Poll: Weapons that made you go "Umph!"

[NeoDeath90]

The railway rifle from Fallout 3. The fact that the ammo is so abundant and the fact that you can pin people's limbs to walls with said ammo makes me figuratively gasm.

Oh, and let me reiterate, IT CAN PIN PEOPLE'S LIMBS TO FREAKIN' WALLS!

Spoiler: railway rifle

 

[solidd]

the secondary fire of the AR2 in HLDM online was just amazing. so satisfying clearing a room of skirmishing nooobz muahahahahah and also, clearly, the AWP from CSS. yum

 

[Jurassic Rob]

Mine is and will always be the Longshot from Gears of War (1 and 2).

I would put an image up, but I don't know how! Please someone message me telling me!!!!

 

[Gaming_Purist]

Combat Shotgun from Fallout 3. Makes short work of wasting those Super Mutants.

 

[Ossum]

Ness's pimp stick in SSB:Melee. Not Brawl, they nerfed it.
Also, the Fan.
Also, Nana of the Ice Climbers.

Dual SMGs (smigs) in Halo 2, especially in 3.
Also, the ripped-off turrets in 3.

Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
R.Y.N.O in Ratchet & Clank.
Red Shells in Mario Kart.
The Lancer in Gears of War.
Luminaire in Chrono Trigger (not a weapon, but skill kicks ass)

 

[HAZEANDHALO]

Gravity hammer.

No matter your opinion on Halo 3, you've gotta admit that they handled a giant hammer pretty damn well.

LOL Forgot about the big monstrosity..

A SPARTAN LASER!!
(yes its a real weapon)
So, How the hell do they pick up a I dont know 10 ton weapon? and how do grunts hold it?

And... bang!

 

[llamastorm.games]

Any weapon basically on dead space they're all stupidly powerful little bastards, especially the ripper.

 

[OneBig Man]

Any game with a Tommy gun or a shotgun makes me happy. But the one that is the most awsome regaurdless is the hammer of dawn in The Gears of Wars series. Nothing like a lazer from the sky to clear the sinuses.

 

[Xorghul]

Portal Gun, what's the point of killing them when you can send them hurdeling through infinity?

Give meeeee*drooling*
And my "umph!" weapon is obviously the one and only; Portal Gun!

 

[Triple AD]

Gravity hammer.

No matter your opinion on Halo 3, you've gotta admit that they handled a giant hammer pretty damn well.

Totally agree

 

[Whistler777]

it really is overpowered.
when i first got my hands on it (found it on the ground, didnt even earn it) i really played extremely good with it although i was new to this very game.

You don't unlock the M16...it's the very first gun you get, along with the MP5.

In any case, my favorite is the Voodoo Doll from Blood 3D.

Spoiler

 

[Gado911]

Tommy Guns in Timesplitters 2 (so cool!!)

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Duke Nukem 3D's Shrink Ray. Nothing beats shrinking an enemy down to the size of a mouse and stomping on them, especially online.

Here's the only pic I could find. Sorry it's not that good.

It can also be used on you, which is necessary in some parts of the game.

Another one worth mentioning is the Railgun from Quake 2. Try as they might, its later incarnations just couldn't match its awesome design, though the deadliness was kept intact.

It was hella hard to aim when the action was too fast, but the ridiculous damage was worth it.

 

[Sanaj]

The BFG 10k from Quake 2, none of the latter re-makes were quite as powerful or interesting.

Below is the smaller pic as a player saw it in a game of Quake 2.

Spoiler

-Original, as seen in game

Below is the larger pic of the same weapon remodeled to look less dated.

Spoiler

-Remodeled nicer looking version

The Dragons Tooth Sword

The true weapon of a modern warrior, the Dragon's Tooth is not a sword in the traditional sense, but a nanotechnologically, constructed blade that is dynamically 'forged' on command into a non-eutactic solid. Nanoscale whetting devices insure that the blade is both unbreakable and lethally sharp.

The Lightsaber
Designed as much for elegance in combat as for ceremony, the lightsaber, also known as a "laser sword", was a distinctive weapon, the very image of which was inextricably bound with the mythos of the Jedi Order and their polar opposites, the Sith. The lightsaber also became synonymous with the Jedi Order's values to uphold peace and justice throughout the galaxy. This perception endured, despite the many conflicts with Sith and Dark Jedi.

