I know that, but that's exactly why I was confused. There's no reason to include the flamethrower in this set because it had nothing to do with the Eagle 5 (whereas the RV in Stripes did have a built-in flamethrower).

That deal between Lucas and Brooks is also the reason why the "Merchandising" scene and associated running-gags are in the film.
