Scattergun
From TF2 Wiki
Information
The Scattergun is the primary weapon for the Scout class. It is a short, double-barreled lever-action shotgun with a wide cone of fire and high damage falloff, and fires 10 pellets per shot. While deadly at close range, the scattergun becomes mediocre at medium range and near useless at a distance. Two shots at point blank is enough to down most classes. Other than a slightly increased damage and wider spread the scattergun is equal to the standard shotgun in all regards. If fired from a position touching a target, the attack is capable of causing Knockback. Like the standard shotgun and the Force-A-Nature, the Scattergun's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before 'bullet-spread' takes effect.

Reload base is the time it takes to reload the first ammo. Additional reload is the time it takes to reload each ammo after the first. All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.
Trivia
- The Scattergun is never actually reloaded: when the 6 round clip is empty, the handle lever is used to eject the rounds without loading fresh ones in. This is a simple design over-sight, however, since the ejection port is still visible on the right side of the weapon.
- Sound effects in the game files show some labeled "double shot". It is possible this may had or was going to have a double-barreled firing mode, or it would be like the super shotgun from Team Fortress Classic. These sound effects were recycled for the Force-A-Nature.
- The Scattergun has Developer weapon variants.
