Blasting out rapid pulses of high amplitude, cross spectrum radiation has never been so convenient! — Pomson 6000 publicity blurb

”

The Pomson 6000 is a primary weapon for the Engineer.

The weapon fires an unreflectable blast of energy that consumes no ammunition and is capable of piercing through multiple targets in a straight line, similarly to the Righteous Bison. The beam deals damage to any enemies that are touching it every 45 milliseconds and can hit the same target repeatedly. Shots from the Pomson 6000 can interfere with the signature abilities of Medics and Spies; if struck, a Medic will lose 10% of his ÜberCharge, while a Spy will lose 20% of his Cloak.
