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.

-Team Fortress 2 is a First Person Shooter created by Valve on the Source engine. As the name implies, it is very heavily reliant on team strategies, and as such, the game is class-based; instead of picking a player character and picking a weapon load-out, a player picks a class of character that already has its own weapons. A good team usually requires an even mix of offensive and defensive classes.
-It is also worthy of note that the game's art direction is one of cartoony 60's espionage camp- this means that the gun designs found in the game tend not to be real guns, but stylish representations of familiar designs.

+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.

+==Luger P08==
+Max's signature "Lugermorph" sidearm in the ''Sam and Max: Freelance Police'' series appears as an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout (and the Engineer after the July 1st 2010 update) for players who pre-ordered ''Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse'' or bought it within the first week of its release, or by winning it from Max in the game ''Poker Night at the Inventory''. Based on the [[Luger P08]], the Lugermorph is only a cosmetic reskin of the regular Pistol. As the model was taken wholesale from the ''Sam and Max'' games, the Luger's model is only one piece, as neither shells eject nor does the slide move when firing; the magazine is also fixed to the gun and is never removed from it, even during the reloading and inspecting animations.

+[[File:TeamFortress2ScoutLugermorphIdle.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Scout holds the Lugermorph at ready. Par for the course for Team Fortress 2, the rear sight is nonexistent and the front sight is comically large and would result in shots going low if anybody actually used iron sights in this game, although since the model was from Telltale's Sam and Max games this one wasn't Valve's fault. The large size of the Lugermorph, at least compared to all the other pistols in the game, also makes it obvious that the base of the pistol is clipping into the Scout's off hand.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2ScoutLugermorphInspect1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Scout inspects the Lugermorph. Amusingly, as all the Scout's pistols share the same animations this first involves a magazine check, but since the Lugermorph has no moving parts the Scout instead ''pretends'' to check the magazine while the pertinent sounds play.

+==Ithaca 37==
+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.

+[[File:Engineer_Shotgun.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Notice that the shotgun's ejection port is on the left side, not the bottom like the real Ithaca 37, but oddly ejects to the right in-game.]]

+[[File:TF2 - Ithaca37 MeetTheScout.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The Heavy resting his Ithaca 37 on his shoulder in ''Meet the Scout''. Note that his ring-finger fills up the entire trigger guard.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunIdle.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A BLU Soldier holds his stock shotgun at the ready, having just exited his team's spawn on koth_viaduct. Note the addition of a left-handed ejection port on the receiver; the real Ithaca 37 has its loading port double as an ejection port, although as we're about to see the addition of an ejection port is the least of the stock shotgun's bizarre properties.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunInspect1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Soldier inspects his shotgun while exercising good trigger discipline, first by checking out the left side of the shotgun. Note the action bar, or rather the complete lack of one since apparently Valve have mistaken it for a solid...''thing'' that connects the barrel and the magtube.

+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunInspect2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Trying to ignore the fact that the lack of an action bar means there's no actual way to eject spent hulls, the Soldier glances at the right side of the gun. This "left side, right side" inspection routine is more or less the same as the other classes that can equip the shotgun, albeit with minor variations.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunFiring1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Soldier decides to test his shotgun out on a nearby wall. Here the hitscan properties of the weapon are apparent; the impact sparks indicate that the pellets have hit their target before the cosmetic tracers have even traveled all the way.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunFiring2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Soldier pumps the shotgun to eject a spent shotgun hull, whereupon everything just kind of falls apart. Despite a left-handed ejection port, the shotgun ejects to the ''right'', and the shotgun hull is also ejected with the brass head facing ''towards'' the muzzle (these are both recurring discrepancies with all of Team Fortress 2's pump-action shotguns, although the Family Business is an exception to the former). Also note the static nature of the ejection port; while one might assume it to be solid as is the nature of Team Fortress 2's art style and general low-detail firearms, this isn't actually the case as we'll see in a bit.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunReload.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Soldier tops off the shotgun. For whatever reason, the shotshells that are loaded into the shotgun have a black brass head, making it look less like a shotshell and more like an off-brand battery, despite the earlier use of a perfectly normal shotshell model (this issue is only present with the stock shotgun).  Also note the "shotshell" itself clipping into the Soldier's fingers, and the solid nature of the loading port.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2SoldierShotgunTaunt1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Soldier's shotgun taunt, which is shared with all his shotgun secondaries, first has him perform a small arms variant of a 21-gun salute by firing his shotgun three times in a row, while the start of Taps plays in the background.

Though not visible in this screenshot, there are no muzzle flash effects while performing the taunt, so visually it looks more like the Soldier is mime firing his shotgun.]]

+[[File:TeamFortress2PyroShotgunDraw2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...except that, for no apparent reason, for a few frames the Pyro yanks the forend ''forward'', though the clamp and forward of its default position, which should be physically impossible but for the infinite wackiness of Team Fortress 2...]]

+[[File:TeamFortress2PyroShotgunInspect1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|As mentioned earlier, the Pyro's inspect animation for the shotgun is similar to the Soldier's, albeit without the trigger discipline (as befits the reckless nature of an insane pyromaniac). First, the left side is inspected...]]

+[[File:TeamFortress2PyroShotgunReload3.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...except, once again, the Pyro yanks the forend forward for a few frames for no apparent reason (compare the position of the forend relative to the clamp in this screenshot to that of the inspect screenshot if you have a hard time seeing this)...]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2PyroShotgunReload4.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...before correcting themselves and properly pumping the shotgun, ready to fire again. (This weird forend yanking issue exists on the Pyro's draw and reload animations for all the shotguns available to them, which makes sense as they all share the same animations.)]]

+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunInspect1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy inspects his shotgun. Once again this first starts with a familiar glance at the left side of the gun, although the Heavy holds the shotgun with his firing hand alone...]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunInspect2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...then he grabs the forend again with his off hand and glances at the right side of the gun...]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunInspect3.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...before staring harder at the right side of the gun from a different angle.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunFiring1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy test fires his shotgun.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunFiring2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy pumps his shotgun. Again, the issues with the Soldier and Pyro's shotgun pumping animations are also present here.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunReload.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy tops off his shotgun. Unlike with the Soldier and Pyro, the Heavy has no issues with off-model shotshells in his reload animation...because his reload animation doesn't feature shotshells at all; instead he mimes loading the shotgun by repeatedly gesturing his thumb and index finger towards the bottom of the receiver. Somehow this still works.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunTaunt1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy's shotgun taunt, shared with all his shotgun secondaries, begins with the logical conclusion of twirling a pistol; the Heavy twirls a whole shotgun around his finger. Though not as obvious as the screenshot from the Meet the Scout SFM above, the Heavy's index finger (and all of his fingers, really) are so big that they can just barely fit in the trigger guard, in a way that would only make physical sense if the actual trigger was missing. Also, though it's hard to see in this screenshot, the shotgun will clip through the thumb multiple times while the Heavy is twirling it.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunTaunt2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy then proceeds to point dramatically at the man standing opposite to him, which may or may not be the article reader...]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2HeavyShotgunTaunt3.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...and makes a dramatic "throat-slitting" gesture with his thumb.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2EngineerShotgunDraw.jpg|600px|thumb|none|While all of this is going on, a RED Engineer standing near the control point draws his shotgun.

