	Unlike the [[Pistol]], the Coilgun fires laser projectiles that can be charged to deal more damage. After holding primary fire for 1.5 seconds, its damage triples to 75, it becomes fully accurate, and its projectile speed increases by 60%. Fully charged shots can also ricochet up to three times off surfaces, with each bounce reducing its damage by 15.

	The '''Coilgun''' is an alternative [[:Category:Secondary weapons\|secondary]] weapon for [[Engineer]]. It's a futuristic laser pistol, made out of a slightly rusty blue-tinted metal, with a glass window revealing a yellow, glowing energy coil inside~~. The coil is yellow, and the metal is tinted blue, regardless of which team the Engineer is on~~.		The '''Coilgun''' is an alternative [[:Category:Secondary weapons\|secondary]] weapon for [[Engineer]]. It's a futuristic laser pistol, made out of a slightly rusty blue-tinted metal, with a glass window revealing a yellow, glowing energy coil inside.

	Unlike the ~~pistol~~, the Coilgun fires laser projectiles that ~~do 25~~ damage ~~instead of bullets~~. ~~The tip of the laser will always be orange, while the trail will always be team-colored. Holding the~~ primary fire ~~button charges up the Coilgun's next shot, up to~~ 1.5 seconds, ~~increasing~~ its damage up to 75, ~~its accuracy up to 100%~~, and its projectile speed by 1.~~6 times. A~~ charged ~~shot~~ can ~~be released early for increased~~ damage~~, accuracy, and projectile speed, scaling linearly between 0% charge and 100% charge. Any charged shot, regardless of percentage, will delay the next Coilgun shot~~.		Unlike the [[Pistol]], the Coilgun fires laser projectiles that can be charged to deal more damage. After holding primary fire for 1.5 seconds, its damage triples to 75, it becomes fully accurate, and its projectile speed increases by 60%. Fully charged shots can also ricochet up to three times off surfaces, with each bounce reducing its damage by 15.

	~~A fully charged shot~~ will ~~also ricochet the beam off walls. The beam will ricochet three times until it disappears~~, ~~reducing its base damage by 15 for each ricochet. The Engineer~~ will ~~not take damage from their own ricochet. In addition, the gun can be charged past its maximum amount, up to 3 seconds. Charging the gun~~ for too long ~~will result in the weapon overcharging, causing an explosion at the Engineer's position. When the Coilgun explodes~~, ~~the Engineer takes~~ 60 damage and ~~deals~~ up to 50 damage to any enemies ~~nearby~~. ~~The Engineer is~~ also ~~knocked~~ into the air, which can be used as an [[Jumping\|explosive jump]] if timed correctly. This allows the Engineer to get to positions that would otherwise be impossible. The Engineer gains more height by crouching, and the most height by jumping while crouched before the explosion. If timed precisely, the Engineer can pick up his buildings during an overcharge.		Charged shots will be weaker if released early, and will explode if held for too long, dealing 60 damage to the user and up to 50 damage to any nearby enemies. Overcharges will also knock the user into the air, which can be used as an [[Jumping\|explosive jump]] if timed correctly.

	~~All Coilgun projectiles can be [[Flame Thrower\|airblasted]] and the charged ones will ricochet as well~~.
