| |
| − | According to the creator [http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1139457&postcount=20 the shortstop is based on a modified Remington Elliot, 4 shot.] However after looking this up, it seems likely that the gun is an even combination of the [http://www.tucsonguns.com/pic/2007-7/00-7-20-07-117.jpg COP 357] and the [http://rock-island-auction.ammoland.com/images/1256.0.jpg Remington Elliot].

| − | :The Shortstop uses pistol ammunition, as is detailed in the trivia section regarding its slot-change. Despite this, the Shortstop actually loads and fires shotshell-like ammunition.

| |
| − | | |
| − | == Some stylistic concerns ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since it impacts gameplay, I believe its trait of sharing ammunition with the Pistol and the Lugermorph should be moved somewhere to the head. I also (personally) think the sentence that mentions that it fires four pellets from a single barrel should be integrated in the third paragraph, since as it stands now it looks kinda fugly, especially since other multi-barrelled weapons don't mention it (it doesn't have an effect on gameplay anyway).

| − | Anyone else have any opinions on the subject? [[User:Hostile Companion Cube|Hostile Companion Cube]] <sup>Roar</sup> 01:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | it shouldn't be moved to the head because the pistol and lugermorph don't have any other same characteristics bar that one. the integration with the third paragraph is not necessary seeing as its a paragraph based soley on explaining the ammo and singles it out for easier reading. To be honest it's just me but i see nothing wrong with it it doesnt look fugly to me at all '''<span style="font-family:aharoni; font-size:110%; font-style:italic;">[[File:RED Überneedle.png|42px|link=User:Lexar]] - <span style="text-decoration:underline">[[User:Lexar|Lexar]]</span> - <span style="text-decoration:underline">[[User talk:Lexar|talk]]</span></span>''' 01:40, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

If not, I'll explain why it does not have the Scattergun Firing animations, because the little kids in the 1950's or somewhere around that time played with popcap guns, not scatterguns. Also, on post 20, Spetch describes how he wanted it to reload like the FaN, all shots at once, not to reload like the pistol. And I will reiterate what I said earlier, if the Shortstop would be the pistol replacement, then the Mad Milk would be left as his primary, and that would be impractical as a primary.

| |
| − | While it may seem like trivia, the fact that the stock pistol and winger are both technically pistols leads me to believe that it might not have been intentional. We have no firm way to deem it as intentional or unintentional; all we can do is try to get a hold of a TF team member for confirmation (which I can do).
