Create-a-weapon

[ShadowsSpawn]

a ninja monkey you throw at some one, the money then stalks that person and at the right time jumps out and flings poo made of (you guessed it) shurikens and lightning. also he comes equipped with a sniper crowbar, just in case.

Aren't those called beam sabers or light sabers?

Considering that's the only new part of my post, I'll have to infer that you wrote it and messed up the quoting somewhat.

Congratulations, you have seen through my thin veil of sarcasm and 'razor sharp wit' and deduced that I was, in fact, describing a lightsaber. My point was: People will not actually create anything really good (with the minor exception of the Expanding Foam Grenade) but rather either make meta-weapons, stupidly overpowered weapons (see napalm and pidgeon shit and heal and guitar playing ladies in a shower), or draw on real weapons, in which case it's going against the thread's title.

Sigh, and here I was thinking I'd made my intentions perfectly clear with my lightsaber description by putting '/troll' at the end of it.

I'd want a "Medusa gun".
A weapon that turns your target to stone when you shoot them.

I've long wished to be able to write SWEP lua scripts for gmod so I'd be able to make a gun that makes your opponents ragdoll statued, change their texture to that of a boulder, gives them a 3rd perspective of their stonified character for about 10 seconds, then die and respawn.

The Distraction: A gun that causes anyone it hits to hear random loud noises and flashing lights, as well as the inevitable support character screaming "OMG LOOK OUT WHAT WAS THAT HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT!!!!!!"

I Have Always Had A Loving For Ridiculously Overpowered Versions Of Existing Weapons

Many thanks to Anarchemitis for knocking this up. I don't know if he has already posted it here.

An accurate SMG, because that'll never happen. Ever. Seriously, no game developer would ever in their right mind create such a useful weapon. Ever.

P90 is not that great. Play Rainbow Six Vegas and you'll understand. (The Rainbow Six Vegas designers studied all the weapons in the game to make them as close to the real thing as a game can get. Even the bullet shapes and reloads are made perfectly.) The P90 is mainly used because of its portability (light weight) and its high magazine size (50 rounds per mag, plus one in the chamber is 51 rounds). I waste my time figuring this stuff out...

And they did a piss-poor job of it, from what I hear. R6V is an arcade game, not a sim like the previous entries in the series were.

Anyway, the P90's real selling point is it's cartridge, the 5.7x28mm. It can pierce light body armour at over 200 meters, while other SMGs chambered in traditional pistol cartridges like .45ACP and 9x19mm Luger can't even at point blank range. Its meant to be given to second line troops and grunts that would find a full size assault rifle cumbersome, like vehicle crews. It has very little stopping power because of the small bullet used however.

Against an armoured target, something is better than nothing, right?

Mine would be the OmniGrenade
It's modeled after the grenades in Deus Ex actually. Its a combination High-Explosive, Flashbang and Smoke, with both timed, proximity and wireless fuses. You can stick it to a wall or throw it.

I take your response weapon statistics as a challenge. You seem to be as big a gun fanatic as me.

The MP5. The Counter-Strike version, at the least, is very accurate at longer ranges. Not as good as an assault rifle, but much better than the Uzi or MAC10. And in CS, better than the P90 for accuracy (not damage).

The weapon I want? a machine gun (or assault rifle) in a sci-fi shooter that takes less than 100 rounds (preferably around 1-5) to kill the smallest enemy in the goddamn game; i.e. a gun that uses something deadlier than spitwads for goddamn bullets, a problem most sci-fi games have issues with unless its fire rate is so slow that you may as well use a melee weapon instead. It should also look like a competent gun and not some gravity-challenged monstrosity with extra spinning bits for no reason. It should also have good accuracy at 400m, a thing real assault rifles have no trouble with but our futuristic descendants are lucky if their gun is accurate enough to hit a man-sized target at 40m. Farcry figured it out and did it, all you FPS developers, why the hell do you keep making guns worse???

Stake sniper rifle- ever wanted to pin a jumping/falling enemy to the wall by his foot without killing him? Now you can and from far away. If you do want to kill him the stakes could be on fire i guess. And have AIDS. But how fun would it be getting a headshot with that gun. A 2 foot stake imapling your targets head into possibly another target or a wall. hehe

Painkiller has this gun, seriously you pin baddies to walls with flaming two foot long stakes. No AIDs though.

Fear also had a gun like this. It literally did that, except for the not killing them part (I doubt it gave them AIDs, but what do they care, they're dead). I probably should have taken pictures of the soldier hanging from the wall by a nail through his face. I think it had a scope too.

Duke Nukem 3D had a similar gun, it just froze them instead of turning them to stone. Just as deadified when you count the fact that the guy freezing them just whipped out some explosives if he has any sense.

The infinite possiblity gun- Its anyones guess what it'l fire next. Tabes, chairs, squid possibly even bullets or other guns. "BAM i hit you in the face at 200 mph with a luger pistol >"

This actually reminds me of a City of Heroes power. Gravity Control: Propel. You literally summon random crap and smash it into the enemy's face. It then persists for awhile if you want to kick it around. Some samples of things I've seen hucked at peoples faces with this: An oxygen tank, a cadillac, a forklift, a plasma TV, a piece of ugly corporate art, a chair, a pool table, and a computer case.

I want a LaG-light cannon. A (just barely) man portable weapon that uses the ionized air path of a laser beam to fire a small lightening bolt with great accuracy. It would really rock in the right FPS setting.

Uh. If you have a laser powerful enough to ionize a path that long, why not just hit people with it? that would be one HELL of a laser.

My "less lethal" idea is a shotgun that shoots small grenades filled with glass dust and tear gas. It explodes violently, but has no metal in it, thus no shrapnel. Won't kill (probably), but pretty disabling. I guess this could work with any sort of grenade, the shotgun part just makes it more portable (and more likely to be used by police forces )
Note I said glass DUST not shards. Crushed, not ground, to ensure sharpness

Use on your own team mate, forcing said player to DEFEND THE EFFING FLAG or something to that effect. Would limit said player's movement range to roughly 15 feet from the defensive objective, forcing said noob to play a bit of d.
