Limb Critter (apparent?) bugs

[Cyfarfod]

First off- you can shoot a limb critter with a pod weapon, in this case strelka laser.  It will hit, and not pass through target.  It takes damage, apparently, but this will NEVER EVER kill the limb critter.  I put 20 shots into a handspider I had immobilized in space and it didn't die.

Secondly- Are flamethrowers working?  I blasted a legworm with somewhere between 6-10 shots of stream-of-5 shots of phlogiston from a flamethrower.  It merrily sat there burning and survived the round.
