alfaThe pistol didn't have spread in the old tf2 days so it's not really a new thing, it used to be 100% accurate wherever you shot. Valve just made it not 100% acc in 2012-2013.

This is just false, cmon Alfa. As a TF2 veteran you should know the lore. Pistol always had spread.

In 2009 they added tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads 1 (which affected just shotgun/scatter spread) and tf_damage_disablespread (which removed damage variance).
There was a small window in maybe 2013 or 2014 where the pistol didn't have spread. This is hidden lore and no one seems to remember the pistol being perfect for a few weeks. The fixed spread was removed in the next patch.
