Introduction
(Credits for Spookylicious for making the picture, you may find a link in the end of the guide for his profile)

SO, I had this great idea of making a guide about the different scout weapons. But many times MY opinion doesnt match the community opinion or is plain wrong. SO, I want you guys help. Post a opinion about different weapons in the comments, putting a score of 1 to 10 and a reason behind it, and also, though its optional, a good strategy with them. I will post it here, with other guys opinions so a new player can find easily a good weapon for his playstyle and also see what are the best and worst weapons overall. So dont just stand there maggot, come comment and help me. To start out I will put my opinion and score on each one.

Force a Nature

Overall score: 7/10
The Crazed Buttstaber: 5/10- ''Quite fun but the small clip size ruins it''

Mr.Beasty: 5/10- ''not bad, but not that good''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM- 6/10

AlphaStrategizer:8/10-A great weapon to use once you learn how to utilize its advantages properly, allowing you to get to hard to reach areas, and there are few more hilarious things then using knockback to annihilate heavies and force people off points.

Landeyx: 10/10 "PUSH PEOPLE MUHAHAHA

Voodoojazzoffire: 6/10- ''good despite the knockback and extra pellets, do not use from attacking from affar''

Mr.Beasty: 9/10- ''This is one of my favourite scout weapons, but the bad part it has a small clip size''

Jarl Balgruuf the 'Ballin: 4/10-''It has potencial but needs buffing. Like for example going back to the minicrits on pop''

Landeyx: 0/10 "Why does this thing exist?"

Voodoojazzoffire: 10/10- ''this gun is an awsome gun, if you dont get shot, that is most unlikely, exept sentries, a scouts job is to kill and dodge, if you stand being shot all the time, you are doing it wrong, this is my favorite gun in my opinion, i dont know about the others, but yea.''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM- 10/10

Agent Walther: 7,5/10- "While it has the biggest clip size of all the primary Scout weapons, it's still pretty meh. Maybe it's just me too used to shortstop and bfb with their accuracy, but i feel myself uncomfortable with it"

Landeyx: 10/10 "It's the best, accept it"

Voodoojazzoffire: 9/10- ''one of the best stocks''

Landeyx: 0/10 "Gun mettle let die much good weapons,R.I.P. pretty boys"

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM- 1/10

Coffee: 7/10-''Much more of a utility than a weapon, but helps get to places you normally can't, or would have to use 2/3 jumps to get to.''

Landeyx: 10/10 "Extra far jumping is HANDY just equip it with the soda popper and the **** atomizer"

Voodoojazzoffire: 6/10- ''pistols arent my thing, but the increased jump height May be usefull in rare ocasions.''

Voodoojazzoffire: 8.5/10- ''just like it say, a guillotine, That is flying! combined with sandman, your a monster, when you fully charged them all up... and if you didnt miss them, its hard to use for begginers, get more practice on throwing this and the ball, then you will be almost unstoppable, as long as you never miss''

Landeyx: 0/10 "No"

Voodoojazzoffire: 8/10- ''this weapon is pretty good, even though the less damage, but still that doesent matter much, and if you got flames uppon the enemy from a friendly pyro, this weapon is almost a nightmare im good at melee hitting, so i was able to kill 3 guys with this, even though they werent burning, includeing 2 scouts useing the "bat" ''

Wrap Assassin

Agent Walther: 10/10- ''The most underrated melee weapon ever. Great if you like sandman and bleeding, but you want to use pistol and you don't use the melee to actually beat people with it.''

Landeyx: 2/10 "In combi with the guillotine you're very deadly,but we allready have bonk"

Voodoojazzoffire: 2/10- ''no... just, no.''
So-so rated meele weapons (5-7)
Bat

Landeyx: 0/10 "The first melee for scout you get in a drop you equip"

Voodoojazzoffire: 7/10 ''good ol' stock weapon, this weapon is good if you know how to be accurate with it, and if it doesent lag, like the other scouts, they miss a whole ton, that will get you killed instantly, learn how to not miss though, and you will be able to be a good melee scout''

Boston Basher

Overall Score: 5.4/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 4/10- ''I just kill myself with this thing.''

Jarl Balgruuf the 'Ballin 5/10-"Good if you need to build a übercharge fast in midst of a round but not that useful otherwise"

Dave: 9/10 - ''Devastating after 2 hits.''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM: 3/10

Coffee: 9/10-''The next best, in my opinion. As a weapon, it's alright, but don't use it frequently. However, for utility, it's fantastic. It can help a Medic build uber, and it can (in dire situations) get you somewhere higher like the Atomizer.''

