Scattergun

The TF2 community has been known to use a variety of terms to describe the game's many playable classes, and "scattergun" is one of them. This term likely originates from the game's Soldier class, who wields a shotgun-like firearm called the Scattergun. The name suggests that the weapon fires a wide spread of projectiles, much like a scattergun in real life.
