m Please don't add information about community nicknames or... dubs? Not sure what to call them. Anyway, don't put 'em here. Here's a request: if you've got the time, find out from a dev if the FaN inspired the TB, and if it did, mention that in the trivia section.

The '''Twin Barrel''' is an alternative secondary weapon for [[Pyro]]. It's a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun with a seared muzzle, red wooden stock, and foregrip held together with a belt. The stock appears red regardless of which team the user is on.


The '''Twin Barrel''' is an alternative secondary weapon for [[Pyro]]. It is a sawed-off [[w:Double-barreled shotgun|double-barreled shotgun]] with a seared muzzle, a wooden stock and foregrip and is held together with cord.
It fires a burst of 20 pellets in a horizontal pattern that are capable of knocking enemies back if ten or more connect. Like the [[Flare Gun]], it only holds a single shot at a time, but reloads while inactive.


It fires a stream of pellets which have a horizontal bullet spread instead of the [[shotgun]]'s more square-ish spread. Compared to the shotgun the Twin Barrel's ammo capacity and clip size is significantly smaller, only holding 12 reserve ammo, and only being able to hold one shot at a time. However, like the [[Flare Gun]] it can reload when the weapon is innactive and causes opponents to suffer knockback. If the user fires the weapon while airborne, the recoil propels them opposite of the direction they aim. This can be used to perform a third jump in midair, opening up alternate routes for the Pyro to take.  
When the user fires the Twin Barrel, the recoil propels them in the opposite direction that they aim. This can be used to extend jumps upwards or horizontally, allowing the Pyro to reach otherwise inaccessible areas or move around faster. The user's current velocity and friction against the ground affects the distance gained. Crouching has no effect on the velocity gained.
