The DIY Video Game Arsenal Thread
 

This could go in the gaming section, but seeing that I only post halfway intelligent content in Tilted Weaponry, I'll drop it here.

I grew up playing Wolfenstein, Blake Stone, Rise of the Triad and Doom... so I'm used to thinking of the number keys on my keyboard as my private arsenal. I'm not really into video games anymore (occasionally I'll find myself in front of a PC game), but I do have fond memories of pressing 4 and mowing down Imps with my rotary-barrel "chain gun." Nothing was more satisfying than using the super boomstick on a snarling pink demon.

The purpose of this thread is to make up a list of guns that you'd like to have in a shooting game. For the sake of the thread, stick to weapons that exist in the real world. The BFG-9000, M41A, and the Phased Plasma Rifle in 40 Watt Range don't actually exist, guys. Trust me... I searched Gunbroker.

... just tried to put together a list... basically, take the goldeneye 007 lineup and add return to castle wolfenstien's minigun and flamethrower into the lineup as well as the Mauser rifle with removable scope. perfect!

My list was inspired by the title of the book The Last Canadian.

In a game/movie scenario where the zombie apocalypse or the fall of the Western world ensues, this is the equipment I'd grab before making my way to rendezvous with Plan9 at our predetermined destination. (I'd have my copy of the TFP archives on a flashdrive of course.)
