Am I doing it right?

Ellis, is it really the right time for this?

I ever tell you about the time me and my buddy Keith got some fireworks, Good story, well:

What the FUCK did you just say about pewdiepie?

So recently people have been unhappy with the fact that the Sandman-Guillotine combo is out the window, or at least TFTeam permitting. For about the past 3 weeks I've been rolling Scattergun, Guillotine, and Bat whenever I play Scout, cause I wanted to see how the Guillotine fared without the Sandman (before the balance changes blogpost, mind you), and it's fucking good. Like good. The Guillotine deals 50 damage upon impact, followed by 40 bleed damage over time. That's 90 damage (assuming the bleed doesn't get snuffed by stuff like Dead Ringer or Demo shield charge) if you can land the projectile. Now maybe I'm biased cause I main Demoman and I'm used to projectiles, but landing the Guillotine is not that hard. Now, 90 damage on a 6 second cooldown is good and all, but a lot of people are unwilling to make the tradeoff from the beloved Pistol. In the Scout's arsenal, the Pistol is primarily used as a finisher, in the event that you are unable to reload your Scattergun or if the enemy is at a range unfitting of the Scattergun. In contrast, the Guillotine works much better as an initiator of fights, tossing one at your enemy before bringing out the Scattergun means that your enemy is guaranteed to be taking damage over time during the fight, in the form of bleed damage. Also take note that the Guillotine deals the same damage at any range, that 90 damage has no falloff. It's essentially an extra Scattergun shot, damage-wise, without the affects of bullet spread and damage falloff whiffing the damage. It can be used as a finisher as well if you really need it to, although a much more burst-damage one. What do you guys think of the weapon? I've been having a lot of fun and good results with it, even got a few airshots.
