The Beta Pocket Shotgun is a secondary weapon for the Soldier that was tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta. It uses the Shotgun model.
This weapon deals the same damage as the default Shotgun, however if a Soldier using this weapon is being healed by a Medic, the weapon will deal 20% more damage. If the Soldier isn't being healed by a Medic, the weapon switch time will be 30% longer.
The weapon has been removed from players' backpacks as of the November 9, 2011 Patch (Beta).
