Sounds good to me, I would use this alot if it were in game...

hmm i think it should allso lower the players health by 25
because so far it sounds a little op

I think it should work just like a holiday punch

My idea
+50% damage
Critical hits forces players to laugh
critical hits do 50% less damge
-25% firing speed

now that's balanced

+ 30% Knockback given(to enemies)
+ Can be lit on fire by friendly Pyros
+ Crit on Hit if the rag is lit on fire
- 30% damage penalty
- 20% equip speed
- Can be extinguish by enemy pyros if Rag is lit

Something like the Scorch Shot but Melee. Also, it looks like a glove strapped on the end of a stick.

It also needs the "No Random Crits", and a slower firing speed (But only slightly)
Of course, it's up to Valve.

i like the original but just decrease health by 15 the it's fair..the pyro takes alot of damage

Maybe for original stats, -60% damage when not on fire? Kinda like other jokey weapons, like the Holiday Punch or the Wrap Assassin.

There should be a funny eyelander-ish taunt for this weapon. I imagine Pyro whacking his opponent in the face with this weapon. xD

+ 37% range
+ 10% more damage
! critz stuns enemy
- slower fireing speed
-

Alt-Fire: Activate "Whack"
+Dealing bullet and melee damage charges the "Whack" meter (200 damage required to fill)
-40% damage against players

During "Whack":
-50% slower firing speed
+140% damage bonus

It sounds a little underpowered, but as a Shotgun Pyro... I'd use it. :P

Also, on successful kill, it puts their head in their chest. Like the Frontier Justice taunt.

Seems legit

no random crits
can be set on fire like the huntsman
+25% range
-20% attack shpeed

Pros:
+50% bullet resistance when in use
+100% flame resistance when in use
+25% explosive resistance when in use
+10% melee range
Cons:
-25 HP on user when equipted
-15% movement speed when in use
+80% volunerablility to all melee sources
(basically a revirsed power-jack, and some what of a Fists of Steel for pyro)

I'd say -25% firing speed
-10-20% damage, not sure
Rag can be lit on fire by anything that can light arrows
Crits when on fire, but burns away after around 10 seconds
Fire vulnerability when held -40%
