Edit Reason: add crashing rumors

Hello,
Recently, it has come to the attention of me and some other staff members @"Derp" that there are some issues with the dance gun that need to be addressed.
It has been determined that the dance gun, despite being intended to be a one hit kill weapon to kill a single person, can be exploited and used to kill multiple people. This kills them the same way as normal dance gun kills - freezes their game for about 8 seconds and then they die.
With a one hit kill weapon like the dance gun, there really shouldn't be ways that allow for it to kill 2-4 extra people. The most similar one hit kill weapon, the knife, can't be exploited to kill multiple. The AWP can be used to kill multiple, sure, but that requires a vantage point and lugging around a huge weapon that is easily spotted.
I have actually noticed two different ways that the dance gun can be abused. I'd prefer not to go into too many details, but one involves a sentry turret and the other just involves close proximity to someone else dance gunned.
Evidently the exploits can crash peoples games too. @Nicol Bolas
Anyways, as with my other remove and replace threads.
Reasons to remove
1. A powerful weapon, intended to be a one hit kill weapon that will kill just one person, has the power to kill anywhere between 2 to 4 people.
2. It's unfair to new players that won't know how to glitch it/exploit it in order to get multiple kills
3. It can be pretty irritating for a player to somehow die from a dance gun despite not being shot by it.
4. No one wants their game to crash.
Reasons to keep
1. The dance gun is a fun T weapon and one of few one hit kill weapons, perhaps it can be fixed.
I don't have any particular replacement in mind, but I'm sure that someone can find something similarly cool for another one hit kill weapon.
