The Loch-n-Load is a community-made primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a double-barreled break-action grenade launcher, with its two grenades loaded in each barrel.
The weapon fires grenades that travel at approximately 1331 Hammer units per second, or around 56 miles per hour. These grenades inflict moderately more damage than the Grenade Launcher upon a direct hit; however, the grenades will shatter harmlessly upon hitting anything other than an enemy player or building, causing no damage whatsoever. The grenades additionally deal increased self-damage to the Demoman who fired them, making close combat riskier.
The kill icon for the Loch-n-Load was contributed by HyenaDip.

Bugs
- Grenades fired bounce off certain dynamic surfaces such as the moving walkways of Nucleus, as well as teammates.
- The Loch-n-Load uses the same reload animation as the Grenade Launcher, making it appear as if the Demoman is not actually putting the grenades in the barrel but dropping them off the side.
- In the view model, the sight has been moved up the barrel, and is therefore not properly clipped into the correct position.
- Both grenades are fired from the top barrel.
- The Demoman's thumb clips through the front grip in client view.
- The Loch-n-Load uses the Grenade Launcher's kill-icon.
- If the grenade has traveled enough distance or time, the grenades will explode without hitting anything.
Trivia
- The Loch-n-Load's name is a pun on the phrase "Lock and Load", a cliché originating from the process of preparing a weapon for firing. "Loch" is a Template:W and Template:W word for a lake.
- As with the Grenade Launcher, the Loch-n-Load seems to be based on the Template:W, except it has been modified with the addition of a second barrel.
- Unlike the Grenade Launcher, the Demoman holds the end of the Loch-n-Load slightly above the crosshair, giving the appearance of firing at an arc. This does not affect the grenade's trajectory.
