The '''Nail Gun''' is an alternative primary weapon for the [[Scout]]. It is a white and gray pneumatic nail gun, with an oversized drum magazine attached to the barrel, holding a belt of nails. The nails leave faint team-colored trails behind them.


The Nail Gun despite it's non lethal appearance, acts as an alternative to the stock [[Scattergun]], allowing the [[Scout]] to trade out their hitscan, burst firing lever action shotgun with an automatic, projectile and clip based weapon. One of the most important factors about the Nail Gun is the actual nails, since they act as projectiles they will not hit an enemy as soon as they are fired and instead travel through the air with an arc, this means that when firing at a moving enemy it's best to shoot in front of which direction they are moving rather than where they are in order to compensate for the travel distance of the nails.
Unlike the [[Scattergun]], the Nail Gun is an automatic magazine-fed weapon that shoots a fast stream of small nail projectiles that embed themselves into enemies. The nails have a base damage of 12 each, are shot at a rate of 10 per second, are slightly affected by gravity, and are inaccurate at long range. It deals slightly less damage per second than the Scattergun, but has sustained fire which enables a constant barrage of chip damage against an enemy. This is especially true at midrange, where the Scout can harass enemies while staying out of range from their attacks, including cutting off their pursuit by shooting nails down their path of travel. It also acts as a potent [[Sentry Gun]] destroyer, able to destroy buildings outside the Scout's typical range within seconds. As a consequence, the Nail Gun is more comparable to the [[Pistol]] in terms of use, featuring a similar midrange playstyle, albeit trading off the reliability of bullets for the entertainment value of nails.


The Nail Gun works best at medium range where the Scout is just out of reach of the opponent to both hit his shots consistently and dodge incoming fire with the [[Scout]]'s increased mobility. But another important note about the weapon is how it's automatic nature can be utilized. Due to the nails being more effective at range than a [[Scattergun]] shot it can sometimes be effective as a way to deter distant opponents or damage a large group by spraying the nails into a crowd of enemies. The nails are also more reliable when it comes to taking out distant Sentry's, as long as the [[Scout]] stay outside the guns range you and compensate the nails arc a user can chew through a Sentry.

Nail Gun

"Construction isn't on this man's agenda!"

The Nail Gun is an alternative primary weapon for the Scout. It is a white and gray pneumatic nail gun, with an oversized drum magazine attached to the barrel, holding a belt of nails. The nails leave faint team-colored trails behind them.

Unlike the Scattergun, the Nail Gun is an automatic magazine-fed weapon that shoots a fast stream of small nail projectiles that embed themselves into enemies. The nails have a base damage of 12 each, are shot at a rate of 10 per second, are slightly affected by gravity, and are inaccurate at long range. It deals slightly less damage per second than the Scattergun, but has sustained fire which enables a constant barrage of chip damage against an enemy. This is especially true at midrange, where the Scout can harass enemies while staying out of range from their attacks, including cutting off their pursuit by shooting nails down their path of travel. It also acts as a potent Sentry Gun destroyer, able to destroy buildings outside the Scout's typical range within seconds. As a consequence, the Nail Gun is more comparable to the Pistol in terms of use, featuring a similar midrange playstyle, albeit trading off the reliability of bullets for the entertainment value of nails.