+[[File:TeamFortress2EngineerShotgunFiring2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Engineer pumps his shotgun.

+[[File:TeamFortress2EngineerShotgunFiring3.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A few frames later, the spent hull is ejected. The ejection port being a moving part doesn't preclude all the other errors with the pump animation, of course.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2EngineerShotgunReload1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Much later, during an actual match in pl_barnblitz, the Engineer tops off his shotgun. As with the Soldier and the Pyro, the shotshells he uses look more like batteries than they do shotshells.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2EngineerShotgunReload2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Having loaded his shotgun up to full capacity, the Engineer wraps up the reload animation with a pump of the forend. The ejection port doesn't move when this happens for reasons unknown.]]
+==Mossberg 500==
+There are two shotguns in the game that bear a resemblance to the [[Mossberg 500]]. The first of the two is the "Family Business", an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy that is fitted with wooden furniture, an adjustable stock and a safety selector mounted on the left side of the receiver. Concept art for the weapon shows that it used to more closely resemble 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, causing the whole weapon to move back and forth instead of the forend; this has now been fixed. Alternative names that were considered 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. It also has a 20% quicker draw speed compared to the stock shotgun.

+[[File:TF2 - FamilyBusiness Taunt Ingame.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Heavy taunts with the "Family Business." Note the Soviet hammer and sickle symbol on the stock. Also note how the ejection port on the world model is a missing surface, allowing the camera to see through the gun.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2FamilyBusinessIdle.jpg|600px|thumb|none|A BLU Heavy in koth_badlands holds his Family Business at the ready. Note the lack of a left-handed ejection port; this is the only pump-action shotgun in the game with a ejection port located on the proper side.]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2FamilyBusinessInspect1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy inspects his shotgun by glancing at the left side of it. Besides the comically oversized screws, and the fact that the Family Business's proportions are clearly not designed with the Heavy's idle animations in mind since his thumb is clipping into the receiver, note the nonsensical AR-15 styled safety (though it's hard to make out due to the fidelity of the screenshot, the letters F and S are engraved into the receiver, the letter F being colored red; presumably these represent 'Fire' and 'Safe'. The safety is pointed at 'F').]]
+[[File:TeamFortress2FamilyBusinessInspect2.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Heavy glances at the right side of the gun. Note what appears to be the breech bolt bulging out of the ejection port, which should firstly not be possible on a Mossberg 500 because the elevator would be in the way, and secondly highlights the fact the elevator is missing. Even disregarding these two factors, the bolt bulging out of the ejection port would surely immobilize the forend and prevent the extraction of spent hulls. Also note the Heavy's right hand is clipping through the stock; evidently the Heavy's inspect animations weren't designed with shotgun stocks in mind either.]]

+==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, although despite this it still holds a measly six shotshells like the stock shotgun. 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 and fires 15 pellets per shell in a fixed horizontal five-by-three grid pattern, but as a trade-off each pellet deals less damage and the shot pattern widens between consecutive shots.
-An amalgam of several [[Walther PP Pistol Series|Walther PP]] designs is the secondary weapon for the Engineer and Scout classes. Called simply "Pistol" in the game, it lacks power and has average accuracy, but has good range and is semi-automatic, with a very fast reload time. Both the Engineer and the Scout carry different shotguns as their main weapons, which are effective at closer range and reload very slowly; the Pistol is an excellent alternative to finish off an enemy instead of reloading the shotgun, defend oneself when retreating, or for picking off enemies that are at a distance.

As an aside, there is a command that completely disables random spread on shotguns, causing them to fire similarly uniform pellet patterns with no deviation, and a different number of pellets depending on the weapon (most shotguns will fire a fixed 3x3 pattern).

-In the game, the Pistol has a 12-round magazine. The light-traveling Scout carries 3 extra magazines, and the Engineer, ever prepared, carries 16 extra magazines and half of one more.

+==COP 357==
+The "Shortstop," a pearl-gripped derringer based on the [[COP 357 Derringer]] with a single external hammer, is one of the Scout's unlockable primary weapons. It has a tighter spread than the Scattergun, fires 75% faster, and reloads in one second, but inflicts 20% less damage overall, only loads four rounds, and each round only has four pellets. It is the only primary weapon based on a secondary. Visually, the Shortstop seems to chamber oversized .357 Magnum rounds but actually fires several projectiles per shot, similar to "snake shot" ammunition. The weapon also used to draw from the same ammunition pool as the Pistol, Lugermorph, or Winger, which has since been changed in a patch. The Shortstop currently has the unique feature of enabling the Scout to do a shove attack at an enemy in front of him, though it increases all knockback force taken by 20% while active. [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Shortstop#/media/File:ShortstopCept.jpg Concept art] of the "Shortstop" suggests that it would have more closely resembled a combination of a COP .357 and a four-shot Remington-Elliot Derringer, though the final product only has some slight features of the Remington (such as the grip shape).

+[[File:TeamFortress2ShortstopInspect1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The inspect animation begins with the Shortstop being opened with a flick of the wrist and staring at the left side, curiously ''not'' looking at the ammunition loaded in the chambers.

+[[File:TeamFortress2ShortstopReload1.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Reloading the Shortstop, which first involves the Scout flicking the Shortstop open again, causing the empty casings (which will all be empty, regardless of how many rounds you actually fired before reloading) to be ejected with utmost vigor.

+[[File:TeamFortress2ShortstopAltfire.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Introduced with the Meet Your Match update was an altfire attack for the Shortstop: a shove that deals 1 point of damage and punts the enemy back, similar to the "airblast" feature of the flamethrower. While doing this, the Scout makes a sound that presumably is meant to be a labored grunt from exertion of force, but sounds more like a constipated man trying to use the toilet. As for the shove itself, its short range compared to that of the flamethrower's airblast range, as well as the short delay between the shove connecting and the enemy player actually getting pushed, means that it is seldom used in actual gameplay.]]

It is an unlockable secondary weapon for Scout, which inflicts 15% more damage per shot than the Pistol, but only loads five rounds. It also increases the user's maximum jump height by 25%. According to the creator of the Winger's model, the lack of its external hammer was intentional and was done in order to avoid it looking too similar to the default pistol, stating that the Winger is striker fired.

+==Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket==
+Released as part of the Pyromania Update, the "Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol" is based on the [[Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket]] with wood grips. The pistol's name is inspired by notorious gangster Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd. The weapon also shares the same reloading animation as the Scout's default pistol. It previously fired 10% slower than the normal Pistol (before an update removed this stat) and now holds only 9 rounds in the magazine with the ability to heal the Scout for up to 3 health per hit.

