How close do I have to be to get mini-crits with the BackScatter?
Scout's new primary, the Backscatter, proports to do Mini-Crit damage when shots are made to the back and at close-range.

So far, I've gotten plenty of mini-crit experience from backshots, but not once have I seen a mini-crit occur when up-close and in a person's face.
How close do you have to be to get a non-backshot mini-crit with the Backscatter as the Scout?
Edit: It is possible that the "and" here means you must be behind AND close to your opponent, rather than one or the other. If this is true, and can be confirmed, I'd like to know how close one needs to be to get mini-crit damage from behind.

How do you get the backscatter in tf2?
Single-shot weapons, such as the Shotgun, Revolver, and the Rocket Launcher, determine the chance to critical hit with every shot. Thus, every shot of the Shotgun will have a 2% chance to launch a flurry of critical pellets, assuming no previous damage done.How do you get crits in tf2?
As a trade-off, it sports 34% fewer rounds per clip (leaving 4 shots before needing to reload), a 20% greater bullet spread, and an inability to deal random critical hits....Back ScatterContributed by:Sparkwire Druida Rain\u21afReleased:June 18, 2014 Patch (Love & War Update)23 more rowsTF2 - Minigun mini-crits Exploit
