Bazaar Bargain
“ | Can you believe the Sniper found an old bolt action rifle, a long piece of metal, some bolts, one half of a binocular and a military grade laser sight, ALL for just under three dinars?

The Bazaar Bargain is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a long ornately carved rifle with a small circular sight attached to a long rod, secured with golden straps. It has a curved stock with a golden recoil pad and a laser sight attached under the barrel.
This weapon features a specific bonus attuned to headshots. At the bottom-right of the screen, there is a head counter very similar to the Demoman's Eyelander. Upon spawning, the headshot counter is set to 0. As such, the zoomed charge rate of the weapon is 50% less than that of the Sniper Rifle. Upon the player successfully scoring a headshot kill, the charge rate of the next shot taken will be 25% faster.
Subsequent headshots will increase the charge rate by 25% increments, until the bonus caps out at 6 headshots, at which the weapon will have a 100% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle.
As an added advantage, if the player kills an enemy Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron,or a Soldier wielding the Air Strike, a Sniper wielding the Bazaar Bargain or a Medic wielding the Vita-Saw, the player recives an amount of heads relative to the kills or organs stored by an item, of the enemy player.
This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.

- Equipping any secondary item with a charge meter such as the Jarate or the Cleaner's Carbine will fix this issue.
Trivia
- The Bazaar Bargain is based on the jezail, a type of musket that was commonly used in the Middle East. While the quality and manufacture of such weapons differed widely, a common feature of these weapons lay in their use of rifled barrels and a heavily curved stock, the former of which gave them a great advantage in range and accuracy over the smoothbore firearms that were commonly used up until the mid-19th century.
- A bazaar is a marketplace/street where many different goods are sold, which originates from the Middle East.
