The Demoman is frightened by the sight of a naked Heavy.

The Demoman (full name Demolitions Man) is a black, Scottish cyclops with an explosion fetish.

He's also a self-proclaimed meme for the Chewiki.

Cultural Heritage: Ullapool, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland, United Kingdom

How The Demoman Came To Be

The guy that made the original Team Fortress was high on dope one day, so he hired a Scottish Will Smith to fire a grenade launcher and blow people up. Thus, the Demoman was born.

Arsenal

• Grenade Launcher: Fires 4 grenades before needing a reload, yet it can hold six at once. That's pretty fucking gay.
• Stickybomb Launcher: Fires up to 8 grenades which stick to surfaces, which then can be detonated remotely just by him thinking about it.
• Bottle: Once held scrumpy. Now only holds the Demoman's tears, and possibly urine. Oh, did I mention he might break it over your skull?

Update

• Chargin' Targe: This shield allows you to charge toward your enemies while giving you a temporary critical boost and allowing you to bash or slice off the head of your foe. Replaces the Stickybomb Launcher.
• Scottish Resistance: Allows you to tactically detonate sticky grenades, but most Demos won't care since they're too busy trying to stickyspam with the regular sticky-launcher or trying to chop them down with a Targe/Sword combo. Replaces the Stickybomb Launcher.
• Eyelander: Totally not a reference to Highlander, you become faster and stronger with each kill. No, there can never be only one, not as long as every Demoman out there is wielding this unbalanced piece of shit. Replaces the Bottle.
• Sticky Jumper: If the Soldier gets a no-damage Rocket Launcher for jump practice, why shouldn't the Demoman get something similar? As its name suggests, it's primarily for practicing Sticky Jumps and deals no damage at all. Incoming jump maps without health kits! Replaces the Stickybomb Launcher.
• Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker: A haunted axe similar to the Eyelander crafted from haunted metal taken from the game's only boss character to date: The Horseless Headless Horsemann. Replaces the Bottle.
• Nessie's Nine Iron: The Demoman gets stereotypical (kind of) by whacking off the heads of his enemies with this golf club. Fore! Wait...golf...bludgeoning people...what will the Sniper say? Anyway, works the same as the Eyelander and replaces the Bottle.

Community

• Pain Train: A makeshift club made from a discarded Axtinguisher handle and an iron railroad spike, which inexplicably increases the wielder's capture rate. The Soldier can also wield this weapon. Replaces the Bottle.
• Scotsman's Skullcutter: An axe that slows you down but deals more damage. What is this game becoming, fucking World of Warcraft? Replaces the Bottle.
• Loch-n-load: The skilled Demoman's choice. This baby fires fast grenades that cause huge damage on enemies, but break harmlessly on anything else. To add to the skill, only two grenades can be fired before reloading. Replaces the Grenade Launcher.
• Ullapool Caber: A Mann Co stick grenade. Any other man would throw it but the Demoman's constant intoxication makes him just hit people with it. Every time the Demoman hits, the Caber's head explodes injuring himself or both him and an enemy if present. Replaces the Bottle.
• Claidheamh-Mor: Similar to the Eyelander but doesn't keep a head count. Be prepared to take frequent trips to the Resupply Cabinet. Replaces the Bottle.
• Half-Zatoichi: Don't pull this katana out when you don't need it, because you can't swap to another weapon until you make a kill with this one. The Soldier can also use this...wait...are they just gonna battle sword to sword rather than capping the intelligence? Anywho, replaces the Bottle.
• Splendid Screen: Does the same job as the Targe, but the shield bash hurts at ANY POSSIBLE RANGE, in trade for weaker resistance. Replaces the Stickybomb Launcher.
• Persian Persuader: Recharges your shield charge faster than normal and all ammo collected turns to health. Bad news for Demomen who prefer to have at least one explosives weapon in their loadout. Replaces the Bottle.
• Ali Baba's Wee Booties: To make up for that crushing defeat against the BLU Soldier, here's some shoes with the ability to TURN while charging! Best keep your head down, provided he hasn't chopped it off already. Replaces the Grenade Launcher.

Promotion

• Frying Pan: Given to anyone who bought Left 4 Dead 2 before October 7th 2010 and anyone who already owns Left 4 Dead 2, this item is just a...frying pan, originally used for the purpose of beating zombies to death and making breakfast. Now makes breakfast and provides one of the most humiliating deaths possible! The Soldier can also use this weapon. Replaces the Bottle. Amusingly, the Demoman attempts to drink from the frying pan when taunting

Event

• Saxxy: Only a select few received this coveted statuette of good old Saxton said to have been carved by King Midas/Sauron specially for the Saxxy Awards replay contest. Now MORE people are turning their enemies into gold and holding bragging rights! Replaces the Bottle.

Special Note: When the Demoman wields the Loch-n-Load and the Ullapool Caber together, he's more resistant to fire. Cue angry Pyros.
