Overview
Automated Flame turret. Requires Low Grade Fuel. Sprays flames when triggered.
Fire in a tight corridor is what you are paying for. Put this turret around a corner inside your base, and a raider who just blew the door walks straight into a cone of flame. It ignores anyone authorized on your Tool Cupboard, so your group can walk past it.
It runs on low grade fuel instead of electricity, which keeps it working when your power is down. The price is upkeep: each burst eats some fuel, and an empty turret is decoration. The parts you will actually hunt for are two empty propane tanks; the rest is metal on a Level 1 bench, after 30 scrap of research.
Watch out
Raiders who know it bait it. They step into its reach, back off and repeat until the tank runs dry, or they shoot it from outside its range. Refill after every attack and back it up with a shotgun trap covering the same room.
Its reach is short, so one standing in the middle of a big open room does little. Corners, stairwells and narrow airlocks suit it best.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
