The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!
The "huntsman" bow and arrow for the sniper in TF2.

AA12 in Killing Floor
The Farsight in Perfect Dark. Alas, I'll never be as good with it like I was back in high school.
The Seeker from Singularity is greatly under appreciated like the whole. It fires a steerable bullet and slows time down while doing so.
BTW, any smart asses that want to go "Well Ackchyually" that the gun shoots the whole bullet with the casing, it's based on gyrojet guns.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but the Magnum in L4D2. For whatever reason, it's the most satisfying gun I've used in any game - the weight, action, recoil and sound all come together in a perfect package.
Yeah, that gun rocks. The magnum in Black Mesa is also pretty great, and probably based on the same feel.
Your comment just made me realize that I bought Black Mesa awhile back and never got around to playing it. Thanks for resurrecting a forgotten piece of my Steam library, kind stranger!
Have fun, it's fantastic!
Stuff that makes enemies explode in 1 hit, like bfg10k or the sniper ray in quake 3. As for more absurd things, armed and dangerous had shark guns, reverse gravity gun and others
Quake super nail gun
Railgun, Quake II.
Rocket launcher, Quake III
ASMD, Unreal/Unreal Tournament
Any good stake weapons (Painkiller, FEAR?).
Damn I remember crouching on painkiller so I could stake enemies to the ceiling
I was hoping someone would mention the disc launcher!
We used to play the shareware version on the school computers whenever we had free time. Shazbot!
We still playin its free now
In one match I got two air disc kills over 300m. I was a god damn sniper with that thing.
A feel-good lifetime memory!
Flak cannon from unreal tournament 2004.
Having a shotgun and a long range AOE explosive round was just too much fun.
Flak cannon on original UT was better, by my opinion.
I’m gonna put forward an uncommon weapon. Counter strike’s Zeus. I have 5000+ hours in csgo/cs2 and I have enjoyed the times when me and some friends have Zeused the enemy team more than any other kind of gameplay. You can jump around inferno apps, out of windows, up through windows, in and around boiler, on balcony while boosting a mate. Hide on the boxes on site and jump down to short. Same with nuke.
M1 Garand in the old Call of Duty games.
Love me a quick single shot rifle and the iconic ping sound when it reloads is just chef's kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lezq2l-Z_wc
I loved the kar98k even more. My friend and I would one v one on small maps only using this weapon. So much fun. And the single player sniper missions with it were great.
oof good answer
Unreal 2 black hole cannon
Farsight from Perfect Dark
What about the laptop turret, that was a fun one!
I almost said the Laptop Gun too. That game was full of cool and original weapons, second only to the Turok series
The Cerebral Bore from Turok 3, Shadows of Oblivion.
Honestly the whole weapon set was super unique and fun for deathmatch. Too bad the recent remake excluded multiplayer entirely... I'm still very sour about it.
The split screen multiplayer where one person would be a monkey while the others hunted it was so much fun. I can see the cerebral bore squirting monkey brains so clearly in my mind.

The bolt thrower in painkiller.
railgun, red faction
Yesssss. I also loved the pistol in that game. It was one of the first games i came across where the pistol was just as deadly (in the right hands) as most anything else you could get.
Side note, why the fuck don't we have games with destructible environments anymore? I know BF4 has it, but the only other FPS I can think of that did it as well as red faction was 'Black' in 2006.
Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?

The flak cannon from Unreal. It's just a more fun and innovative type of shotgun with grenade launcher.
Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.
Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.
I'm kinda torn between Unreal Tournament's (ut99) sniper rifle, flak cannon and the instagib variant of the shock rifle.
Definitely the flak cannon. But I also really liked th3 disk gun, especially the sound of disks flying past you.
Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.

Rise of the Triad's Flamewall.
I just got a classic FPS tattoo from my friend I used to play these games with. I got something from the original Doom. I've always wanted a mushroom tattoo though and I think it will be the mushroom powerup from Rise of the Triad.