-The [[Colt Python]], with a 6" barrel and ivory grips, is the primary weapon for the Spy class. It's strong and accurate and has better-than-average range. The "Revolver", as it is called in-game, is strong enough at close range to take out the lower-health classes with 2 or 3 well-aimed rounds.
+=="Scattergun"==
+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. Like the shotgun, the Scattergun has 32 shotshells of reserve ammo and each shotshell has 10 pellets.
-[[Image:ColtPythonFlipSide.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Colt Python with 6" Barrel - .357 Magnum]]
+Some early [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scattergun#/media/File:Sawed_off.jpg concept art] depicts several alternate concepts, including more conventional-looking sawn-offs (which presumably turned into the "Force-A-Nature" below), single-barreled variations with and without drum magazines (in both cases possessing magazine tubes and forends more akin to a traditional lever-action rifle), and a version with two separate triggers and a [[Winchester Model 1887]] receiver.

+[[File:TF2 Scattergun Drawing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As with his other weapons, the Scout draws his Scattergun somewhat more dramatically than many other classes; this animation apparently implies that he keeps the weapon on his back, facing lever-out and muzzle-up, possibly in the bag he keeps over his shoulder (see above).]]
+[[File:TF2 Scattergun Holding.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Idling with the Scattergun on koth_lakeside. This rather clearly shows the problem with the weapon's iron sights: they're completely blocked by the drum, and are thus entirely unusable. Not that any irons are usable in-game either way.]]
+[[File:TF2 Scattergun Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Returning to his street-hooligan roots, the Scout peppers a parked car with 10-pellet buckshot. Given the location of the muzzle flash, the weapon either fires exclusively from the left barrel, or fires each shell out of both barrels at once; the former could theoretically be excused as some form of selectable-barrel system (which could be useful for different ammunition loads - say, one barrel choked for slugs, and another for shot), though no such functionality is present in-game.]]
+[[File:TF2 Scattergun Reloading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Reloading"; while this would make some sense if the Scattergun uses a rotary magazine or cylinder (like, say, the [[Armsel Striker]]), as such a weapon would require manual ejection and re-winding after spring-cycling the entire drum/cylinder, this still doesn't explain how the new shells get into the weapon. Also, these shells come out facing backwards for some reason, as they have since 2007.]]
+[[File:TF2 Scattergun Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inspecting the Scattergun; it apparently lacks any sort of locking system to prevent the lever from simply falling open, which would mean that the Scout would have to be manually holding it shut at all times.

As is a firearm doing pretty much anything else spontaneously.]]

-== Dan Wesson PPC .357 ==
+==Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun==
+The Scout's initial unlockable primary weapon is a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]] with sawed-off barrels called the "Force-A-Nature." Compared to the Scattergun, it has a higher rate of fire and fires more pellets per shot, but does slightly less damage per pellet and only holds two shots at a time. Targets hit at close range are knocked back a considerable distance; if the Scout fires it in mid-air, he is knocked back as well, which can be used to give the Scout a third jump.
-The Ambassador, an unlockable Spy weapon, is a stylized version of the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Dan_Wesson_Revolver_DW_PPC_38-357_Mag.jpg Dan Wesson PPC .357 revolver] heavily customized with a decorated barrel and rosewood handle, and is more accurate than the Revolver. However, it deals less damage (unless the player gets a headshot with it, resulting in a devastating critical hit) and is slower.
+The "Soda Popper" is a haphazardly-repaired double-barreled shotgun that is similarly cut down like the Force-A-Nature, with a can of Crit-a-Cola taped under the barrels replacing the forend. The Soda Popper reloads 25% faster than the Force-A-Nature and fires 50% faster than the Scattergun. Equipping the Popper gives the Scout a "Hype" meter, filled by damaging enemies, and if activated when full will allow him to jump five extra times in mid-air until the boost ends.
-In addition to that, the model is missing three things essential to its operation in real life:
+Both the Force-A-Nature and Soda Popper only load two shots, and reloading while one round is left wastes the unfired round. The Soda Popper's shells have radiation hazard symbols on their headstamps.

-*The crane and the ejector rod stay stuck in the frame of the gun when the cylinder out of it, meaning the cylinder's just hovering in mid air with nothing connecting it to the gun itself.
+Released as part of the Love and War Update, the "Back Scatter" appears to be a [[Winchester Model 1887]] with an [[MG15 machine gun|MG15]] style magazine, as well as a sawed-off barrel and stock. 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.
-*Also, to cover up the fact that this model doesn't use a speedloader unlike the regular revolver, they moved the model closer to the screen in what appears to be an attempt to make the cylinder go partially or completely offscreen (it doesn't work at all with the default FOV).

+Released as part of the Pyromania Update, a stylized [[Browning Auto-5]] appears as an unlockable primary weapon for the Scout, referred to in-game as the "Baby Face's Blaster". 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 and the modified Model 1887 above, 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.

+=Soldier=
+==RPG-7==
+The Soldier's primary weapon is the "Rocket Launcher", a heavily stylized [[RPG-7]]. Unlike its single-shot real-life counterpart, the Rocket Launcher can pack four rockets at a time inside the tube, lacks a rear sight, and it has its trigger on the rear grip instead of the front one; it is worth noting, however, that  [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Weapons_concept.jpg concept art] features the correct grip orientation, along with a scope and front sight. The Rocket Launcher, along with the Demoman's "Grenade Launcher", is one of the most damaging weapons in the game: a critical shot from either is usually enough to take out any enemy player in the blast radius. Notably, the game allows for "rocket jumping," a spectacular display of cartoon physics wherein a Soldier shoots towards the ground as he jumps, using the blast from the explosion to propel himself through the air over large distances and obstacles; while ''TF2'' isn't the first game to allow this (it was first seen in ''[[Doom (VG)|Doom]]'', though it really came into its own in the ''Quake'' series), it is perhaps the first to actively encourage it, to the point of even having a musical piece named for the act (the "Rocket Jump Waltz").
-A derringer resembling the [[COP 357 Derringer|COP 357]] was added as a new primary slot unlock for the Scout. Called the Short-Stop in-game, it does more damage at the cost of a smaller capacity. It is the only primary weapon based on a secondary.
+A craftable or purchased variant called the "Rocket Jumper" is a non-damaging primary "weapon" that serves as a practicing tool for rocket jumping. It is equipped with forty spare rounds. Visually, the Rocket Jumper is the default Rocket Launcher but with no iron sights, some of its pre-existing parts recolored orange, a road warning sign depicting a rocket jumping Soldier's silhouette attached to the tube and an orange muzzle piece. The original model of the Rocket Jumper had a mount for its ladder sight (which was missing) and no muzzle attachment nor silhouette sign, but was changed to the current version in a 2016 update. Projectiles fired from this "weapon" do not visually produce a burning trail.

+The unlockable "Direct Hit" resembles the Soldier's original Rocket Launcher but with a fatter body, slimmed-down exhaust tube, and a (cosmetic) targeting scope. The Direct Hit has 30% of the Rocket Launcher's splash radius, but its rockets travel 80% faster (roughly 84 mph).

+==M202 FLASH==
+A single-barreled version of the [[M202 FLASH]] rocket launcher without the scope is an unlockable Soldier weapon called "The Black Box." It restores up to 20 health per rocket fired, but only holds 3 rockets.

