| − | The '''Combat Mini-Sentry Gun''' is a more combat-efficient version of the standard [[Sentry Gun]] and is a component of the Engineer's [[Gunslinger]] unlock. It is a smaller Level 1 Sentry Gun outfitted with a rotating light that [[Self-illumination|glows]] and is painted with a white checkered paint. Like the Sentry Gun, it can be hauled.

| − | === Advantages ===
| |
| − | * Costs only 100 [[Metal]] to place (the normal Sentry costs 130 Metal). This allows an Engineer at a full 200 Metal to build both it and a [[Dispenser]] without needing additional Metal.
| |
| − | * Constructs much faster than the original Sentry Gun. Hitting the Sentry makes it construct faster and, when deployed after hauling, it is armed in 1.5 seconds.
| |
| − | * Cheap and disposable means of area denial.
| |
| − | * Begins construction with 50 health. This makes the Mini-Sentry less vulnerable while under construction when compared to the default Sentry Gun, which begins construction with 1 health.
| |
| − | * Fires 25% faster than a Level 1 Sentry Gun.
| |
| − | * Can rotate 35% faster than the default Sentry Gun.
| |
| − | * 75% the size of a regular Sentry Gun, making it harder to notice and hit.
| |
| − | * More useful for [[Jumping#Sentry bullet jump|Sentry jumping]], as the firing rate and reduced damage combine to deal more knockback for an equivalent health loss.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Disadvantages ===
| |
| − | * Has only 100 health, compared to a Level 1 Sentry Gun's 150.
| |
| − | * Cannot be upgraded. The owner and other Engineers can still refill its ammo and health.
| |
| − | * Deals only 50% the damage per shot of the original Level 1 Sentry Gun. Combined with the 25% faster firing rate, the damage per second is overall 38% lower (~50 DPS compared to the Level 1 Sentry Gun's ~80 DPS).
| |
| − | * Bullets apply significantly less knockback force (800% knockback multiplier compared to a regular Sentry Gun's 1600% multiplier).
| |
| − | * Drops zero Metal when destroyed.
| |
| − | * Once a Sentry jump is executed, not exceptionally useful as part of a base in the new area.

| − | === Disposable Mini-Sentry ===
| |
| − | In [[Mann vs. Machine]], the Engineer can buy a Disposable Sentry that at first glance just looks like a normal Combat Mini-Sentry Gun, however there are a few differences:
| |
| − | * Has a slower firing speed than a normal Mini-Sentry.
| |
| − | * Cannot be repaired or have its ammo refilled.
| |
| − | * Cannot be destroyed by the Engineer who made it - it can only be destroyed by an enemy [[robot]] or automatically destroyed when the wave ends or the Sentry runs out of ammo.
| |
| − | * Cannot be wrangled, but still receives canteen buffs.
| |
| − | * Is 66% the size of a normal sentry compared to the Combat Mini-Sentry's 75%.
| |
| − | * Is not affected by the building health upgrade (always has 100 max health).
| |
| − | ** However, it is affected by the Sentry Firing Speed upgrade.
