With explosives. Because that's what he does.
Next thing you know they'll give the Heavy Weapons Guy a submachinegun as a replacement for his mini gun.
PS: Even if you do create a bunch of items meant to be mix and matched with other weapons, having absolutely no downside aside from "no melee" is still stupid and unbalanced-- especially when the items benefit way too well. It's basically "why would you NOT use these?" The shield has no reason to not be used if you have a projectile weapon equipped, and the sword turns ammo into HEALTH and the charge refills twice as fast?
More importantly, what does charging have to do with the Demoman?
Stupid.
