New gun is unfair to tiny baby enemies.
The Heavy, upon receiving his giant new gun

The Brass Beast is a primary weapon for the Heavy and was released as part of the Hibernating Bear set. It is similar in appearance to the original 1861 gatling gun made by Richard J. Gatling Gatling Gun. It also appears to have an attached Broadwell Drum, though mounted on the side and fed into the main gun via ammunition chain (the original Broadwell Drum was mounted above the gun, and was essentially 'gravity-operated').
