I doubt it. I haven't seen too many of them in pub matches to be honest. If so they always take a varied loadout.

HamsterIV:
Most experienced people I have seen roll double gat so they can do some armor shredding then turn the main gun on target. Unfortunately gats lead to that pesky "Just one more shot" syndrome which leads to some engineers (myself included) neglecting the hull at critical moments. Flairs on the other hand don't cause people to worry about finishing a reload or emptying the clip.

One question of my own:
Do shooting greased rounds out of the flair gun reduce the fire stack on a successful hit? I got the impression fire stacks were a different damage system than normal impact damage.

Moriarty:
Thats a good question, however another good question is why weren't you using heavy?

The flare gun's shot drop is bad enough as is, and I don't think the flair gun has much of an aim wiggle. I have asked my crew to bring lesmok in the past, but most of the time we are so close the extra accuracy wasn't necessary.
