To everyone that thinks the Loch-n-Load having 3 grenades is a silly error that makes 0 sense and needs to be corrected imperatively:


The Loch-n-Load was created taking inspiration from the M79 and the China Lake grenade launchers, as some kind of hybrid between the two.

The M79 is single-shot (it has to reload for every shot), but the China Lake - the one the LnL takes its double-tube design element from (AKA the main reason people take issue with the current 3-grenade mag) - has a magazine that can hold 3 + 1 grenades (it got upgraded to 4 + 1 in the 2000's but that's way after TF2's time period).


If you're really intent on "fixing" the issue that the gun has 2 barrels for 3 projectile when it used to have 2 to match - despite the fact the 3 projectiles have real-world basis - do so respecting what the gun is designed after instead of making it unrecognizable.

The China Lake's lower "barrel" is closed off and serves as the weapon's magazine. It's where the grenades are put into before getting fired from the top barrel. Coincidentally, the LnL reloading animation only puts grenades in the bottom barrel and fires only from the top barrel.

All it would take is to close off the lower barrel to "fix" the gun's inconsistency while actually respecting its design.
Why tunnel vision on needing an extra barrel to match the current projectile amount instead of the issue that it only fires from 1 barrel anyway so what's the point of having a second?

By doing so, you keep the visual design intact (if anything, it's now more accurate to its inspiration). Instead of butchering "fixing" it into something that barely has any real basis on any weapon, losing its sleek sawed-off shotgun-like type of grenade launcher design and furthermore making it lose its identity among the other Demo weapons by turning it into a bland, bootleg Iron Bomber-Stock in-between with the tacked-on rotating barrel.

It might as well be a different weapon at this point.
