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




Pistol

An amalgam of several 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.

In this 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.

Colt Python

The Colt Python, with a 6" barrel and ivory grips, is the primary weapon for the Spy class. It is strong and accurate, and has better-than-average range. The Spy, as the name implies, is a class that rarely seeks direct combat, so this gun doesn't get much use. The Revolver, as it is called in-game, does serve the Spy well in a pinch; should he be spotted, the Revolver is strong enough at close range to take out the lower-health classes with 2 or 3 well-aimed bullets.

Baikal MCM

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.

Ithaca 37

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.

Remington 700 Sniper Rifle

A Remington 700, with a visible laser sight and cartoonishly large scope, 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. 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 headhsots are not possible in this way.

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer

A stylized version of the fully-automatic Mauser C96, the Schnellfeuer, is the secondary weapon for the Sniper class. 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. This machine pistol is named "SMG" in the game.

RPG-16

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.

Multi-Barrel Miniguns

The Heavy uses 2 miniguns, the looks of which are based off of M134 miniguns. Both are given female Russian names. 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.
