In terms of damage and accuracy, the Carnifex Hand Cannon from ME2 was pretty boss would have been my primary weapon were it not for the fact that ammo capacity was retardedly low. I mean, you can carry 600+ bullets for the Revenant, but strain your back carrying 25 lousy pistol bullets? Come on.

The laser pistol from the Fallout series. Seriously, it turns people to ash, how is that not awesome?!?!?
Especially the MPLX Novasurge variant of it from F3: Mothership Zeta

reduces people to the same goo in about a third of the time

For me, I have a love for the fully leveled up Blacktail in Resident Evil 4, it reloads in less than a fraction of a second, deals a good amount of damage and has a rather large magazine.

Mine is also from RE4, but I prefer the Red9. Much more powerful and has a pretty unique reloading animation.
The red9 has that animation where it looks like you break something off right?
Yep, that's the one. You actually load the magazine in from the top before breaking the handle off.

I am going to go for the Red 9 from "Resident Evil 4". It make take longer to reload than the Blacktail, but with the stock attached it is pretty much a pocket rifle and can pop Ganado's heads like melons. Once I started playing with the Red 9, I couldn't go back to the Blacktail.

Enforcer from Unreal Tournament, you could dual wield them and the alternative fire turned them horizontal and increased the fire rate...It was just really badass to blow people away with two or even a single one.

OT: The Pistols (and really, all the guns) from ME1 were pretty awesome. They actually had unlimited ammo, and with reasoning behind such. IF you read through the codex, the concept behind it was cool.
They still have that in ME2, but they tweaked weapons to counter advances in shielding technology, which resulted in overheating of the weapons, due to increased heat on the barrel and mechanics of the weapons. Thus replaceable heat sinks were developed to counter that. I still very much love and miss my ME1 pistol though...never overheated, plus I was an infiltrator so I got that buff on my fire rate..and now I have to go play again thanks to you lol!

The Golden Gun from well Golden Eye
Silver PP7 was better lol 7 shots, nearly always an instant kill plus it shot through objects and rows of people.

Its not the best but my favorite handgun in a game ever is probably the flaregun in Alan Wake. Its definately the most powerful weapon in the game; but in any other game, it would be completely useless. And I think thats the point.

The Handcannon from Killing Floor. For some reason it just feels... right using that weapon
Either that or the Phalanx handgun from ME2

I'm going with GES Biorifle from original UT. It literally shits all over the place.
Cool weapon and all, but wasnt that a rifle? I believe it was called GES Bio Rifle.
That actually reminded me of another cool handgun.
I really like the Enforcer from Unreal Tournament 3 for some odd reason, especially when dual wielded.

Pestilent Defiler from Borderlands.

Not only is it always a 4x acid, which ALWAYS procs, it actually gets a damage BONUS, where other elemental weapons get a base damage loss to balence the DOT.

Pre-Patch 1911 in Bad Company 2.

It was 100 percent accurate and killed in 2 shots at any distance, with no fire rate cap.
What the FUCK!? That thing used to be WORSE!? It's still a fucking god gun! It's right up there with the MG3 + Marksman training, the PPSh from Vietnam, period, and the Carl G with plus explosives...

On topic: the Beretta from RE5. Just kidding, that thing couldn't kill any non special with half an entire hundred round mag.

No, what I do vote, is...The Glock 18c from RB6:V2. Especially if you have the Vegas 2 rebalanced mod, which makes it have superior penetration, 17 rounds unmodded, and THIRTY-TWO rounds with +Mags. With a fully automatic setting. In a game where five shots to center mass, and you're dead, no matter what. And it fires very fast. And it is an exception on the lower end of shots to kill...
I always used the Raging Bull in RB6:V1 and 2. I was repelling down a wall in terrorist hunt one time, and saw the last guy on the map with an AK start moving across a doorway and dropped him in one shot. Ah, to have gotten that on tape would have been epic.
Ah yeah, I love that sucker too. When you're fighting the mooks with lesser armor, no matter what mod you're playing, or none, they die, even on Realistic, no matter where you shoot them.
And it's perfectly accurate. Five or six rounds of badass so hard it makes Duke blush.

Funny, then, that I chose to have a femme Bishop...
Good compliment to the SR-25, and a SMG/Shotgun of your choice.

I always liked the G3KA4 and UMP45 or one of the SV-98 and UMP45. I put a rifle scope on my UMP45 and it was my short-medium range weapon, and I could snipe someone with it or the G3 as long as my scope let me look at them. Not to mention the sniper rifle. I liked all of them, but for some reason, I have a soft spot for the SV-98.

The good old six-shooter from Alan Wake. I pretty much just used that weapon for the whole game.
