Team Fortress 2 (2007)

Team Fortress 2 is a Source engine first-person shooter created by Valve. As the name implies, the action is team-based, with both teams composed of nine distinct classes divided into offensive, defensive, and support categories. The game is well known for its dark humor, infinite fan-controversy and incredibly lazy, if hilarious, animations.

The game's art style is a distinctive cartoonish take on 60s espionage; the designs of the game's weapons are stylized versions of familiar designs. Many weapons in the game were made by the community and added by Valve instead of being made by Valve themselves.

The following weapons are used in the video game Team Fortress 2:

Shared Weapons

"Pistol"

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 12-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). 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.

Interestingly, early concept art shows that there was originally supposed to be a sidearm based on the SIG P210; also considered were a hammerless variant with a slide-mounted safety, and several suppressed designs, including a Remington Model 51, an FN Model 1922, a Sauer 38H, and one in particular based on the Mauser HSc.

 ==Ithaca 37==
-A sawed-off [[Ithaca 37]] "Shotgun" is the Engineer's primary weapon and the secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy. Although it is his primary weapon, the Engineer uses it primarily in self-defense and in defense of his buildings. At close range, the Shotgun deals great damage, but falls off noticeably at mid range. 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. In the Soldier's Shotgun taunt, he fires three shots in the manner of a twenty-one-gun salute, though no ammo is expended and causes no damage. Also when drawing it, the Pyro will rack the forend, which the other classes don't do. Strangely, the ejection port of the "Shotgun" only moves after being racked when fired as the Engineer, but this is not present when using the weapon as other classes.
+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, with 10 pellets per shotshell. 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.

 ==Mossberg 500==
-There are two shotguns in the game that bear a resemblance to the [[Mossberg 500]]. "The Family Business" is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy, it is fitted with wooden furniture and a tubular stock and a safety selector mounted on the left side of the receiver above the trigger. Concept art for the weapon shows that it more closely resembles a [[Benelli M3 Super 90]]. It fires 15% faster than the default Shotgun, holds eight rounds (the highest ammo capacity of all the shotguns in the game) and appears to be chambered in 20 gauge, since it deals less damage per shot. Due to a bug (which has since been patched), spent shells from "The Family Business" would eject from the center of the screen, appearing out of thin air. In addition, the forend was previously fixed to the gun's magazine tube; the whole weapon would move back and forth instead of the pump's action, this has now been fixed. Alternative names for the Family Business include the "Soviet Stampede" and "Russian Riot", with the latter name still being used in the game's files.

-The other shotgun is the "Reserve Shooter", which features a green frame with a white star inside of a ring similar to the symbol seen on US Army vehicles in World War II, a green USMC-style barrel clamp, wooden sawed-off stock, and wooden forend. Above the shotgun's receiver is an external mechanism of sorts whose purpose is unclear (however, an [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Reserve_Shooter#/media/File:Reserve_Shooter_Concept.png early weapon model] shows that a folding stock would've been mounted here). Originally available exclusively to the Soldier, recent updates allowed the Reserve Shooter to be used by the Pyro as well. The weapon only holds four rounds (despite its magazine tube being visually almost the same length as the default Shotgun's) at a time, and after drawing it will deliver mini-crit damage to targets launched mid-air, mainly by explosions. As of the Jungle Inferno Update on October 20 of 2017, it cannot mini-crit targets launched by the Pyro's flamethrower compression blast, but the damage bonus will count against enemy Pyros airborne with the "Thermal Thruster" jetpack item. As another effect, the user will switch to the weapon 20% faster. Interestingly, the weapon has an ejection port on the left side, but ejects spent shells to the right when fired as with every other pump-action shotgun in the game.

The safety is pointed at 'F'). Ignoring the fact that the Mossberg 500 has a tang safety that is located on the top of the receiver, the location of the safety selector is questionable; traditionally longarm manual safeties are located, relatively speaking, in line with or behind the trigger so that they can block the trigger/firing mechanism and be easy to access and toggle off with the firing hand. Additionally, AR-15 style safeties tend to have 'safe' be the lever pointed at the 3 o'clock position, and the (semi-auto) fire position be the lever pointed at the 6 o'clock position; this is so one can go from 'safe' to 'fire' with the flick of a thumb. The Family Business's fire selector, on the other hand, has the selector lever ''be'' the fire mode indicator, and seemingly has 'fire' as the lever pointed at the 9 o'clock position and 'safe' as the lever pointed at the 11 o'clock position; this fact, along with how far the safety selector is located from the trigger, would mean that switching to either would necessitate either taking the offhand off the forend or the firing hand off the grip. All of this is to say that the fire selector is both ergonomically and mechanically suspect...which would mean that it fits in perfectly with the rest of Mann Co's catalogue.]]

