simple...........its an error. It was 2 in the last DOS version and somewhere between then and now it was made 3...why IDK but doing this work would be a LOT less stressfull if errors like this were NOT presented as some kind of conspiracy. IDK why it was changed or when.....I'd ask the "experts" who have made it their lifes work to comb through these OOB's looking for details like this and pointing them out.

OR it could be one of our resident USMC experts dug out a source claiming this range and I was too frigging busy to cross check the fact

Take your pick

EDIT.......well it looks like it was 2 like everyone else until V7 so when I get time I'll review last years notes and see if I can figure out why but it's back to 2 now.......maybe it was just "bigthumbitis"

Further Edit........ checked the V7 notes and there is no mention of any change to the USMC ww2 flamethrowers so put this down to $hit Happens
