A successful hit will result in the cheers of an invisible crowd. Killing someone with the taunt unlocks theOut of the Park achievement, provided the ragdoll flies a far-enough distance. The taunt can still be used offensively during Humiliation and Stalemate despite the Scout's hands being empty.
The Bonk has a 5 second wind-up time, making it both the longest taunt in the game and the longest kill taunt, the Spy's Fencing taunt being the only other even close in length.
