:Absolutely agree with Anzallos. This is informational websource, not a discussion forum. As for the circus - TF2 was never suppoused to be too serious. This weapons fit game design and have perfectly legitimate explanation behind them. [[User:ViToos|ViToos]] 22:07, 20 July 2011 (PDT)ViToos

== Can't be crit boosted ==
 
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but this weapon can't be crit boosted at all. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 20:26, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
 
:...which I made quite clear on the page a decent time ago... - -- [[User:Mistah_Phoenix|<font color=#50006C>'''Mistah Phoenix'''</font>]] <sub>([[User_talk:Mistah_Phoenix|talk]])</sub> 20:29, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
I've been testing this with bots and other players. The primary fire statistics are pretty much identical to the rocket launcher save for sacrificing the crit rockets for an extra round.  The speed is exactly the same. I set up a local host with a bot mimicing me and set the host_timescale to a tenth of normal gamespeed.  I used damage indicators to see through all the energy so I could tell when the soldier was injured. He took damage at the same moment I did over the distance of a fairly large room.
 
 
 
== Weapon testing results ==
 
 
 
The alt-fire deals aproximately 35% additional damage AND a mini-crit. -- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/845393/mek.png [[User:Mechlord|Mechlord]] 01:12, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Splash range? ==
 
 
 
Can anyone confirm if there is a decreased splash damage radius on the regular shot (M1 fire for this weapon) compared to the default rocket launcher's splash damage radius, and what the difference in the splash radius of the regular shot (again, M1 fire for this weapon) compared to the charged shot (M2 on this weapon).
 
Several people have reported that there is a difference, but I haven't had anything come up, but don't want to post anything about it in the weapon stats either way, as I'm not sure.

== Candy Cane ==
 
 
 
Does this weapon deal more damage to Candy Cane weilders? [[User:ShadowGlove|ShadowGlove]] 09:23, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
yes--[[User:Unicornesque|Unicornesque]] 10:10, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Reflectable? ==
 
 
 
Can the rockets from this launcher be reflected with airblast? [[User:Darrenalilim|Darrenalilim]] 11:57, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
: Yes [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 12:00, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
So would airblasting a mini-crit charged shot result in a full-crit rocket? [[User:Darrenalilim|Darrenalilim]] 12:53, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
: I doubt so, but it's still worth testing. [[User:Mail2345|Mail2345]] 13:01, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
:: No, as mini-crits do not stack into normal crits. [[User:ShadowGlove|ShadowGlove]] 13:29, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Environmental death icon from afterburn suicide ==
 
 
 
Should it be under kill icons, or is there another place to put it? It looks out of place in trivia all by itself.  [[User:Mail2345|Mail2345]] 13:16, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
:Yes, it probably should be there, with maybe a hover note over it saying where it shows up [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 13:20, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Strange 'Finished Off' Message ==
 
 
 
I was playing 2fort on a server when i met an enemy soldier in one of the small ways to the courtyard. I hurted him (so it counts as 'finished off') and then he used his Mangler and hit us both. I died and he survived with low health, but the afterburn caused by his weapon killed him later. The kill icon that appeared when he died, was my name, the Manglers kill icon , then his name. Like i would have killed him with the Cow Mangler
 
 
 
I played as scout and didnt own the weapon either. Im sure thats a bug. [[User:Zeno 01|Zeno 01]] 13:38, 21 July 2011 (PDT)zeno01
