what if it shot fireballs

10 percent less damage.
primary fire use 25 metal and can light players on fire.
secondary fire uses 50 metal and launches a projectile that works like the scorch shot.

WHILE HOLDING
plus 1 metal :)

+Primay fire shoots out a stream of napalm. when fire hits the floor, it remains burning for 5 seconds
+Players hit by napalm catch fire and burn until healed, or put out.
+Players that walk through floor fires catch fire and burn for 5 seconds, or until healed, or put out.
-costs 20 metal per second fired
-Pyros do not catch fire from napalm, or floor fires.

-10 walk speed
-10 metal used each second
Fires small stream of fire and ignites players
+15 burn damage

How about it's just a weak flamethrower?

Shoots like a flamethrower, using metal instead of it's own ammo pool, and can airblast.
A new way to protect your buildings, and two new ways to deal damage.

How about:

Does not need to be reloaded
On hit; allied buliding:
Repairs bulidings using a stream of repairing ala the Medi-Gun
Repairs 5hp per second
Only works at close range
On hit; enemy:
+Ignites players
-Afterburn does only does 1hp of damage a tick
-Afterburn lasts for 2.5 seconds
-100% less secondary ammo
-Prolonged use of this weapon will cause self-damage
-Further prolonged use of this weapon will cause self infilected afterburn
On miss:
-Ignite yourself, stultus

this will be like the cowmangler before the buffs(but nowere near as bad i hope), with all of its hidden stats. this weapon should go in secondary slot. there isnt much there.

STATS THAT SHOW
causes afterburn( cause duh, its f**king fire)
shoots flaming projectile when fired(akin to flare gun)
press mouse2 to shoot a airblast, but it has -50 knockback
using the airblast, you can get rid of flames on your teamates, which will give you 25 health.
-20 damage taken from exlosives to all sentries next to you while equiped
+10 movement speed
-33 afterburn damage
+15 damage vulnerability(while active)
-10 damage
-10 health
STATS THAT DONT SHOW
reflected projectiles do minicrit damage(the same as airblast)
-?clip size(to around 4 bullets)
-100 secondary ammo
reloads while not active
+? afterburn time agianst cloaked spies(around1.5 second more)

I hope tis isnt a broken or useless weapon.

I'd might take away the airblast part. That's like having another pyro on the team.

10 metal wasted per 1 second of firing: :burns enemy players: :afterburn lasts 3 seconds: :can repair buildings: :short range flamethrower: -10% health on wearaer: :the lower your health gets the more demage it does and heals buildings faster: : full health.2dmg per second.1 dmg per afterburn: :under 10 health.10 dmg per second.5 dmg per afterburn
