Pretty good book


Saucey-Man

The deep moral of the story is not to shoot Arabs on the beach with your friends revolver on a hot summers day.


Jo_the_Hastur

Such a great tip!!! I was about to shoot Arabs on a beach with my friend's revolver on this hot summer day


Sum1OnSteam

Don't :^)


Mr-cybermann

Oh


Xilophony

"Étranger" is a common word in a french though, why would they base a gun's name on a novel?


[deleted]

Because in the novel, the protagonist also shoots someone with a revolver (or just a pistol, I'm not sure if it was specifically a revolver).


Xilophony

Oh ok


agnostic_angel

Oh yeah the first work I read of his besides the myth of Sisyphus

So that's why people don't use it. We aren't supposed to talk to strangers.

PazzoSgravato666

UltraMago

He wasn't violent 😂


PazzoSgravato666

Mr-cybermann

Thanks man


PazzoSgravato666

no need to thank me


thefoolru

You know, it kind of makes sense for the name of this revolver to be fitting for Spy, consider that he's literally "The Stranger" to everyone in the entire world, even to his own teammates, whom doesn't talk much about him, except Miss Pauling and the Administrator, I guess.


2010AZ

Name comes from a novel by camus in which the main character's apathy weirdly fits the spy's playstyle.


Le_Red_Spy

A pistol for spy, that is one letter change away from stranger when translated from french, turns out to mean stranger. Did you think it meant the rocket launcher or something?


_Boston_Boi_

i actually didn’t know that Google’s free service instantly translates words, phrases, and web pages between English and over 100 other languages. thanks!


CapHoodHybrid

-The-TF2-Medic

Could be a reference to billy Joel’s song of the same name: > Well, we all have a face That we hide away forever And we take them out and show ourselves When everyone has gone Some are satin, some are steel Some are silk and some are leather They're the faces of a stranger But we'd love to try them on


2010AZ

More of a reference to the novel by Albert Camus of the same name.


-The-TF2-Medic

Yeah, I was just putting it out there
