TF2 takes place in the 1960s. Both of those guns were designed after the 60s.

They didn't have teleportation technology in the 60's.

Think of this.
Texans with Robot Hands building Giant Turrets shooting 50 Caliber Cartridges, with teleporting devices, ammo and health dispensers that provide perpetual resources, French people with cloaking devices, devices that fake your own death, 8 feet Russian Men holding gigantic Miniguns the average man can't carry, Boston teenagers with Radioactive soda and milk, a Double Barreled Shotgun that propels you upward when shot downward, Germans with healing devices that will never be created, saws that increase your rape meter with every hit, and an awesome Australian man who is the 6th richest person in America who makes weapons with unreal capabilities and eats breakfast steaks, and yells "SAXTON HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAALE" while jumping from helicopters.

Yeah. All of this stuff was designed after the 1960s.

No it doesn't. The art style stems from 1960's spy stuff, but the game doesn't take place in any particular year.

WOAH, BACK UP A MINUTE.

Shotgun barrels are rifled?

I though pistol and rifle barrels were the only ones rifled.

Some are. You can buy either smooth bore or rifled barrels for shotguns. It's intended to be used with shotgun slugs, for hunting (in MI you can only hunt with shotguns).

'Kay. I'm glad I took hunter safety. Also, shotguns don't fire shells packed with metal shot? I find that untrue, unless you're referring to a slug.

Need moar shotgun range?

barrel choke lolol

You can buy either shotgun slugs or shotgun shot such as birdshot or buckshot. You can use either shells with smooth bore, but that drops the slugs range and accuracy drastically, but you can ONLY use slugs with a rifled barrel (I mean, you can potentially use shot but it damages the rifling).

Your point? None of the guns are real, it's not historically accurate, why do you care?

Also has there ever existed a man-portable minigun? It seems like that would be immensely heavy.
