In your language; "Eat lead, laddies!"
The Demoman on heavy grenades

The Iron Bomber is a community-created primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a quad-barreled grenade launcher with slightly-longer barrels, a wooden foregrip and stock, and a large, circular, flip-up front sight.

The grenades fired by the Iron Bomber are spherical in shape, glow, and do not bounce or roll much at all, leaving them to explode in mostly the same place as where they first collided with an object (aside from the effects of gravity). In addition, they have a 15% smaller blast radius (except for the Demoman who fired it) and a 30% shorter fuse time, allowing players to create short-term ground traps with the Iron Bomber's grenades.

The Iron Bomber's grenades have a team-colored band around each of them: if fired on a slope, grenades can often roll in the direction of the band; otherwise, grenades tend to stay in one place.

The Iron Bomber was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

December 21, 2017 Patch (Smissmas 2017)

Unused content

  • The Iron Bomber has a set of three unused explosion sounds that have existed since the weapon's release.

Bugs

  • Due to the way the Source Engine handles projectiles, the Iron Bomber's projectiles follow a straighter, easier to hit arch when compared to the Grenade Launcher's projectiles.
  • The Iron Bomber uses the same reload animation as the Grenade Launcher, and shows bombs being inserted into the bottom left of the chambers and not actually being inserted into the slots.
  • Due to how the model is rigged, the Iron Bomber's barrels don't spin during the firing animation.
