There's a long tradition of brave, kilted men running into battle with naught but a large stick and dangerous amounts of alcohol in their bloodstreams. Now you can keep this glorious custom alive and add a modern twist by attaching explosives to your improvised weaponry!
Ullapool Caber publicity blurb

The Ullapool Caber is a community-made melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a disproportioned World War-era German Model 24 Stielhandgranate "potato masher" grenade, with a white Mann Co. logo stamped on the head and black wrapping tape around the stick.

With this weapon, the first hit on any solid object or enemy (including a disguised Spy) will cause the explosives in the head to detonate, dealing massive explosive damage to both the Demoman and surrounding enemies. The Demoman will be propelled directly upwards by the explosion and will likely suffer fall damage upon landing. This weapon will not explode if struck against an ally or a friendly building.

After the Caber explodes, the Demoman will be left with only the remains of the grenade stick, which deals less damage than other Demoman melee weapons. Respawning or visiting a Resupply locker are the only ways to restore the grenade to its original state.

The kill icons for the Ullapool Caber were contributed by [HoV] Psyke.
