Team Fortress 2

Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a multiplayer first-person shooter created by Valve running on the Source engine as the sequel to Team Fortress Classic. 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 less-than-serious tone, colorful characters, and lazy, if hilarious, animations.
Development of Team Fortress 2 initially aimed to give it a more serious, militaristic theme, but it eventually evolved into its current art style, 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 in by Valve instead of being made by Valve themselves. The game's lore has been expanded through officially released animations, comics, and events. It has established that TF2 takes place in the late 1960s, with its prequel in the 1930s (creating many anachronisms), and many absurdities such as Abraham Lincoln inventing stairs to replace the need to jump explosively via rocket launchers.
The servers for Team Fortress 2 are still maintained by Valve for PC and Xbox 360, although the latter has only received a small handful of patches since release, while the PlayStation 3's servers were run by EA (which had received even less patches than on Xbox) until March of 2023. Today, the PC version is mainly updated with bug fixes and content additions of cosmetics and maps only.
=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, grips, and the S&W's trigger guard. It lacks power and has only average accuracy but possesses good range and a very fast reload time for its 12-round magazine; therefore, it is best 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 for a total of 200 reserve ammunition. 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.

==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. The handgun's model (which has no moving parts) was taken wholesale from the Sam and Max games, so it does not eject spent casings and the slide does not move. The magazine is also fixed to the model, remaining static during the reloading and inspecting animations.
==Ithaca 37==
A sawed-off Ithaca 37, holding 6 shotshells (in its 4-round tube) and generically referred to as the "Shotgun", is the Engineer's primary weapon and the secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy. All classes capable of using the Shotgun carry 32 spare shells, each of which contains 10 pellets. At close range, the shotgun deals high damage, but a combination of damage fall-off and the shotgun's pellet spread limit its damage at 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 bolt of the shotgun only moves when the Engineer cycles the action, 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.
==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 and has a thinner barrel and magazine tube in comparison to the game's other shotguns. 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 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.
==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 6 shotshells like the stock Ithaca 37. The Panic Attack used to act similarly to the Soldier's "Beggar's Bazooka" launcher; upon holding down the firing key, the shotgun's user would load in up to 4 shells, with releasing triggering the shotgun to fire off the loaded rounds in quick succession. Each round was inserted 50% (33% when first added to the game) faster than with the Ithaca and its firing/cycling speed increased as its user's health got lower with accuracy also decreasing. However, in 2017, the M1897's stats were altered it to have it function like the game's other pump-action shotguns. 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 that are fired too quickly.
=Scout=
==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. 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).
==Beretta 3032 Tomcat==
The "Winger" resembles a stylized Beretta 3032 Tomcat with a squared back-end (lacking an external hammer) and Smith & Wesson 61 Escort-like trigger guard. This pistol is adorned with a radiation hazard symbol on the grips and a set of yellow wings imprinted at the rear of the slide. The Winger is an alternative secondary weapon for Scout, which inflicts 15% more damage per shot than the default "Pistol", but only holds 5 rounds in its magazine. Drawing the Beretta 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, claiming 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 gave it a 15% firing speed bonus) and now holds only 9 rounds in the magazine with the ability to heal the Scout for up to 3 health per hit. Because all in-game weapons can be fired for as long as its user holds down the fire button, the increased firing speed properties of the in-game Colt appears to fire like a fully-automatic pistol.
=="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.
Some early 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.
==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" in reference to one of his lines in the promotional video "Meet the Scout". 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 (unsurprisingly) 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 user an ersatz third jump.
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 a majority of the handguard. Shells loaded into this shotgun have a unique model, which bear radiation hazard symbols on their headstamps. Stat-wise, the Soda Popper reloads 25% faster than the Force-A-Nature and fires 50% faster than the Scattergun. Equipping the Soda 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.
With both the Force-A-Nature and Soda Popper, reloading with only one barrel fired will waste the unspent shell. Both shotguns are also modelled with a single trigger.	 	
==Winchester Model 1887==
Released as part of the Love and War Update, a stylized Winchester Model 1887 with an MG15-style magazine appears as the "Back Scatter". The shotgun itself is in a sawed-off configuration. The "Back Scatter" works similarly to the Pyro's "Backburner" flamethrower, dealing 35% more damage (via the "Mini-crit" damage multiplier) if the enemy is shot from behind. Enemies shot from behind within roughly thirty feet suffer this damage bonus, though the weapon cannot inflict random critical hits and is 20% 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.
thumb|none|500px|A render of the "Back Scatter".
==Browning Auto-5==
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", with the name inspired by the infamous gangster nicknamed "Baby-Face Nelson". The weapon is modelled with a lever-action loop, an 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 the 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. However, boost is very easily lost just by double-jumping or by taking small amounts of damage.
Before the current stat revision of the weapon, the Blaster in-game used to have increased accuracy and an unrealistic 6-round capacity, but a reduced damage output and harsher penalties to its user's movement speed (especially with built-up boost when jumping). This was likely changed for balancing reasons.
As with Scout's default Scattergun and the Model 1887 above, the reload animation for this weapon involves its user simply cycling the gun's lever a required 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 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, 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"). 
An obtainable (either by crafting, purchase, trade, or drop) variant called the "Rocket Jumper" is a non-damaging primary "weapon" that serves as a practicing tool for rocket jumping. It is equipped with 40 spare rounds. Visually, the Rocket Jumper is the default Rocket Launcher but with no iron sights, some of its pre-existing parts recolored orange, and the addition of an orange muzzle extension and a road warning-style sign (which depicts the silhouette of a rocket-jumping Soldier) attached to the side. The original model of the Rocket Jumper had a mount for its ladder sight (which itself was missing) and an orange-painted muzzle, but was made more visually distinct when it was changed to the current version in a 2016 update. Visually, projectiles fired from the Rocket Jumper do not produce a burning trail.
The unlockable "Direct Hit" slightly resembles a stylized RPG-7, but features a fatter body with a 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) and are more damaging to the point where it can kill any light class with a single shot at very close range.
==M202 FLASH==
A single-barreled version of the M202 FLASH rocket launcher without the scope is an unlockable Soldier weapon called "Black Box". It restores up to 20 health per rocket fired, but only holds 3 rockets. Like with the RPG, the modified M202's rockets are stuffed through its muzzle consecutively. Concept art shows that the Black Box was intended to have a scope on the model (unusable like the one on the Direct Hit), but that detail was removed from the final model. 
Like the default Rocket Launcher, the Black Box has an Australium variant.

==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 its wooden shell.
thumb|none|450px|In-game model of the "Liberty Launcher".
=="Beggar's Bazooka"==
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
=="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.
==Mk 2 Hand Grenade==
The Soldier wears two Mk 2 hand grenades 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 one from his chest and uppercut swings the hand gripping it, 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 but with four bumps per column on its shell like the Mk 1 instead of the Mk 2's five. In another taunt, the Soldier will juggle these grenades and extra ammo for his Rocket Launcher. A cut "Frag Grenade" weapon is also based on the Mk 2 and is the most detailed model of this grenade. A third rendition of the Mk 2 appear inside the "Upgrade Station" kiosk in the "Mann vs. Machine" game mode, with six visible on a shelf. None of these grenade models have a pin attached.
thumb|none|600px|The Soldier with his hand grenades in Meet the Soldier.
==M26 Hand Granade==
The "Stealth Bomber" cosmetic replaces the Soldier's Mk 2 hand grenades with M26 hand grenades. They retain the yellow/orange band around the body, and the Soldier will still use them during the "Kamikaze" taunt.
=Pyro=
=="Flame Thrower"==
The Pyro's primary weapon simply named the "Flame Thrower" is a custom-built flamethrower which appears to be based on a commercial weed-burner rather than a military weapon, although it has features 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 4 damage per half-second for approximately 3-10 seconds unless extinguished. Other Pyro players are immune to being engulfed in flames, though they still take damage via active bursts from an enemy's flamethrower.
The alternative fire attack on the Pyro's flamethrower emits a blast of propellant (which is inexplicably unaffected by the weapon's pilot light) that can extinguish burning teammates (rewarding the Pyro with a small health bonus), push back enemies, and deflect non-hitscan projectiles (i.e. everything except bullets). There are four (not including reskins) alternate flamethrowers available; the "Backburner", "Degreaser", "Phlogistinator", and "Dragon's Fury". With the exception of the Dragon's Fury, all of the Pyro's primary weapons are fed by fuel which is carried in 200 units max at a time by its user, and continuously depletes the longer its user holds down the fire button. 20 units of fuel is depleted per blast of air with the default Flamethrower.
The "Backburner" is visually identical to the stock Flame Thrower, but 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 fuel units per air blast and is incapable of attacking with random critical hits.
