Defensive Short Circuit Offensive Blowtorch
The short circuit of summer 2013 was very defensive

Summer 2013 SC stats:
Changed attributes:
Ammo cost reduced when an attack destroys a projectile.
Ammo cost of firing reduced to -18 metal.
[Undocumented] Ammo cost increased to -36 metal when an attack does not destroy a projectile or hit a player.
[Undocumented] Increased firing speed by +25%.
[Undocumented] The Short Circuit's muzzle now emits a spark effect when fired.
[Undocumented] Fixed attack arcing to nearby teammates as if they were enemies.
--don't get metal if drawn while near dispensers

The short circuit we have now is very offensive unlike the weapons original design. I think the short circuit should revert to the 2013 summer mega patch version and this new blow torch could be the new offensive Short Circuit

New Blowtorch's stats:
Very Short Range with rappid fire (like current short circuit)
Repairs Builders (As opposed to destroying projectiles and rappidly wrecking soldiers)
Afterburn visuals (see demo video. This is apposed to electricution effects sc has on enemies)
Afterburn 2-3 seconds
No reload (like sc)
Low max ammo (kinda like how sc uses metal)
