Possible Firebug weapon

Oh you, I was thinking of writing a concept up for lighter+bug spray, possibly making a texture for it, then asking for someone to model and code it.
Basically the normal fire does the usual short ranged fire burst you'd expect and altfire makes you rip the cap off, ignite it and throwing the can which spins in a flaming whirl, burning everything indiscriminately for a few seconds, depending how much ammo was left in the can.
That way it would fulfill the same role as molotov cocktails, setting up a "firewall", while not being restricted to that use alone.
The weight would be 1, same damage as the flamer but very short afterburn and you won't ignite yourself like with a flamer (so firebugs have something for enemies that are up close. Like those damn bugs) so this would be an option to fill up the last block.
Also yes, do want.

100% YES!!! This is actually what describes "apocalypse". Using whatever you have to survive. Nice one 
Looking forward on this one.

What's this? My dream is coming true???
I can actually see this as a tier 1 weapon, shooting a small, thin line of fire that can light maybe 2 specimens on fire at once. Maybe costing about around 100 DOSHH, or something similiar to the machete. Perhaps replacing the Firebugs 9mm?
..Maybe not that last idea

The can should so have "Horzine Body Deodorant! They just won't be able to keep their hands off you!"

I think the idea is to have a starting weapon that you can buy at regular price and keep along with your regular weapons, so you can level up the firebug perk without necessarily playing a dedicated FB.Add this if you please, but I think I'll stick with the flamethrower. It'll have more power and range, leaving the rest of the Firebugs to rot
With that in mind, I approve wholeheartedly.
I'd have it replace the 9mm at a certain level of firebug. Then you could always level your firebug and set things on fire even if you run out of flamethrower ammo. =D
In my experience, aerosol cans tend to have a wider cone of spray than what the FT currently has, so its use would be in between the FT and Berserker's melee. It'd be awesome for eliminating lone clots or crawlers, and giving Firebug something to save his FT fuel with.
One modification is needed, though.
The lighter needs to be WAY lower.
If the gas can spray hits 100% of the flame, it'll extinguish. You need to leave room for the flame to burn, so it can then burn the gas can spray.ww
Believe me, I've done this a few times :3

What, to hell with that. For me, it's the complete opposite. I'd use it if I were using another perk, simply because it doesn't weigh too much ad would be a decent backup weapon. Then again, you'd be taking one assload of fire damage from it that way, which would again, put me off.
