Bonk (Taunt)

From TF2 Wiki

Information

Upon taunting with The Sandman equipped, the Scout will point to the sky (a homage to Babe Ruth's famous called shot [1]) , wind up and let loose with an almighty BONK that launches opponents ridiculous distances. A successful hit will result in the cheers of an invisible crowd. It is necessary to kill someone using the Bonk taunt to gain the Out of the Park achievement. The taunt can still be used during Humiliation and Stalemate to kill members of the enemy team despite the fact that the player models appear to be unarmed.

It is interesting to note that the Bonk has a 5 second wind up time, making it the longest taunt in the game and the longest taunt that can be used to kill, with the Spy's Fencing taunt being the only other one of a comparable length.
