	The secondary weapon for the Engineer and Scout classes, the pistol is a mixture of the [[Makarov PM]], [[Walther PPK]], and [[Smith & Wesson 61 Escort]]. It possesses the Makarov's slide, trigger, upper frame, the PPK's ejection port, handle, handgrips, and the S&W's trigger guard. It lacks power and has only average accuracy, but has good range and is semi-automatic with a very fast reload time for its ~~twelve~~-round magazine; it can be used as a backup when one's primary weapon is out of ammunition (either for finishing off injured enemies or covering a retreat), or for harassing enemies and picking off undefended buildings at a distance. The light-traveling Scout carries three extra magazines (36 rounds), and the ever-prepared Engineer carries sixteen extra magazines and two-thirds of one more (a whopping 200 rounds).

The light-traveling Scout carries three extra magazines (36 rounds), and the ever-prepared Engineer carries sixteen extra magazines and two-thirds of one more (a whopping 200 rounds). A balancing mechanic shared with all pistols, revolvers, and submachine guns is that after firing the first shot, consecutive follow-up shots will significantly drop in accuracy until the player stops firing for 1.25 seconds.

	A different weapon, usable only by the Engineer is the "Rescue Ranger". Visually, it has the receiver (with a left-handed ejection port, like the other pump actions in the game) of an [[Ithaca 37]], colored black with a dark brown sawed-off grip, a black ribbed barrel and a short magazine tube both similar to that of a [[Remington 870]] and a ~~flat~~, dark brown forend. The gun also has a yellow/orange (depending on the team it belongs to) monitor (which displays a moving sine wave), attached above the receiver and a team colored cable running from said monitor to a yellow/orange extension of some sorts located at the end of the shotgun's barrel. The Rescue Ranger has unique abilities unlike the game's other shotguns in which instead of firing hitscan shotgun pellets, the Rescue Ranger shoots a slower moving cylindrical battery connected to a retractable claw per shot. The purpose of this weapon is to act as a defensive utility item, as these special projectiles repair the Engineer's (or ~~player~~'s ~~teammate~~'s) buildings when shot at (at the cost of metal) and also allows its user to safely pick up any one of their buildings at any distance as long as their crosshair is focused on it. Picking up buildings from long ranges consumes 100 units of the Engineer's metal and also "marks" them for death (meaning any incoming damage will be registered with a 35% damage bonus during this time). The Rescue Ranger can also be used to harm enemies, but is impractical for direct combat due to the gun only holding four "bolt slugs" per reload, having a reserve ammo count of 16 rounds (half the amount of reserve rounds for other shotguns) and fired projectiles being easily avoidable because of ~~its~~ slow travel speed along with ~~its low~~ damage ~~output~~. Because the Rescue Ranger doesn't chamber combustible ammunition, it appropriately does not eject shotgun shells, though its reload animation still shows them being inserted.

The weapon is modelled with a lever-action loop, integral drum magazine and a "mare's leg" style sawed-off stock & barrel. It functions similarly to the default Scattergun, though it reduces Scout's initial speed by 10% and holds only 4 shells at a time. However, dealing damage with either this shotgun or its user's currently equipped secondary/melee weapons will fill a "Boost" meter, which allows the Scout to run faster, up to a maximum of double his speed at most. The boost is partly lost double-jumping and when taking damage. This weapon's name is inspired by the infamous gangster "Baby-Face Nelson". As with Scout's default Scattergun, the reload animation for this weapon involves its user simply cycling the gun's lever a number of times to magically load shells for it.

	The Scout's default primary weapon is a stockless, semi-automatic, double-short-barreled "Scattergun" with an integral six-round drum magazine and a hammerless lever-action receiver somewhat akin to the [[Savage 99]]. It is statistically similar to the Shotgun, but with slightly different reload timings (faster for the first shell, but slightly slower for each subsequent one) and a unique damage ramp-up at close range (175% of its base per-pellet damage as opposed to most weapons' 150%). Oddly, the Scout never actually loads new shells into the weapon; he simply works the lever to eject spent shells, which replaces them with fresh ammo in a manner that is best not thought about. ~~The Scout~~ has 32 shotshells of reserve ammo ~~for this weapon~~.

	A sawed-off [[Ithaca 37]], holding six shotshells and generically referred to as the shotgun, is the Engineer's primary weapon and the secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy. Regardless of which class is using it, all of them have 32 shotshells of reserve ammo. At close range, the shotgun deals great damage, but falls off noticeably at mid range. Although it is his primary weapon, the Engineer uses it primarily in self-defense of himself and his buildings. The other classes that use the shotgun as a secondary have highly-damaging primary weapons and use the shotgun to finish off injured opponents or to conserve primary weapon ammo. The Soldier's shotgun taunt has him firing three shots in the manner of a twenty-one-gun salute, though no ammo is expended and the taunt does no damage. Also when drawing it, the Pyro will rack the forend, while the other classes don't. Strangely, the ejection port of the shotgun only moves after being racked when fired by the Engineer, but not for the other classes or even when the Engineer racks the forend after reloading. The ejection port (which on a real Ithaca 37 doubles as the loading port on the bottom of the receiver) is also located on the left side of the receiver, but for some bizarre reason the shells are ejected to the ''right'', a quirk present in all the pump action shotguns in the game.

	An unused background prop for the map "Mercenary Park" contains both a model and a matching texture sheet for what strongly resembles a [[Maxim\|Maxim Gun]]. As part of a scrapped idea, self-controlled turrets positioned at a team's spawn room (likely as an anti-spawncamping measure, similarly to in ''Team Fortress Classic'') were planned to be added into ''Team Fortress 2'', however, it is unknown why this idea was shelved. There are also unused textures for a turret mount, implying that the Maxim Gun may have been used for this spawn-turret role.
