The Shortstop is a community-created primary weapon for the Scout. It is a four-barreled pistol with a pearl grip modified into a pepper-box and loaded with shotgun shells.
Each shot fires multiple pellets from four single chambers. The Shortstop does not possess the increased damage ramp-up of the Scout's other primaries such as the Scattergun and Force-A-Nature, but each shot has little bullet spread, and the pellets will tend to fire in a tightly packed square, which makes this an ideal weapon to use where range and accuracy are a concern. However, each shot fires 60% fewer pellets than the Scattergun, but each pellet deals twice the damage, which results in an overall 20% lower base damage per shot. The Shortstop also gives the Scout 20% increased healing from health packs while active, but in return the Scout receives an added 40% knockback from all damaging weapons and airblast at all times. The Shortstop has a firing speed approximately 40% faster than the Scattergun and reloads an entire clip of ammunition rapidly, although each clip has four shots as opposed to six.
Like the stock Shotgun and Scattergun, the Shortstop's first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before "bullet-spread" takes effect. When random spread is disabled, any shots with the Shortstop form a T-shape consisting of the center row and bottom center position of a 3x3 square.
If the Shortstop is equipped alongside the Pistol, Lugermorph, Winger or Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol, both weapons will draw from the same reserve of ammunition (while not increasing the maximum ammo carried). Critical hits are also delivered in a similar manner, granting 2 seconds of critical hits, as opposed to regular shotguns.
The kill icon for the Shortstop was contributed by Template:Steam profile link.

Trivia
