Trivia

  • Although Pyros are resistant to afterburn (with the exception of being soaked by the Gas Passer), they can be mini-crit by the Postal Pummeler if the hit connects before resistance takes effect.
  • An early version of this weapon featured a painted on face, and a small handle under the head of the mailbox [1].
