Small, yet powerful weapons.

[Sixties Spidey]

Title says it all. What's your favorite powerful small weapon (sidearm, etc.)

My vote would go to the Halo 1 pistol. I always used it as a backup weapon if my guns were low on ammo, and it's ridiculously hilarious to use it on multiplayer where everyone is using bigger weapons like the Assault Rifle or the Rocket Launcher only to have them being shot between the eyes by a pistol.

So what's yours?

EDIT: Oh right, my other one would be the pistol from Bionic Commando. Sounds shitty, but used right, it's one of the most useful weapons.

The Blackhawk Scoped .44 from Fallout 3. Sweet Jebus that thing packs a punch.

The Golden Gun in Goldeneye, you don't get more powerful than one hit kills.
