Certain weapons in Team Fortress 2 fire projectiles. Projectiles, unlike hitscan bullets, don't travel instantaneously--instead they travel at a set speed. (This speed differs depending on the weapon used to launch the projectile.)

Reflecting Projectiles

  • The Pyro's Compression Blast can reflect projectiles. These 'airblasted' projectiles inflict mini-crit damage and assume the Pyro's team colour to indicate a successful reflection. There are, however, exceptions. Syringes cannot be reflected, stickies do not change colour or attain mini-crit status, and a mini-crit Jarate is no different than a normal Jarate.
  • The Heavy can reflect grenades if he punches them with the KGB. This is difficult to pull off as grenades are a small target and requires very accurate timing.
  • The Scout's Sandman Ball can reflect other Sandman Balls if it makes contact while in the air.
