Are Molotovs considered explosives?

[Kyonshi]

And therefore can they have their damage boosted by putting points into Demo Expert?

 

I see them as incendiary weapons and not explosives, but I could be wrong. And also since we can craft them without putting points into any skill, I tend to think they're not considered explosives and that the only way to boost the damage is to read the Fireman's Almanac that lengthens the burning effect.

Do explosive arrows/bolts also count as explosives?

Does archery increase the explosion damage or just the direct hit?

I've not tested that.
