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.

Twin Barrel publicity blurbYou didn't listen (made a scene) when the craftsman (sales associate) at the gunsmith (Wal-Mart hunting supplies desk) told you "listen, mack, shotguns don't come any shorter than that! It's not safe!" So you torched six more inches off in your garage, and now it kicks like a mule and spreads like smallpox. Fire at your feet or right behind you for a much-needed boost, and never be caught in a long range firefight again! Just... watch your fingers, okay?
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, such as when running, and friction, such as when on the ground, affects the distance gained. Crouching has no effect on the velocity gained.

Trivia
- As stated in the publicity blurb, the Twin Barrel was a sawn-off hunting shotgun from Wal-Mart that the Pyro torched the end off of.
- Prior to Double Down, the Twin Barrel used a different model and the Flare Gun's reload sounds.
- Part of the Twin Barrel's publicity blurb, "Jumping the Gun", refers both to using this weapon as a mobility tool and the phrase "Jumping the Gun", meaning to do something without thinking.
- The Twin Barrel does deal knockback against ÜberCharged enemies.
