Talk:Shortstop

Shortstop

Its primary weapon, not a secondary weapon. It replaces the FAN. Balthazar 00:58, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

We're aware. This is an assumed page we made before. We'll update it.  – Smashman _(talk) 01:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming its still protected from editing to prevent server load, but it does seem a contradiction in terms to have it protected with the recent addition template on it. Balthazar 01:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

If it's similar to the COP 357 derringer, shouldn't the page say "it appears as a four-barreled derringer", as opposed to "it appears as a four-barreled pistol"? CdeMonkey

I just had to look up what a derringer was. In my opinion, it's fine as "Pistol". While not entirely accurate, it's the easiest for those without gun knowledge to understand.-RJ 03:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Correct name

http://www.tf2items.com/allitems.php has it as "Shortstop" (from items_game.txt). So the current title is correct. -RJ 00:59, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Durp. Forgot me name. -- MistahFixIt 01:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Additional notes and/or trivia:

• This is more or less double the damage of a Shotgun pellet.
• A pepperbox pistol or 'pepper gun' is any small handgun or pistol with multiple barrels fixed around a centre axis.
• Taunting with the Shortstop performs the Pistol taunt, not the Scattergun/FaN taunt. (Kinda obvious in retrospect, but w/e)

I've added some of these things to the page. seb26 [talk] 01:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
