This article is about the stock secondary weapon shared by the Scout and Engineer. For other pistols, see Pistol (disambiguation).

— The Scout

”

The Pistol is the default secondary weapon for the Scout and Engineer. It is a stylized semi-automatic pistol with a hair trigger that fires bullets from a magazine.

The Pistol boasts only a small amount of damage per hit, however, its high rate of fire makes its overall damage output relatively substantial if multiple consecutive shots are landed. In addition, its accuracy, while not entirely exceptional, is superior to that of the Scattergun or Shotgun. This makes it useful for fights that take place outside of the primary weapon's effective range, to finish off retreating targets, or as a backup weapon when the primary weapon is out of ammunition. The accuracy also makes it ideal for destroying Stickybombs and taking out unsupervised Sentry Guns outside their firing range.

The Pistol operates similarly when used by both classes, however, the Scout is able to reload his Pistol slightly faster than the Engineer, whilst the Engineer carries substantially more ammunition to the point where running out of bullets is simply not a concern.

Like the SMG and the Revolver, the Pistol fires a single, perfectly accurate shot before "bullet spread" takes effect. Waiting 1.25 seconds resets the accuracy, allowing the player to fire another perfectly accurate shot.

Trivia

The Pistol is a left-handed model (as shown by the ejection port being visible on the left-hand side of the gun), despite all classes holding it right-handed. A right-handed Pistol has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected casings from striking the user.
