The Cow Mangler certainly has...interesting stats. Like the other laser weapons, the Cow Crusher does not require any ammo. You also get a charged shot that takes a few second to build, and fires a laser that mini crits lights players on fire, and disabls buildings for 4 seconds. Leading into the downside of doing 20% less damage to buildings and not getting random crits, or any crits at all.

The Bovine Basher is a bit of a hard weapon to talk about, since its basically just stock. The only thing you really can talk about is that charged shot.

The charged shot is alright, I guess. It's just a mini crit rocket, so it does around 122 to 151 damage. The afterburn does 3 damage per tick, going to a total of 36. So about 6 damage per second, for 6 seconds. Afterburn will do 4 damage per tick if the target is marked for death, so about 48 damage. So if everything goes right and the person doesn't use one of the 87 ways to get rid of afterburn, you do a maxium of 187 damage, 199 if the target was marked for death. I see most people going for the charge shot when a bunch of people are in one place, like a control point. This may seem like a good idea, but its probably just better to use 4 normal rockets. Your medium range rockets do around 70 damage, so sending four of those on the point is probably better than sending one charged shot. 

The charge shot also has additional problems. For one, its flashy as fuck. Its very hard to not notice it coming from a distance, so its pretty unlikely that you are ever going to hit it from a long distance. Another one is that you are a sitting duck while charging it. It takes about 4 seconds to charge it, and you are stripped of any way to defend yourself during those four seconds. It also takes up all four of your shots, so thats another 4 seconds to reload ( Techniqually 3.68 seconds if you want to get really precise.)

The Cattle Cutter also seems to hate random crits more passionately than the average 12 year old muselk fan ( I guess that joke doesn't work anymore, but you get the point) since not only does this weapon not get random crits, but it also can not get crits at all. Not from the kritzkreig, not from pumpkins, not even at the end of the round. However, it can still get mini crits. Usually " No random crits " isn't much of a big deal, but it really is on soldier. A single critical rocket deals 270 damage, definitly much more effective at clearing out a point than the charge shot. 

It also has two kind of small stats. It does a pitiful ammount of damage to buildings. Like, 18 damage per shot. Its not too bad of a downside, since demo is better at taking out scent trees in general, but you really feel like shit when you have to run away from a mini sentry. You also have infinite ammo, but ammo conservation is never really a problem for me. 

TL;DR: Very, very situational.
