Most satisfying-sounding weapon to fire

[Vrach]

Most if not all things with a silencer attached to it (particularly the snipers) give me the perfect feeling from the weapons in games as I love stealth. Without a silencer, I usually like MP5s, Kalashnikovs (definitely my favourite assault rifle in 99% FPSs) and in general, most bad-guy weapons.

I absolutely hate Uzis and most American weapons, particularly the M16. SCARs I'm usually ok with and even love some (Crysis one ftw), but I still prefer the sound and feel of most AKs, given the choice.

FAL in MW2, precise death, all without being a gamebreaker like the M16 or FAMAS.

The M-16 and Famas are a joke without stopping power on.

your point? no one uses them without that perk so that is irrelevant.

DD44 Destovie in GoldenEye. Honorable mention to Lincoln's repeater in Fallout 3.

ME2 example from me, actually. The Kappa Locust SMG. A good gun with a good sound effect attached to it. Get the job done, too!

In real life, I would have to say the Mosin Nagant 44 carbine, with heavy ball ammunition. It's a slow thud that hurts even with ear protection on, and the fact that the clothing of anyone within 20 feet around waves from the burst is impressive. I've never found a firearm sound in a videogame that really felt realistic, which is probably good, because even firing a .22 without ear protection makes your ears hurt. Firing a .357 in a 12x12 room without ear protection will permanently damage your hearing, and it just sounds like a loud bass bang followed by ringing the rest of your life.

There's this gun in L4D2 and it sounds like a horse cantering.
I can't remember what it's called, but I just love the sound :]

 

[Dana22]

A blooper of course.

[MrGalactus]

The SG5 from James Bond: Nightfire. Oooo its so satisfieingly loud and angry sounding.
The Heavy's chain gun from Team Fortress 2 is a close second. I love walking around a corner with my gun spinning to bump into a cornered pyro that freaks out when he sees me. Its awesome.

Phoomf! You know I've heard one of them fired and they actually sound like that. Its so awesome.

 

[MikeyW]

The double barrel shotgun from Doom 2. Have a sound system with some kick to it, and half the neighbourhood knew when you fired.

 

[KaiRai]

I don't know the model, but the target rifle I used back in cadets. I think it's like a L110 or something. Hefty 7.62mm rounds, thing just makes a boom when it goes off.

 

[MattyJ]

All of the guns in Vice City

 

[Wintermoot]

real-life or game? if its game than a sawn-off double barrel NOTHING says fuck you more than a double barrel to the face

 

[VaderMan92]

a real m1911 in 45 acp UNLEASH THE MIGHTY THUNDER OF GOD WITH EACH SHOT. no video game has yet to do it justice, but medal of honor rising sun came close.

 

[Nouw]

In game it'd be a M-4A1 Pulse Rifle from the Alien and Predator games.

Welcome to the Escapist!

Looking at Duke Nukem, Ripper from 3D comes to mind.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

I always loved the sound of the Duke Nukem 3D Shotgun.

 

[Silent observer]

The gun in assassin's creed 2 - the echoing crack was very satisfying, combined with the barking of the dog in the distance...sigh

 

[Valkyrie101]

The AK-47 in Modern Warfare. It sounds and feels gorgeous. The FAL is a good runner-up too.

 

[IBlackKiteI]

I really thought most of the rifles in the original Call of Duty sounded wicked especially the Springfield and the M1 Garand, the Flax 88's MG42 and BAR as well.

Although out of all the games ive played ive found the most awesome weapon sound to be when a Baneblade in Dawn of War fires its main gun, if that counts.

I dunno why I just freakin love it.
