The Mortardom is a mortar launcher, with the ground grips now twisted and reshaped to fit for shoulder-houlstered use. The launcher is a large metal tube, the metal coloured the team colour and decorated with yellow stripes. Black ash marks are around the barrel.

Hey there Jimmy! What you doing?
Playing Demoman? Good choice there. Go get em’ Jimmy!
…What’s that? You’re only using the sticky bomb launcher! Ooh, people don’t like it when you do that.
Jimmy, why not use the grenade launcher as well?
…What’s that? It’s too hard to use? Doesn’t do enough damage? Well then, why not try this weapon instead!
…What is it? It’s the Mortardom! The same kind of mortar launcher they used in the pacific islands during World War II!
How it works is it shoots mortar shells at your enemies, blowing them to smitheereens!
…Why do you want to use this instead of the grenade launcher, Jimmy? Well, I’m glad you asked.
This launcher has a much straighter, much smoother projectile arc, similar to the Pyro’s flare gun. Neat, eh?
…That’s right, Jimmy! It also does that little bit more damage, so you can nail some of the bigger bullies out there in less time!
So why don’t you head on over to the local war museum and steal your very own Mortardom?
…Damn straight, Jimmy! Damn straight.

Taunts: The Demoman lays the launcher on the ground, shoots a mortar shell directly upwards, laughs for a bit, then picks it back up. Five seconds later, the shell will drop back down and explode, instantly killing any enemies.

Notes:
Removes that nasty projectile arc for some extra firepower. It’s actually more like a rocket launcher for the Demoman.
I never found the grenade launcher to be useful unless it was in direct combat, in which the arc made it more difficult to hit enemies and the amount of damage didn’t help much either. So I made this. WUNDERBAR.
You may wonder why detonating on impact is a bad thing. Well, with the grenade launcher, you can clear out a room by shooting all your grenades in there. You can even do this just by shooting up and into a window. If they detonate on impact, they will not roll around or be at an arc, so you can’t clear out enemy positions as efficiently as usual.
And smaller clip size because your two mortars need to hit their mark – reduce spamming and all that. Cus I hate that. :P

Basic Version:
= The Mortardom does 120% damage compared to the grenade launcher.
= The mortars fly at an arc similar to the flare gun.
= The mortars do not roll around if they miss – they will detonate as soon as they hit anything.
= The Mortardom has a clip size of 2, compared to the grenade launcher’s clip size of 4.
= This weapon has a taunt kill. Taunting with the Mortardom launches a powerful mortar into the air. Five seconds later, it will fall and detonate, killing any enemies in the blast radius instantly. This does not work indoors.
