Beggar's Bazooka

The Beggar's Bazooka (also known simply as Beggar's) is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is a crude, jerry-rigged rocket launcher made from flanged pipes, mismatched handles (with the back handle being the handle of a flashlight), and a filter held together with bolts, electrical tape, and various straps and belts. A metallic funnel is attached to the end as a makeshift exhaust port and and a bent, metal rod attached at the front serves as a makeshift sight.
The Beggar's Bazooka starts with 0 rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire (default key: MOUSE1), the Soldier begins loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and continues to do so as long as primary fire is held down. While loading rockets or having any rockets loaded, the user cannot switch weapons. Upon releasing, the Soldier fires all stored rockets in quick succession, a firing speed 233% faster than the regular Rocket Launcher, and each rocket is fired with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. However, the rockets have a 20% smaller blast radius and reload slower then the standard Rocket Launcher. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion. If the player attempts to load a fourth rocket, the weapon misfires and causes one of the loaded rockets to explode, heavily damaging the Soldier and any enemies around him. The player can continue to load rockets, producing misfires until the weapon is unloaded. Misfires can be used for powerful rocket jumps, due to the Bazooka's largely damaging explosion occurring very near to the player. If the player has no ammo in reserve, the Soldier still attempts to load rockets and misfires loaded rockets.
While not listed in the description, the time it takes for the Beggar's Bazooka to reload a single rocket and fire is about 33% faster than the stock Rocket Launcher. This is due to the significantly shorter attack interval time.
A Soldier who wishes to collect Beggar's Bazooka ammo from a Dispenser (including Payload carts) must first switch to a different weapon.
The Beggar's Bazooka was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Bugs
- Rockets occasionally hang stationary in the air until a player runs into it.
- Tapping the primary fire button may cause the shot to not play the firing sound.
- If the player keeps holding the primary fire after losing, the Soldier keeps loading, then misfires during Humiliation, potentially killing players of the winning team.
- Taunting after loading a rocket does not release the rockets from the player's weapon clip. Additionally, toggle taunts store the rockets in the same way; they are released if the taunt ends or is cancelled.
Trivia
- The Beggar's Bazooka, along with many other community-created weapons, was teased in the Team Fortress 2 is Free to Play video.
