Here's a weird one for you....

FireStreamSys calls FireStream to do the in-trajectory work, FlamThrow is only used by the direct impact spot (well, that is true for Railgun particles, maybe fire streams don't use the weapon's Damage at all...). FireStream has Damage=2 / Warhead=Fire , which means almost trivial damage. And the Veteran/Elite Armor multipliers on the Conscript reduce the already miniature damage to something less than 1, which is silently discarded.
