In Suikoden II, the Fire Spears have a range of two squares. That's fairly significant. It could be chalked up to a gameplay element, but that's a sissy excuse.

I think it's possible that Fire Spears are indeed set up to have a flame-thrower effect, despite their real world origin. It's important to note that Viktor threw a bunch of them into the furnace at the Mercenary Fort. While gunpowder would certainly cause some damage, if they were filled with some sort of flammable liquid, that could cause some serious damage.

I think the fire spears in Suikoden are more akin to simple flame throwers. The fact that Tsai can fix them can be solved by identifying what the problem was. They were rusty! Any talented weaponsmith would be able to refit metal to an object; in this case, fire spears. I do agree with the connection between japanese fire lances and Suikoden fire spears, but it would seem from animation and game mechanics in the second game (and somewhat, in the first), that flame thrower is more accurate. I think it is just the games creators taking liberty with their history inspired elements.
