I disagree with the danger element - most scifi flamers would use a
binary fuel that was only dangerous after mixing - usually mixed during
acceleration through the barrel of the weapon - with little more risk
than a 20th century firearm, although possiblities will always exist for
catastrophic accidents during use, for example Drakes' wild blast in
Aliens when he was sprayed with acid. :-\