-A [[Nagant M1895]] revolver with custom ivory grips and an extended barrel was added during the "Mann-conomy" (Polycount) Update as a new spy weapon. It was created by [http://steamcommunity.com/id/chemicalalia Shaylyn "Chemical Alia" Hamm] for the Polycount Pack contest. It restores the user's cloak charge on hit at the cost of damage. This particular model is notable for being quite realistic (though it apparently has the default reload animation instead of loading from the port).
+==M20A1 "Super Bazooka"==
+The "Liberty Launcher" is an unlockable rocket launcher for the Soldier. Although made as an ambiguous old "[[Bazooka]]" type weapon, it is notably based on the [[M20A1 "Super Bazooka"]] with many elements from the [[M1 "Bazooka"]] and [[RPG-7]]. It holds one extra rocket and its rockets fly 40% faster than the basic Rocket Launcher's but they deal 25% less damage. The bell-shaped shoulder rest section on the Liberty Launcher is no coincidence as it is a nod to the Liberty Bell, even further referencing it by featuring a crack on the wooden portion.

+=="Beggar's Bazooka"==
-[[Image:TF2Nagant.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The Nagant, as seen in the previews]]
+A fictional rocket launcher that was added in the Pyromania Update; the "Beggar's Bazooka" is a makeshift launcher that the Soldier constructed out of assorted salvaged materials. A distinctive feature of this weapon is the ability to fire three rockets in a 'burst mode', dealing devastating damage to all but the strongest enemies. Accidentally loading a fourth rocket will cause an explosion in the launcher, damaging the Soldier and removing one stored rocket. The weapon cannot regain ammunition from friendly Dispensers when held out, and differs from all other rocket launchers in that it features a small degree of random projectile spread

-== Smith & Wesson Model 29 ==
+=="Air Strike"==
+Another fictional primary for the Soldier is the "Air Strike". Visually, it is a rocket launcher which consists of a green body that is shaped after the "Little Boy" atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima during World War II along with the same two handed configuration present on all of Soldier's primary rocket launcher weapons. For each kill achieved with this weapon, the Air Strike's capacity is increased by one rocket up to a maximum of 8 shots and while airborne from a rocket jump, its fire rate is significantly increased but projectiles fired from it deal 15% less damage than the default rocket launcher as well as having a smaller explosion radius. These downsides make the Air Strike a less favorable weapon to use among most Soldier players.
+[[File:TF2 Littleboyatomlauncher.jpg|thumb|none|450px|The "Air Strike".]]
+[[File:TF2 Atombomblauncher.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Source Filmmaker render of the Airstrike. The miniature surface-to-air missile is the model for the projectiles this weapon fires. Its reload animation however, still depicts normal RPG rockets being inserted.]]
-Named "Big Kill", it is a revolver replacement for the Spy. It's a reskin and it has the same stats as the regular revolver (though the animations are those of the Ambassador). The weapon was given to players who bought Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse within the first week of its release. It is based of the titular Sam's sidearm.
+==Mk 2 Hand Grenade==
+The Soldier wears two [[Mk 2 hand grenade]]s strapped to his chest. He uses them as demonstration aids in the ''Meet the Soldier'' promotional video. He only uses them in-game as part of his "kamikaze" taunt: he pulls the pin on one and waits, killing himself and any enemy within a six foot radius. The grenades appear to have an overall black coloration with an orange/yellow band around the body. In another taunt, the Soldier will juggle these grenades and extra ammo for his Rocket Launcher.

+=Pyro=
-[[Image:Weapon thebigkill.png|thumb|400px|none|Sam's sidearm from the Sam & Max adventure game series]]
+==Flamethrower==
+The Pyro's primary weapon is a custom-built flamethrower which appears to be based on a commercial weed-burner rather than a military weapon, although it's quite similar to the [[M1 Flamethrower]] in some ways. It uses a propane tank as a fuel source and a team-colored gasoline pump handle for a trigger assembly. Enemies hit with the flame from the weapon will instantly ignite and take additional damage for approximately three to ten seconds unless extinguished (with the exception of other Pyros, who do not burn). The alternate fire emits a blast of propellant that can extinguish burning teammates (rewarding the Pyro with a small health bonus), bounce enemies, and deflect non-hitscan projectiles (i.e. everything except bullets). There are four (not including reskins) alternate flamethrowers available, the Backburner, the Degreaser, the Phlogistinator, and the Dragon's Fury.
-== Luger P08 ==
+The Backburner is distinguished by a crudely-made team-colored dragon head welded over the muzzle. It always inflicts critical hits from behind (hence the name), but uses 50 ammo per airblast and cannot get random critical hits.
-Called "Lugermorph", it's a secondary weapon for the Scout and the Engineer. It's a reskin of the pistol, and has no unique stats. The weapon was given to players who bought Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse within the first week of its release. It is based off of the titular Max's pistol. Originally, this gun could only be used by the Scout, however with the July 1st, 2010 update, it was made available for use with the Engineer.
+The Degreaser is comprised of a gas pump, car muffler, exhaust pipe, a team-colored fire extinguisher, and stove top burner. When equipped, the Pyro will switch to it 60% faster than the other flamethrowers, though it deals 66% less damage via afterburn and uses 25 ammo for every airblast instead of 20
-[[Image:LugerP08Pistol.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Luger P08 - 9x19mm]]
+The Phlogistinator is a steampunk ray gun. It does not have an airblast, but features a critical boost called "Mmmph", filled by burning enemies. When full, the Pyro can taunt to use the boost, giving guaranteed critical hits until it wears off (as well as invulnerability during the taunt itself), though it cannot get random critical hits
-[[Image:Weapon lugermorph.png|thumb|400px|none|Max's sidearm from the Sam & Max adventure game series]]
-==Baikal MCM==
+The Dragon's Fury is a bulkier flamethrower design with a much longer muzzle, and holds a magazine of only 40 units as opposed to 200. Instead of a cone of flame, it fires a fast-moving medium-range fire blast and has a short repressurization cooldown between uses. A successful hit will cause 50% faster repressurization, and the weapon deals +300% damage against burning targets. Airblast uses only a single ammo unit, as with the fire blast, but causes repressurization to be 50% slower

+[[File:TF2FlameThrowerPromoImage.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Promo image of the Pyro holding the Flame Thrower.]]
-The Spy was shown with a [[Baikal MCM]] in the first Team Fortress 2 trailer, to be used as a Tranquilizer gun like in the previous Team Fortress games. It was replaced with the Revolver by the game's release. The model, though not usable, remains within the game's files.
+==Orion Flare Gun==
+The "Flare Gun" is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is an oversized, elongated flare gun in team colors. It has an overall appearance similar to the [[Orion Flare Gun]] with the latching mechanism of the [[M8 flare pistol]]. Its flared Enemies hit with its projectiles (with the exception of other Pyros) are set on fire, and it inflicts a critical hit on a target that is already on fire. The Flare Gun, including its alternatives fire the entire cartridge inserted into their barrel, implying they chamber caseless flares. [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Flare_Gun#/media/File:Flare_Gun_Concept.jpg Concept art] of the Flare Gun depicts variants of it looking more akin to the M8 flare pistol and [[Webley & Scott Signal Pistols|Webley & Scott series of signal pistols]].
+The Über Update added the "Detonator," a modified version flare gun that allows its user to detonate its projectiles (which have the appearance of a miniature firework) in mid-flight, though it deals 25% less damage than the default flare gun. Targets in the blast radius are set alight just as if they had taken a direct hit. The Pyro wielding it suffers 50% more damage from his own weapons, making premature detonation a serious matter. Skilled Pyros can also use the Detonator to launch themselves into the air in a similar manner to the Soldier and Demoman using their rocket launcher and sticky launcher. Unlike the Flare Gun, the Detonator will only deal mini-crits (a 35% damage bonus) on burning targets. As of the Jungle Inferno Update, all flare guns deal a fixed 7.5 seconds of afterburn to ignited foes.

