Not necessarily the best or most useful, but the ones that just make you feel like a boss when you use it.

I'll start with what inspired me to make this thread in the first place:

The main assault rifle (whatever it's actually called) in Killzone Shadow Fall. Although really, I'm referring to the alternate fire mode:

Not only is it powerful, but charging it up combined with the sound effects it makes...so good.

 

[Ouren]

Flak Cannon

 

[ViciousDS]

the original Halo Pistol

/thread (for me at least lol)

 

[Mystery]

My favorite guns:

L23 Fareye (Resistance: Fall of Man)
Battle Rifle (Halo 3)
Flak Cannon (Unreal Series)
Auger (Resistance: Fall of Man)
M40A3 (Call of Duty 4)

[Drakeon]

Half-Life Shotgun. Loved the alt fire on that puppy.

This is just: Shotgun the thread, isn't it?

I'd add the Sickle, from Killzone: SF on there too, so many 1 hits in multiplayer.

 

[BY2K]

The A.J.M 9 and Galleria 1991 from Far Cry: Blood Dragon.

 

[DarknessTear]

I'm a big fan of shotguns in FPS games. The one in Bulletstorm and the SPAS-12 in Modern Warfare 2 come to mind when it comes to favorite shotguns.

 

[PaulExcellent]

The guns from Resistance: Fall of Man.
Just started the game, so I don't know the names, but they just feel good.

Bingo.

 

[nkarafo]

The original Perfect Dark had some pretty satisfying guns with cool sound effects and reload animations. And i always loved how the weapons move independently from the first person camera.

 

[Kopite]

The original Halo Pistol.

HL2's Gravity Gun.

Fallout 3's M.I.R.V.

Shotgun in Gears

 

[Radec]

I'll just leave it here killzone fans.

[bigboss370]

every gun practically in killzone 3.

[Macsta]

BFG... Nuff said

 

[infiniteheteroskdasticity]

While I like the Killzone Shadow Fall rail gun it has two notable issues. It goes through ammo like there's no tomorrow and while the secondary fire is fun, using it drains your ds4 battery even quicker. I preferred the Keyser in that game. With the scope and homing rockets secondary fire it was bloody good.

Of all time I'm going to have to go with the Sniper rifle in the original Halo. Such a fun weapon to use with such a great scope.

 

[The Interrobanger]

Everything in Killzone 2 and Bulletstorm.

 

[kazebyaka]

 

[Zukuu]

Flak Cannon

first post nails it

 

[Imperial]

 

[supernormal]

the original Halo Pistol

/thread (for me at least lol)

This. Also shotguns in early RE Games.

 

[Shrennin]

The original Halo pistol definitely comes to mind.

Also, while technically not first person shooters, the Gears shotgun and torque bow were also really satisfying for me as well.

 

[blamite]

This one too!

 

[Robot Pants]

Guys.... FIRST person shooters.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Mauler in Halo 3.

It was a tiny, handheld, squeaky shotgun.

Although it may have been done better in Marathon, originally.

 

[captainraincoat]

Cerebal bore

[HigherLevel]

Pretty much every gun in Halo 1-3, Gears of War 1-3, and all the Unreal Tournament games.

 

[Pop]

Borderlands the Thread

 

[Steel]

Mauler in Halo 3.

It was a tiny, handheld, squeaky shotgun.

Although it may have been done better in Marathon, originally.

So much more satisfying in Marathon man. The mauler in halo felt dirty.

For me the most satisfying:

Unreal tournament uno. The minigun.

 

[SneakyStephan]

I shall post in images not words

edit: yeah on consoles the halo 1 pistol was a very well designed gun.

 

[JordanN]

The DXR-6 disruptor rifle in Star Wars Jedi Outcast.

If you're successful, a charged shot could instant kill anyone and the animation would show the person vaporizing. The aiming reticule when you're in scope mode also looks so cool.

 

[Astarte]

BLACK's shotgun. Scratch that, all the guns from BLACK.

 

[rrs]

Nothing like a heavily modded 9mm pistol in the Deus Ex series: a simple, cheap, accurate, powerful machine of death.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

the original Halo Pistol

This.
Now I leave.

 

[flamingotripod]

When I got gears and did this, I went wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwow and pretty much did this for the next 50 kills

 

[alazz]

Gravity Gun, Revolver, and Crossbow in HL2DM. I think due to the poor balance and chaotic action in the multiplayer, they're way more fun than they are in HL2 singleplayer.

Flak cannon, FEAR Shotgun, RE4 rifle, and Bulletstorm I wholly agree with. Even the goddamn starting pistol in RE4 is a blast to pop head shots with.

 

[Sir Abacus]

I'm disappointed.

This has been and always will be the most satisfying gun ever in existence.

 

[super-famicom]

Killzone 2 shotgun and M82
Halo pistol
