The Iron Curtain is a currently released promotional primary weapon for the Heavy. It appears to be a Minigun made partially out of wood, with identifiable features such as a Communist Hammer and Sickle emblem visible on the ammo casing and a smoking vent on the side. The weapon was supposedly crafted by the Heavy himself.
The weapon functions in exactly the same way as the standard Minigun. It is able to fire 10 ammo per second, but has a large cone of fire and individual bullets suffer damage falloff with range. For each 1 ammo, the gun fires 4 bullets; if all 200 ammo count is fired, that equals 800 bullets. In order to fire, the gun requires approximately one second for the barrel to revolve at the correct speed before being ready. Players can begin spinning the barrel without firing by holding down secondary fire. When either spinning or firing, the Heavy's movement speed is slowed considerably (to 37% speed). Furthermore, the Heavy cannot move while crouched and spinning or firing.
It is awarded to players of Template:W for defeating the Heavy during a special bonus round.[1]
