Is that thing supposed to be a molotov cocktail? What the heck? Since when does a molotov cocktail have a time fuse? Isn't a Sasparilla bottle supposed to break when it falls to the ground? Unless they used ultra strong glass?!

A simple question for clarification first. Your refering to the Fire bomb from dead money? I believe it is designed to be a flaming land mine, not a cocktail. trap version of the incindiary grenade.

I believe he's referring to the Honest Hearts "grenade", as opposed to the landmine-like Gas Bomb from Dead Money.

And @OP: I agree that, like the Incendiary Grenade, the Fire Bomb isn't the best grenade-like weapon out there...but I for one love it anyway. It's just so damn cool.

Fire Bomb is made wrong. It has a timer (Molotovs usually dont, they "detonate" when the glass bottle breaks) and the fireball effect is seriously too small. With half the explosive power of dynamite and 1.5 times the blast radius, this would make a nice grenade if it placed a prolonged burning debuff upon the victims. And also make them explode on impact rather than time (I have never seen a Molotov explode on yard above ground, Fire Bombs somehow can, not really nice). Missiles explode on impact too, so why not the Fire Bombs.

It's not a molotov.

Yes it is.
