Trivia

• In Team Fortress 2, prior to a 2009 update, the Pistol worked similarly to the USP Match from Half-Life 2, in that holding down the fire button would make it fire at a very slow rate, but clicking it repeatedly would make it fire much faster. In Team Fortress 2 Classic, the cvar tf2c_pistol_old_firerate restores this functionality.
