Can be seen in the Meet the Sniper video. I just noticed this after watching it a couple times. here is a screenshot I took:

Looks like a weird update to the shotgun.

My guess is some sort of flame bomb, sort of like the Bio Rifle in UT3?
 
I think you are right. If you look carefully just before that frame a blue ball looking object comes out. Looks like the Pyro may be getting some range.
 
Yeah, hopefully it's worth it. I really like the pyro's shotgun, especially against other pyros to finish the job.
 
Even better screen, I moved it along frame by frame but it is definately the new replacment for the shotgun.
It fires and releases some kind of steam, so I think it could be some kind of grenade launcher/mortar that lights up anyonethat gets hit? Just a guess.
 
I'd like to see it like a pipe bomb style that shoots a fireball and leaves a big circle of fire on the ground. Can see a pyro or two coating a whole entrance to make every run through fire or possibly to defend a sentry and make a spy come out. We shall see in a few days what it is.

hopefully its not as worthless as the kritskrieg
 
I suppose Steam feel it is going to be popular if they replace the shotgun for it in one of their video's.
Hopefully instead of an 'Upgrade' the new weapon slots would be viable exchanges, where you would have to make a tough decision between the two, unlike say the Blutslaughter as the +3 hp when you hit means that it all too commonly replaces the needlegun.
 
haha yea thats pretty cool looking
but i sort of think its what rain said, but i think it shoots a fire ball and just sets them on fire.
sorta like sticky bombs from demo except you know...it shoots fireballs and sets them on fire.(i just dont think it sets the ground on fire)
 
Knowing how goofy Valve is they probably just stuck that in to screw with all the people that go though the movies frame by frame.

.....my bet is a flare gun
 
its a flare gun, there has been leaks about ti already. you can light people on fire from far away.
 
Nice iceman nice, BTW why was everyone like "OMG NOT REAL WEAPON VALVE IS TEH SCREWING WIT US" If its in one of their trailers.. its real, I mean why would they show you a new wep just to tell you its not real?

You mean like the demoman swinging a bundle of dynamite around in the original trailer?? :D

j/k that's a little different i know :p but i wonder if they'll try to work it back in. seems kinda pointless but i do wish they'd update their game trailer
