    For one, it's a double action - flick up lid, flick down switch. Now if you're really hot shit and have the disciplined dexterity, the flick could be executed in a single action. Or you could remove the safety shutter, dropping it to single action, but this opens risks to the tacticool Operator such as exposing the nozzles (mostly to the lint in your Operator pants), accidental ignition (mostly occuring when rummaging for your other tactical items within your Operator pants), and accidental trouser discharge (inside your tactical skivvies, of course).

    This is just one feature that can be mastered and manipulated. This lighter offers many, many more.

    That's another very tactical feature, Josh. It's a woodland and desert gradient similarly found on many combat uniforms. Ideally, you would want be in full combat gear, including a guilly suit for maximum terrain blending, body paint, and have this exact ligher (available in a $99 cutter/flame combo) on your person as you blend in to your back yard while your wife and kids call out for you to make them dinner, clean the house, or fix the shitter. Now a true tactician would have a fire going, while hiding nearby, thereby masking the cigar smoke coming from a pile of, what the wife thought, were leaves or tall grass. The glare of Zippos and glossy lighters is a dead giveaway even when absolutely blended, still and silent.
