Get your thinking pants on, because the Scottish Resistance is the thinking Demoman's sticky bomb launcher.
WAR! Update blurb

The Scottish Resistance, often abbreviated to SR or ScoRes, is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Demoman. Similar in appearance to the Stickybomb Launcher, it features warning colors on the magazine and a sensor camera taped onto the barrel. The Mann Co. logo is present on the sensor, albeit partially covered in duct tape. Additionally, the stickybombs fired are of a heavier-looking variety with larger, blunted spikes.

Unlike the normal Stickybomb Launcher, the Scottish Resistance allows for selective detonation of laid bombs. Only those within a certain angle of the player's crosshair will explode when secondary fire is pressed. Players can therefore detonate traps in set areas and from behind walls and solid objects. Bombs that can be detonated are discernible by their team color glow, or white glow as seen through walls. The number of explodable bombs within sight can be expanded if the player moves backwards, effectively encompassing the Stickybombs in the crosshair radius. This unique function allows several sticky traps to be laid in various locations, but will require the Demoman to keep watch of these areas to know when to spring the trap.

Additionally, the weapon is able to fire bombs at a faster rate, and can deploy six additional bombs for a total of 14 out at any time. The bombs, however, will take longer to prime, preventing players from firing and detonating stickies in the air at enemies effectively. The stickies also have the unique ability to destroy bombs laid by enemy Demomen. The speed that the bombs fly at is identical to that of the Stickybomb Launcher.

The Scottish Resistance is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 Demoman achievements.

Trivia

  • The Scottish Resistance was originally planned to deploy 16 Sticky bombs as opposed to the current 14.
  • While taunting with the Scottish Resistance, the crosshair will remain aimed at the original location, allowing the player to still detonate Sticky bombs placed in front of them, even if the camera view is moved.
  • The Sticky Jumper's projectile is a bomb model added during the WAR! Update, intended for the Scottish Resistance, that remained unused until the September 15, 2011 Patch.
  • The alternative Scottish Resistance models can be seen in Gullywash.
