The heavy incinerator is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
It creates balls of fire which can ignite foes from a distance, unlike its sibling, the flamer, which requires the user to be in close proximity to a target. The heavy incinerator shoots considerably faster than the normal incinerator. Its rate of fire is equivalent to the heavy incinerator in Fallout 3. Note that this weapon has a long range like the sniper rifle making this an effective long ranged artillery weapon. However it does take some skill to use it well at longer ranges, due to the flame's trajectory. It is also very accurate at short ranges if aimed correctly.
It is affected by the Meltdown perk.
It is essentially the energy weapons counterpart to the grenade machinegun, just with a magazine size of 24 instead of 30.
Durability
The heavy incinerator can fire a total of about 995 times using standard fuel, the equivalent of 42 reloads, from full condition before breaking. The flamer and incinerator also fire exactly the same amount before breaking.
