I say we merge the two. No need having 2 articles on basically the same thing. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 10:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

:Agreed (and obviously already done by somebody), there isn't enough to say about them for a extra articel.

:However we should create a few redirects, at least [[Combat Mini-Sentry Gun]], maybe also [[mini sentry]] and similar stuff. I'll do it in the evening if nobody has by then. --[[User:CruelCow|CruelCow]] 12:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Mini-Sentry Health ==
 
 
 
Just how much health does the mini-sentry actually have? It dies to one Huntsman arrow, so definitely not more than 120. [[User:The Neotank|The Neotank]] 12:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Moving stuff ==
 
''It appears that after the Engineer Update is released, players will be able to pick up and move their sentries around locations in a map. The Sentry retains its level after being transported in the Toolbox. It is unknown if there will be a downside to moving your Sentry.''
 
I haven't got a chance yet to play with it, but it appears to me there are no downsides beside a reduced walkspeed? Somebody with more knowledge please rewrite it <nowiki></nowiki>--[[User:CruelCow|CruelCow]] 12:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:The sentry also has to rebuild from level 1. So if you move a level 3 sentry it has to build to level one, then level two then upgrade to level three. It's faster than a complete rebuild, but it takes the sentry out of action for a while. Worth timing the difference and finding out if it's worth moving, but walking slowly to the new place or destroying and walking faster but having a slower rebuild. There must be a distance that would be more advantagous to walk faster to, but build slower. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 12:49, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

== Mini-Sentry stats ==
 
 
 
I did some testing earlier, and a few things on the page are just plain wrong.
 
First of all, it does not have 150 health, on a server where the damage dealt by it was 8 with every shot (probably no damage spread on) it took 13 shots to kill another mini-sentry, that's 104 damage, and so it's reasonable to assume it has 100 health, not 104.
 
It has a greater fire rate than a level 1 Sentry, by my count (not with a timer, just in my head) it fired roughly 50% more bullets in a second than a level 1 Sentry; this means that while it does half damage per bullet, it has 3/4 the DPS of a level 1 Sentry. - Note that these tests were done with the Wrangler, so I'm just assuming there is no odd discrepancy between non-wrangled and wrangled versions of the Mini-Sentry.