==="Degreaser"===
The "Degreaser" is an alternative flamethrower for the Pyro. While it has a different appearance, it features the same layout as the Flame Thrower, this time being built out of comprised of a gas pump (for the grip/trigger assembly), car muffler, exhaust pipe, stove top burner (presumably as the ignition), and strangely for its fuel source, a fire extinguisher. When equipped, the Pyro will switch to it 60% faster than the other flamethrowers, though it deals a measly 1 damage of "afterburn" and uses an additional 5 units of fuel for every air blast.
==="Dragon's Fury"===
The "Dragon's Fury" is a bulkier flamethrower design with a much longer muzzle, and holds a maximum supply of only 40 fuel units as opposed to the other primary weapons' 200. Instead of a continuous cone of fire, it launches a fast-moving medium-range fire blast and has a short cooldown (labelled as repressurization in-game) between shots, essentially making it a semi-auto weapon. A successful hit will cause speed up the cooldown interval after the hitting shot by 50%, and the weapon deals +300% damage against burning targets. Air blasting consumes 5 fuel unit, and also has a delay between blasts, but the repressurization interval is 50% slower.
==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.
thumb|none|500px|A view of the incendiary grenades on the chest of a BLU Pyro in Meet the Soldier.
=="Nostromo Napalmer"==
Added into the game in 2014 as part of a promotion for Alien: Isolation, the "Nostromo Napalmer" is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It is based on the flamethrower from that game, which in turn is based on the custom flamethrower from Alien. However, the Team Fortress 2 version of this flamethrower is not an exact replica; in order to reuse pre-existing animations for the Pyro's primaries, some of the weapon's features were altered such as some components being repositioned, and the removal of the vertical foregrip and pistol grip. As with most of TF2's promotional weapons, the Nostromo Napalmer is only a reskin, and is statistically identical to Pyro's stock flamethrower. Unsurprisingly, this flamethrower does not spray napalm despite this being suggested by its name.
Also included in the promotion for Alien: Isolation are some cosmetic items: a full xenomorph costume set for the Scout class (which can normally only be donned during October or full moons) and the helmet from the Mk.50 suit in Alien for the Pyro. Equipping both the helmet and Alien flamethrower will grant the player a 3x damage bonus to their flamethrower against Scouts dressed as a xenomorph. 
==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 part of the latching mechanism from an M8 Flare Pistol. 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 breech, implying they load caseless flares (while somehow sitting still in the gun's chamber). Concept art of the Flare Gun depicts variants of it looking more akin to the M8 flare pistol and the Webley & Scott Signal Pistols.
The Über Update added the "Detonator", a visually different weapon which still partly resembles the Orion Flare Gun, but features a straighter barrel, redesigned handguard, extended hinge. The Detonator's model also draws more inspiration from the M8 Flare Pistol as evidenced by its frame shape, trigger guard, and entire latching assembly. Stats-wise, the Detonator 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 self-inflicted flare damage, 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's explosive-jumping abilities. 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.
=="Phlogistinator"==
The "Phlogistinator" is a stylized steampunk-style ray gun, being based on a steampunk blunderbuss prop by New Zealand-based prop company Wētā Workshop. In-game, the Phlogistinator features a critical boost bar called "Mmmph", which is filled by dealing any type of fire damage towards enemies. When full, the Pyro can taunt to use the boost, giving guaranteed critical hits with the weapon until it wears off (as well as invulnerability during the taunt itself). However, it cannot gain random critical hits nor can it cannot propel a blast of air. 
=="Scorch Shot"==
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.
=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 a rotary 6-round cylinder like the Milkor MGL attached to a break-action frame with the stock, handguard, and front leaf sight of an M79 grenade launcher. Despite being modeled with a 6-round cylinder, the weapon can only hold 4 grenades at a time, due to the fact that it originally held 6, but its in-game stats were re-balanced with model never being updated. Only in the PlayStation 3 version of the game did the Grenade Launcher officially hold the full 6 rounds. This launcher is depicted as firing team-colored seemingly caseless grenades that detonate after harmlessly tumbling on a surface before exploding on a timer, or on direct hit with either an enemy or Engineer's building. 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. When reloading, the Demoman will strangely insert each individual grenade into the same bottom-left chamber, due to the cylinder not being rotated.
==M79 Grenade Launcher==
The "Loch-n-Load" is an alternative 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, similarly to the Direct Hit. However, any grenades that miss will shatter harmlessly, 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.
=="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, that appear in the form of spherical-shaped explosives covered in spikes, which presumably enable them to 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 following a delay in "charging" the shots. 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.
