4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

Creatures caught in a flamethrower's line of effect may make a Reflex save to halve the damage dealt. The flamethrower's save DC is 10 + the user's base attack bonus.
You can only make one attack with a flamethrower per turn, as it delivers a continuous stream of fire. However, if you attack as a full-round action, you deal +3d8 extra fire damage for every iterative attack after the first you are entitled to for having a high BAB, to a maximum of +9d8 extra damage at BAB +16.
When using the full-round action attack option, you may choose to 'mow' instead of simply firing straight. You may substitute the line for a cone half its length, centered upon your facing.
Flamethrowers can have an enhancement bonus. For every +1 of enhancement bonus the flamethrower has, its base damage increases by +1d8, its save DC increases by +2, and it gains an additional 5 feet of range.
A flamethrower is a heavy weapon and needs to be readied as a move action before it can be fired. You can move only up to your land speed when you have a flamethrower readied.
Special[edit]
You do more damage with a flamethrower if you have the Pyromaniac feat.
