Worst gun I've ever come across is also the most powerful.

The Experimental MIRV from Fallout 3. I mean...Its a shotgun filled with mini-nukes...What idiot thought that was a good idea? Its a long range mortar, you can't hit shit with it.

Shoot it straight, kill yourself, shoot up, miss. Loss loss situation. Unless you're aiming for a skyscraper.
So true...

Also, the binoculars in Fallout: NV (well, OK but it is in the weapons tab of the pip boy), as far as I can tell you can't manually zoom in and the sniper scope goes in closer.

The Worldslayer from Magic the gathering. Yeah. It kills everything. Including yourself. That makes for a pretty bad weapon. Oh, and the name might not be 100% correct, I don't remember the specifics. I just remember it killing everything.
When equipped creature deals combat damage to an opponent, destroy all permanents but Worldslayer, useless weapon indeed.

Varmint Rifle in Fallout: New Vegas.

It felt as if I was playing Morrowind, missing all the time.
Really? It is accurate enough to reliably hit targets at 100m (330ft) and beyond. And combat distances rarely exceded that.

(Does this count as a hat trick?)

Some people seem to be criticizing my opinion, and hey, I understand their point, I mean no offense to anybody who actually likes this weapon.

I will say that the Gunblade looks dumb... and seems needlessly complicated gameplay-wise. Plus, why call it a Gunblade if it doesn't really function as a gun?

That's all I'm saying, people...

The Fan O' War in TF2. It literally is the weakest weapon in the game, a critical hit does a whopping... 13 HP! All it does is inflict minicrits on one person that you hit it with.

The Beam Rifle from Star Wars Battlefront II

This weapon is supposed to be a reward upgrade for the Sniper class, but the scope has a lower magnification, it takes twice as many shots to drop a target, and headshots do not 1-hit-kill, I mean what is the point in a sniper rifle that can't kill with a headshot? However, the single most incompetent feature is the fact that, being a BEAM Rifle, every shot you fire leaves a great glowing trace from your target back to your sniper nest, which persists for about three seconds after the shot is fired, and instantly attracting a hail of enemy fire to your position. Quite possibly, the most useless sniper rifle seen in a theatre of warfare.
The remote rocket is worse- pathetic damage and you´ll frequently miss targets because it turns so slowl

The Boxing Gloves in Fallout: New Vegas. My hands were literally stronger
The boxing gloves caused fatigue damage, they were supposed to stop you killing enemies so you could knock them out instead.
12 gauge Beanbag shells had the same effect- but it is a bit odd how normal shotshells barely affect Deathclaws but beanbags make them tumble onto the ground.

It's not supposed to do damage and be used to kill someone, so I wouldn't say it's the worst weapon in the game.

On Hit: One target at a time is marked for death, causing all damage taken to be mini-crits

I can see some uses for that tbh. Slap a heavy, then force-of-nature their asses. That'd pretty much kill them.

Outside of games: the SA80 rifle series


Oh god it is awful, a black mark on the British establishment. The only positive to come from it is the discipline and loyalty of British troops that tolerate such a a diabolical device, and a shame on the officers who too so long to even get the weapon fixed:

Contras:
-Magzine catch has awful ergonomics and when used with kit the magazine keeps getting accidentally released, the solution is only a flap over magazine catch
-it is impossible to change magazine while still aiming at target.
-unreasonably difficult to reload from prone (unlike even other bullpup rifles)
-Terrible controls, from the safety in inadequate position and the fire-select switch is placed way back and for some oppressive reason the fire-selector switch is made ridiculously stiff so that you have to lever your whole arm just to change firing mode. The result: everyone always keeps it in full auto mode
-The bullpup layout makes the weapon much harder to control on full auto without the weight out front, the muzzle is also much closer to be more deafening.
-L86 or SA80 LSW "Light Support Weapon" is neither light, supporting nor even a weapon it jams so often. It was very overweight for its capability. It has a split group, first shot goes one trajectory, full auto goes another. This is unforgivable for a support weapon. Then it overheats so quickly (light fixed barrel) that it pretty much as to be fed semi-auto only and the ammunition capacity is smaller and too slow to reload... squadies all agree the Bren gun (of 1935) is better in almost every way.
-non-adjustable shoulder-length/grip length
-no vertical fore-grip option
-absolutely no way to eject to the left for left side shooters, when other contemporary bullpups could.
-The entire system is monumentally expensive, 13x the cost of buying M16 rifles or other bullpup systems. Slap SUSAT scope on that and it would have been as good.
-other commonwealth nations like Australia and New Zealand had no shame in using foreign design. Even the Lee Enfield and SLR were foreign rifle designs (though modified).
-still reliability problems even after the A2 upgrade
-extremely limited modularity
-so bad that it has had practically no export sales.

Semi-Pros:
-not inaccurate, but not supper accurate either. All the accuracy claims are unfair as it compared the SLR with iron sights against the SA80 with the SUSAT scope... a 4x magnification scope. The SLR in fact had a similar scope, the SUIT sight but the test was so corrupt it excluded that comparison
-Bullpup means it is slightly easier to aim. A long barreled weapon is like a weight on the end of a lever, it is harder to keep the sights perfectly still on target. But offset by how full-auto is always employed
-Bullpup means it is somewhat easier to use in trenches
-it is possible to disengage the safety with the trigger finger, but not re-engage it without moving your left hand.
-trigger isn't as bad as other bullpup rifles, still very stiff.

Really, the sooner this weapon is trashed the better.

It has been an overly wrought, expensive mess.

in 1988 there was the option to buy M16 rifles at $420 a piece. They turned that down.

Each weapon now costs $17'000 a piece and is a massive liability.

I havent played Battlefront in forever but i don't remember having a problem with the Beam Rifle... Hmm maybe i should go play it again and find out.
It can kill in one body shot, but you have to keep it aimed at the enemy because the entire beam isn´t fired instantly.

Buster Blade:
It's known to be Clouds best weapon ever, and is everyone favorite, except for the fact that you replace it literally as early as possible. The first weapon you find is better, the slums sell better weapons than the Buster blade
I agree with this. They really should have made something akin to the Fusion Swords as his ultimate weapon, so that the game and Advent Children had yet another reference to eachother.

That, and we still don't know where those god damn swords came from.

The grenade launcher in Mass Effect 2, who used that thing?! You have a better heavy weapon from the very start! (DLC admittedly but it's FREE!)
Then once you get the collector particle beam all other heavy weapons become moot.
Everything BUT the Cain, that thing is so fucking cool.

Sword with handle like a gun. Sure it terrible handle but it is still a sword. I would say that there are far worse weapons than that.

Wow, there are people who STILL don't understand how Squalls gunblade works? It's a vibroblade, you pull the trigger as you hit the enemy, it fires a blank, the vibration increases cutting power. What's so hard to grasp about it? If you want a real gunblade, see Lightning.

As for worst, the stick from Ico. My god how awful was that?

I thought they became rather reliable after H&K fixed them? At least that's what the officials say.

OT: Daikatana had some really shitty guns, plenty of which were either totally useless or much more likely to kill you rather than your enemy.
The titular weapon was pretty cool though, at least to my 12-year-old self.

I'd say don't think about how it works; just know you can stab and shoot somebody at the same time.
