The '''Fire Axe''' is a [[melee]] weapon of the [[Pyro]] class.  In most circumstances, the [[Flamethrower]] is a much better choice for targets in melee range. The Fire Axe is typically used on unaware enemies and for humiliation purposes as it has a high [[Critical hit]] chance where as the Flamethrower does not.  The Critical hit animation for the Fire Axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing.
