The '''Twin Barrel''' is an alternative secondary weapon for [[Pyro]]. It is 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.

It fires a large burst of 20 bullets per shot, which have a horizontal rectangular spread instead of the [[Shotgun]]'s square spread of 10 bullets. 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. Like the [[Flare Gun]], it can reload while the weapon is inactive. The Twin Barrel can also cause knockback against an enemy. If ten or more bullets hit an enemy, that enemy suffers knockback regardless of damage or range. The angle of attack and the enemy's current velocity are the only things that affect knockback power; damage and range have no effect.
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.


When the user fires the Twin Barrel, the recoil propels them opposite of the direction they aim. This can be used to perform a pseudo-jump in midair, opening up alternate routes for the Pyro to take and allowing them to go into areas they normally cannot reach. The user's current velocity, such as when running, and friction, such as when on the ground, affects the distance gained. The highest vertical velocity is gained by aiming straight downwards, standing still, and shooting immediately after a jump. The highest horizontal velocity is gained by aiming slightly downwards, running backwards, and shooting immediately after a jump. With this technique, the Pyro can effectively travel as fast as a [[Scout]]. Crouching has no effect on the velocity gained.
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.
 
Taunting with the Twin Barrel will cause the Pyro to perform the Hadouken kill taunt, releasing a hitscan bullet (disguised as a cone of fire) from their hands and dealing 500 damage to any enemies directly in front of them, including those underwater. It will always face forwards regardless of where the user aims, and can kill multiple enemies at once, and deal knockback to invulnerable enemies. It will not deal [[critical]] hits, but can deal mini-crits, and will damage buildings. If the victim somehow survives the taunt, they will not suffer [[afterburn]]. The fire is red regardless of which team the user is on.

Twin Barrel publicity blurb

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.

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.

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.
