Although kind of cool, it is better to have a round accurate than loud and with a hell of a flame. But maybe that is what you should gear for, a medium round with a flame like all get out?

I always look at it this way, the hot gun in your hand if it blows, it will throw hot splinters into your hand, tearing through your tendons, muscle and flesh and if unlucky, hot metal splinters into your face or eyes... Those shooting glasses may or may not stop hot blistering metal splinters...
