This is a very old, very known, and very annoying bug. O/H pistol flame blast and flamethrower often miss when they ought to be hitting, on mobs and structures alike. Only way to hit reliably is if you, the camera, and the object are all perfectly still.

If you find yourself missing your target repeatedly, double click it while stationary. It will usually center your aim at it.

Yeah, you need to face the structure and can’t move at all for the hits to land. It’s not really an option in situations like AC where there are gravelings after your blood. So I usually go with the bomb kit for the burrows because, ironically, I can kite better with them.
