Stab, stab, stab!
The Sniper

Upon taunting with the Huntsman equipped, the Sniper will remove the prepped arrow from his bow, spin it behind him, and then fiercely stab it forward before yanking it back, killing any enemy player unfortunate enough to be in the way.

The initial stab with the arrow itself will stun the victim, and pulling the arrow free will inflict the killing blow. As the stunning stab and killing pull are separate actions, it is possible to succeed with one but fail with the other depending on whether the enemy is within range. Because of this, two Snipers wielding the Huntsman can create an infinite stun loop without killing each other.[1]

The stun effect of the taunt works on both ÜberCharged enemies and enemies under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch, but will not kill them. Stunning the Medic in this fashion will break the ÜberCharge connection to his buddy.

As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.
