The Five Coolest Weapons In Games

InsideGamer writes: "Donkey Kong used wooden barrels used to Mario at bay, while Pacman simply, at certain times, the ghosts devoured. Since the advent of the First-Person Shooter are however slightly more sophisticated weapons. Handguns, shotguns, grenade launchers, rail guns, shooting many witnesses over the years have passed in review. When it comes to most guns in a game, then it seems that the newly published Borderlands arms race that will win. I have not yet heard all the weapons in the game has counted, but there are reportedly about 500,000. Of course there are many weapons in that tiny way to differ, but still."

Oh hell yeah. I like the original Halo pistol, but the R2 one was great. You could set traps with it, it was awesome.

R.Y.N.O or the supernova from ratchet and clank, along with a handful of other weapons from the games could be on a list all by themselves

The Cerebal Bore wins this list everytime they have one.

I'd definately put it at second thou.

Is 3 red shells considered a weapon?

Good list.

2.2 - The three red shells
are definitely considered a weapon, and a badass one at that!!

And I will say that the Cerebral Bore is downright vicious, but the gravity gun is at least MY favorite.

Well if I had a dollar for everytime I killed someone in Battlemode on Mariokart 64 in the first 10 secs after getting 3 red shells right away...

Actually I didn't do it that often.

For the sake of friendship we decided I shouldn't take more than 2 balloons at a time, especially at the start. 2 were fair game but.

My friends hated me on that game.

Yeah that would get my vote.

Even the 1 shot Fat Man is impressive.

No contest.

although grav gun was great, it doesn't count as a gun imho, as it's a tool that turns things into weapons, not a weapon itself until it's supercharged.

Nothing beats the shock combos [shoot secondary fire with the primary fire] of original Unreal Tournament, not when you're popping off multiple dodge combos from halfway across the map splattering foes everywhere with elite skills. The goop gun is also ftw.

For me, I'd also choose the Boltok in Gears: popping multiple heads per clip in horde is good for making trouser tents as your buddies all witness your awesome.

Thats Weapons, not guns.

And one could argue by your rational that if the Gravity Gun isnt a weapon until its supercharged, a gun isnt a weapon until its loaded.

the nailgun in killzone 2 is a lot better, with that blast after pinning, of course it wasnt the first, also the lancer is awesome, be it cause of the chainsaw, the solid feeling of the bullets just blasting out of the nozzle or red burning tip and smoke after shooting, i think its the best part of gears, that gun. I also love the splicer and the Auger, best sci fi gun in an FPS ive played. This list is too limited :/

Why is there a picture of the Freezegun instead of the Shrinkgun for Duke Nukem 3D?

Is it just FPS, or any genre? I'd pick Gunblades.

Well, all that really matters is #1 and they clearly got it right on this list. Cerebral Bore IS the best weapon in gaming. :D

But a new weapon I am fond of it the Bolt Gun in KZ2. I love nailing Helgasts to walls. :D

Title should be coolest "guns" in games with a list like that. If we're talking weapons in general I would have to go with the vector cannon.

its really lame to see "coolest weapons" lists... becuz when I ses them, there is NEVER a Ratchet and Clank weapon on the list, it makes no sense.. but its probably becuz Ratchet and Clank has to many cool weapons :) so its all good
