I feel like every bone in me body's broke!
The Demoman on missing limbs

The Bootlegger is a community-created primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a single pirate's boot and a peg leg that replace the Demoman's standard boots.

This weapon functions identically to the Ali Baba's Wee Booties.

The Bootlegger was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

The backpack icon was contributed by smash.mn .
