Bugs

  • The Heavy pumps the entire weapon when reloading and shooting.
  • Spent shells eject out of the center of the screen in first person view.
  • There is no muzzle flash when firing.
  • Due to the addition of a stock onto the Shotgun, the Family Business will clip through the Heavy's left hand when taunting.
  • In world view, the ejection port is invisible.
  • In the view model, the gun appears to float in Heavy's hands.
  • While reloading, it is possible to force the reload animation to loop endlessly by holding both the primary and alt-fire buttons after reloading at least one shell. This can be similarly performed with the Reserve Shooter, Frontier Justice and Shotgun.

Trivia

  • The phrase "Family Business" often refers to Template:W operating within the Mafia.
  • The Family Business was previously named the Soviet Stampede and the Russian Riot. Concept art shows it also had a hammer and sickle inside a red star on the stock, a common symbol for the Soviet Union.
  • The design of the Family Business is based on the Template:W.
