Um... I honestly don't know how fast it is, it's only seen briefly after it grabs its target, and its target had no idea what was happening and was standing still.
It never actually completely leaves the briefcase.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."The general ambiguity of the abilitie's potence seems to be the problem, which is why I'm trying to help out. That's all. If it's accepted, fine, perhaps just some perameters to prevent nastiness in the future.
So we know it's car sized, and can be fought off by people with strength that's modestly above average. The speed might be the most important part here. What's a speed we could all agree on?
To the law and for the good of man. All I need to live by.Um... there doesn't seem to be a clip on youtube... unless someone else wants to watch the entire Paradox Spiral movie(which... it's fantastic, as well as the rest of Kara No Kyoukai)...
From what I can remember, it doesn't even show it lunging out, it just shows it after it grabs its target...
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."- Name: The Medic
- Age: Nobody knows.
- Species: Human.
- Gender: Male
- Appearance: "Let's go practice medicine."
◊
- ‘Verse: Team Fortress 2
- Personality: The Medic is a mad, mad, mad, mad man. Raised during an era when the Hippocratic oath had been downgraded to an optional Hippocratic suggestion, the Medic took up the art of medicine because it allowed him to be more like himself: a curious man, who lacks compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and who often enjoys to cut and hack things just to see how they work. It can't be said he "cares" for his teammates, but he does take care of them, and he did form some sort of friendly relationship with some of the more logical members of his group, so you can at least say there's something good about this man. Then again, maybe it was because they were the ones taking care of his doves...
- Powers/Equipment:
- Syringe Gun: Shooting large amounts of syringes faster than you can say "Oh God oh God oh God I hate syringes I hate them I hate them I hate them".
- Medigun: For all those bruises, hits, missing limbs, missing organs, missing brains, missing that little yellow thing on top of your liver: it can cure practically anything. As the Medic uses it, it builds up this huge amount of energy: when it hits one hundred percent, it can be released by the Medic to give him and his target precious few seconds of invulnerability.
- Bonesaw: He'll use it to saw through your bones. And also to cut the turkey for dinner- but mostly for sawing through your bones.
- Background: Nothing is known about the Medic, except that he comes from Stuttgart, Germany and that he lost his medical license a few years after the patient woke up missing his entire skeleton. He was hired by RED to take part in an amazing war over gravel pits and things he does not care about, for most believe the only reason he took the job was so that he could experiment and meddle with the human body in order to, in his words, practice medicine.
- Extra Notes: Think the Medic should get new weapons as time goes by, although he'll only be able to hold one primary, one secondary, and one melee, having to go somewhere to change his weapons.

That was a very rustic medigun- the Quick Fix. It's specifically designed to be a rustic version of the medigun, like the Medic was messing with the idea. I think he upgraded it so everyone doesn't need to change their heart in case something happens like them being killed in a horrible way.
Like they do everyday.
Plus the Quick-Fix's ubercharge isn't an ubercharge: it just ups the healing factor and removes movement-impairing effects.

@Strato: The implications I heard is that the medigun he uses in the video is a prototype medigun that happens to look like the quick fix; the idea being that the video is of the very first ubercharge he ever did.
The fact that it actually ubers Heavy rather than not uber him like the quick fix in-game would support this theory.
At the end of the video you can see that the whole team is going to have the procedure done on them. The idea that he upgraded sometime later so they don't need the procedure seems just as valid to me that it still requires it. After all, at no other point in all the videos or comics that I know of is this addressed.
You are reading this.
It's the Quick Fix, and it is using the uber feature. For him to have ubered anyone else, he'd have to have improved the gun or sent everyone through surgery. Although everyone always gets blown up and killed in horrible ways, and respawn has yet to be explained by the comics, so the theory that the upgrade was in the weapon and not in the hearts can also be used.
This happens because the characters never actually die in the comics or the movies, and when they do, it's only BLU characters. Of course, it's for the sake of storytelling, but it ignores the respawn factor, which, again, is never explained. So to say that everyone went through surgery works in the comic context, but not in the game context, which is where this Medic seems to come from, considering he has the stock weapons and not the Quick Fix + Overdose, which were the first weapons the Medic used, as can be seen when he exits the operation room in Meet the Medic.
Just putting my two cents here (which is weird since, heh, this is my character), but the comics and the more detailed videos came later, and apart from one or two (the Halloween/Mann vs Machine videos/comics), you can play the game and understand every single part of it without having read the comics or watched the videos.
So if I had to say, this would be stock game Medic, without all the complications from the comics/videos (no offense, I like the comics/videos, but not a lot of them prominently feature the Medic- except for Meet the Medic, of course)
Which is exactly what's happening at the end of Meet The Medic, when you see the rest of the team in the waiting area and Scout emerging with Achilles stuck in him.
... Or it just means he's from a later point in time than directly after Meet The Medic. Isn't it up to Bean whether this Medic is from the games or from the comics/meet the class videos?
EDIT: Well that ninja'ing makes me look like an ass. )=/

Which I would like to point out has been disproven already.
