What about the flamethrower?

The flamethrower is not a hitscan weapon, but it isn't exactly a projectile weapon either. Where does it fit in all this? Should the flamethrower be mentioned on this page? Monkeyfetus 21:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it's technically a hitscan weapon, but with a set range in which enemies will be damaged... But I guess we should add it, tho. Delicious cake 21:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Sandman and Reflecting

We need to confirm or disprove definitively whether melee weapons can reflect projectiles, and if they can, which weapons can reflect which projectiles. I added a sentence saying that the Sandman can hit baseballs back, but it was removed because we need a link to proof. However I don't see such a link confirming the claim that the Heavy can punch Grenades. The Sandman article says "The Sandman is able to collect baseballs launched by opposing Scouts, you can also hit them back in mid air which requires good timing." This however doesn't have a citation either. I don't really want this to turn into an edit war; let me know what you guys think. JARSInc 12:00, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Sandman ball and it's reflects

It seems my contribution regarding the sandman ball reflecting other sandman balls in the air was removed, I'd like to note that I have witnessed and performed this in the past: it's legit (just damned hard/lucky).

Adding to that I've noted the sandman ball reflecting other projectiles. The first I've heard of it is this thread at SPUF, i've noted it's not confirmed as I've seen no evidence in my experience, nor on any video's. Some people have asked for video's in that thread so I guess it's quite possible - I'll keep an eye out. --RJackson 05:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

"The Heavy can reflect grenades if he punches them with the K.G.B."

Smashman and I tested this a while ago, at both normal speed and host_timescale 0.25, but were unsuccessful. — Wind 22:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Testing projectile speeds.

How? This list isn't going to complete itself! --Vaught 05:29, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious how people got these numbers to begin with..--Vaught 03:13, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

If you are feeling particularily devious, you can snoop around in the code to find out, but I've long since forgotten where... found a related article here. Hostile Companion Cube ^Roar 23:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Midair Collisions

Just added a video showing an arrow hitting/exploding a crit rocket. It seems legit. Should it have a mention? Grug 20:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Jarate collisions

This video shows that Jarate can be exploded be an arrow, even from the same sniper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTv21YCB89Y this should be added to the table of projectiles Illegalwaffies 22:22, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
