The weapon will be a rolling mechanical turret that Heavy wheels around and can quickly rev up and fire. In the W + M1 firing animation he is fruitlessly trying to push it forward digging his feet into the ground since it is just THAT heavy.

>When firing Heavy is pushed back by the force.
Heavy backpedals at normal movement speed even when firing
Heavy moves back at revved movement speed when not inputting a movement direction.
Heavy very slowly moves back even when he is holding forward because the weapon is just SO heavy.

+20% firing speed
+40% knockback at close range
-Can only aim 160 degrees up, down, left and right from his forward facing stance once he revs up. Cannot look behind himself or readjust his aim until he fully revs down.
-33% accuracy
-20% unrev speed.
(Consumes ammo faster due to faster firing speed)


Theoretically, Heavy can stand against a wall and fire to avoid the knockback.

Heavy can theoretically stop firing, move up and start firing again to get closer to opponents. However, he cannot turn more than 160 degrees until he is FULLY revved down.

+ On Fire: 50% knockback
+ On Hit: Stuns enemies
+ 7% Rev Speed
+ 20% Firing Speed
+ 70% chance to destroy headphone users
+ 20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up
- Ammo can only be refilled with dispenser or resupply locker
- On Equip: You can't see sh!t
- Accuracy decreases in constant usage
- 70% slower spin up time
- -80% slower move speed while deployed
- Cannot switch to secondary or melee when deployed
- Cannot reload
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAANNNDOOOOMMMM CRITICAL HIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (what it actually means is: Mini-crit when it would normally crit)

Maxims were known to be able to shoot for long periods of time due to being water cooled, so long sustained fire was possible. Gun shielding also helped protect the gunner.

Thats a really cool idea for heavy to have a gun thats stats change when you crouch and this take is also pretty good on paper

Level 2023 infantry gun.

+ 20% faster spin up time.
+ 20% more accurate.
+ 50% resistance to fire and bullet damage.
+ 30% resistance to explosive damage.
- 50% clip size.

I would've added more downsides like 20% slower move speed when deployed. or 20% slower firing speed. but I'm some what limited to five stats
