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 allows the Scout to trade out their hitscan, burst firing lever action shotgun with an automatic, projectile and clip based weapon. Nails from this weapon travel through the air with an arc, similar to the [[Medic]]'s Syringe Gun. This means that when firing at a moving enemy, aim slightly 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. Another way this weapon can be utilised is to shoot at targets while retreating. Due to the nails being more effective at range than the [[Scattergun]], this allows the Scout to fall back and also deal massive damage to enemies following, as long as you can correctly predict their movement. The nails are also more reliable when it comes to taking out distant sentries as long as the Scout stay outside the range, the nails can destroy sentries faster than the Scattergun.
