The Demoman on missing limbs

The Bootlegger is a community-made primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a single pirate's boot and a peg leg that replace the Demoman's standard boots.

This weapon functions in exactly the same way as Ali Baba's Wee Booties.

On request of Valve, the Bootlegger was contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop, after it was officially added to the game.

The backpack icon was contributed by Smashman.
