Best gun in any video game, ever?

Razorwind from Turok 2 is the greatest FPS weapon of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Honorable Mention:
Nuke Weapon from Turok 2
Tek Bow from Turok 2/The Ripoff Bow from Gears of War
Laptop Gun from Perfect Dark
Super Dragon from Perfect Dark aka the most unbalanced gun of of forever
P90 - Goldeneye
Grenade Launcher from Goldeneye - why don't any games let you lob grenades with this much velocity/distance/accuracy/bouncing fun? Every time I shoot a GL in another game and I see the grenade cooking on the ground as it rolls away from where I shot it I SMH
Pistol from Halo: CE
Ice beam - Super Metroid and Metroid Prime
Gravity Gun - Half Life 2

Headshot: dead
torso: dead
arm: dead
leg: dead
index finger: 1 hp left, assuming you have full body armor before hit.

But I thought everyone played GE MP in License to Kill mode...
 
Well, that's easy.

Anyone that has used this weapon knows exactly what I'm talking about. Surgical precision, ability to go up elevators somehow, punches through anything, AND levels about a city block when it hits something?

:lol

I never liked this gun at all. It's simply TOO powerful and has zero weakness. Infinite ammo, no reaload, rapid fire, kills anything in seconds. How is this fun? Powerful weapons need equally powerful limitations to counterbalance them. The best weapons make you appreciate their power by keeping the game at least somewhat challenging.

The handcannon would be a much better choice.

Very true, with the Typewriter I was thinking of something more along the lines of "most powerful weapon", but I almost went with the Killer7 instead. Good call.

Fixed.

- Portal Gun
- Melee weapons (Because I love taking an axe to stuff)

Yeah I'm going to agree. Nothing like having an engagement go sideways until you realize you have to end it now or you're losing the whole squad. Then finally figuring out where the #*(#ing Ethereals are hiding and having your best NCO program a Blaster shot to loop around behind them and then do a search around the darkened room (abusing your knowledge of the UFO's layout to make sure you avoid pillars etc) until it finally hits a hidden Sectopod and goes off. The echoing screech of multiple dying aliens is like the sweetest music, sure you just nuked a lot of valuable alien kit you could have sold but the wounded soldiers at least get brought back to base. :D

If we can be real for a second.. there seriously is no gun better than the Farsight. PERIOD.

It has xray vision, can fire an infinite distance through walls, and even tracks enemies.

mhhh, but the Auger Rifle in Resistance can see enemies through walls, fires an infinite distance through walls & the shot gains power with each object passed AND it creates shields with its secondary fire which can only be penetrated by other Auger Rifles.
 
Throwing in another vote for the Doom II Super Shotgun. The incredible sound that gun makes will be burned into my brain until I die.
 
SHOMBO!


why haven't I heard this from a custom UT3 announcer yet? it use to be my reason for playing. have i just not gotten into the right modded server?

So yeah, another (correct) vote for the shock rifle.

SHOMBO MOTHER FUCKER

Yeah but that's just a cheap knockoff model of the farsight :lol
 
The gun in Duke Nukem 3D wich you shrank people with, and then had to run over and step on them in order to kill them. That's the coolest gun I've used, especially on LAN.
It were also fun when you managed to escape, after beeing shrunk. :P

or

The nail-gun in Killzone 2, where you shoot people with a giant nail and then pin them to the walls behind them, and then the nail explodes afterwards is really the only cool also.

Turok 2 and Perfect Dark pretty much own it all for me.

Doesn't it shoot something when you press R1 when attacking ?

Zenith said:
? It did in the game. And it clearly has a barrel, bullet chamber and trigger.

Nope.

It has a chamber and a trigger but no barrel.

When you pulled R1 the sword would heat up/vibrate to increase cutting power.

Basically like Nero's sword in DMC4 but without the need to charge.

True as this may be for FF8, he does manage to shoot things with it in Kingdom Hearts and Dissidia.

Having said that, Ratchet's rift inducer is cooler anyway.

Completely IMBA.

We should also have a best sword/melee weapon of all time thread.

Why did this take until page 2? For shame.

X-Com's blaster launcher is a close second.

In Kindom Hearts he casts fire from his empty hand.

In Dissidia all of his projectiles are magic, again from his hand.

So uh, we goin' back to talking about actual projectile weapons anytime soon? :lol
