The Loch-n-Load is a community-created primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a double-barreled break-action grenade launcher.
This weapon fires grenades that travel at approximately 1513 Hammer units per second, or around 65 miles per hour, and do not tumble mid flight, meaning they travel 25% faster than stock grenades and experience less drag in flight, greatly increasing their overall range. These grenades inflict 20% more damage than the Grenade Launcher to buildings upon a direct hit. Grenades will explode as normal if they strike an enemy, strike a Building or if the fuse expires, however if they hit anything else before then, they will shatter, dealing no damage or push force. Additionally, the Loch-n-Load only holds 3 grenades (instead of 4) and each grenade has a 25% reduced splash radius, making it less effective on clustered enemies.
The kill icon for the Loch-n-Load was contributed by Psyke .
