I don't usually kill morons this fast.
The Scout

The Shortstop is a primary weapon for the Scout class. It appears as a four barrelled Pistol.

Although it is modelled after the Pistol, it is placed in the primary slot (ie the slot with Force-A-Nature and the Scattergun).

This weapon functions similar to a Shotgun; instead of firing from a magazine, each chamber fires a single shot and must be reloaded manually. Each shot has a chance of inflicting Slow on the target for a short duration, during which the player can break from the fight or close in to deal more damage.

Trivia

  • The design of the Shortstop is similar to the COP 357 Derringer.
  • A pepperbox pistol or 'pepper gun' is any small handgun or pistol with multiple barrels fixed around a center axis.
  • Taunting with the Shortstop performs the Pistol taunt, not the typical taunt for the Scattergun or Force-A-Nature.
  • Since it is a primary weapon, it is possible to have two pistols equipped (the regular Pistol or the Lugermorph).
  • The Shortstop is the first weapon to have its model derived from that of a weapon used in a different slot.
  • The name is a very obvious reference to a position in the Scout's favorite sport; baseball.