Two specialized versions of the Stickybomb Launcher are also available; the "Scottish Resistance", which has a higher rate of fire, the ability to set more bombs, the ability to detonate individual bombs by aiming at them (which can also destroy enemy sticky bombs), but a longer delay in arming the bombs, and the "Sticky Jumper" which fires sticky bombs that do no damage at all and are used solely for executing sticky jumps. Both variants use the default Stickybomb Launcher's model, with some modifications.

=="Iron Bomber"==
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.
==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
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/surface 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. If paired with one of Demoman's charge shields which grant him a critical melee strike, the Stielhandgranate can be used to blow up any class at full health.
=Heavy=
==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.
"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.
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.

This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from Predator; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO
[[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. It even stayed largely the same throughout the concept art phase, though some pieces depict it without the flash hider. On a sidenote, it also appears to be ejecting shotgun shells from thin air.]]
==Gatling Gun== 
"The Brass Beast" is another unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy, based on an 1860s 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.
==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 receiver though has an M1/M1A1-style side-charging handle on the left side, and a right-handed ejection port. 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.
=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.
thumb|none|500px|The "Frontier Justice".
==SRM Arms Model 1208==
Players who pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution earned the "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. In third-person view, the Engineer's right hand clips through the Model 1208's grip due to the game reusing handling animations for the Engineer's differently-shaped shotguns.
=="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.
=="Sentry Gun"==
The Engineer's signature weapon is an automated "Sentry Gun" that can be upgraded with twin M134 Miniguns once it reaches "Level 2". Upon upgrading to "Level 3", the Sentry Gun will arm a quad-barreled rocket launcher, which appears not to be based on any real model. Its projectiles however slightly resemble the warhead from an RPG-2's rocket. 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.

=Sniper=
=="SMG"==
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 beyond the first shot fired, but its very rapid fire rate can pile on damage quickly if aimed well. It has a 25-round magazine, with 75 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 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 suppressor, side-folding wire-frame stock, left-hand ejection port, wood grips, and top-mounted charging handle which reciprocates when fired. This weapon's magazine holds a paltry 20 rounds, 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 35% "mini-crit" buff for any his equipped weapons. 
==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 lifting the bolt handle up and back down, somehow opening the bolt and ejecting a case, while also loading in nothing, however, the third-person animation simply depicts the extra steps of pulling back and pushing forward the bolt. 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 other firearms boosted by critical damage) to suffer no damage falloff over distance.
A bolt-action air-powered dart rifle based vaguely on the default Sniper Rifle/Remington 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 be coated in the Sniper's urine (a comical and temporary debuff referred to in-game as "Jarate", where the victim receives 35% more of incoming damage), with the duration of the target's urine-soaked debuff depending on its charge. The Sydney Sleeper cannot inflict critical headshots, though hitting the target's head will deal a 35% "mini-crit" bonus.
==Jezail Musket==
One of Sniper's alternative primary weapons, called the "Bazaar Bargain" is based on a modified Jezail musket. It appears to have been converted into a breech-loading, cartridge-chambering bolt-action rifle given the bolt handle and case ejection. However, the gun's receiver lacks an actual port to allow said casings to be ejected and new rounds to be loaded. This Jezail also includes attachments such as an underbarrel laser pointer and a WW1 Galilean-style optical sight, which both make up the rifle's "scope" mechanic. The Jezail's stats adds a 50% longer shot charge duration, but every headshot kill decreases the charge by 25% up to a maximum of 200%, making it deadly with more experienced players. Despite a bug patch that fixed a similar issue, the cartridge-converted Jezail's spent casings are still ejected somewhat far from the rifle's action.
=="Hitman's Heatmaker"==
Another alternative primary weapon for the Sniper, named the "Hitman's Heatmaker" and added in the Pyromania Update shares some features of the Walther WA 2000. The in-game weapon's differences include a non-bullpup configuration, angled grip, and a bolt-action for a seemingly single-shot operation instead of the semi-automatic magazine-fed design of the actual WA 2000. On kills and assists, the Hitman's Heatmaker builds up a "Focus" meter and, once activated, charges damage while scoped 25% faster, fires tracer rounds, and does not unscope the player's view between shots firing. However, it deals 20% less damage on a bodyshot, leaving it unable to one-shot the lightest of classes with their standard maximum health stat. This 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. Players can still obtain this reskin by crafting a random primary weapon for Sniper. The AWPer Hand's item description references the AW's notoriety in the Counter-Strike community. As it is a reskin of the standard Sniper Rifle, the AW shares its animations, including its cycling process, where its bolt is never moved. The in-game "AWPer Hand" name continues the error of incorrectly referring to the Counter-Strike series' Accuracy International rifle as the police version.
