Mutton chops are epic looking on the soldier. As for the new soldier weapons;
The Righteous Bison seems very meh... I don't see the penetration ever being used to its fullest (team fight in the turbine vents, that's about it?) and it's not hitscan? Why would this be used over the shotgun?
The Cow Mangler 5000 seems overpowered on paper but I'd like to play with it before really being sure. From what I've heard you move very slowly when charging so it sounds like it wouldn't be useful for encounters you are already in, but just spamming areas from afar.. so that doesn't sound... too bad... Ignoring the charge shot though it's the normal rocket launcher with one extra rocket and has infinite ammo? I've learned to not depend on crits so I'm not really seeing a downside, especially since demos are usually used for sentry clearing anyway.

The bison is actually pretty sweet :V a normal hit will hit 3 times and it has almost non existent fall off so at long range you always do over 10 damage and it usually hits 3 times and if the enemy is backpeddaling or turning they will get hit even more *hit a backpeddaling scoot for at least 7 hits :V* and its the only laser gun that can crit so it has even more of a sting, it also has a fast reload aswell.

Reflecting lasers with compression blasts back at Soldiers: PRICELESS!
There's some things Refined metal can't buy. For everything else, there's a Pyro saying FU to physics.

Well, you forget these are infallible aether modulators. The pyro's airblast also reflects aether modulations.
