I saw this happen last night, and I tried again in another server and got the same thing.  But if you guys destroy a building (both times it was a dispenser, maybe try that?) with the ÜBERSAW, does the game use the BONESAW icon instead for you?  With other items/kills, it shows the Übersaw icon, but with this it showed the Bonesaw for some reason.

i think it's because you cant drain blood/uber from a building ?

(quite logic tbh)

this could be because of the fact that hitting a building doesn't raise your Uber bar and that shows that they could just count it as a bonesaw hit to shortcut around doing any real work to fix the bug.

It happens with the Axtingisher too, since it shows the Fire Axe instead of the Axtinguisher one. I wonder if this happens with the K.G.B. - Fists also?

Well, I know that I get no charge from building destruction - and that crit weapons do no crit damage to buildings, but my concern was just that it was showing the wrong weapon I used.  I submitted this to Valve as a bug, but so far in the 5 or so bugs I made mention of, 0 have been addressed.  It's nothing critical, just a "whoopsy-daisy" thing.

I know, I wasn't complaining that I don't get crits with the Axtinguisher on buildings, only it doesn't show the right icon in the top right.

No, I know you weren't Wernstrum, I just felt I had to clarify myself that "Icon = Wrong" is basically what I meant.

I still think it would be a neat feature if when you die by CRIT fire from a weapon, that icon would blink over and over.  That would be neat to know who died by critical damage.
