The C.A.P.P.E.R is a community-created secondary weapon for the Scout and Engineer. It is a ray gun with team-colored fins and a well-worn, team-colored body (Orange for RED & Light Blue for BLU), implying extensive use. It has a small antenna protruding from the front of the gun, and a long silver wire down the lower half of the gun leading to a small rocket exhaust.

Enemies killed by the C.A.P.P.E.R suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange or blue cinders, depending on what team the user is on, that quickly fades away.

When fired, the bullets from the C.A.P.P.E.R. have a unique style and particle effect that make it look to be shooting team-colored lasers, rather than traveling bullets, and a unique sound effect to match its looks.
