IMHO they are, as long as you are strapped for points. 1 melta gun isn't reliable, but having 2 or more is. In all honesty, I would consider running that 5 man squad with 2 pistols. With jump packs you should be trying to get within 3 inches anyways (so you can assault what comes out) and the pistol rule gives you an extra attack (which isn't much, but its useful occasionally). As for the hand flamer: Isn't it only S3? I've had good luck with sisters with TL hand flamers, but IIRC those are at least S4, not being TL and being lower strength means I don't think they are all that good except maybe against DE.

They just take regular backpacks

Hand flamers are meh but I was wondering about them anyways

Infernus pistols are interesting. With 6" range it's hard to drop points into

Should infernus pistols be taken along in a 1500 list? And as well as the previous equipment: powersword, melta gun, priest , etc.

Infernus pistols are ok, certainly better than DE blast pistols. The 6" range is limiting, but if you are within6 you are probably within3 so you get your melta.
