Pistol

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Pistol is the secondary weapon for the Scout and Engineer classes. Its accuracy, while not exceptional, is superior to that of the Scattergun or Shotgun. It is useful for hitting targets at medium or long range or as a last ditch effort when the primary weapon is out of ammunition. The Pistol is very useful for destroying sticky bombs and taking out unsupervised sentry guns from outside of their range. The pistol suffers from medium damage falloff, despite being a single-projectile weapon. However, when fired at maximum speed, this weapon is formidable in the hands of an experienced player.

Trivia

• The model for the weapon bears a striking resemblance to the real life Walther PPK handgun. However, since all the weapons in Team Fortress 2 are artistically stylized, it is impossible to figure out exactly where the developer got their inspiration from.

• Neither the hammer nor slide on the pistol model move when the gun is fired.
