The Ullapool Caber is a community-made melee weapon for the Demoman. It appears as a World War II-era German Template:W Stielhandgranate "potato masher" grenade, with a white Mann Co. logo stamped on the head.
With this weapon, the first hit on any solid object or enemy (including a disguised Spy) will cause the Scottish explosives in the head to detonate, dealing massive explosive damage to both the Demoman and surrounding enemies. The Demoman will be propelled directly upwards by the explosion and will likely suffer fall damage upon landing. This weapon will not explode if struck against an ally or a friendly building.
After the Caber explodes, the Demoman will be left with only the remains of the grenade stick, which deals significantly less damage than other melee weapons. Respawning or visiting a Resupply Locker are the only ways to restore the grenade to its original state.

Update history
December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)
- The Ullapool Caber was added to the game.

April 14, 2011 Patch (Hatless Update)
- Replaced the no-crit attribute with -25% damage on the Ullapool Caber.
- Replaced the -25% damage attribute with no-crit.
Bugs
- The Ullapool Caber currently has a visual bug in which it sometimes appears detonated when it is not. This can happen when hitting friendly buildings. Occasionally resupplying at the Resupply Locker will still show the detonated Ullapool Caber.
- When striking an enemy, the Ullapool Caber sometimes does not deliver the explosion damage. It still deals full explosion damage to the Demoman, but it only deals melee damage to the struck enemy. The Caber appears broken after such an event has occurred, but striking an object, wall, or enemy again causes a second explosion even without returning to a spawn cabinet.
- The weapon does not currently mini-crit when used with the Chargin' Targe.
- Striking an ally with the weapon while friendly fire is enabled will not set it off.
- The Ullapool Caber currently uses the default Bottle animations and sound. Additionally, the Demoman will refer to his bottle of scrumpy upon a kill.
- When hitting a Spy holding the Dead Ringer with a ready-to-detonate Ullapool Caber, the Spy will die twice, once from the initial hit and the second time from the explosion.
Trivia
- Template:W is the town from the Ross and Cromarty area in the Scottish Highlands where the Demoman was born.
- A caber is a long wooden pole (usually a section from the trunk of a tree) that is thrown as a feat of strength during the Template:W event of the Scottish Highland Games.
- The description "High-yield Scottish face removal" was taken directly from the promotional artwork that Swizzle created for his entry in the Polycount contest.
- It is possible to negate the self-damage of the Ullapool Caber's explosion by equipping the Sticky Jumper. This does not negate the self damage in Medieval Mode, as the Sticky Jumper is stripped from the player during play.
- Damage from the Ullapool Caber is spread across two rounds in quick succession. Melee damage is first dealt when the grenade hits the opponent while explosive damage is dealt as the grenade detonates. Therefore, if an attacked target has very little health, it will display the killicon associated with the Caber's melee damage, not explosion damage.
