What Do You Think Was The Best Weapon in Shooter History?

[Nazulu]

Laptop Gun or Slayer in Perfect Dark

BFG in Doom

AWP in Counter Strike

Gravity Gun in Half Life 2

 

[Beltom]

The RY3NO from Ratchet and Clank 3 and the Fat Man from Fallout 3. Two weapons have never before shown me what fun can come from atomic annihilation.
"The Fat Man, keeping the Capital Wasteland a wasteland since 2277."

minigun in quake III , if you kept shooting after people died their body would remain as if it was still alive and suffering from your bullets, torture FTW.

Guns in games I loved 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Perfect dark: Rail gun
Half Life 2: zero-point energy field manipulator(gravity gun)
Perfect dark: laptop gun

Special mention to the BFG

EDIT: and every gun in pain killer, especially the one that shoots 5 steaks

It's always funny to see kids say Halo & Half Life guns are the all time best....

The DOOM Shotgun was the first all-around versatile weapon... there was no job that it was not suited for..... Only the Double-Barreled Shotgun of DOOM II could retire it. CLICK-CLACK-BOOM.

Disagreements = You were not around for the the DOOM days.

The Railway rifle from fallout 3 that makes an awesome noise when you shoot it.

I always fucking loved the Ripper from UT 99.

Seriously, it's a gun that shoots razordiscs. That ricochet of walls. And you can make "neckshots" with it.

 

[Angerwing]

and i know it's not really a "Weapon" but i gotta say Omni-slash from FF IIV, it was so great the let that douche from IIIV have it...

Roman numerals: You're doing it wrong.

On-Topic I would have to say the Peacemaker from Jak 3. Or the Mesmetron from Fallout 3. OR, if I wanted to annoy everyone, Master Flintlock Pistol from Fable 2.

 

[Randomtime]

Unreal tournament's Flack Cannon was awesome, as was the gravity gun, portal gun, and any flamethrower that happens to be in a game (you can't have more fun than setting loads of people on fire). EDIT: And the UT chainsaw gun (I think it was called the "ripper")

 

[Chribbdizzle]

That Ratchet & Clank one where you turn enemies into ducks. a lot of the ratchet and clank ones, powerfull and funny

I was aiming for more specific guns, the shotgun is a general weapon thats in many many games.

Cerebral Bore, I think.

You can't beat a machine gun with a chainsaw attatched to the front. If the military invented something like this, do you think we'd still have wars? Everyone would be too afraid to attack us because they'd be like "Ok we hate America let's go attack them" and then the other guy would be all "No, dude they got those chainsaw guns" and then the first guy would be like "Oh, you're right. Those chainsaw guns suck. That's not fair." and then the American guy would burst through the door in slow motion with an explosion going on behind him and be like "We heard you talking about America in a negative way" and they would be like "No we were just talking about how much we didn't hate you" and the American guy would be like "Shut up, fool!" and start cutting up everyone. I think I just wrote the script for the next Michael Bay movie (bah dum tish).

Seriously, I would not even care about the enemies, I would just run straight up to someone and cut them up. Even if I died, I just enjoyed the satisfaction of sticking a chainsaw up someone's ass.

 

[itSucks2beU]

there are many good guns/rifles/high-power sniping rifles in games but for me there is one dominant it is the AK-47

I am being specific.... The DOOM Shotgun. In terms of the game's design... it was the all-around, most badass weapon that was always useful no matter the situation. I'm NOT saying ANY FPS shotgun, many of then suck.

Oh yes you can!

The Fat Man in Fallout 3. I felt so awesome using it that i would yell out "TAKE THAT!"

if you like the fat man then you'll love my favorite the MARV shoots 8 mini nukes at once
