The Classic is a primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a rifle based on the Sniper Rifle from Team Fortress Classic that is in turn based on the H&K G36, but fitted with a longer barrel and a laser sight.
Unlike other sniper rifles, the Classic does not automatically charge shots while the player is scoped in. Instead, charging shots is done manually by holding down the fire key, followed by releasing it to fire the shot. As a result, charging shots and scoping/unscoping are completely independent from each other. Charging a shot applies the same movement speed reduction and effects as any other rifle that is scoped and charging; being scoped without charging does not reduce speed.
In addition to its separation of charge and zoom, the Classic deals 10% less damage on bodyshots and does not force the player to unscope when fired. It is also capable of headshots without having to be scoped, but it cannot headshot unless fully charged.
If the fire key is released while in midair, the weapon does not fire, and the shot is simply cancelled. The player can jump and release the key or switch to another weapon in order to intentionally cancel a shot.
Players killed by a charged shot will be gibbed, and will also leave behind a cloud of blood where the player was standing, which quickly fades away.
