Ha, saw that episode last night. Good stuff.

Nothing new. The MG42 can cut down a tree. (I've seen it, it's somewhere on the I-net)

3000 rounds per minute. the heavy says he fires 60000 rounds a minute. huh. So what you are telling me is that the heavy's gun is 20 times faster and stronger than this gun.

How come the miniguns don't make the same sound that Sasha does? lol. I can't believe I missed the new episodes.

Because no gun's sound is as wonderful as Sasha's beatiful voice...

natascha will prove you all wrong

Natascha isn't just a regular gun, she is as wonderful as Sasha, that means she's the number one... together with Sasha.

I can imagine the last blog post on the teamfortress website

"Due to balancing issues for the heavy, we have decided to allow the heavy to dual weild both miniguns.

Also due to balancing issues, we have given him a laser sticking out of his forhead.
We don't know why."

You are wrong, the heavy says it shoots 10,000 rounds per minute.

I repaired & operated the PHALANX in the US Navy for four years. It fired 3000 rounds a minute of depleted uranium designed to shred incoming missiles. With its rapid rate of fire you could watch oil actually cook off the barrels; at night a "fire rose" was visible projecting out the end of the gun.

Needless to say, firing it was always a big woody.

Frankly, I think the Heavy's gun is underpowered and it's range needs extended. I'm biased, of course

 

[Pancia]

If this game were really life based, say you can have Sasha spit out that many bullets, i think we would not play any other class period.

 

[Ancient of Ways]

I wasn't arguing for realism, heh. The PHALANX will run out of ammo in about 15 seconds or so of continous fire. Given Natasha's "boosted" ROF, the heavy would never leave spawn or a dispenser's side. It would be very unfun .

Yet I still think the gun is underpowered, it's very frustrating to be peppering a sniper who's 50' away and he thumbs his nose at you. Of course I doubt the heavy is using DU rounds. Not only are they extraordinarily heavy, but they're also slightly radioactive.

He'd be an invincible tank, unless he gets backstabbed or sniped. Just imagine a heavy dual-wielding miniguns with a laser while being kritz and ubered

If my spy ever runs into an unstoppable mess like that, im quitting.

...or waiting till it runs out and getting the triple kill
