The Pipe bomb launcher is a weapon in the classic Team Fortress games and is only usable by the Demoman. It fires bouncy pipe bombs that can only be blown up on the player's command. Pipes will bounce off of any player they come in contact with while airborne, friend or foe. The projectiles fired by it are marked with a yellow band to differentiate them from grenades fired by the Grenade Launcher. Up to eight pipe bombs can be on the ground at once; pipes fired after that point will cause the oldest grenades to explode. Pipebombs appear as yellow regardless of team.
It shares a magazine with the Grenade Launcher.
Even if friendly fire is off, the Demoman that launched the pipe bombs can still be injured by the pipe bomb's explosions if they are near it. This can be used to Pipe Jump.
Damage
40-80 per pipe bomb.
