A miniturised cannon (with a similar bore to a bazooka) that can be shoulder mounted. By cannon i mean 17th century field artillery.
Why?
Just cause.

Perhaps some people were getting me wrong. It's not that i don't like modernized weapons, it's that when they are used today in video games, they are practically the same gun. In CoD, it was just so simple for me to pick enemies off from a good distance with even submachine guns. I would like guns to be more realistic like in, perhaps, Rainbow Six Vegas. I still love that game because the recoil is realistic and each gun has its pros and cons.

Also, my favorite FPS's of all time are games like Duke Nukem, Half-Life, Unreal, Bioshock, Halo, or Prey. The weapons were creative as all hell and a blast to use. Why? Because the game actually made new guns or modified existing ones with cool ammo or abilities. It's just too easy to just put real guns in a game, like CoD or its clones do. The best CoD guns I've ever used were the fake ones in Nazi Zombies.

So now I have few new weapons I thought of:

It's a dart assault rifle that fires syringes of a chemical that causes severe hemorrhaging wherever they penetrate. The gun also has a melee attack that is a bayonet needle that, when stuck in an opponent, injects them with a formula that breaks down their DNA and causes them to suffer a horrible mutated death.

Another cool gun would be a sort of chain bomb thrower. It would fire a string of small explosived that are strung together almost like a chain. The longer you hold the trigger, the longer the chain. Then it would have an alt-fire that if you hold down the other trigger while firing, it would delay the bombs as long as you kept holding it down. This way, you could set a trap or have the chain explode in mid-air above your targets.

I would design a toaster-gun, a double barrel toaster-gun that fired white hot spatulas that knocked people back off their feet and if you got close enough for a melee attack, your character would slap them with the protruding spatulas, hopefully melting their face in one clean motion. I suppose it would look a little like a fucked up double-barreled harpoon gun...

An elegant weapon.

Gun that shoots a chain with a ball on each end that just slices through bodies close up, or tie them up and incapacitate them if used at a longer distance

Some FPS's out there are sometimes hit or miss with their guns these days. Games like Call of Duty just use modern assault rifles and whatnot that only vary in their effectiveness in multiplayer.

You see, my dream game is a well done FPS with a very long campaign, well written story, and some interesting guns in both design and use.

Example: A sniper rifle that does not use bullets, but a white-hot bolt of plamsa or some other energy. It's ammo would be a long clear tube filled with some sort of viscous liquid that, when heated through the gun's inner mechanisms, would then be turned into a fireable energy round.

So now I want to hear from everyone out there what their cool gun would be in a FPS campaign.
I would like a designated marksman rifle that shoots 30 cm./8 in. spikes, capable of nailing people to walls and heads together.

Or a grenade launcher that shoots flashbangs.

The Fonz Finger-Guns (patent pending)

It's an easy to use and effective non-lethal weapon. What you simply do when faced with a target is snap them the Finger Guns with the matching power word "H~eeeeeeey!" If you hit your target he becomes so overwhelmed by your coolness factor that he turns to you and finger-guns you back, dropping his weapon in the process and leaving him unarmed.

At this point it is your choice of whether to run up, steal his weapon and shoot him in the face before he recovers his senses, or to run up, use the alternate fire mode of kicking him in the testicles, and then stealing his gun and shooting him in the face.

[Disclaimer: The Fonz Finger-Guns (patent pending) is a certified, UN approved non-lethal weapons technology. Any killing blows or dick-kickings that occur after their intended use is the legal responsibility of the face shooting, dick kicking soldier in question and not Happy Days Weapons Development Inc.]

A shotgun that shoots spikes. Imagine Halo' Spiker and Shotty combined.
Double-barrelled, for extra awesomeness.
I thought it would be cool in a Halo game, but in hindsight, it could be badass in anything.

It's a stomach acid launcher. Basically you stick a tube into your stomach and you're good to go.

How about a gun that basically shoots a big shockwave. The cool part is that not only could you shoot your enemies off of cliffs and into sharp things, but you could also shoot it at the ground for a much safer version of a rocket jump.

A gun that fires TIME! Basically whatever the gun hits ages more and more with each hit, until they are too old to be a threat or are reduced to dust.
