You are all weak. You are all bleeders.
The Soldier

The Black Box is a community-made primary weapon for the Soldier. It appears as a rectangular-shaped black Rocket Launcher sporting a couple of fastening bands near the firing end and case coverings hanging open at both ends of the weapon.

On every successful hit with the Black Box the user will gain 15 health points, at the cost holding three rockets per clip rather than four. Reflected Black Box rockets also award this health bonus to a Pyro who reflected them.

Medium range is defined as the main resupply door to the opposite wall on the upper level of ctf_2fort. Long range is defined as battlement to battlement on ctf_2fort. Base damage is the damage done at 512 units before damage variance or bullet spread. Ramp up maxes out at 0 units. Fall off maxes out at 1024 units. Explosive damage varies depending on how it hits a player, the larger the classes hit box and the closer you are to the explosion the more damage you will take, the further away from the explosion the less damage you can take. Explosions do the most damage when they happen at the mid point of a player model, the explosion will cover more of the hit box and thus do the most damage. Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.

HP regen: +15 on hit. Ammo count 3
