The BFG-9000

Obligatory Stat discussion thread
Because these are another thing that pop up, figured I'd open the thread if anyone wants to talk hypothetical stats for the BFG-9000 as an actual ingame weapon.

Now sadly I think a truly faithful recreation of the BFG as it was in Doom would be really unbalanced. No need for reloading, fast-ish fire rate, and a large projectile with invisible damage tracers would be too much.

I designed this weapon to work around the Cow Mangler 5000, and if it got in the game I wouldn't be unhappy if it were a reskin of the Cow Mangler. Although I like the Cow Mangler, so maybe that's bias talking.

Well of course it's gonna be a mod also (nearly done filling out the submission, actually). But I dunno, I wanted to push my luck and see if it can be something more.

Will it get in the game? Probably not, I imagine it's a long shot. But what could it hurt to try?

+50% Damage on full charge.
-Slow charge up.
-Cool down of 20 seconds.
-%25 clip size.
+Increased splash area.

What do you think guys?

Does not require ammo
+__% blast radius
-50% knock back
-10% Damage

As a promo item it shouldn't have alternate stats. It should function just like the original IMO.

Pros:
+300% Blast Radius
+100% Damage
+Ignites Enemies
+Deals double damage to buildings.
-100% Self-damage
Cons:
-50% Projectile speed.
-75% ammo
-no ammo from dispensers
-cannot be crit boosted
-100% push force
-can only fire charged shots

I think this would make it work just like the it's Doom counterpart.
No reduced clip size, you need to reload all 4 charges to fire this.
You can't push enemies nor yourself with this.

And a little TF2 spin on it.
You can minicrit boost this.
A direct hit will destroy even a level 3 sentry.
Projectiles can be deflected or destroyed with the Short Circuit.

It's a scarry weapon to use and to fight against but I don't think it would be unbalanced.

(+) Does not use ammo.
(i) Alt-fire: A charged shot that mini-crits players, causes them to suffer afterburn for 6 seconds, and disables buildings for 4 seconds.
(i) Lasers fly straight down the crosshair from the center of the screen.
(-) No random Critical hits.

It should just have the Cow Mangler 5000's stats with the Original's bonus feature.
