Why does everyone keep calling them boats? They're GunBOOTS. Obviously. They are boots.
Thus, Gunboots.

The name of the item is gunBOATS. BOATS.

They finally made it so that direct hit doesn't mini-crit jumping people. I am very happy.

I'm confused, so it now no longer minicrits at all?

It mini-crits people who have been thrown up by explosions. Rocket jumping soldiers, sticky jumping demos, and if you're skilled, people you make fly up with your rockets and then blow them out of the sky.

That seems like a horrible horrible nerf. I thought the idea was to allow you to get better damage if you hit anyone airborne. If I was going to change it at all I'd of made it so you need to score a direct hit to minicrit rather than allowing you to get it with blast damage.

EDIT: I really wish I had some idea of how to make models and stuff, I just had an awesome idea for a Pyro hat! A tiara which has as decoration fake flames coming up out it in a similar way to the spikey bits you get on some. It fits in with the whole pyro/fire theme and also flirts with the theory that the pyro is a girl.

EDIT2: What I mean is A) what do you think of the idea, genuinely good or am I blinded to its flaws? And B) Anyone know any good tutorials on how to make and texture these models?

[Siquo]

The pyro is the most male character of them all. The scout's probably a girl though. And the HWG's guns certainly are.

[Myroc]

The pyro shouldn't have a hat that looks like fire. The pyro should have a hat that IS fire.

[Jreengus]

That was the original idea but AFAIK none of the hats are currently animated so the tiara idea grew out of that.

[Jakkarra]

I doubt an animated hat would be much bother, As long as it's filesize is around that of other hats, i don't see why it would not be accepted.

 So the Direct Hit won't minicrit scouts jumping over you from one shipping containet to another? Moot point as it would kill them without the minicrit, but humor me here. Sounds like a perfect situation for a minicrit.

Because their name is the Gunboats. Just look at the page on the website with the humorous tale of the invention of stairs.

[Sensei]

I got a Hadoken kill.

I fell awesome.

...and I'm serious about the kart thing, when I get some time I may put some genuine work towards it. And yeah, I too was thinking the heavy would have a tricycle.

[PTTG??]

Why does everyone spell it wrong? It's Gunboots. Because, they are boots, and like all things, they can only be improved by the addition of guns. Hence, gunboots.

Well why are they called the GUNboats? They are boots not guns!

[zchris13]

Yeah man Gunboats is totally a type of boat with a bunch of guns strapped to it.  Like a fishing trawler.  With guns.  Not some stupid pair of boots.  Why did valve make such an egregious mistake?

[Eduren]

Well some people have hacked up a version of Source Film Maker. This gives video quality only before seen in Valve's "Meet the __" videos.

Some examples:

But their official name is Gunboats. Why do people even call Nike's Nike's anyway? They're shoes.

Because they are made for a goddess.
