Pomson 6000 publicity blurb

The Pomson 6000 is a primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a retro-futuristic ray gun. Many portions of it are team-colored.

The weapon fires an unreflectable blast of energy that consumes no ammunition and is capable of piercing through multiple targets in a straight line, similarly to the Righteous Bison. Though this weapon does not use the tradiotional ammunition reserve used for most weapons, it still must be reloaded. This is done by pumping a slide on the right side of the weapon. The beam deals damage to any enemies that are touching it every 45 milliseconds and can hit the same target repeatedly. Shots from the Pomson 6000 can interfere with the signature abilities of Medics and Spies; if struck, a Medic will lose 10% of his ÜberCharge, while a Spy will lose 20% of his Cloak. The shots' multi-hit ability does not apply for this draining; each shot will drain its target once regardless of how many times it hits. In addition, the shot can also light Huntsman arrows on fire.