+=="Scorch Shot"==
-[[Image:Spy_Tranquilizer.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Game model extracted from the game's files.]]
+A third flare gun added as part of the Pyromania Update is the "Scorch Shot." It is overall grey in color with an orange band around the muzzle. In addition to setting enemies on fire, it also knocks them backwards, similar to the effects of the Scout's Force-A-Nature shotgun. The projectiles fired by the Scorch Shot will bounce off whatever they hit, and can injure the Pyro who fired them if they hit him (such as if he fires at a wall directly in front of himself). Taunting with the Scorch Shot will perform his 'execution' taunt, wherein the Pyro stands side-on to wherever he's aiming at the time and draws down with the Scorch Shot, firing a single round. Like other attack taunts in the game, the 'execution' taunt will kill enemies hit by it at close range, while only doing normal damage at a distance (it is also the only taunt attack that consumes ammo; expending one round per taunt). The flares fired by the Scorch Shot will also destroy sticky bombs, just like the Demoman's Scottish Resistance mentioned below. They also deal 35% less damage than the Flare Gun and will do mini-crit damage to burning targets, just like the Detonator.
+[[File:TF2SorchShot.jpg|thumb|400px|none|The Scorch Shot.]]

-== Ithaca 37 ==
+==Incendiary Grenade==
+The Pyro wears three cylindrical grenades strapped to his chest. Given that most of the Pyro's weapons are fire-based, it's reasonable to assume these are supposed to be incendiary grenades; their shape is similar to the [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]]. They have black bodies with an orange/yellow band and spoons.
+[[File:AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|150px|AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade]]
+[[File:TF2PyroNades.JPG|thumb|none|500px|A view of the incendiary grenades on the chest of a BLU Pyro in ''Meet the Soldier'']]
-The [[Ithaca 37]], with sawed-off stock and barrel, is the primary weapon for the Engineer class, and the secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy classes. It is simply referred to as "Shotgun" in the game. Like the Spy, the Engineer is capable enough at close fighting but is not usually found seeking out skirmishes, as his shotgun's main purpose is to defend him while he is setting up his buildings. At close range, the Shotgun will deal great damage, but its damage will fall off noticeably at mid range. The others classes that use the Shotgun as a secondary weapon have highly-damaging primary weapons, and use the Shotgun to finish off injured opponents, or to conserve primary weapon ammo.
+=Demoman=
+=="Grenade Launcher"==
+The Demoman's primary weapon is a grenade launcher that appears to be an amalgamation of several designs. In particular, it has the rotary magazine and break-open reloading of a [[Milkor MGL]] attached to the stock, handguard, and front leaf sight of an [[M79 grenade launcher]]. Despite being modeled with a six-round cylinder, the weapon only holds a maximum of four grenades, due to the fact that it originally held six, but the model was never updated. The launcher fires team-colored grenades that detonate after a few seconds' delay or on impact with an enemy.
+A popular tactic with this weapon is to lob volleys of grenades like mortar rounds at dug-in enemies to soften up their defenses prior to an assault.

+==M79 Grenade Launcher==
-[[Image:Engineer_Shotgun.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Notice that the Shotgun's ejection port is on the left side, not the bottom, but oddly, it ejects to the right in-game...]]
+The "Loch-n-Load" is a craftable or purchased primary weapon for the Demoman. It resembles a double-barreled M79 grenade launcher arranged in an over/under configuration. The weapon only holds three (yes, three) grenades compared to the Grenade Launcher, but grenades deal 20% more damage to buildings only and fly 25% faster, similar to the Direct Hit. However, grenades fired will shatter harmlessly unless hitting an enemy player or building, and have a 25% smaller explosion range on a direct hit. Its double-barreled model was originally due to its former capacity of only two grenades, much like the regular Grenade Launcher displaying six chambers rather than four, but this has been changed as of December 22, 2014.

-== Ithaca 37 (Full length) ==
+=="Stickybomb Launcher"==
+The secondary weapon of the Demoman is a drum-fed grenade launcher known as the "Stickybomb Launcher", resembling a very fat [[Sten]] with the charging handle on the wrong side. It holds up to 8 stickybombs at a time which stick to non-moving surfaces, and are (after a short delay) manually detonated by the player; up to 8 stickybombs can be active at any given time (placing any more will detonate the first ones placed). The range of the weapon can be increased by holding down the fire button, making the bombs fly further when they're finally fired. The Demoman reloads this weapon by ratcheting a charging handle mounted on the left side above the trigger; like the Scout's Scattergun, no new ammo is seen being loaded into the launcher during reloading, though unlike the Scattergun, no empty shells are ever ejected either. Like the Soldier with his Rocket Launcher, the Demoman can "sticky-jump" by jumping just as he detonates a sticky bomb under his feet.
-Dubbed "Frontier Justice". It is the primary unlockable for the Engineer. It has full stock, full barrel length, engravings and a battery chamber on the right side. In game it cannot get random critical hits, instead having "revenge crits" for every kill gotten with a destroyed sentry. Oddly, despite having an extended magazine tube it holds fewer rounds than the regular shotgun (one possible explanation is that it's plugged to meet US duck hunting regulations).
+Two specialized versions of the Sticky Bomb Launcher are also available; the "Scottish Resistance", which has a higher rate of fire, the ability to set more bombs, and the ability to detonate individual bombs by aiming at them (which can also destroy enemy sticky bombs) and the "Sticky Jumper" which fires sticky bombs that do no damage at all and are used solely for executing sticky jumps.

-[[Image:Frontierjustice.PNG|thumb|none|400px|Frontier Justice]]
+The "Iron Bomber" is an alternative primary weapon for the Demoman. Although its visual design is mainly fictitious, the bomber's wooden stock resembles the overall shape of an M79 grenade launcher's stock. The weapon is a four-barreled launcher that loads and fires spherical shaped projectiles which roll less on surfaces and detonate sooner than grenades from the Demoman's default primary launcher. In gameplay, the Iron Bomber's barrels are supposed to rotate in order to ready the next shot, but a bug renders the bomber's barrels fixed to one position.

-== Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun ==
+==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
-Called "The Force-A-Nature", it is an unlockable primary weapon for the Scout. Compared to the Scout's original shotgun, it has a higher rate of fire and fires more pellets per shot, but it does slightly less damage per pellet and only holds two shots at a time. It has the the special ability when fired to knockback opponents at close range, even the Heavy, a considerable distance away and, while in the air, will knockback the shooter as well. When used in conjunction with jumping and firing at the ground, it gives the Scout a third "jump".
+Released alongside the Loch-n-Load, the "Ullapool Caber" is a Mann Co.-branded [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] with black tape around the grip. The Demoman does not throw it (as one would expect a Scot to throw a caber or a sober man to throw a grenade); he swings it as a melee weapon. The first hit with the Caber against an enemy or solid object causes it to detonate, propelling the Demoman into the air and leaving him with a weak melee weapon (if he survives the fall) until he respawns or resupplies.

+==GE M134 Minigun==
+The Heavy's signature weapon is "Sasha" (alternatively called "Sascha" in some official sources; referred to simply as the "Minigun" in-game), a portable minigun based on a [[GE M134 Minigun]] with Dillon Aero flash suppressors and a white 200-round ammunition drum, in a configuration probably based on the feed system used by the [[M61 Vulcan]] mounted on the F/A-18. The Heavy claims that she weighs 150 kilograms (roughly 331 pounds) and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 RPM (substantially faster than she fires in-game). Given a complete M134 Minigun (sans ammunition) only weighs 61 pounds, this implies Sasha fires something much larger than the standard 7.62mm NATO. Heavy has to ready Sasha before she can fire (a process which can be completed ahead of time by holding Mouse 2, which pre-spins the barrels); while her barrels spin, Heavy's movement speed is reduced to 47%. The weapon also has lessened damage and accuracy for a short time after being spun. While powerful up close, the Minigun lacks accuracy and long-range damage; further hampering its potential output is its reduced damage against certain enemies (namely a 15% reduction against level 2 Sentry Guns, a 20% reduction against level 3 Sentry Guns, and a whopping 75% reduction against Tanks in Mann vs. Machine). Curiously, in terms of game mechanics, Sasha functions somewhat like a shotgun; each unit of ammo consumed produces 4 distinct hitscans, suggesting either a stacked, multi-projectile cartridge (which would go some way to explain their exorbitant cost, and "custom-tooled" description) firing at 600 RPM, or simply a somewhat roundabout depiction of standard rounds firing at 2,400 RPM.
-== SMG ==
+"Natascha" is an unlockable primary weapon for Heavy. Natascha has a black ammo drum and an external feeding chute. Hits from Natascha reduce the target's movement speed, but she requires 30% more spin-up time and inflicts 25% less damage. As an additional upside, Natascha gives the Heavy 20% damage resistance when fully spun-up.
-The "SMG" is the secondary weapon for the Sniper class. It seems to be a cartoony amalgamation of several SMG designs: the outline resembles an enlarged [[Mauser C96|Mauser M712]] or [[Walther MP series]], the back sights and bolt resemble those of the [[Thompson|Thompson M1]]. It deals very low damage and is of average accuracy, but its very rapid fire can pile on damage quickly if aimed well. It has a 25-round magazine and the Sniper carries 3 more magazines. Like the other Support and Defense classes, the Sniper isn't meant to go into the front lines with this weapon, but rather, be able to defend himself during medium-range combat, when taking the time to snipe an incoming enemy is an impractical proposition.
+Winning against the Heavy in the crossover poker game ''Poker Night at the Inventory'' unlocks a Minigun called the "Iron Curtain." Heavy claims he made it himself from Soviet iron and mahogany from Alexander II's favorite chair and it displays the hammer and sickle on the drum. The Iron Curtain is a cosmetic reskin of Sasha.

+[[File:TF2 - Minigun Trailer2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|none|The Heavy fires Sasha in ''Trailer 2''. This was before the game's release, showing that this particular weapon is one of the few that did not go through any more design changes.

At full size, the box's markings can be read; the "SUPER CALIBER - CUSTOM TOOLED CARTRIDGES" marking (along with the context) implies this to be a box of ammunition for the minigun; if the drawing is assumed to be accurate, then the rounds are both rimmed and double-tapered (rather like the 8x50mmR Lebel), which would make the feeding mechanism rather...

+==Gatling Gun==
+"The Brass Beast" is another unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy, based on an 1860's [[Gatling Gun]]. It appears to have a Broadwell drum modified with an ammo chain rather than being a gravity-fed drum positioned above the gun and is powered by an electronic motor instead of being cranked by hand. This handheld Gatling Gun deals 25% more damage than Sasha but spinning it up is increased by 50% and the user's movement speed is reduced by 50% when readying to fire, making it more of a stationary defensive weapon. To complement this, the Heavy using it is also given a 20% damage resistance buff while under 50% of his maximum health when the gun's barrels are fully spun up.

-== Remington 700 Sniper Rifle ==
+==Thompson Submachine Gun==
+An enlarged, highly-modified [[M1928A1 Thompson]] called "Tomislav" is an alternate primary weapon for the Heavy. All that remains of the base Tommy gun are its receiver, handguard, and barrel; the feed mechanism and trigger have been altered to resemble Sasha's two-hundred-round drum and chainsaw grip. The Tomislav has a 20% slower rate of fire but is readied 20% faster, has no spin-up sound (except for a quieter jingling sound from the gun's sling) and a bullet spread stat 20% less than the Minigun's. It is the only weapon in the game depicted by default with a fitted sling. Said sling is rigid and does not move with the gun nor its user.

-A [[Remington 700]], with a visible laser sight and cartoonishly large scope (which looks similar to the AN/PVS-2 Starlight scope but without the night-vision abilities), is the primary weapon for the Sniper class. It is called "Sniper Rifle", and in this rendition, its internal magazine only holds one projectile, and the Sniper carries 25 cartridges with him, inserting one every time he pulls the bolt open. Targeting through the scope will charge the projectile and make it hit harder when fired. A max charge of around 4 seconds is enough to take out lower-health classes with a body shot, but large classes like the Heavy will need multiple shots or a clean head shot. The rifle can be fired without looking through the scope, but the damage is the minimum damage the rifle can cause and headshots are not possible in this way. This is the only hitscan weapon in the game (not counting sentries or critical hits) that has no damage falloff (reduced damage over long range).
+=Engineer=
+==Ithaca 37 (Full length)==
+The Engineer's first unlockable primary weapon is a full-length Ithaca 37 with an engraved receiver and team-colored capacitor called "Frontier Justice." Instead of regular critical hits, Frontier Justice earns two "Revenge Crits" for every Sentry kill and one for assists, to a maximum of thirty-five, awarded when the Sentry is destroyed. Despite having an extended magazine tube, it has half the magazine size of the regular shotgun. The Frontier Justice also has an externally exposed hammer.

