If you find a dispenser unprotected by a sentry it is unlikely the engy will be there so you might as well use any other weapon on it. IMO making a building destroying melee weapon wasn't really smart, unless the creator did it on purpose to balance the weapon's effectiveness. I know I shouldn't be saying any of this when I don't even have the weapon yet but I'll take a closer look at it's effectiveness when I do get it.
Apparently you have forgot about ubers. A few months back, the server I regularly play on had a bunch of clan-members that were doing class rushes for the hell of it. We got to sniper. 13 snipers, 1 medic. 2 of my friends were on as well (1 was the medic). My friend got ubered (as sniper, if you already forgot that part) and proceeded to take down 2 sentries and a dispenser, along with a couple guys,
with the kukri. Now imagine what a pyro could do with a melee weapon that does double damage.
