Sticky grenade launcher

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Sticky Grenade Launcher is the Demoman's secondary weapon. It launches small bombs that stick to almost any surface, and do not detonate until the player detonates them manually, though they will disappear harmlessly if the Demoman who fired them dies. Up to eight sticky bombs can be placed; the oldest sticky bomb detonates when the player tries to deploy a ninth bomb. A small number display next to the ammo count tells the user how many sticky bombs are currently placed.

The Demoman can also use Sticky bombs to propel himself, similar to the Soldier‎'s abilty to Rocket jump. Sticky bombs immediately stick to whatever surface they are fired upon, but they will bounce off of enemy players, buildings, or gates. Sticky bombs can be moved (but not destroyed) by shooting them, and can be redirected in mid-air by the scout's bat (see: Baseball) or the pyro's compressed air blast. Critical hit sticky bombs can be identified by a glowing aura surrounding them. Eight (critical) Sticky bombs do more damage at one time than any other weapon in TF2. Sticky Bombs have the advantage of never suffering from falloff damage, even hits at long range will still do full damage.

By holding down the fire button, rather than simply clicking it, the grenade launcher can be charged up to launch a Sticky bomb over greater distances. A meter below the ammo count will show how much force is behind the sticky bomb. You can hold this fully charged up shot by holding down the alternate attack key (usually Mouse2), which will prevent the sticky from launching. Once you release Mouse2, the sticky will fire at maximum speed and range.
