Let's do this Texas style.
The Engineer

The Guitar Smash, also known as Dischord, is a kill taunt that activates upon taunting with the Frontier Justice equipped. The Engineer pulls out his trusty guitar, plays a chord, and then bashes it over the head of any enemy slow, unaware, or unfortunate enough to be in the way, breaking the guitar.

Upon a successful hit, the enemy's head will appear to be pounded into their chest. This Guitar Smash taunt has a long range (128 Hammer Units, past which it has no effect), making it capable of killing an enemy standing on the Engineer's head if he was looking at the enemy at the time the taunt was initiated. The range, however, does not extend below as it will not kill an enemy the Engineer is standing on.

As with most kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.
