The Sandvich
The sandvich is a secondary weapon (sort of) for the Heavy Weapons Guy, who is commonly refereed to as the Heavy. It is the peak of perfection in edible delights, sure to make everyone around you awe at the amazing food that is the Sandvich. Upon a rapturous consumption, activated by mouse 1, the Heavy will regain all lost hitpionts over a period of four seconds. But alas! The Heavy has no way to defend himself during this brief period of devouring, and is vulnerable to attacks. Many a Heavy have died due to misuse of the sandvich.

As well as healing yourself, the sandvich can be dropped on the ground (mouse 2) for your teammates to enjoy! Everyone will thank you for the wonderful experience of consuming this exceptional entree. But watch out! those nasty thieves on the other team are eager to get their hands on your delicious treat, and will go as far as to kill you to steal it. If you die whilst holding it, the sandvich will fall to the ground for anyone lucky enough to happen across it. Will you stand for this? Of course not! That is why you should read the rest of the guide.
When to eat, and Where
Although the sandvich is scrumptious anywhere and at anytime, there are certain circumstances in which it proves the best time to settle down and have a snack. Let's look at some examples. After clearing a point of hardy foes using his superior might, your average Heavy started munching directly in the center of the point. He was immediately hit by a rocket, headshot, and then to finish it off, backstabbed. Seriously, what was he thinking? Moving on, we have a Heavy that read this guide before proceeding to the fight. After his enemies were felled, he looked for shelter before allowing himself to be consumed by the joy of the sandvich.

Now, what if there were enemies lurking about, and no time to seek shelter? Why, then you must first move out of the view of any snipers monitoring the area, and put your back to the wall as to foil the plans of any traitorous spies. Then you should be at your safest while you consume your layered lunch. Don't forget that putting allies between you and those who wish harm is as good a defense as any.

'But sir,' I hear you ask, 'what if one of those masked monsters lights me ablaze?' Well, the sandvich comes with a pitcher of water (not really) to put out any fires that may be bothering you. But if you fear that the flames may take you before you are safe, don't be afraid to quickly take a few bites of your sandvich, even if you are out in the open. Better unsafe than dead, Eh?
Sharing the Joy
The secondary function of the sanvich allows it to be dropped on the ground for others to enjoy. At the press of a button (mouse 2), you will toss the sandvich, allowing your buddies to be healed. But don't waste your one-of-a-kind delight on someone very near full health. The first person that deserves your sandvich is any doctor kind enough to be healing you. That fine chap doesn't deserve to burn to death! Allow him to share in the euphoric consumption of the sandvich, as well as not die. But your kindness is not limited to Medics; others should be able to experience the sandvich as well. Give your sandvich to front line classes next, such as the Soldier, Scout, Pyromaniac, Demolitionist, and other Heavies. But if there's no one else worthy of your stacked snack around, Spies, Snipers, and Engineers may be able to put to use your lunch. And although it is often a good idea to share, don't pass up the opportunity to eat the sandvich yourself. Everyone needs a treat once in a while!
The Subtypes of the Sandvich
This guide has talked in depth about the Sandvich Edible Device, but has neglected to mention of the other Sandviches- until now.

The Breadless Buffalo Steak Sandvich

This Sandvich, upon consumption, will grant the eater more powerful blows, known by the Proffetional Boxing Association as mini-crits. It is said that the victims of said mini-crits feel 35% extra pain. By virtue of the caffeine injections given to the buffalo before hand, the buffalo steak sandvich gives whomever eats it a speed boost. Since it only increases the strength of individual, guns wont be any more effective. Being the wise man that he is, the Heavy will only use melee attacks while under the effects. It is worth noting that said effects only last a total of 15 seconds before the user returns to normal.

The buffalo steak sandvich is most effective when about to turn a corner into a confined area, where enemies lurk and where you can reach them quickly. The buffalo steak sandvich goes particularly well with the Heavy's boxing gloves, the killing gloves of boxing. First, use the sandvich to gain mini-crits and speed, then rush a clump of enemies. The sandvich will make it much easier to down one of the foes, which will give you full crits for 5 seconds. As long as you kill one of them every 5 seconds afterwards, you shall be able to wipe them out with great speed.

The Dakolohs Bar

This chocolate bar is very different from the other sandviches. It grants the eater an extra 50 max health for 30 seconds upon consumption, as well as healing the Heavy for a little bit if he is damaged. But what makes it so great? You don't have to wait for it to recharge before you can eat it again! As long as you find a safe place to munch each time, you can be a Heavy with 350 max health! However, unlike the other sandviches, it cannot be dropped on the ground to heal your friends. You'll want to eat this every time you find yourself about to proceed into combat, as to grant you a little extra safety.

One tip as a frequent sandvich consumer ! while you eat, use a voice command like yes! or no!, it cancels out the OM NOM NOM NOM sound and make you less notice able, it cuts off the audio cue, it's called sandvich masking

Thanks!

Honestly, this is the best guide I have ever read.

About the Buffalo Steak, you should also add the Iron Fists or however they're called on the buffalo, as it negates those 35% less protection.