==Heckler & Koch G36==
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 begins charging a shot. Unlike the Sniper's other rifles, the Classic can be charged and can deal head shots without having to look through the scope (though when charging a shot, the Sniper's movement speed is reduced similarly when scoped in with other rifles), and the Sniper can also fire multiple shots while staying scoped-in, but it deals 10% less damage. Enemies killed by a charged shot from this weapon will be gibbed and leave a brief cloud of red mist where they were killed. Despite the G36 being an automatic rifle, the in-game version fires about as slow as Sniper's other primary weapons, and reuses the same animations for them, where its user will rack a non-existent right-handed bolt after firing (in the case of the G36).
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.
=Spy=
==Colt Python==
The Spy's firepower option is the "Revolver", modelled after a stylized Colt Python with a 6" barrel and ivory grips. Although in-game it is the first weapon in his inventory, his revolvers are internally classed as secondary weapons. It has better-than-average range, and is fairly strong; enough so to kill most lower-health enemies in three shots. However, like the Scout and Engineer's pistols, later shots fired too quickly by the Spy will have increased spread until the shooter stops firing for 1.25 seconds. The Spy's Python is also intended to serve as a backup weapon in case of trouble, rather than as an offensive weapon. The Medic uses Spy's Python in the unreleased version of Meet The Medic to try to end the agony of BLU Spy's severed head, failing in the attempt.
For a brief time, a "festive" variant of the Python was released as a special limited (but cosmetic) weapon that replaces the ivory grips of the gun with wooden ones (much like in pre-release content and concept art).
==Dan Wesson PPC==
The Spy's unlockable "Ambassador" is a stylized Dan Wesson PPC .357 revolver heavily customized with rosewood grips with a Taurus Raging Bull-style barrel and front sight shape. Engravings on the barrel depict the Scout's mother. The Ambassador's large size implies that it is chambered for a cartridge larger than .44 Magnum. Added during the "Sniper vs. Spy" page update, the release page for the weapon claims that the Ambassador weighs a whopping 8lbs (the French translation however states that it weighs 3kg/6.6lbs); The Taurus Raging Bull weighs up to 5lbs. The Ambassador is missing three things essential to a revolver's operation, which are exposed by its reload animation: the barrel's rear is blocked, the crane/ejector rod assembly do not follow the cylinder when swung out (as with the Colt Python), and the cartridges in the revolver are never ejected but remain stuck in its chambers. Despite its physically imposing appearance, the Ambassador in-game, 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 which then gradually resizes 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 counter-balanced with a range penalty, removing the critical hit bonus after a certain distance. When initially added to the game, the Ambassador was viewed as an overpowered weapon, which led to a number of balance changes by Valve which has now rendered it effectively inferior to the Python, and only a viable sidearm to Spy players with experienced aiming.
Like with the Python, a "festive" variant of the Ambassador, with its visual changes including an alternative barrel engraving amd blacker finish which makes the revolver resemble a regular Dan Wesson PPC.
==Colt Detective Special==
The Spy's alternative "Enforcer" revolver is a stainless Colt Detective Special with pearl grips. It inflicts 20% more damage than the Colt Python but fires 20% slower 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 Enforcer's hammer and cylinder do not move when firing, as a result of its in-game model (excluding the cylinder) being a single piece. The gun's frame also lacks a solid top above the cylinder and like the Colt Python, incorrectly has another cylinder release latch, on the right side. On another note, the in-game Detective Special is the only other revolver that is actually reloaded with new cartridges, albeit with cases leftover in the cylinder simply disappearing at the start of the reload animation.
==Nagant M1895==
"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. 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 6-round cylinder that flips out for reloading, during which no cartridges are ejected nor inserted. While a civilian variant of the Nagant, the 1910 model featured a swing-out crane/cylinder assembly (that pivoted to the right unlike a majority of conventional revolvers), L'Etranger is clearly modelled after a gate-loading M1895. However, this loading gate is omitted on the revolver's in-game model for unknown reasons.
==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.
==Baikal MCM==
The first Team Fortress 2 trailer showed the Spy wielding a stainless MCM pistol, seemingly mocked up into a single-shot "Tranquilizer Gun". Presumably, this weapon would've been the successor to the dart-firing Glock 17 from Team Fortress Classic, which gave victims a temporary speed and sensitivity debuff. Its was eventually replaced by the Colt Python prior to release. The model, though not usable, remains in the game's files.
=Other=
==American Derringer Model 1==
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.

==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.

==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. 
==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 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.
