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's art style is a distinctive cartoonish take on Sixties espionage; the designs of the game's weapons are stylized versions of familiar designs.

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 based on the Walther PPK. It lacks power and has only average accuracy, but has good range and is semi-automatic with a very fast reload time for its twelve-round magazine. The light-traveling Scout carries three extra magazines, and the ever-prepared Engineer carries sixteen extra magazines and half of one more.

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 at a distance.

Interestingly, early concept art shows that the Scout was supposed to carry a more unique sidearm based on the SIG P210.

-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 can also be acquired via achievement from the game ''Poker Night at the Inventory''. 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.

 == 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. 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 himself 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 other 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. One of the Soldier's taunts has him firing a gun salute with his Shotgun, though no ammo is expended and it won't damage any enemies that happen to be in front of the muzzle during it.

 == Fictional Double Barreled Shotgun ==
-The Scouts default primary weapon is a rather strange Double Barreled Shotgun, dubbed the "Scattergun". The weapon works on a lever action mechanism, it's magazine is located in a round receiver between the barrels and rear-receiver/stock. If it were a real firearm, it would most likely contain a rotary magazine with a so called "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprocket sprocket]"  at it's center. The latter would be rotated when the lever action is used, moving a new shell into firing position, a pin then ejecting the spent shell once it has been fired. Oddly, the scout never actually loads new shells into the weapon, similarly to the Heavy's minigun.

 == Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun ==
-An unlockable primary weapon for the Scout is a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]] with sawed-off barrels called the "Force-A-Nature". Compared to the Scout's original "Scattergun" 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".

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 "Soda Popper" is a haphazardly-repaired Force-A-Nature with a can of Crit-a-Cola taped under the barrels replacing the foregrip. The Soda Popper reloads 25% faster than the Force-A-Nature and fires 50% faster than the Scattergun, but cannot deliver random critical hits. Equipping the Popper gives the Scout a "Hype" meter, filled by moving and jumping, which gives the Scout eight seconds of mini-crits when full. The Soda Popper must be crafted, gifted, or bought from the in-game store.
+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 the bases.

-A weapon based on the [[RPG-7]], 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 and it has its grip orientation reversed. 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 take out any player within the blast radius.

In addition to having half the ammo capacity of the default Grenade Launcher, the grenades fired by the Loch-n-Load will shatter harmlessly on impact with the ground if they do not hit an enemy target and inflict 25% more damage to the wielder, forcing players using it to be much more precise with their shots.

 == Model 24 Stielhandgranate ==
-The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] appears in the game as an unlockable melee weapon for the Demoman, called the "Ullapool Caber" in-game. The name is a reference to the caber toss; a traditional Scottish sport of hurling massive logs. The weapon is used more as a makeshift club to bludgeon enemies instead of being thrown at them to explode.
+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), 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.

Note that for every 1 unit of ammo, the weapon actually fires 4 shots (giving it 2,400 RPM). Both miniguns hold a maximum of 200 rounds. Winning against the Heavy in the crossover poker game ''Poker Night at the Inventory'' unlocks a Minigun called the "Iron Kurtain", though it functions the same as the default Minigun.
+The Heavy's signature weapon is "Sasha," a portable minigun based on a [[GE M134 Minigun]] with Dillon Aero flash suppressors and a white two-hundred-round ammunition drum. Heavy claims that she weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 RPM (in-game, she fires at 2,400 RPM).

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).

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.
