OP how good are you at producing particle effects? because the most logical and probably originl idea would be to have an arc of electricity off the ball, instead of bullet damage it could calculate dmg like the flamethrower but at longer distances in a much narrower corridor of space instead of other hitscan weapons. Wile that would ultimately be up to valve having the particle effect ready to go with it would be a boon to them.
