— Official Description

The Iron Curtain is a promotional primary weapon for the Heavy. It appears to be a Minigun made partially out of wood, with identifiable features such as a Communist Hammer and Sickle emblem visible on the ammo casing and a smoking vent on the side. This weapon was supposedly crafted by the Heavy himself. The weapon functions in exactly the same way as the standard Minigun.
It is awarded to players of Template:W for defeating the Heavy during a round in which he has bought in with the item instead of cash.

Identical to the Minigun.
Previous Changes
- The Iron Curtain was added to the game.
- Later that day the crafting servers were patched so the Iron Curtain could no longer be obtained via the Item Drop System or Crafting.
Bugs
- The Iron Curtain has a quick switch effect between weapons by ignoring the spin-down time. Considering that the Iron Curtain is a promotional item, this is likely to be an unintended side-effect. Additionally, Sandviches consumed immediately after a quick switch will not deplete the item's recharge meter.
- The bullet flash coming from the end of the Iron Curtain is further out than the actual end.
Trivia
- The name of this weapon is a reference to a quote from British Prime Minster Winston Churchill, in which he said the "Iron Curtain" would divide the Soviet Union's territory from the Western Democracies.
- In Poker Night at the Inventory, the Heavy refers to the Iron Curtain as Sasha. This is either an error by the creators of the game, or the Iron Curtain is actually an earlier model of Sasha.
