Firearms Expert Reacts To MORE Team Fortress 2 Guns

In the latest video in the Firearm Expert Reacts series, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the guns of Team Fortress 2 and compares them to their real-life counterparts.

I'd like to point out that at 7:22 he mistakes "unremarkable" as part of the stickybomb launcher's name. The "unremarkable" part is a prefix that indicates that it is a "strange" weapon. A strange weapon is a special variant of an already existing weapon that tracks the amount of kills you get with it, and the weapon's name gains a prefix that changes as you reach certain milestones in the amount of kills you get with it. "Unremarkable" is simply the prefix a weapon gains for reaching the first milestone, for ten kills.

[@Optimore]

In addition to the fact that "The Classic" is so named because it's a visual and mechanical copy of the Team Fortress Classic sniper rifle, there's actually an explanation for why it functions "like a bolt action" despite not being one. It actually wasn't in its home game (just a very slow-firing semiauto, with the ability to switch to an alternate variant to fire full-auto) but in this game there is only one set of sniper rifle animations (bolt action ones- or rather ones pretending to be bolt action, since the sniper doesn't move the bolt *back* or actually insert ammo into his explicitly one-shot weapons) so it became bolt action sort of via neglect.

the "unremarkable" tag on the stickybomb launcher comes for it having a special effect in game. 'strange' weapons as they're called track the number of kills with that specific instance of the gun, with the prefix changing based on different thresholds.

The pocket gun looking so big could also be a reference to Scout being mocked for having small hands. At some point in the "Meet the Team" series that happened, so I always saw it as a reference to that

[@Tumbolisu]

"The Classic" is named that because it's based off of the sniper rifle from Team Fortress Classic. That game had some wild gun designs, but the in-game funcitonality was unique enough that they decided to add it into the second game again.

[@Gencrossbones]

It would be cool if they made it to have a toggle fire to go semi auto and full auto for self defense so the sniper can run any of his secondaries that isn't an SMG but the downside is that he won't be able to do normal sniper rifle stuff and just do minicrits on headshots if he does semi auto fire and can't charge the gun.

Obviously it is not entirely realistic, but for those of you who were curious as to why the Panic Attack is supposed to work, it used to have a gimmick that had the drum mag make sense. Essentially, it used to be a kind of "Bullet Sneeze", where it would ready shots and then fire them all out one after another at rapid speed. I imagine the drum mag was put there not for storage, but for readying rounds one by one, as the Panic Attack used to be completely different as to what it is now, with a gimmick that made it quite unique from other guns.

[@KenGames45]

I think the drum mag on the shotgun simply feeds additional rounds into the mag tube just to extend mag capacity. I can actually see that working after heavily modding a shotgun.
