The Loch-n-Load is a secondary weapon for the Demoman. It appears as a break-action grenade launcher, with separate barrels for each of the two grenades it fires.
The weapon fires grenades that travel at approximately 1331 Hammer units per second, or around 56 miles per hour. These grenades inflict slightly more damage than the Grenade Launcher upon a direct hit; however, the grenades will shatter harmlessly upon hitting anything other than an enemy player or enemy building, causing no damage whatsoever. The grenades additionally deal increased self-damage to the Demoman who fired them, making close combat riskier.

Note: The second blueprint simply makes a Demoman's secondary weapon; the Loch-n-Load is the guaranteed result when using the "Craft Demoman Secondary Weapon" blueprint.

- This weapon was given a unique kill icon, but for unknown reasons was not implemented.
- This weapon's kill icon is now used.

Bugs
- The grenades fired by this weapon retain the Grenade Launcher's detonation timer. As such, grenades fired by the Loch-n-Load will explode after remaining in the air for a certain period of time.
- The Loch-n-Load uses the same reload animation as the Grenade Launcher, making it appear as if the Demoman is not actually putting the grenades in the barrel but dropping them off the side.
- Grenades fired bounce off certain dynamic surfaces such as the moving walkways of Nucleus, as well as teammates.
- In the view model, the sight has been moved up the barrel, and is therefore not properly clipped into the correct position.
- Both grenades are reloaded in the bottom barrel, but both are fired from the top barrel.
- For whatever reason, the Loch-n-Load does not show up in the Mann Co Catalog.
Trivia
- The Loch-n-Load's name is a word play on the phrase "lock and load", a slang military command to prepare firearms for battle. The word "loch" is the Scottish word for "lake", and is a reference to bodies of water such as Template:W in Scotland.
- As with the Grenade Launcher, the Loch-n-Load seems to be based on the M79 Grenade Launcher except it has been modified so that it has two barrels.
- The original crafting recipe for this weapon was 2 Reclaimed Metal + 1 Scottish Resistance. However, since the March 15, 2011 Patch, this has been changed to its current recipe.
