Honestly, increasing the speed is more of a nerf than a buff. This drastically reduces its effectiveness as an arming time compensator.

Looking forward to trying it out, though. The changes to the flamer might help a little bit, but reducing the amount of stacks for gun disabling would really be better...

RearAdmiralZill:
Dont forget about heatsink for arming time reduction.
