This is not an stat change, but i thought to myself this idea.
Whenever you equip the Tinpot (without holding it in your hands.)
It is an hat on your head. Like the Roblox hat.But, when you get it in your hands. It shows an little animation taking it off your head. This wouldn't be an nerf. Because the tinpot already has an animation while you take it out.
This was my third suggestion, please do not be suprised if i did something wrong.
