What makes a FPS cool? its guns man! I make a list of my favourite guns of all time. Add some more if you feel.

10.) The Snark Gun in Half Life
Its one of the collest weapons out there that fires living things! Those snarks can take the down the toughest of enemies!
09.) The GES Biorifle in Unreal Tournament
A mine laying gun! It is some fun when you make a layer of bio-slug on water surface underneath which lies you enemy.
08.) Lightsaber in Jedi Knight II
The cooolest weapon in an FPS ever.
07) Rail Gun in Q3A
One shot kill weaapon and perhaps the most famous in Q3A
06.) BFG 10K In Quake II
BFG stands for the Big, Fu... err Freakin' Gun! Vaporises everything in its path.
05.) Shrink Ray in Duke Nukem 3D
Honey I shrunk the enemies!
04.) AWM in Counter-Strike
Number 1 gun for all your camping needs!
03.) Redeemer in Unreal Tournament
The most powerfull weapon in Unreal tournament, said to be a thermonuclear device.
02.) Flame Thrower in Return to Castle Wolfenstein
How do you want your enemies - crisp or rare?
01.) SBC Cannon in Serious Sam
The most innovative weapon. It is like bowling with human pins!

"Halo shotgun = Worst shotgun ever.

Atrocious blasphemy to the good names of gaming shotguns."

What? I quite liked it.

The original AvP minigun was decent - but you couldn't walk while firing.

The smart gun and pulse rifle were great, though. I wish Hick's shotgun had been in.

if it was a bit more powerful, the EMP function of Unreal 2's Energy rifle would be my favourite.

Unreal 2's shotgun is also great fun when firing incendiary rounds. that's my second favourite weapon, because the explosions are amusingly effective.

Unreal 2's Incendiary grenades. These grenades are pleasing to watch, and sound great when they create a backflash...

RCTW's flamethrower. This weapons is one of the coolest existing, and so are the nazis that carry it, with their evil-lookin' cloaks and masks. why is it that evil is cool?...

Alien vs predator 2's Minigun. This is a REAL minigun. UT and UT2k3's miniguns can hang their head in shame.

The garand rocks, great fun with it. Just been playing CoD online and I always pick the rifle. But I generally end up picking up the machine gun sort of weapon.

The Garand, are you sure? it's an accurate weapons which is good but it forces you to shoot off every round before you can reload, and that can be troublesome at times. Personally I'd choose the M1 Carbine, a less powerful rifle, but it holds more bullets and has non of the reloading issues of the garand.

And for my list of weapons, here goes:

The Expander Gun - Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition: Has basically the opposite effect as the shrink ray, expanding the enemy outwards until he explodes in a hail of blood and guts. One of the funniest weapons I've ever used.

Colt Commando - Max Payne 2: A very powerful and accurate weapon, one of my favorite game weapons around but I liked it best in the max payne games.

Lightsabre - Jedi outcast: 'the' best fictional weapon ever, bar none.

Grav Gun - Half Life 2: I'm perhaps being a little premature with this weapon, since I haven't once used it and will unlikely to for a few months yet, but from what I've seen it looks a blast to use and will, I'm guessing, be among one of the more stand out guns in the game.

I think on of the best weapons ever in FPS's is the Thompson Sub-machine gun. If your a MOHAA fan, COD, or BF 1942, or Veitcong, or many other games, it remains one of the best weapons that has been put into a game.

Sniper on Halo was ust about perfectly executed, especially with the whol 'Click-to-zoom' on the Xbox version.

Oh, and the Uber-machine-gun-thing in Splinter Cell.

"MOH Shotguns"

Urrrrgh. The Allied Assault shotgun felt like something they'd put in at the last minute. It didn't feel, sound or play like a shotgun does in other games. In short, it sucked.
