I had the same idea.
-Upon backstab the bullet would crit the first person it hit
-Has only six shoots
-Cannot be refilled by ammo pick-up.

Upon backstab, a loud gunshot sound is made
six shots, reloadable with a total of 4 mags
ammo refillable

I honestly dont know what the pros would be and honestly who gives a ♥♥♥♥

Bullets that hit players from behind = Crit?
No backtab + Distinct sound + No ammo pickup ???

The idea behind it is that it's a concealed gun that can be triggered by punching. So it could somehow improve your disguise (damage resistance while disguised, don't loose disguise on backstab, instant disguise (no smoke), stuff like that, but would make a very loud and distinctive sound on backstab

Yea I was thinking instead of a backstab it just shoots out and crits from behind kinda like a long range backstab, but the gunshots are limmited and the knife does less damage when you go to melee someone

What about it makes a loud backstab, but when it backstabs it maybe will shoot right through the body and double backstab the guy right in front of the guy you just backstabed? For example theres a medic and his heavy, I am a spy, I backstab the medic and he is looking at heavys back then the bullet will go through and hit the heavy in the back and voila! You have a double backstab! So the first backstab must be near the enemy, and the second backstab can be far away! Just an idea!

Alt clic is the watch.

No knife have random crits.

I don't think the reload animation is compatible with knives, but then again, the Spy has weird first person animations thanks to his billion different view-models. I like the idea of on-backstab, bullet goes through the backstab victim dealing face-stab damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be near. Maybe an increase in projectile face-stab damage, with a slower weapon swing? Or maybe since there are six bullets, your stabs would be restricted to six, discouraging face-stabs in gameplay. Since there are no animations currently, you'd only get ammo from resupply lockers.

Oh, hey! Modelwise, do the visible bullets in the clip vanish on stab?

Unfortunatly it's impossible with the current animations, so cylinder spinning, bullet disapearing don't work. But then again none of the ingame revolvers have that either, so...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, they never fixed that, haha. You could probably do cylinder spinning with jig-bones, that'd be clever. Might be distracting though, especially since, as you said, the bullets don't eject.


Anything's possible with jig-bones. EVERYTHING IN LIFE.

-Limited to 6 bullets (can be replenished with ammo packs)
-On Backstab: Bullet fires, kills target and goes through to kill anyone in front of the target, up to 3 people per stab. Hitting a Sentry will stun it for 3 seconds.
-On Miss-stab: (Read: hitting someone, but not backstabbing them, or just plain swing-and-miss) 60 damage is dealt to user, a bullet is wasted, and the spy is stunned (Razorback-stun animation is played, not sandman stun)

It's a REALLY high risk-high reward Spy playstyle; get your stabs and you can cause a lot of collateral, but miss and you're screwed. Also good for Stab'n'Sap.

all i know for sure is that it maybe could be like the eternal reward but has a distinct gunshot sound when you backstab someone and it shoots rather than backstabs which can pentrate through players.

How could it crit someone if backstab if backstab is insta kill. Common sense is a endangered species.

+%20 more damage if front stab.
-Marked for death on backstab.
-Loud Sound on stab. (Any Side)

Pros
Backstab automatically fires a bullet that does a insta kill
+10HP
Alt-fire shoots 1 of 6 rounds

Pros&Cons
Your Current revolvers stats carry over to this weapon
Goes through the backstabbed target doing normal damage

Cons
No reloading (make those bullets count!)
backstab does not insta kill instead does half maximum health of your enemy
gun part does half the damage of your current revolver
