Heavy Bolter

"Heavy Bolter helps with picking off weak targets!" In-game description

The Heavy bolter is the default slot 2 weapon for Demoman which shoots accurate, explosive bolts over a low arc. It has a high damage output and can hit targets from any range, and can even be used as your main offensive weapon.

IDK WHAT ITS BASED OFF OF SOMEONE TELL ME The weapon is mostly dark gray colored, with some parts being light gray. Its magazine is colored black, and for some odd reason, its barrel has a hole larger than the bolts it shoots.

Tactics

 * The Heavy Bolter can be used to finish an enemy that is already knocked out, or one that is idling, such as a Sniper from across the map.


 * Due to its small explosion radius, always aim for enemy's feet. You have better chances of hitting your shots that way.


 * Its better to be in a higher elevation than your target as it removes your need for depth perception.


 * Use this weapon when you think your slot 1 weapon isn't doing well, or if you have to pick on a nimble target, which is usually either Scout, Bazooker, or Knight.


 * In most cases, it cannot deal full damage to humanoid targets. Instead, it deals around 32-40 damage at most, although it could deal full damage to non-humanoid targets, such as sentries.


 * The explosions could hit objects through walls, if said wall is thin enough. This could be used to destroy non-humanoid targets like an ANFO Crate placed ontop of your restaurant in Wcdonald's vs Booger King, as the Heavy Bolter deals full damage to non-humanoid targets.


 * Although, the explosions are incapable of destroying most objects. It could blow up small parts such as bricks from Trowel Guy's walls, but not larger parts such as the castle walls on Spiral Peaks. The star streak is far more potent in destroying objects.

Trivia
Just like the grenade launcher, this is another explosive weapon that isn't capable of dealing full damage in most cases to humanoid targets, due to its small explosion radius and lack of a hitbox that allows for full damage.
