The Ullapool Caber is a melee weapon for the Demoman and was released as part of the The Expert's Ordnance set. It appears as a World War II-era German Template:W Stielhandgranate "potato masher" grenade, with the Mann Co. logo stamped on the head.
While the weapon deals (greatly reduced) melee damage normally, on the first hit on a solid object or enemy the highly-unstable Scottish explosives in the head detonate, consistently dealing a hundred points of explosive damage and propelling the Demoman upward in the ensuing blast. Note that even with friendly fire activated, the Caber will not explode on hitting an ally. Both the melee damage and initial explosive damage both never Critically hit randomly, but both do Crit when guarranteed to do so, as during a Chargin' Targe charge. Respawning or visiting a Resupply Locker restores the grenade to its original state.

Previous changes
- This weapon was given two unique kill icons.
Bugs
- The Ullapool Caber currently has a visual bug in which it sometimes appears detonated when it is not.
- When striking an enemy, the Ullapool Caber sometimes does not deliver the explosion damage. It still deals full explosion damage to the Demoman, but it only slightly damages the struck enemy as if the Caber was already broken. The Caber appears broken after such an event has occured, but striking an object, wall, or enemy again causes a second explosion even without returning to the spawn.
- The weapon does not currently Mini-Crit when used with the Chargin' Targe.
Trivia
- Template:W is the town from the Ross and Cromarty area in the Scottish Highlands where the Demoman was born.
- A caber is a long wooden pole (usually a section from the trunk of a tree) that is thrown as a feat of strength during the Template:W event of the Scottish Highland Games.
- Hitting an ally with the Ullapool Caber does not set it off. Hitting a disguised Spy however, does detonate the Ullapool Caber.
- The description "High-yield Scottish face removal" was taken directly from the promotional artwork that Swizzle created for his entry in the Polycount contest.
- It is possible to negate the self-damage of the Ullapool Caber's explosion by equipping the Sticky Jumper. This does not negate the self damage in Medieval Mode.
- The Ullapool Caber, upon exploding, actually hits the opponent twice. Melee damage is dealt when the grenade hits the opponent, then explosive damage when the grenade detonates.