It was a blade of pure plasma[1] energy suspended in a force containment field that kept individuals from feeling the plasma's heat.[2] The plasma was emitted from a hilt which was almost always crafted by the wielder to match their own needs, preferences, and style. Because the saber contained all its weight in the hilt and generated a strong gyroscopic effect, it was very difficult for the untrained to wield. In the hands of an expert of the Force, the lightsaber was a weapon to be greatly respected and feared. To wield a lightsaber was to demonstrate incredible skill and confidence, as well as masterful dexterity and attunement to the Force.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
--------------------------------
The Force

Manifestations of the Force, which were mentally-based abilities and tapped through the practitioner's willpower, could take many forms, and included telepathy, psychokinesis, and enhanced physical and metaphysical perception. The Force could be used to bend the will of weak-minded beings and guide an adept's body. Users who were very good at using the Force could cease merely reacting to their surroundings and actually predict events in the very near future, such as the next blow in a duel. Guidance like this enabled Luke Skywalker to launch a proton torpedo into an extremely difficult target on the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin. The Force can also be used to sedate. Qui-Gon Jinn use this power on Jar Jar Binks when traveling the dangerous underwater path to Theed. Qui-Gon placed a hand on Jar-Jar's shoulder and asked him to relax causing the Gungan to almost lose consciousness. Obi-wan, observing the extreme change in Jar Jar's behavior, tells Jinn, his master, "You overdid it."


Qui-Gon Jinn uses the Force to destroy Trade Federation battle droids.In addition to enhancing their own skill, Force users were capable of channeling the energy of The Force directly into the world around them. The Sith were infamous for making heavy use of this ability to conjure Force-lightning, or Force-choke enemies by constricting their windpipes. The Jedi preferred to use their abilities to heal and protect; closing wounds and shielding others with barriers of Force energy. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn discovered that Jedi could achieve near-immortality through the Force by existing as a Force ghost after death.1

Some Force users even learned how to transfer their spirit into another body. Palpatine used this technique in order to prolong his life, and evidence suggests the legendary Dark Jedi Set Harth, who fell to the dark side in the aftermath of the New Sith Wars, used this power to leapfrog his essence between hundreds of clone bodies, lingering in the physical realm up until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and beyond. Later Callista Ming transferred herself to the body of a dying friend so that she could stay alive. Callista, unlike Harth and Palpatine, lost her ability to touch the Force in the process of transference.

Others, like Darth Nihilus and the Jedi Exile, could use the Force to feed off other Force users. Nihilus' power could encompass entire planets and drain them of life, like the Miraluka colony world of Katarr. Some dark side users could use a different and weaker form of this technique to drain the strength of others into themselves, occasionally to fatal results. Darth Nihilus' ability to do this originated from a "Wound in the Force", which is essentially a rip in the fabric of the Force itself.

Palpatine mentioned that the Force can help one cheat death, or create life, a secret mastered only by Darth Plagueis. Another Sith Lord, Darth Sion, used a more indirect method to cheat death. As he could call upon his pain to strengthen his will and allow him to rise up again as strong as he was beforehand, he was arguably immortal.

The Force played a major part in the Jedi use of a lightsaber, in that their heightened awareness kept them from accidentally injuring themselves while using the weapon in combat, as the blade had no relative weight, making it difficult to judge its position. Similarly, the Force allowed a Jedi to use his/her lightsaber to deflect incoming blaster bolts. The Force also came into play during the construction of a lightsaber, both in assembling its intricate innards, and the initial charging of the power cell.

Manipulating the Force is not without risks, however. When a person uses the Force beyond their body's ability to sustain it, the individual could suffer physical damage, accelerated aging, or in the most extreme case, certain death by burning their own body cells from the inside out. Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, Palpatine, and Dorsk 81 are prime examples of excessive Force usage and the consequences.

The gun from painkiller that shoots shurikens and lightning.

I wish I could make that up. It shoots shurikens and lightning! It could only be more awesome if it had tits and was on fire!

Ya beat me to it...

The unlockable shotgun for the Scout in TF2 (forget what it is called).