RamboTheMambo:8/10- ''Great for spy-checking.... Sometimes...''

Landeyx: 0/10 "Two hits and you're dead"

Voodoojazzoffire: 6/10- ''if you suck at scout melee accuracy, otherwise if you are very good at being accurate and hit people almost without missing with it, this weapon can be a 9/10''

Fan o' War

Overall score: 6,2/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 6/10 ''Only good with the Baby Face Blaster, otherwise, getting close, hitting him and then shooting him takes too long.''

Dave: 7/10 - ''Great for being that annoying F2P Kid.''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM: 9/10

Landeyx: 4/10 "Maybe"

Voodoojazzoffire: 7.5/10 ''this weapon can be a dangerous weapon to use, because being close to an enemy can be your doom, if you manage to hit them with it and escape, you praticly win, unless the enemy is a good killer, this weapon is good if your flanking''

TheMercWithoutAnUnusual: 6/10- ''It suffers the same thing as the Panic Attack... Except if it's MVM it's great''

Atomizer

Overall score:7,1/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 7/10- ''I used it 24/7 until I found the Candy Cane''

Mr.Beasty: 7/10- ''Not bad,Not good''

Dave: 3/10 - ''I'd rather not hit with it.''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM: 9/10

Coffee: 10/10-''Extraordinarily good. Helps dodge super well, and only for 10 HP per jump. 10 DMG to dodge is better than a 100 DMG pipe.''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM: 6/10

Spectre's Husband:10/10-''I always wished to be the Majin Buu of Team Fortress 2.''

Coffee-1/10-''Yeah, it's good against incompetent teams. However, all I've seen it useful for is making my life much easier, as Scouts who use this die VERY easily to explosives.''

Landeyx: 10/10 "HP packs help you,your team and the enemy team"

Voodoojazzoffire: 6.5/10 im not a fan of this, because i alwase get a slight hope of survival when i get hit from rocket, and killing somebody with it drops some pills ((for bill)) there can be a bad side from it because enemy team can pick it up as well, so that can be a very bad thing, im not a whole fan of this melee weapon.
Well rated meele weapons (8-10)
Frying Pan

Overall score: 8/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 10/10- ''NEED A DISPENSER HERE''

Dr. Moron:10/10-''If you wanna kill someone's ears (even more effective if they wear headphones) this is your scout melee.''

Landeyx: 10/10 "That sound :3"

Voodoojazzoffire: 8/10 ''FRYING PAN, loud as f*** if you want distractions, this weapon is the pan for you, if you want to go in silently, i suggest some other melee weapon and the "mythicial extra crits on hit" with this thing''

Sandman

Overall score: 8/10

The Crazed Buttstaber: 5/10 ''Just another thing that I cant aim...''

Mr.Beasty: 7/10 ''i can't even aim this, what is this even for!?''

TRYHARD HUNTER and co.TM:10/10

Reven: 10/10-''must giv soda pop and sandy 10/10''

Landeyx: 11/10 "The 15 HP loss makes no difference, its the best weap in game."

Voodojazzoffire: 10/10 ''This bat, is pretty much, awsome, if you know how to use it very well, a very good combination with the flying guilotine.''

[DEV][GmT][RAF]Ouwhajah: 7/10- "OK if you're good at aiming, excellent combo with the F.G, kinda sucky for the -15HP, but still a good weapon.''
Best and Worst Loadouts
All voted and all done, its time to see what the community thinks the best loadout is (acccording to the given scores):

Best Loadout

Stock Scattergun
Mad Milk
Atomizer

The Stock scattergun offers nothing bad, but also nothing good. Now that can be complimented with the atomizer, which gives extra mobility for a cost of 15 health. But if you ever found yourself doing to much triple jumps, you got the mad milk to help you, since it can regenerate health pretty well.

And just for those times you want a challenge, or lolz:

Worst Loadout

Shortstop
Winger
Sun on a stick

Shortstop and Winger use the same ammo. The Winger can do extra damage, true, but youre going to spend all your clips for the shortop if you want to use that extra damage. And the sun on a stick is just terrible.
Conclusion
Welp, you saw some examples, you saw some weapons. Now go into the comments and start giving your opinion on weapons. If this get a little popular, Ill make a sequel... maybe...
