What is an effective way to use the Sandman in TF2?

Question

I recently unlocked the Sandman for the Scout and have been using it but I don't really see the advantages. The -15 health does not seem to make up for the fact that I am just able to stun a player for just a few seconds. Is the Sandman only used to make a quick get-away or is it used effectively in combat?

Answer

I use it a lot for things like

  • Stunning an engineer who is hammering on a turret, usually while we have an uber going to take it out.
  • Firing it into groups of people during a big firefight and helping my team by stunning one of the players in the fight
  • Smacking heavies who are shooting with it, then running up on them and popping shots into them.
  • Stunning anyone guarding a flag that I want to pick up

There are more uses than that but, that is my main usage of it. I've found it pretty useful in certain circumstances.
