Anyone else finding that the weapon isn't ANY more powerful than the normal pipe launcher? In fact in my testing it seems to be a lot weaker. --[[User:André the Accelerator|André the Accelerator]] 01:31, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== 'Not what it looks like in game' ==
 
 
 
I beg to differ, because it does look like that in game: [http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5497/thelochnload.png Source] [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 16:07, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Actually nevermind, it does say that in TF2Items...why do I even have it layed out like that? [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 16:09, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Clip size inconsistency ==
 
Description says "-60% clip size" but the LnL has 2 ammo per clip whereas the GL has 4. Now, I know that GL's original ammo clip counted 6 grenades, but it should be "-66% ammo clip" then. Should be worth mentioning?--[[User:Kid Of The Century|Kid Of The Century]] 10:39, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
:I believe it's just Valve re-using some of the attributes in the schema but forgetting to change the numeric values. -- [[User:Psychopath|Psychopath]] [[File:User_Psychopath_avatar.png|16px|link=User_talk:Psychopath]] 10:42, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
:: 10% of 4 is 0.4, therefore 60% is 0.4 x 6 which is 2.4. 4 - 2.4 = 1.6. If it's 66% as you say, and 1% of 4 is 0.04, then it is 4 - ((0.04 x 6) + 2.4) = 4 - 2.64 = 1.36. How is this better? 50% is clearly the way to go. --<span style="color:purple">'''''Focusknock'''''</span> 09:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== New Kill Icon==
 
 
 
Today most of the new weapons got their own kill icons. I saw in the history that someone reverted the change to the old grenade launcher kill icon , however i changed it back because on this page, http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Weapons, it says that the loch n load uses the new icon. Did the person mean that its a bug and its not actually used in game?
 
[[User:Mgrandi|Mgrandi]] 07:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 
: It's in the game files, but in game it does not use the kill icon, no one knows why, more than likely a bug. Until it actually changes that way in the game, it should be left as the grenade launcher icon [[User:MogDog66|<span style="font-family:TF2 Build; color:light green">MogDog66</span>]] [[file:User MogDog66 Service Metal No WhiteSpace.png|22px|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:MogDog66]] <sub>[[User talk:MogDog66|t]]</sub> <sub>[[Special:Contributions/MogDog66|c]]</sub> <sub><span class="plainlinks">[http://steamcommunity.com/id/mogdog66 p]</span></sub> || 07:55, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 
::Your Edit was reverted by MogDog with reason the Loch-n-Load [[kill icon]] was added to the game files but for now is still unused (check the link I just gave) so for now it will not be added to this page. As soon as the new kill icon is used in game you'll be able to change it here.<br> Sign your edits using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> instead of writing everything, it's way easier, and make yourself a nice userpage too, it helps everyone know who you are and what you do :).[[User:Tturbo|Tturbo]] 07:59, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

== Crafting (primary or secondary token) ==
 
 
 
Does anybody know whether the description here or on the [[Crafting]] page is correct?
 
 
 
This page gives the recipe "DemoToken + PrimaryToken + Scrap" while the Crafting page lists (under the Class Weapons examples) "DemoToken + SecondaryToken + Scrap" and also lists it as secondary under the "Crafting weapon classifications" header.
 
 
 
I don't really feel like taking my chances by blindly trying one recipe (not even sure if I got the raw material needed), so if anybody knows which page got it right, please tell/correct. Thanks! :) --[[User:Sid|Sid]] 18:00, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 
:Thanks for pointing that out. The crafting page was correct in that the LnL is a secondary weapon for crafting purposes. The blueprint on this article has been fixed.

==Pronunciation==
 
Can someone add a correct [[Wikipedia:IPA for English|IPA]] pronunciation for the weapon? I've noticed most people call it the "Lock-n-load". I'd do it myself, but I don't have a working microphone at the moment. [[User:Cooper Kid|Cooper Kid]] 16:51, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 
:How else would you pronounce it? :S '''<span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:83%;">—[[File:User Moussekateer signature sprite.png|31px|link=User:Moussekateer]][[User:Moussekateer|<span style="color:black">Moussekateer</span>]]·[[User talk:Moussekateer|<span style="color:black;font-size:82%;">talk</span>]]</span>''' 17:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 
::There are various ways to pronounce it, but Loch as in "Lock" is pretty normal. That'de be the British/American English pronunciation of the word, if I'm not mistaken. It's a borrowed word, and is pronounced differently in Gaelic. The point is, "Lock" is correct. The Gaelic (and various other) pronunciation is "Law" and then you kind of clear your throat and it's not very pleasant to hear. Germanic languages, ho!—[[File:User spyonce hearts.png]][[User:Spyonce|Spyoncé]] 17:34, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 
::: I'm sure it's pronounced 'lohh' in areas of Scotland, but 'lock' is used more widely for everyone else.--<span style="color:purple">'''''Focusknock'''''</span> 18:10, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 
::::Actually, there isn't a correct 'British English' way of pronouncing it, English people generally say "lock" whereas in Scotland it's always "loch". I didn't realise it known as "lock" so widely - though I normally play on UK servers so I guess only I'm to blame for that. Maybe it's worth putting this in the trivia section though?

== Projectile speed correction ==
 
 
 
Since the grenades launch at 1200 units/sec (see its talk page) this makes the loch'n'load launch at 1200*1.25 = 1500 units/sec. [[User:CursedGhost|CursedGhost]] 14:32, 21 October 2011 (PDT)

== Barrel Sounds ==

== Splash damage vs. Grenade Launcher? ==
 
 
 
I've heard that this weapon has increased splash damage, but the splash distance, compared to that of the Grenade Launcher, is still the same: 3ft. Am I getting it wrong or is there more testing that needs to be done? — {[[User:Qorinthian|'''Qor'''<small><span style ="color:#989898 ">inthian</span></small>]]} 20:21, 20 October 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Measuring the speed ==
 
 
 
Since LnL grenades are 25% faster than GL grenades (from what the game says), wouldn't that mean that LnL grenades traverse at 1518-1525 [[Hammer units]] instead of 1331? [[User:NintendoDrilly|NintendoDrilly]] ([[User talk:NintendoDrilly|talk]]) 16:34, 12 August 2014 (PDT)
 
:Yes--'''[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]]''' 01:56, 13 August 2014 (PDT)
 
::So... you know, why is it labeled as something entirely different, and yes, I read on the upper sections. - [[User:NintendoDrilly|NintendoDrilly]] ([[User talk:NintendoDrilly|talk]]) 20:30, 13 August 2014 (PDT)
 
:::Can someone explain to me why the article says that LnL grenades move at 1331 even though they move 25% faster than standard grenades? - [[User:NintendoDrilly|NintendoDrilly]] ([[User talk:NintendoDrilly|talk]]) 10:31, 16 August 2014 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Should be Nerfed ==
 
 
 
In my opinion, LnL should be nerfed, it kills main classes like scout, sniper, engineer (without gunslinger), spy bla bla bla.
 
its really overpowered weapon and should be nerfed quickly. Thanks!

== Base damage increased. now does constant base damage. ==
 
 
 
Like the Grenade Launcher, this weapon had its base damage slightly increased, in this case to 134.  On disable damage spread servers it will always do that damage.  Only direct hit values seem to have changed.[[User:Arcdash|Arcdash]] ([[User talk:Arcdash|talk]]) 13:19, 30 October 2014 (PDT)
