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)

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.
 
:I confirm it has 100 health. At least, that's what communityhud says, as it shows the numerical health of players and buildings you look at. However, the Wrangler does increase the Sentry's fire rate; you should test with it on and off.
 
::What I mean by odd discrepancies was that I assumed that the Mini-Sentry didn't, for example, triple its fire rate instead of double with the Wrangler in use.
