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.

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

Nail Gun

"Yeah, lost that job pretty quick."

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.

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 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.
