Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23

The Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 is a new buildable Wonder Weapon that first appears in the Zombie exploration mode TranZit. Also called the Jet Gun, it is made out of a jet turbine, spool of wire, a gauge and a motorcycle handbrake. It works by sucking zombies towards it and then gibbing them in its rotors. The Jet Gun, however, can be broken, unlike other Wonder Weapons. The left dial on the Jet Gun determines when it will break. When the pointer reaches the complete other side in the red section, the weapon will break. However, when the Jet Gun is held out and not fired, the pointer will slowly move back towards the left, allowing it to be used more.

Once the weapon breaks, the parts will be scattered around the player who was using it; if any part falls into the lava, it will return to the place where it was originally found. But if any part is ran over by the bus, it will disappear completely and will not return to the place it was originally found. Instead it can not be found for the remainder of the game.

Trivia

 * This is the first Wonder Weapon not professionally built by Group 935 or any other group, instead created from scrap by the survivors.
 * As such, it is also the first buildable Wonder Weapon and the first breakable Wonder Weapon.
 * The Jet Gun counts as equipment and not as a regular weapon. Due to this it cannot be Pack-A-Punched and does not yield points to the player using it. Kills with the Jet gun count however.
 * The player can use the Jet Gun in midair to hover above the ground for a limited amount of time.
 * As seen above there is an unused menu icon hidden in files.
 * The Jet Gun can also be cooled down faster by a turbine.
 * The Jet Gun can pull nearby drops towards the user.
 * The Jet Gun is the counterpart to the Thundergun, as it sucks in zombies, rather than blowing them away.
 * Like the Ray Gun and the Thundergun appearing in the campaign of their debuts games, many fans believe that the Jet Gun also appears in the campaign as an easter egg.
