The Postal Pummeler is a community-made melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a violently uprooted, olive colored mailbox with the number 606 painted on the side. This weapon is exactly the same as the Axtinguisher except for a different kill icon. It has an ability to deal guaranteed critical hits on foes that are burning from behind, at the cost of doing just 50% of the normal damage on non-burning enemies. The Postal Pummeler is only meant to be used on players that aren't Pyros since Pyros in TF2 are completely invulnerable to Afterburn. It is best used with the Backburner, due to its ability to deal guaranteed critical hits, or the Degreaser, which has a faster weapon switch, and a shorter period where players can't use weapons after switching. Players can use the Postal Pummeler more effectively when they switch quickly before their target gets out of range. Hitting players that are on fire from the front does mini-crit damage (88).
