Bugs

• Because of the placement of the chain and ammo drum, the Brass Beast with clip through the Heavies left hand and right arm when taunting.

Trivia

• The penalties of the Brass Beast are similar to that of the Heavy prior to the April 28, 2010 Patch, having both slower wind-up/down time and slower movement speed while the gun is deployed. The penalties are even greater, however, to balance the increased damage.
• The Brass Beast is similar in appearance to the original Gatling Gun. It also appears to have an attached Broadwell Drum, though mounted on the side and fed into the main gun via ammunition chain. (The original Broadwell Drum was mounted above the gun, and was essentially 'gravity-operated'.)
