Iron Bomber vs Stock grenade launcher

[Supremium]

Watch TooftyTV's video on this topic for more fax and logic, I can't link it here for some reason
This is a question for the ages (I'm a demomain)
Both are undeniably good, but which is better for a larger variety of situations?
I prefer stock
A:because it can be shot around corners and i like the sound better
B:I bought an Australium stock grenade launcher so I'm not swapping to iron bomber even if it is better

Iron Bomber is just plain not respectable. I used it for ages thinking I knew how to play demoman before realizing that aiming pipes takes skill.

Good for exterminating normies and snipers to be an all around meme demo but as a legit weapon nah

i have an iron bomber skin and not a pipe bomb skin so i use the iron bomber

theres not really a difference. one lets you pipe bomb jump, other has better range

I don't like the Iron Bomber. It's a boring, and questionable "sidegrade".

At least the Loose Cannon is interesting and experimental.

Sometimes a boring sidegrade can make a good weapon

The Iron Bomber is only a good weapon because the stock option is a good weapon. The Iron Bomber is almost a reskin.

I used to use only grenade launcher but then I realized it's easier to kill people with spam from the iron bomber. And 4 pipes is enough for people who can actually aim too, as it only takes 3 to kill a heavy from full hp.

It's roller technique is a different dynamic completely what are you talking about

Ah yes, rollers. What I use to kill my enemies in the video game Team Fortress 2. I won't dare touch those signicantly more reliable "direct hits".

The only practical difference is that it makes grenade jumping easier. However, there's a dozen more interesting options when it comes to mobility for Demoman.

I like the iron bomber better, the explosipn rafius nerf only matters when you hit multiple people but having a missed pipe become a sticky is great for when you fight in small areas

I'm talking particularly about ricocheting off walls against sentry guns that are pointed towards you

Original tf2 trailer demoman idea was that he ricocheted his bombs off walls actually and he also had a dynamite stick which would be epic, I can't link it because I'm on mobile
I know, the original idea for demo wasn't a bootlegger stickyspam demo or a demoknight,it was a class for strategically placing bombs to eliminate enemy gamers from existence

[trash]

bomber is for fake fans that should go back to using a shield
