Sounds good. Roughly the same as a spear, but with weaker DB due to it's 
shorter length.

Since he's spitting it, I'd make it Nimbleness (normally, I'd say Vigor for 
spitting, but this is a little different <g>). Hand-eye coordination isn't 
going to help much for hocking up a flammable spitwad.

Since it's a "jet," I'd make it a specific location. 

Actually, I can see a case for massive damage (but the HOE massive damage 
rules make this ungodly). Marshal's call--with a recommendation that if you 
use the HOE rules, make it single location, if not use massive damage.
