Team Fortress 2 is Valve's class based multiplayer shooter released in 2007, where the Scottish Demoman relies on explosive weapons including his stock Grenade Launcher. Its distinctive reload and handling noises became familiar through years of gameplay, machinima and montage videos shared online. This close drum sound survived as a standalone clip because players recognise the launcher instantly from its mechanical click alone. It remains popular in edits and soundboards alongside other classic shooter effects, long after the game's original release on PC.