-[[Image:Sniper_Rifle.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|The visible laser sight will give away your intentions to attentive opponents.]]
+Players who pre-ordered ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]'' earned the "[[Deus_Ex:_Human_Revolution#SRM_Arms_Model_1208|Widowmaker]]" (itself based on the [[SRM Arms Model 1208]]) in "Genuine" quality (an item quality for weapons and cosmetics which is marked in dark green text, often given out as promotional items) as an alternative primary weapon for the Engineer. For other players, it can be obtained in a "Unique" quality via the drop system, trading, or by buying it in the in-game store. Firing the Widowmaker once consumes thirty units of the Engineer's metal and returns one unit for every point of damage dealt. The weapon also deals 10% more damage if fired at an enemy currently being targeted by the owner's sentry gun and has the exact same fire rate as the Engineer's pump-action primary weapons. The shotgun's bolt does reciprocate when fired nor are any spent cartridges ejected.

-== RPG-16 ==
+=="Rescue Ranger"==
+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 some [[Remington 870]] versions, and a straight, 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 user's teammates') 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 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.

-The [[RPG-16]], represented in the game as the "Rocket Launcher", is the primary weapon for the Soldier class. Unlike its single-shot real-life counterpart, the Rocket Launcher can pack four rockets at a time inside the tube. The game allows for 'Rocket Jumping', wherein a Soldier shoots towards the ground as he jumps, using the blast from the explosion to propel himself through the air over large distances and over obstacles. The rockets, along with the Demoman's grenades, are the most damaging weapons in the game, a critical shot from either usually being enough to dismember most any player within the blast radius.
+=="Sentry Gun"==
+The Engineer's signature weapon is an automated "Sentry Gun" that can be upgraded with twin [[M134 Minigun]]s. The missile launcher on the level 3 Sentry appears not to be based on any real model. An unlockable secondary weapon for the Engineer called the "Wrangler" is a remote control that allows him to take manual control of his Sentry Gun to engage enemies outside the Sentry's normal detection range and reduce damage it takes, though it also reduces repairing done.

-[[Image:6h875v5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|right|A Blue Engineer after being insta-gibbed with the Rocket Launcher.]]
+The Sniper's secondary weapon is a submachine gun called the "SMG". It combines the general shape and distinctive front sight of a [[MAT-49]] with the rear sight, magazine, and bolt of an [[M1A1 Thompson]]. It deals very low damage and has average accuracy, but its very rapid fire can pile on damage quickly if aimed well. It has a twenty-five-round magazine, with 75 rounds in reserve. Like the other Support and Defense classes, the Sniper isn't meant to go into the front lines with this weapon, but rather be able to defend himself during medium-range combat when there isn't enough time to snipe an incoming enemy, or to finish off pre-damaged enemies when there's not enough time for a follow-up shot. Early [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Weapons_concept.jpg concept art] shows a weapon more closely resembling the MAT-49, along with the "SMG" that made it into the game.

+==Kimel AP-9==
+Released as part of the Pyromania Update, the "Cleaner's Carbine" is a submachine gun bearing resemblance to the [[Kimel AP-9]] with a silencer, side-folding wire-frame stock, left-hand ejection port, wood grips, and top-mounted charging handle as seen on the [[Uzi]]. It holds five fewer rounds and fires 35% slower than the standard SMG and cannot deliver random critical hits, rather coming with a "Crikey" meter that fills as the Sniper deals damage with the weapon. When full, the Sniper can activate 8 seconds of a mini-crit buff for his equipped weapons.

-A single-barreled version of the [[M202 FLASH]] rocket launcher, without the scope, was added as a new soldier unlock called "The Black Box". Restores health on hit, holds 3 rockets.
+==Remington Model 700==
+The Sniper's primary weapon is, as one would expect, the "Sniper Rifle", which appears to be based on a [[Remington Model 700]] (albeit quite heavily stylized, as with most of the game's weapons) with a visible laser sight and cartoonishly large scope (which looks similar to the AN/PVS-2 Starlight scope, but without the night-vision abilities). It has a 25-round capacity with no reserve; the ''Meet the Sniper'' short portrays the rifle as being single-shot (with the Sniper loading a new round every time he opens the bolt), whereas the in-game animation simply shows the Sniper rotating the bolt up and back down, ejecting a case, and loading in nothing. To discourage quickscoping, a charge meter is built by uninterrupted use of the scope, increasing damage; after 3.3 seconds, the zoom acquires max charge, enough to take out lower-health classes with a single bodyshot and kill even an overhealed Heavy with one headshot. The rifle can be fired without looking through the scope, but it only inflicts minimum damage and cannot deal headshots. Notably, the Sniper Rifle (and its counterparts) are the only hitscan weapons in the game (barring sentries and critical hits) to suffer no damage falloff over distance.

+A bolt-action air rifle based on the default Sniper Rifle called the "Sydney Sleeper" is a purchased alternate primary weapon for the Sniper. It acquires a full charge after 2.8 seconds of zoom, and any enemy target hit when scoped will receive Jarate as well as damage, with the Jarate's duration depending on its charge. The Sydney Sleeper cannot inflict critical hits or headshots, though hitting the target's head will cause a splash of Jarate around them in addition to coating them.

-The Heavy uses 2 hand-held miniguns, the looks of which are based off of [[GE M134 Minigun|M134 miniguns]]. Both are given female Russian names and have [[GE M134 Minigun#Dillon Aero Minigun|Dillon Aero flash suppressors]]. The first, Sasha, is black with a white magazine and internal feed; the second, Natasha, is black, with a black magazine and a belt running from the mag to the chamber. The Heavy claims that Sasha weighs 150kg and fires at 10,000 RPM, but in the game she only spits out 2,400 RPM. Note that for every 1 unit of ammo, the weapon actually fires 4 shots (giving it 2,400 RPM).
+==Walther WA 2000==
+A suppressed [[Walther WA 2000]] known as the "Hitman's Heatmaker" was added in the Pyromania Update. The weapon builds up a "Focus" meter on kills and assists and, once full, charges 25% faster, fires tracer rounds and allows the player to stay scoped after firing. However, it deals 20% less damage on a bodyshot. The weapon also decapitates targets killed with a headshot.

+==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare==
+Introduced as a promotional item for pre-orders of ''[[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]]'', the "AWPer Hand" is a cosmetic reskin of the Sniper Rifle as an [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] fitted with a folded Harris bipod. Its item description references the AW's notoriety in the ''Counter-Strike'' community. Despite using the same animations as the default Sniper Rifle, the bolt never moves, with the Sniper's hand just clipping through it.

+==Heckler & Koch G36==
-[[Image:Sentry_gun.jpg|500px|thumb|none|BLU Level 2 sentry gun.]]
+Introduced as part of the Love and War Update, the "Classic" is a sniper rifle made to resemble a long-barreled [[Heckler & Koch G36]] with an olive-drab handguard, stock, and lower receiver. As per all the Sniper's rifles in the game, the Classic is fitted with a laser pointer, the team-colored beam emitting from the top part of the ZF 3x4° dual sight system when the weapon has a fully-charged shot ready to fire. Unlike the Sniper's other rifles, the Classic can be charged and can deal head shots without having to look through the scope (though the Sniper will move slower as if scoped in), and the Sniper can also fire multiple shots while staying scoped-in. Enemies killed by a charged shot from this weapon will be gibbed and leave a brief cloud of red mist where they were killed, though the rifle also deals 10% less damage on bodyshots. The Classic is a throwback to the Sniper Rifle from ''Team Fortress Classic'', which operated with almost identical mechanics and also heavily resembled a G36. Due to the "Classic" using the same animations as the Sniper's other rifles, he will rack a non-existent right handed bolt after firing.

