The shotgun in the Metal Slug games... Not just the wave of destruction it unleashes, but the announcer's voice too. He's usually kind of bland on weapon pick-ups, but when you walk over that big 'S' icon... "SHAAWTGUN !!"

Mantus

My favorite weapon was the Blaster in Tribes 2.

It was probably the WORST weapon ever made in any game. And I was the only one I ever saw who used it effectively. Nothing better then seeing: "So-and-So was pinged to death by Mantus" when you kill some one.

I hear they are replacing it with a shotgun in Tribes Vengence ...I hope they atleast keep the shocklance which comes in as my second favorite weapon.

meepa

Funniest- The Ice/Freezing gun in Duke Nukem 3d... However, a close runner-up is the shrinking gun where you'd run up and step on the guy to kill him afterwards

Best "real" gun - Kar98 from DoD... Oooooh baby that handles nicely

Coolest - Lightsaber from Jedi Outkast2 (never played the 1st one). It was all right in single player, but when I played MP and you could do saber-only duels with people... That just brought a whole new level of deathmatch to me!

Destrox

Depends, in tribes1 the blaster was far more useful then in tribes2. I'd still manage off a few kills every round with it. (Was more of a disc / elf / grenade or sniper / shocklance / grenade person my self).

And what the hell are they thinking, removing the blaster? Blasphamy! Sickening to see a renegades based gun to be put into base!

A couple of favorites:
Flamethrower from fallout. The first time you fire it and see the enemy dance around and burn.
The Cannon from Serious Sam. A big cannon. Fun.

The sheepinator from racthet and clank: going commando. nothing's more fun than turning your enemies into sheep

Macheath

The F2000 from Splinter Cell (tweet, tweet, hiss...).

And hacking remote turrets in Deus Ex - then watching on camera as they get mowed down by their own weapons.

But I'm just a sneak.

bellzboy

Flak gun in UT
Sniper rifle and pistol in HALO
normal shotgun in Doom II
PP7, "D5K"(MP5), RCP 90, Moonraker in Goldeneye
BAR in MOH Frontline (well the 20 round clip gets annoying, but other than that)

Marburg

Gah! You bastard! I came to this thread specifically to suggest those two!

Well barring those two I'd have to say the sniper rifle from 1942. I just find the sound of firing follwed by the bolt action reload sound really satisfying.

Little did the allies know that the Germans actually developed railgun technology in 1937, they just put it in an oak frame with a bayonet and called in the Kar98.

The armageddon off of the worms series. Nothing says uncertainty quite like it. Either that or the Holy Hand Grenade, which is cool because of the Monty Python reference.

Homey_V

The VooDoo Doll from Blood 2 always makes me smile.

As does the Concussion Rifle from Jedi Knight...
Nothing like hitting someone with a condensed blast of air..

hu-man

The stake-shooter from the Painkiller demo is mighty fun... boring a stake through the head of a zombie, pinning him to the wall... oh yeah.
Also, the World's Most Interesting Bomb from MDK made me laugh. A lot...

bermuDa

steyr scout in cs

the ion painter in ut2k3 is really cool, not very practical though.

and of course, saber weapons in Jedi Knight, rawk on \m/

Damn, you beat me to it.

The Topsy-Turvy bomb has it's own cool factor, though

The Flamewall in Rise Of The Triad was rather effective as well.

Shoot, I liked the huge hurkin' sword you got in the first N64 zelda game - nothing like packing a piece of steel as large as you are!

Zander

Remote mines goldeneye

titsmurf

Railgun in quake 2 multiplayer, but with some modifications that turned off the annoying trail and made the sound better. It was a lot of fun to tag people with it. Bip... you're dead. Bip... you too. ALL MUST SURRENDER TO THE PLASMA TRAIL!

flamingdog

fibre wire in hitman. nasty.

kutulu

This is a tough question because there are so many great ones to choose from. A few that come to mind are the chainsaw in GTA: Vice City, Railgun from Quake, Remote Mines in Goldeneye, and tons of cool weapons in Diablo II.

However, in all my gaming, this is the best weapon ever:

The Black Sword in Ultima VII, Part I

Why you ask?

Well first of all, you have to forge the weapon yourself, which was a pretty long task gathering everything. Secondly, you entrap a deamon inside of it so the sword can talk to you. Third, it is super powerfull, and last, it is the ONLY way (that I know of) to kill Lord British!

What else could you want?

Esoteric

All the guns in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. A personal favorite would have to be the Plasma Storm.

Wombat

Quake III's railgun, because accuracy is well-rewarded.

CryptikSoul

Fly-by-wire rockets in Perfect Dark.
The purple spiked shell in Mario Kart.
The Chronoscepter in Turok.
The Shield Rod/Alucard Shield combo in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (so ridiculously overpowered, you can kill anything, even Dracula, in like 2 seconds.)

i liked the ff8 gunblades, i thought they cool!

Goomba

red shells from Mario Kart, are always a classic.

Seer666

The Guy Fawks Traitor Bomb from Armed and Dangerous(Just cause of the name), and the sniper rifle in Halo. Course, if you got a modded XBox so you can use the Halo Cashe editor, the assult rifle with fuel rod gun ammo is sweet. Call it the "Carpet Bomber"
