Outside the box FPS weapon

Ok, the last time I brought up this topic, the results were less than inspiring.

"Dude, lets make a gun that, like, makes people inflate and then, like, explode...wicked. Duuude"

Disappointing to say the least.

- Think of something that takes skill and discretion to use.
- Think of things that you would not normally consider to be a weapon. (Money, Animals, Daisychain IEDs, Civilians, etc)
- Think of something that has moral implications.
- Think of a weapon that, in a video game, you would consider not using because you would have to ask yourself some difficult questions...

Even if you have to craft a game around these responses, I'd like to hear them.

I've seen enough from weight-gain fetishists to convince me why I would NOT want a gun like that in video games.

Oh jeebus, I hope I didn't create a thread that is heading in this direction.

 

[Nouw]

I'm thinking along the lines of Darkness 2 executions except in a weapon. Am I doing it right?

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

A gun that fires Thresher Maws.
Mass Effect 3 would be a lot shorter that way...

Why would you not want this in your games?


But seriously, this was a gun from one of the old Duke Nukems. It also had a counterpart gun that shrank people so you could step on them

Back on topic, for a semi realistic weapon, I'd want some sort of delayed shotgun, like you shot the shell and it would get most of the way to the target before shooting the buckshot part so you could have more range and more control of the spread. Or another version where you could shoot down a hallway and the shell would somehow shoot sideways around a corner.

something that fires micropellets that can be filled with just about any soluble payload, can pretty easily fit a suitable launcher into nearly anything. A standard pen would be just about perfect. If done right, getting hit would feel like a mosquito bite, and leave less physical evidence behind.

As for the actual load, that would depend on what you want to happen to the target. Simple knockouts would be a possibility. Quick kills would be possible with toxins that are effective at low doses. Other compounds would kill in a manner that looks like a natural stroke or other fatal occurrence. Then you've got a couple of other... interesting options, from spiking their blood system with LSD to infecting them with syphilis.

Heh, come to think of it, I could name a few extremist leaders around the world I wouldn't mind seeing ostracized as lepers...

 

[Vicarious Reality]

A gun that neutralizes the targets weak nuclear force

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

Something along the lines of inflatable sheep that can make the enemy rebound into various nasty pieces of scenery?

Or a aerosol can that you can spray into peoples eyes, and it either melts...something...or makes them go really passive.

 

[Rowan93]

Abortion gun that fires coathangers.

I'm not entirely sure what the thread is asking for, so I just went for the most abhorrent thing.

 

[Kyber]

I think Timesplitters 2 or 3 had a gun like that, the more darts you shot at the enemy the quicker they would explode

 

[renegade7]

How about a gun that neutralizes a target's mass, and at the same time makes them bounce around like rubber? They'll float around and bounce off things Seems like it would be funny.

 

[3quency]

Perhaps a gun that oinks. The enemy will be so baffled they will be completely off-guard!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

A gun that fires facehuggers.

Only real problem is reloading.

CAPTCHA: Bowties are Cool. That made my day.

 

[gigastar]

A gun that increases the effect of gravity between objects shot by it. Alt-fire is to cancel the effect.

No lethal force, apart from what you can create by causing people or objects to go flying.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

- A gun that fires syringes of bile that only paralyse people and cause horrific pain and runs on kitten skin.
- A weapon that you strap to your face and that fires your tears at super high velocity but only works if you kill your own puppy.
- A gun that fires aborted super foetuses whos spines have been sharpened to point while crying inside the gun and you get the ammo from preforming abortions.

Am I going to far with this?

 

[-Drifter-]

A gun that creates plant life wherever you point it. Spawn a giant carnivorous flower behind a bunch of entrenched enemies! Raise roots out of the ground to impale anyone in your way! Create bushes to hide your position, etc. Plenty of possibilities to work with.

 

[paislyabmj]

A gun that fires small localised bullet time forcefields that can put one bad guy into slow motion or a AOE gun with the same effect but localised to one small circle so when stuff emerges from the affected area they instantly return to normal speed.

Or just a gun that shoots guns , I can live with that.