 ==Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"==
-The "Panic Attack" shotgun is based off a [[Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"]], with a sawed down stock and a drum magazine loaded into the bayonet mount. The "Panic Attack" used to act similarly to the Soldier's Beggar's Bazooka, having the player load in rounds and firing them off in a quick succession, but a later update changed it to function like the game's other shotguns. Before the stat change of this weapon, its shells were inserted 50% faster than with the Ithaca 37 listed above and the Panic Attack also fired faster as the player's health got lower with weapon accuracy decreasing as well. Currently, the Panic Attack is drawn by its user much quicker, it fires 15 pellets per shell in a fixed grid pattern but as a trade-off, each pellet deals less damage and the shot pattern widens between consecutive shots.

The "Back Scatter" works similarly to the Pyro's "Backburner" flame thrower, dealing out more damage if the enemy is shot from behind. Enemies shot from behind within roughly thirty feet suffer mini-crits, though the weapon cannot inflict random critical hits and is twenty percent less accurate than the normal Scattergun. Just like the Scout's default Scattergun, the weapon is reloaded by cycling the lever action, with no new shells shown being loaded into the weapon.

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 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 its fired projectiles being easily avoidable because of their slow travel speed along with their middling damage. 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.

 ==Dan Wesson PPC .357==
-The Spy's unlockable "Ambassador" is a [[Dan Wesson revolvers#Dan Wesson PPC|Dan Wesson PPC .357]] revolver heavily customized with rosewood grips and engravings on the barrel depicting the Scout's mother. Its barrel shape is similar to that from the Taurus Tracker series of revolvers. The Ambassador deals 15% less damage than the stock Revolver, only inflicts critical hits on headshots, and has a short period of severe inaccuracy right after each shot. The Ambassador is otherwise almost as accurate as the Sniper Rifle, though as of the Jungle Inferno Update this is counterbalanced with a range penalty, removing the critical hit bonus after a certain distance. The Russian "Sniper vs. Spy" page claims that the Ambassador is chambered in .50 caliber.
+The Spy's unlockable "Ambassador" is a [[Dan Wesson revolvers#Dan Wesson PPC|Dan Wesson PPC .357]] revolver heavily customized with rosewood grips and engravings on the barrel depicting the Scout's mother. Its barrel shape and front sight more closely resembles that on a [[Taurus Raging Bull]]. In-game, the Ambassador deals 15% less damage than the Python, only inflicts critical hits on headshots and has a short period of severe inaccuracy right after each shot which is indicated by the crosshair enlarging and then resizing back to normal. As with the game's other handguns, the Ambassador is otherwise almost as accurate as the Sniper Rifle when firing timed shots, though as of the Jungle Inferno Update this is counterbalanced with a range penalty, removing the critical hit bonus after a certain distance.

 The Ambassador is missing three things essential to real-life operation (L'Etranger shares these oddities):

-Players who pre-ordered or bought ''Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse'' within the first week of its release earned Sam's signature sidearm, the "Big Kill," as a replacement primary weapon for the Spy. It is a reskinned Ambassador with the same stats as the Revolver and the same animation bugs as the Ambassador. The gun is based on a [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]], though it is much smaller than its ''Sam & Max'' counterpart. Just like Spy's other revolvers, the "Big Kill's" hammer and cylinder do not move when firing and the cylinder floats on its own outside the frame when reloading.
+Players who pre-ordered or bought ''Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse'' within the first week of its release earned Sam's signature sidearm, the "Big Kill," as a replacement primary weapon for the Spy. Visually, the gun appears to be based on a cartoonishly simplified [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]], though it is much smaller than its ''Sam & Max'' counterpart. Statistically, the Big Kill is a reskin of the Python and like the other revolvers (excluding the two Colts), its cylinder is never emptied in the reload animation. Its hammer and cylinder also do not move while firing with the latter floating on its own outside the frame when it is swung out for reloading.

 ==Maxim Gun==
 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.
