1. Is M249 better than AK-47?
2. Is Flamethrower useful? Does it uses the TROWING skill?
3. Is Army Body Armor better than SWAT Armor?

Thanks.

Replying my own thread, I read weapons.xml

1. M249 has random damage of 301 and strikes 5 times. AK-47 has random damage of 251 and strikes 3 times. Both have fixed damage of 10. So looking at these numbers I can say that yes it's better.
2. Again, by the numbers deals 201 random damage, but has 9 armor penetration in constrats to AK-47 which has 7. But it burns, and I don't know the numbers what I think that's damage over time. And uses the heavy weapons skill.
3. By the numbers, yes, has more bonus armor.

1: Yes. The M249 is a heavy machine gun. The AK-47 is less powerful. But since there are only 9 spare M249 magazines in the entire game, it might be too awesome to use.
2: Not really. It causes fires on the square you're on, so you get burned anytime you use it. It is a heavy weapon. Where the hell did you get the idea that you would throw it at your enemies?
3: SWAT body armor have 5 defense on the head, 7 on the torso, 2 on the arms, and 2 on the legs. Army body armor have 6 on the head, and 8 on the body, but do not cover legs nor arms. I tend to think SWAT is better because you have protection on your whole body, but it's ultimately your choice.

Note, you can put on bunker gear you get from killing firemen to reduce the fire damage, but IIRC it is useless against anything else.