+==Colt Python==
+The "Revolver" is a [[Colt Python]] with a six-inch barrel and ivory grips, the Spy's primary weapon. It has better-than-average range, and is fairly strong - enough so to kill most lower-health enemies in three shots - though its main purpose is to serve as a backup weapon in case of trouble, rather than as an offensive weapon.

-== 1861 Gatling Gun ==
+==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 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 Russian "Sniper vs. Spy" page claims that the Ambassador is chambered in .50 caliber.
-Called "The Brass Beast", an another unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy, this antique gun made of brass is more powerful than the regular minigun, but it makes the Heavy move slower and has a slower deployment time. It appears to be fitted with a Broadwell Drum, albeit modified with an ammo chain rather than gravity-feeding the gun and it appears to be electric-powered instead of hand-cranked.
+The Ambassador is missing three things essential to real-life operation (L'Etranger shares these oddities):
-[[Image:Gatling_gun_1865.jpg|thumb|none|400px|An 1865 Gatling Gun - .45-70]]
+*The rear of the barrel is blocked (noticeable during the reload animation) as if it was a deactivated gun.
-[[Image:BrassBeast.jpg|thumb|none|400px|none|"The Brass Beast"]]
+*The crane and the ejector rod do not follow the cylinder when it swings out, leaving the cylinder hovering in midair.
+*No cartridges are ejected or loaded during its reload; the cylinder is simply opened and then closed.

+[[File:TF2REVOLVER2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Ambassador in-game.]]
-==Orion Flare Gun==
+==Colt Detective Special==
+The Spy's crafted or purchased "Enforcer" alternative revolver is a stainless [[Colt Detective Special]] with pearl grips. It inflicts 20% more damage than the Colt Python but fires 20% slower than it and does not deal random critical hits in servers with them enabled. The damage bonus doesn't take effect however unless the player is disguised when they fire the shot (though firing while disguised will drop the disguise, requiring the user to constantly disguise to gain the damage increase).
-The "Flare Gun" Is a unlockable for the Pyro, this flare gun is not like a ordinary flare gun if shot at a target it sets it on fire in one shot. the flare gun appears to be an unrealistically big version of a flare gun with a longer barrel.
+The Enforcer's hammer and cylinder do not move when firing. It is the only other revolver in the game that reloads with a visible speedloader, though a bug causes it to share textures with the gun itself. The weapon also lacks a solid top above the cylinder and like the Colt Python, incorrectly has another cylinder release latch, on the right side.

+==Nagant M1895==
-[[Image:The_Tf2_Flare_Gun.jpg|thumb|400px|none|"The Flare Gun"]]
+"L'Etranger," a silver [[Nagant M1895]] revolver with custom engraved ivory grips and an extended barrel, was added during the "Mann-conomy" (Polycount) Update as a new Spy weapon. [http://steamcommunity.com/id/chemicalalia Shaylyn "Chemical Alia" Hamm] created it for the Polycount Pack contest. It restores 15% of the user's cloak charge on hit and extends the cloak duration of any Spy watch by 40%, but does 20% less damage per shot, making it more of a utility tool for the Spy's cloaking ability. L'Etranger, unlike the real life Nagant revolver, uses a six-round cylinder that flips out for reloading, during which no cartridges are ejected nor inserted. It also lacks the loading gate cover.

-==Grenade Launcher==
+==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
+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.

+[[File:TF2BigKill1stPerson.jpg|thumb|500px|none|In 1st person.]]
-The primary weapon of the Demoman is a grenade launcher that appears to be an amalgamation of several grenade launcher designs. In particular, it has the rotary magazine and break-open reloading of a [[DefTech 37mm launcher]] along with the stock, handguard, and front leaf sight of an [[M79 grenade launcher]]. The grenades fired by the launcher are the same color as the team the Demoman firing them is on and will detonate after a few seconds' delay or on impact with an enemy, whichever happens first. A popular tactic with this weapon is to lob volleys of grenades like mortar rounds at dug-in enemies to soften up their defenses prior to an assault.
+==Baikal MCM==
+The first ''Team Fortress 2'' trailer showed the Spy wielding a stainless [[Baikal MCM]] "Tranquilizer Gun." It was replaced with the Revolver by the game's release. The model, though not usable, remains in the game's files.
+[[Image:MCM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Baikal MCM with magazine removed - .22 LR.]]

+==American Derringer Model 1==
-[[Image:TF2DemoNade.JPG|thumb|none|600px|The Demoman's grenade launcher in ''Team Fortress 2'']]
+In the "Expiration Date" animation released to promote the Love and War Update, Miss Pauling can be seen wielding a double-barreled derringer that resembles an [[American Derringer Model 1]], albeit scaled up to the size of a normal handgun. This is thus far the only weapon that has appeared in an official animation that is not playable in the game in any form.

+[[File:TF2PaulingDerringer.JPG|thumb|none|600px|Miss Pauling with her derringer drawn in the "Expiration Date" animation.]]
-==M79 Grenade Launcher==
+==Cannon==
+Featured in the "Drunk Mann's Cannon" taunt (unique animations that the player can summon) is a naval cannon mounted on a cart. This taunt is specific to the Demoman class and in it, he sits and rides on the moving cannon cart until the player cancels the animation or is otherwise interrupted.
+[[File:Naval cannon.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|18th century naval cannon with ramrod and projectile]]
+[[File:TF2 Cannoncart.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|In-game preview of the cannon taunt.]]
-An unlockable primary weapon for the Demoman is a weapon that resembles a double-barreled M79 grenade launcher, known in-game as the "Loch and Load". The barrels are arranged in an over/under configuration as opposed to the side by side arrangement of the barrels on the Scout's shotguns.
+==Concept Art Weapons==
+Various firearms were planned to be included into ''Team Fortress 2'', presumably before Valve took a cartoon approach when developing the game.
+[[File:TF2 ConceptWeapons.jpg|thumb|none|600px|From left to right: sawed-off Ithaca 37, Baikal MCM, [[M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle]] (with extended magazine and barrel), sawed-off double barreled shotgun, [[SIG P210]], Remington Model 700, [[MAC-10]] with suppressor, Pyro's "Flamethrower" (contains features of the M1 Flamethrower), Sniper's "SMG" (partly inspired by the MAT-49), Spy's "Revolver" (stylized Colt Python), RPG-7, M79 grenade launcher, a proper MAT-49 and Heavy's "Minigun" (partly based on M134 Minigun and/or M61 Vulcan).]]
-[[Image:M79-Grenade-Launcher.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M79 grenade launcher - 40mm]]
+==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.
