Shoot with crowbar

Use the following steps to use the crowbar to shoot bullets from the chaingun or flame from a pyro. Change your class to an HW or Pyro. Then, use up all your ammo from your chaingun or flamethrower. After wasting all the ammo, get out the crowbar and hold the Right Mouse Button (or whatever displays your special ability menu) and run over a pack of ammo. You should now be able to shoot with your crowbar.

Keep same number of rounds after switching weapons

Start a multi-player game and get the heavy weapons character. Have your Gatlin Gun ready and get ready to switch your gun. Have the gun that you want, ready then hold the Left Mouse Button for three seconds. You will hear the gun rotate. The gun you selected will have the same ammunition that the other gun. This also gives you an extra 192 shots with the shotguns.
