To Valve and The Model's Owner;

Forward:

I like to propose abilites for weapons that I could see being usefull, fair and unique, simply because I'm used to working with things I can actually use. I've included the purpose of my proposed attributes. I encourage you to thouroughly read them out.


Purpose:

While using a sentry to take down a enemy sentry is a fun tactic, this gun could add a new element. If the engineer could detonate an enemy sentry's rocket burst before it reaches him, or even close enough to the enemy sentry to damage it, he would have a whole new score of options.

With this purpose in mind I propose giving the following qualities to the gun;

#1: Detonation Of Enemy Explosives
Bonus: Detonates enemy explosives on impact. This explosion can destroy adjacent enemy projectiles and damage enemy units.

Why: When placing a sentry where it can fire upon another sentry, it is often destroyed by the enemy sentry's rocket bursts. This would allow the engi to wipe out enemy rocket bursts and protect his sentry untill it is ready for action.

#2: Some Knock-Back to Enemy Units
Bonus: Knocks back enemies on impact.

Why: A bit of knock-back, while slight, can often protect your sentry from precise weapons like sniper rifles and the direct hit. In addition, it could be used to push enemy engineers away from their sentries or into their own line of fire, enabling exciting new tactics!

#3: Buffer Healing For Sentry (Optional)
Bonus: Heals sentry 5% on successful detonation of enemy explosive.

Why: While this is by no means neccessary, it would make it a little easier to set up your sentry in dangerous sitautions. This is just a suggestion in case valve thinks it might help. In short its a buff, which should only be used if valve deems necessary.

Stats
The statistics like clip size and damage will need to be different from the stock pistol, but me giving you random numbers is futile. However I would expect a few large changes to insure the weapon is balanced. Valve will find away to make it fair.

Description. My Suggestion.

This weapon reminds us all that a giant rock might fall form the sky and crush us all like that fat one did to the spycrabs several million years ago, if it werent for that beautiful ball of butane, Jupiter.


Thanks For Reading! And I hope valve does what it can to make some kind of Jupiter get added, the Solar System just wouldn't be the same without it!
