Plus this gives a nice list where one can see exactly which weapons are currently missing unique icons. Perhaps instead of "kill icon", the glossary could be moved to "List of kill icons" ? --[[User:Ten19|Ten19]] 08:54, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Since I can't test this myself, I think someone who knows about whether they work should (a) upload the (unused?) version of "reflected arrow headshot" (which exists as an older version of deflect_arrowhs.png) and (b) put all three in the Pyro section or Unused section.

Missing Icons
From what I'm seeing, some kill icons are missing. Those are:
1) The Piranhas from Cachoeira (This is also mising form the Environmental death page); Since the Sharks from Sharkbay got theirs added, the piranhas should too.
2) The Zombie Infection kill icons added in the Scream Fortress XVI. Now, the zombies use custom kill icons for their melee attacks and some of their abilities.
There is also the new Saxton Hale kill icons that the Smissmas 2024 patch notes say that they added, but from playing it appears that Hale now uses the default "skull and bones" kill icon. They might be fixing it next patch, so if they do, those new ones should be added as well.
