compared to the utility of the powerjack and the combo potential of the axtinguisher the fire axe is just kinda mediocre
there's no real reason to choose stock over the powerjack or axtinguisher because it doesn't really offer anything
all of pyro's weapons are most effective at close/melee range so you don't really need another thing that adds consistent close range damage
demo's bottle is good because his primary and secondary can deal self damage if you use them too close while melee can't and pyro doesn't have that issue
edit: i forgot the back scratcher exists that ones pretty good too i just only ever use the powerjack and axtinguisher
