FAQs
"Omg, this weapon should do XYZ!!"

The stats for the weapon are decided by Valve if it gets accepted, not me. Feel free to suggest ideas, but Valve might pay more attention to stat suggestions on the official forums.

"Aren't revolvers for Spies?"

I originally wanted to make a Wild West styled revolver for the Engineer, but I realized it would get easily confused with Spy weapons. The ammunition belt/sentry mechanism sets it apart from the Spy's revolvers and allows the gun to have a similar clip size and fire rate as the regular Engineer pistol, so there won't any major problems making stats if it gets ingame.

"Why is this weapon called the Twenty-Six Shooter if pistols only hold 12 bullets?"

It's wordplay. Wild West revolvers are called six shooters, so my weapon's called the Twenty-Six Shooter because it's a revolver that holds a ridiculously large amount of bullets.

"Omg, this weapon should have X taunt/animation!!!"

It would take a lot of work to create a custom taunt/reload animation, and I have no experience with animating. Even if this item did have animations, there's no guarantee that Valve would use the animations in the final item, since very few custom animations and taunts submitted to the workshop have been added to the game.

"How to get FREE!!! Earbuds in Team Fortress 2 @ notascam.com!!!"

Stop posting spam links on my workshop items, or I will find you.

Question, if the pistol has a built in automatic reloading magazine then why would it need to be reloaded with another magazine?

It's not reloading magazines, it's replacing batteries, because the entire mechanism runs on electricity. This way, the model still works with the Engineer's reloading animations.

Look again in the screenshots, it's reloaded with a battery.

This weapon looks really good! If I had to guess at stats, I'd say increased RoF + more ammo in the chamber (maybe more damage?), traded off with a slower reload time and/or greater spread.
