Venture Reaper X1 Flamethrower

Usage
Flamethrowers are only usable within close range. The Reaper X1 is mounted on a turret, so with some protection to soak up fire it will act very well burning through shields and most blocks, and are highly effective once the shields are down, as they deal reduced damage to shields. It is mostly outclassed by the Better Future Plasma Flamethrower due to the low damage and shorter range, as well as a less-appealing flame color, not to mention that it also take twice the space just for the worse stats. In general, it is mostly a niche weapon as most other venture weapons can do better than that while not taking up that much space.

Trivia

 * This weapon was named after the player ReaperX1.
 * Due to the particle effects block has the potential to reduce framerate if used in large amounts.
 * This weapon might not be designed for a weapon originally, despite the second part of the description. Rather, it was simply a piece of pyro tech. This is further reinforced by the first part of the description, stating that it is only good for it's aesthetic value.
 * It also references the fact that flamethrowers cannot damage rocks and thus are ineffective mining weapons.
