New kill-icon
The FaN was given a new kill-icon in the engie update (as was Natascha, Lugermorph, Big Kill, and bleeding deaths). Steviestar3 02:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, we're all working on it (but you can halp) — WindPower 02:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Is this really worth noting?
"*Many members of the community dislike the Force-A-Nature due to the fact that players tend to use it as part of their griefing tactics, its increased spread and knockback. As such, servers tend to remove it from the list of weapons a player can use on them." I didn't realize we documented butthurt whiners on the Steam Forums. -KazooieBanjo 23:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Graphic Glitch
I don't know if it happens to other players, but I have been experiencing a really weird glitch where the two barrels of the FaN seem to lower down with the handle, while the two shells and that switch-like thing on the top (safety switch?) appear under the handle. http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Fan_glitch_1.png This only happens when I taunt or when I see it on the loadout.

Ash's Boomstick
The FaN, now that I look at it with more detention, looks like Ash's Remington in Evil Dead 3. 12 gage double-barreled Remington, as Ash says. Is it worth it to point it out? (Not necessarily the Evil Dead thing, just the fact that is a Remington) Space is not wheel chair accessible 22:09, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- No. Saying that it looks like something is irrelevant and, frankly, just not trivia. It's just an observation. If you knew for a fact it were a Remington it might be interesting, but for all we know it could just be based off some artist's generic idea of a sawed-off shotgun. Trivia should follow the Trivia Style Guide as much as possible. --

Fact Errors
This article contains information that has been incorrectly fact checked, such as the parts that state that Bullfighters are Spanish only, several countries such as Spain, Portugal, southern France and several Latin American countries are entertained by this sport.

All that physics education finally paid off
Players take knockback distance inversely proportionate to the distance between them and the scout, ithankyou Cueburn 03:41, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- True, but many people will have no idea what this means. "based on" conveys this in a simple manner which most will understand. --Mechlord 03:49, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- While your statement is more accurate, Cueburn, many people will not know what "Inversely proportional" means. We have to cater to the everyman here. --Firestorm 03:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Just some ideas to add
I would add them myself but they might just get removed so im checking on the talk pages of things first. you can also use the FAN first then proform the scouts double jump which can be counted as the 3rd jump(triple jump). also is it just me, but when you fire one shell and reload, the other (unfired) shell gets ejected and you loose that shell as it becomes discarded from use...--Awesome Weegee 20:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Both are already mentioned in the article. "This can be used for an effective 'third jump' along with the inherent double jump ability" and "Reloading always ejects two shells, even after firing a single round." Natemckn 20:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- should it imply that "ammo is lost" due to the unused shell being ejected with the used on?--Awesome Weegee 01:13, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't we EXPLAIN the taunt animation glitch?
One of the criterea for trivia to be considered "good"is for it to make the viewer think "Wow, I didn't know that!". I think that maybe we should explain why minor bugs happen, so I believe we should explain why the FaN looks so strange when taunting. For those of you who don't know, the scout has different animations for everything when using the FaN because of the gun's different model build in comparison to the Scattergun, what with the model practically being cut in halve in order for the reloading animation to work. Valve simply mixed up what animation the Scout uses while taunting with the FaN. Anybody with me on this? Hi. 20:28, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Clipping issues are not trivia. --

See aslo Soda Popper
The Soda Popper is pretty much the same as the FaN, so there should be a link to it in the See also section. Anyone agree? --ScoutKast 20:51, 29 July 2011 (PDT)
- No, because it's in the scoutnav box just below the "See Also" section. That's my take, am I incorrect? Atonement 21:01, 29 July 2011 (PDT)
- Might be worth noting in the trivia that the Soda Popper is intended to be a rebuilt FaN but yeah, it doesn't need to be put into the see also section Evang7 21:31, 29 July 2011 (PDT)
Force | Triple Jump
Is the recoil force from the FaN that effects the Scout truly inherent as the wording states (scripted), or is it based on the number of pellets shot like the knockback is? I.E., if one was to mod the FaN to shoot less pellets per shell in order to reduce the knockback, would the Scout lose or lessen the extra jump it provides?

Reload
Would the fact that if only one shot is fired and then the weapon is reloaded, you lose 2 ammo instead of just the 1 replacement shot be considered a bug? That wasn't very well explained... Ermmm...
Say you have 2 loaded shots and 30 ammo and you only fire 1 shot. When you reload, instead of having 29 ammo left, it acts as if you have fired both shots, bringing it down to 28 ammo.
Taser9001 06:05, 7 February 2012 (PST)
- I don't see how it could be a bug, it's not something inherit to weapons in TF2 that they forgot to turn off. They would have actually had to make it use 2 ammo every reload. Balladofwindfishes 06:16, 7 February 2012 (PST)
- It's been made that way on purpose to coincide with the reload animation, where both chambers are emptied regardless of how many shots have been fired. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 07:04, 7 February 2012 (PST)
Weapon Demonstration
Shouldn't the weapon demonstration have a comparison to damage and firing times between the Force-A-Nature and the Scattergun? The visual comparison would help to see the difference. --JAK0723 18:10, 11 February 2012 (PST)
Nope.avi Wind was tell me about firing speed doesn't need to compare. Hinaomi

Slight Grammar Cleaning
"a second shot delivers none in the same jump."
It should read "a second shot does not deliver knockback in the same jump." The word "none" is referring back to "knockback". "None" is used with a plural verb, but "knockback" is singular.
General Veers 10:06, 14 February 2012 (PST)
- No, it's actually alright. "Knockback is only delivered by the first shot; a second shot delivers none (i.e. no knockback) in the same jump." I know it might not appear to make sense, but English really is a nonsensical language. I think I'll reword it anyway to make it a little easier to understand. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 10:48, 14 February 2012 (PST)
