What would guys think of...

Demo have it easier with hordes of enemies at higher difficulties they're not suppose to handle enemies like scrakes nor FP and i think you're suppose to kill a siren before they scream.Not to mention Firebugs have a bad time killing scrakes and FP's too.

The Demo perk was pretty much tailor made for killing Fleshpounds since they're weak against explosives. It can handle Scrakes if need be too:

Firebugs can handle a Scrake pretty easily with the Husk Fireball Launcher. All it takes is two fully charged headshots.

The husk fireball launcher is kinda of a weapon that removes a lot of options and is kinda unwieldy for the firebug hence why i wanted to give them a better weapon to defend them self.The demo kinda have that problem too but like you said they have pipebombs ready easily for the FP's and scrakes while still being better than firebugs at exterminating lowly zeds.

i don't think firebug needs a weapon like that. trenchgun and mac-10 are doing their job just fine.

more interesting would be something like molotov cocktails/napalm to be able to let some area burn for some time, but that's something completely different.
