Crackpot idea since it reminds me of a pipe-organ buuuut:

- Weapon deals *Significantly* increased knockback
- no random crits
- kills fill [Mini-Crit] meter (possibly call it Crescendo?)
- relatively significant damage penalty to both damage dealt, as well as damage recieved

Kinda of a goofy idea for the stats but here we go

(+)Stay on note!:On kill, +5% damage and removes movement penalty for 3 seconds
(Firing speed buff stacks to +25% damage but is removed when timer is up, killing during the timer resets it back to 3 seconds. Timer ends immediately if switched to a different weapon slot.
Also counts all kills during the timer on a killstreak counter, killsteak counter resets on timer end)
(-) -20% firing speed
(-) +10% damage vulnerability when drawn

Supposed to be a snowball weapon for heavy, to make an super aggressive and mobile play style

Name Katyusha

+running it will play wonderful piped version of songs Katyusha, Tetris, soviet march and soviet anthem instead of regular Minigun noise (including when firing). Re-spin up to shuffle's through the songs in order so you know what song to hear when firing so you look really cool with the music playing.

- every time you switch to another minigun you will miss the sweat songs of this minigun

Pros:
+ 20% faster spin up and switch
+ 30% damage resistance on 1/3 max health
Cons:
- louder noise on spun up
-12% firing speed

[+] Critical Hits dealt by this weapon apply Marked for Death

[+] Crescendo: Damage dealt by this weapon builds Critical Hit Chance for all of Heavies' weapons

(Up-to +100% additive Crit Chance at 450 Damage, decays by 70 per second after 3 seconds of not dealing damage with this weapon)

[-] -50% Damage Penalty

I have a dumb Idea
The Veles
Level 69 (not Joking that's how long the USSR lasted) Choo Choo

+ takes 600 damage to fully charge Steam meter.
+ Press 'Reload' to activate the Steam Meter, When activated, grants 30% faster speed movement and firing speed
+ 25% more damage against burning players.
- Whistle Blower, Louder yet musical spin up sound, while the steam meter is active and still spinning you can drown out both a depleted dead ringer and a scout with the pan... it's that loud
- 20% Slower Spin up time.

As for what you sound like with your ability active. This, this is what you would sound like https://youtu.be/Sgkq1Kiz80I?si=vPRPHnsnFJwOhmvo

My stats for this thing:



( + )

+50% Clip size
Damage slowly builds up "Trainwreck" meter
On full meter: Press the Reload key to increase firing speed & deal mini-crits


( | )

none.

( - )

-20% Damage penalty
-40% Firing speed
-20% Rev-up speed
No random critical hits



If this weapon can't be its own thing, it could probably pass as a reskin for the Brass Beast, since it's kinda fitting, at least to me.
