Stab stab stab.
The Sniper

Upon taunting with the Huntsman equipped, the Sniper will remove the prepped arrow from his bow, spin it behind him, and then 'stab it forward fiercely before yanking it back, killing any enemy player slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be in the way.

The initial stab of the arrow itself will stun the victim and pulling the arrow free will inflict the killing blow. As the two are seperate actions, it is possible to succeed with one but fail with the other depending on whether the enemy is within range.

The stun effect of the taunt works on both ÜberCharged enemies and enemies under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch, but will not kill them. Stunning the Medic in this fashion will break the ÜberCharge connection to his buddy.

The Skewer can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates .
