Demoman questions

[rayzertag]

Hi guys! (my standard sentence when I log in into a server)

A have a few questions about my favourite class: the Demoman. I like him because he can handle any situation (offence, defence, enemies, sentries), has about average health and speed, has powerful weapons and has never have to put himself into the line of fire.

Both the Grenade Launcher and the Rocket Launcher have some sort of crosshair at the end of their barrel. The Rocket Launcher doesn't arch (at least, I've never noticed) but the Grenade Launcher does. So, is the crosshair just decoration, or do top Demoman players (Walkilla?) really use it.

With the new Pyro update, Pyro's (who do not wield the Backburner) have gained the ability for an airblast. Can you blow stickies away with it? This can be important because the primairy fire can't and blowing them away with the Shotgun is very ineffici?nt

When you smash the Whiskey Bottle against a enemy or wall, it does sometimes shatter (this seems to be completely random). Does the bottle in this state more damage on enemies (or have a higher crit-rate)? Also, when you kill a enemy with it, the game says: =(e)=? Rayzer - *shattered bottle logo* - *enemy you killed*.

Thanks!

Yes, you can.

It shatters when you get a critical hit.

No

They can also reflect grenades too, but rarely have a chance to up close for most. most pyros now tend to charge in, and if the have the flame gun, most with try to flare against sticky, which you can wipe the floor with them. Aim for the feet, juggle them up, and land a sticky down for them to land on, a pyro is helpless in the air.
