The Heavy has spared no expense in crafting this historic tribute to the mother land. Forged from Soviet iron and inlaid with the remaindered mahogany from Alexander II's favorite chair, each kill is not only for "pride of team," but for the Republic.
— Official Description

The Iron Curtain is a currently unreleased promotional primary weapon for the Heavy. It appears to be a Minigun made partially out of wood, with identifiable features such as a Communist Hammer and Sickle emblem visible on the ammo casing and a smoking vent on the side. The weapon was supposedly crafted by the Heavy himself.

Based on precedent set by the Lugermorph and the Big Kill, two previously released promotional weapons, the Iron Curtain is most likely an alternate model for the Minigun.

It is awarded to players of Poker Night at the Inventory for defeating the Heavy during a special bonus round.[1]
