| − | : Additional notes and/or trivia:
| |
| − | * This is more or less double the damage of a Shotgun pellet.
| |
| − | * A pepperbox pistol or 'pepper gun' is any small handgun or pistol with multiple barrels fixed around a centre axis.
| |
| − | * Taunting with the Shortstop performs the Pistol taunt, not the Scattergun/FaN taunt. (Kinda obvious in retrospect, but w/e)

| − | The ejected shells are also visible entering the weapon from below. I could get a picture. Neither movement can be seen without slowing the game down significantly. This is of course just the method they are using to swap the models. The "appearing ammo" bug maybe should not be in trivia.--[[User:Mechlord|Mechlord]] 00:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Speeds under slowing effects ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I made my first wiki edit ever! Just whipped up some math, did a little testing in game with the velocity graph, and figured out exactly how slow various affected (effected?) classes would be I still haven't been able to test what happens if both natacha AND the shortstop hit somebody (whether the slow stacks, adds, multiplies, or just slows to either Natasha or Shortstop speed rather than both). Though I've studied english for a number of years, it is admittedly not my first language, so I'd appreciate it if you guys could proofread it. I also wasn't sure whether it should go where I put it, or under some other category. [[User:Naet|Naet]] 21:24, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Design Basis ==
| |
| − | 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 will draw from the same ammo reserves as the normal Pistol if both are equipped."
| |
| − | :Surely this warrants mention? --[[User:Mechlord|Mechlord]] 09:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | : Normal Pistol and Lugermorph. Just checked it myself. Unfortunately it ''was'' on the page, but somebody saw fit to delete it. --[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 21:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Shortstop&oldid=122033 You deleted it] and I reinstated it. It seems you are fine with this, so I have added the Lugermorph to this statement, check if it makes sense. (Hopefully we can assume that the Shortstop will be equipped.) --[[User:Mechlord|Mechlord]] 22:35, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Has it been confirmed that the weapon uses shotgun ammunition? As mentioned above, doesn't it share the reserve ammunition used by the pistol? [[User:Esquilax|Esquilax]] 23:46, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :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. The statement regarding this should be fixed now. Sorry for any confusion. --[[User:Mechlord|Mechlord]] 23:53, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | | |
| − | Wait, you're telling me that 48 is 100% more damage than 60... Is there something I don't get??? [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 03:09, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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)

| |

| − | There is a trivia that says "The weapon's name is a reference to "shortstop", the fielding position between second and third base in the Scout's favorite sport, baseball." Don't you think that should go into the [[List_of_references_(Scout)|references]]? [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 00:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

| − | In the second post of the thread, which is the original concept, there is no pistol replacement other than the Mann Milk (Mad Milk) and if it were meant to replace the pistol, there would be an alternative firearm to replace the scattergun. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Xephslayer|Xephslayer]]''' ([[User talk:Xephslayer|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Xephslayer|contribs]]) </small>

| |
| − | :Did you read the thread? 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.
