Firearms Expert Reacts To Team Fortress 2’s Guns

An interesting part of Pyro using the flare gun as a weapon is that many of their weapons aren't actually weapons. They can equip things such as mailboxes, garden rakes, and fire axes as melee weapons. The flamethrowers are also canonically improvised weapons.

[@Kindrick]

In the original design of The Black Box, it was meant to have 4 barrels, but the game devs couldn't get the rockets to shoot out of different points on the rocket launcher, so they fell back to having it be single barrel instead. They also strangely have it only hold 3 rockets, as opposed to the 4 that it should be able to hold, making it one of the few weapons in the game to hold less ammo than it could in real life.

[@gregorymirabella1423]

wdym? it was a community made item, and all the concept art only has 1 barrel.

Fun fact: a lot of reloads were more realistic early on in the game, fro example the revolvers had a catch and bullets actually were removed and put in. But when the game added cosmetics and this brought server speeds down they had to minimise reloads so that processing could still operate better.
