The '''Heavy Weapons Guy''' is a playable class in ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]'' and one of the antagonists of the ''Team Fortress Comics'' series. He is notable for his large size, and is outfitted with [[Armor (Classic)#Armor types|Heavy Armor]], as well as a [[Single-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Single-Barrel Shotgun]], [[Double-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Double-Barrel Shotgun]], and [[Assault Cannon (Classic)|Assault Cannon]]. For grenades, the Heavy Weapons Guy is equipped with two powerful [[Grenade (Classic)|grenade]] types, the [[Hand Grenade (Classic)|Hand Grenade]] and [[MIRV Grenade (Classic)|MIRV Grenade]]. However, he is the slowest class in the game. This makes him a great defensive class as he can take many hits before dying and has enough firepower to quickly inflict significant damage. Players need to be careful with their ammo, though. The Heavy Weapons Guy '''only''' uses [[Ammo (Classic)#Shells|Shells]] as ammunition and the Assault Cannon uses them all up in '''20 seconds'''.
