Yer all bloody dead! Click to listen — The Demoman

”

The Loch-n-Load is a primary weapon for the Demoman. It appears as a break-action grenade launcher, with separate barrels for each of the two grenades it fires.

The weapon fires grenades that travel at approximately 1331 Hammer units per second, or around 56 miles per hour. These grenades inflict slightly more damage than the Grenade Launcher upon a direct hit; however, the grenades will shatter harmlessly upon hitting anything other than an enemy player or enemy building, causing no damage whatsoever. The grenades additionally deal increased self-damage to the Demoman who fired them, making close combat riskier.

Bugs

• A grenade fired from the Loch-n-Load will explode if it is in the air for a long period of time without colliding with anything, such as being shot straight into the air.
• The Loch-n-Load uses the same reload animation as the Grenade Launcher, making it appear as if the Demoman is loading grenades into the side of the barrel.
• Grenades fired bounce off certain dynamic surfaces such as the moving walkways of Nucleus, as well as teammates.
• In the view model, the sight has been moved up the barrel, and is therefore not properly clipped into the correct position.
• Both grenades are reloaded in the bottom barrel, but both are fired from the top barrel.
• For whatever reason, the Loch-n-Load does not show up in the Mann Co Catalog.

Trivia

• The Loch-n-Load's name is a word play on the phrase "lock and load", a slang military command to prepare firearms for battle. The word "loch" is the Scottish word for "lake", and is a reference to bodies of water such as Template:W in Scotland.
• As with the Grenade Launcher, the Loch-n-Load seems to be based on the M79 Grenade Launcher except it has been modified so that it has two barrels.
