Blasting out rapid pulses of high amplitude, cross spectrum radiation has never been so convenient! — Pomson 6000 publicity blurb

”

The Pomson 6000 is a primary weapon for the Engineer.

The weapon fires an unreflectable blast of energy that consumes no ammunition and is capable of piercing through multiple targets in a straight line, similarly to the Righteous Bison. Shots from the Pomson 6000 can interfere with the signature abilities of Medics and Spies; if struck, a Medic will lose 10% of his ÜberCharge, while a Spy will lose 20% of his Cloak.
