The weapon fires an [[Compression blast|unreflectable]] [[projectile]] beam that deals damage and interferes with the signature abilities of [[Medic]]s and [[Spy|Spies]]: hitting a Medic will subtract 10% from his [[ÜberCharge]] meter if he is not actively using it, while hitting a Spy will subtract 20% from his [[cloak]] meter even if he is cloaked or [[disguise]]d. These values are maximums; the amount drained begins to fall off starting at a medium range of 512 [[Hammer unit]]s, with no drain at all at 1536 Hammer units (three times the distance). Drainage is applied after damage is dealt, so killing a Medic with full ÜberCharge counts as such, and Spies can successfully use the [[Dead Ringer]] on Pomson shots. Drainage victims hear a distinctive sound to alert them of the loss.

The Pomson 6000 does not require ammo, though it remains necessary to reload it after four shots. Its shots can also light teammates' [[Huntsman]] arrows and deal only 20% damage to enemy buildings.
+
The weapon fires, with a short delay, a projectile beam that deals damage and interferes with the signature abilities of [[Medic]]s and [[Spy|Spies]]. This projectile cannot be [[Compression blast|reflected]] or [[Short Circuit|destroyed]], and is fired slightly under the crosshair. Hitting a Medic subtracts 10% from his [[ÜberCharge]] meter if he is not actively using it, while hitting a Spy subtracts 20% from his [[cloak]] meter even if he is cloaked or [[disguise]]d. These values are maximums; the amount drained begins to fall off starting at a medium range of 512 [[Hammer unit]]s, with no drain at all at 1536 Hammer units (three times the distance). Drainage is applied after damage is dealt, so killing a Medic with full ÜberCharge counts as such, and Spies can successfully use the [[Dead Ringer]] on Pomson shots. Drainage victims hear a [[Media:Drg pomson drain 01.wav|distinctive sound]] to alert them of the loss.

Enemies killed by the Pomson 6000 suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while surrounded by team-colored [[Particle effects|particles]], and then disappear into ashes while a loud, distinct vaporization sound plays. Like [[backstab]]s and [[headshot]]s, there is a 25% chance of opponents performing a specific disintegration animation if killed in this way. This vaporization effect is shared among the [[energy weapons]].

“
Blasting out rapid pulses of high amplitude, cross spectrum radiation has never been so convenient!
— Pomson 6000 publicity blurb
 ”

The Pomson 6000 is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a retro-futuristic ray gun with many team-colored portions.

The weapon fires, with a short delay, a projectile beam that deals damage and interferes with the signature abilities of Medics and Spies. This projectile cannot be reflected or destroyed, and is fired slightly under the crosshair. Hitting a Medic subtracts 10% from his ÜberCharge meter if he is not actively using it, while hitting a Spy subtracts 20% from his cloak meter even if he is cloaked or disguised. These values are maximums; the amount drained begins to fall off starting at a medium range of 512 Hammer units, with no drain at all at 1536 Hammer units (three times the distance). Drainage is applied after damage is dealt, so killing a Medic with full ÜberCharge counts as such, and Spies can successfully use the Dead Ringer on Pomson shots. Drainage victims hear a distinctive sound to alert them of the loss.

The Pomson 6000 does not require ammo, though it remains necessary to reload it after four shots. Its shots also deal only 20% damage to enemy buildings, a feature shared across the game's other laser weapons.

Enemies killed by the Pomson 6000 suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while surrounded by team-colored particles, and then disappear into ashes while a loud, distinct vaporization sound plays. Like backstabs and headshots, there is a 25% chance of opponents performing a specific disintegration animation if killed in this way. This vaporization effect is shared among the energy weapons.

The Pomson 6000 was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
