I've taken out sentries with the syringe gun and the sub-machine gun. The pistol does nothing worth mentioning. I only brought it up because of the silly tips comment.
So far your argument has done nothing to sway me. Yeah, scouts do big damage at close range. That's the point. At a long range I stand more chance against a heavy as a soldier than I do as a scout. Which isn't to mention that if the scout gets hit at close range, he's hurting a lot more than anybody else.
I also ask you to define 'afar,' since in my experience the scattergun loses any real effectiveness beyond fifteen or twenty feet.
