The Spy kill-taunt left handed?

The Spy holds his knife and firearms with his right hand but he taunt-kills with his left (the whole "Cornish game-hen" bit).

Pointless thread. Just thought it was peculiar.

That's because killing people with your non-dominant hand is more humiliating.

The Spy is ambidextrous, in case he ever needs to disguise as a left-handed person.

I know a couple fencers/martial artists whose dominant hand is not the one they use to attack. I myself am right-handed, but fight noticeably better in a left-handed position. It isn't that uncommon tbh.

All the classes are ambidextrous (reverse viewmodels)

I've taken a few kendo and fencing lessons as well and the dominant hand isn't always best. In most forms of swordplay your dominant hand is better suited to counter balance your body while non dominant guide's the weapon. With a two handed weapon it's a bit more obvious. The dominant hand is bit better suited for blunt force type attacks rather than precise movements. The same is true for a bow and arrow dominant provides the force and holds the arrow while the other acts as the guide.
