In [[Team Fortress 2]], certain weapons fire '''projectiles'''. Projectiles, unlike [[wikipedia:Hitscan|hitscan]] bullets, do not travel instantaneously across the map but rather at a preset speed and often subject to engine physics. This speed also differs depending on the weapon used to launch the projectile. Because of this, however, the projectiles are not effected by [[Lag compensation]].

In Team Fortress 2, certain weapons fire projectiles. Projectiles, unlike hitscan bullets, do not travel instantaneously across the map but rather at a preset speed and often subject to engine physics. This speed also differs depending on the weapon used to launch the projectile. Because of this, however, the projectiles are not effected by Lag compensation.

The Compression Blast ability of the Flamethrower can reflect projectiles. Once reflected they will inflict Mini-Crit damage and assume the Pyro's team color if applicable (Stickybombs excluded). In addition, when colliding midair, some projectiles may deflect opposing ones, or destroy them completely.
