Favourite video game weapons of all time. Post yours:

My top 5

1. Farsight sniper rifle from Perfect Dark - N64
2. Laptop gun from Perfect Dark - N64
3. D-Gun - TA
4. Blue spiked shell from Mario Cart - Super Nintendo
5. Double-Barreled Shotgun - Doom 95

BFG- Doom 1,2,3
Combine Rifle- HL2
Double Barreled Shotgun- Doom 2,3
Lightsaber- KOTOR 1 and 2 (and all other Jedi games, obviously)

Double barreled shotty: timesplitters
Magnum: HL (never get enough ammo though)
Magnum: RE0-4
HA punch: Dystopia

Concussion Rifle: Dark Forces
Glass Halberd: TES3: Morrowind (it doesn't have to shoot stuff to kick ass, and to anyone who brings up the Daedric Crescent, it doesn't have to have the highest damage in the game to kick ass either, m0r0n)
D-Gun: Total Annihilation

Particle Projection Cannon- Mechwarrior 2 <--Blue balls of doom!
Singularity Planet Buster- Alpha Centauri
Flak Cannon- Unreal Tournament
Almost any artillery, especially tremors

Hm.. I've suddenly lost all memory of past games I've played.. Oh, here's a couple:

Fusion cannon (Descent 1)
Earthshaker missile (Descent 2)
Descent 3 had no good weapons... whole game was a morass of lameness

fully-upgraded Stealth Pistol (Deus Ex)

Prometheus cannon (Freespace)
Prometheus-R (freespace 2) (yes, the R was the lame one you get at the beginning of the game, but I love the sound it makes. Plus it's still a great gun)

Dark Trooper cannon (Dark Forces)
Heavy Repeater (JK 2 and JK 2.5)

My Krogoth's shotgun-o-death (TA)

I'll post some more if this game amnesia goes away

HL2 shotgun, revolver and "super-charged" zero point feild manipulator.

HL/2 RPG.
Devil dices, Alice in wonderland.
Flash/peewee EMG ( i hate brawlers) TA
Lurker spines, Starcraft
Koopa shell, SMBworld
Homming missle, Megaman X
Metal blade, Megaman 2

Thats all i can think of for now.

Reading deci's post reminds me... virtually any weapon in UT is liquid cool. Flak multirockets and lighting guns all just owned.

I forget the name, but one of Sung Mina's weapons in Soul Caliber 3 that looks like a blue broom.

Obviousely the master sword (or whichever the "shooty" sword in any particular Zelda Game)

The "option" upgrade in Gradius games where it multiplies all of the current upgrades that you ship has in a shadow ovaly thingy.

The D-Gun (TA like everyone else)

The Phaser for the Sega Master System (I think it count's) and to a lesser extent the NES Zapper, SuperScope Six, and the Arcade House of the Dead gun with the cool kickback.

Finally the Zombie Killing Keyboard from Typing of the Dead.

the cannon from serious sam

turok 2 spore gun (the weapon that shoots those head hunting spore balls that drill hole it the head and explodes when its inside... and it all ends headless and very bloody) ill try to make the all goodiness with words

first it lanches its this slow moving ball that makes odd noise *mimimimii* follows the enemys head grabs on the head and starts drilling a hole *squuuirt blood squirts and u hear bones snapping and the enemy twitches* then it stops drilling and *BOOM* head gets blows and blood everywhere...

that the best weapon there is


from IGN
Cerebral Bore: Perhaps the nastiest gun in Turok 2, this gun locks on to an enemy's brain waves and sends out a high speed drill bit that bores itself into the creature's head. You thought using a tek arrow was messy ? a party favorite.

1. Shotgun - Halo
2. Shotgun - Doom 3
3. Plasma rifle - Doom 1 & 2
4. PSG-1 - Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2
5. Dragunov SVD - Max Payne 2 (although great in most games)

oh and GunBlades from FF7 (the bestest RPG 'cept Grandia)

You mean FF8?

no, cloud has a gunblade IIRC as does Sephiroth

No he doesn't

That was strictly FF8 only, what a weird concept, I have heard of guns incorporating blades (essentially glorified baynette) but the other way around is idiotic, the FF series had a wide aray of crazy weapons that make little sense, I guess that's where the fantasy is, definitly not my cup of tea but my brother played it quite a bit.

it's actually quite hard picking a favorite weapon, many games got cool ones.

But real life weapons are much more easy for me, I am a big fan of the AK-Series of rifles, I kinda grew to love the AK, the AR-15 series of rifles just bore me now.

Q3 RBFG
Q2 Chaingun
Descent 2 Helix Cannon
Forsaken Pine Mine
Thumper's Flamethrower from Twisted Metal 2
The red machine gun from Armored Core.
Doom's Plasmagun.

I have a thing for rapidfire weapons in case you didn't notice.

Oooh, I forgot the Quake NIN gun, specifically the double barreled black one...

RailGun - Quake II
Imperial Repeater - JK
Tenloss Disruptor Rifle - JK 2
D Gun - Some game... thing.

Oh and a BLOD is always rather satisfying.
