Which videogame weapon do you think is best and why?

Personally I love the shotgun in Perfect Dark...difficult to aim properly but when you hit somebody it has some effect...

Infact Perfect Dark has a few really good weapons...

Then there's the sniper rifle in Goldeneye, which is still good fun to use (perhaps because it was one of the first to appear in a videogame)

And some of the weapons from Turok games, especially Turok 2....



Cheers,

Freeze Ray in Duke Nukem - It's great when you freeze the other guy and then walk up tp them and kick them so they shatter.

Also very cool is when you use the Mighty Foot - Two of you going at each other trying to kick each other to death normally results in fits of laughter !!

The best weapon I've ever used in a game is the Expander from Duke Nukem Atomic Edition. Very much like the shrink ray, but with a reverse effect, which when fired at an enemy expands them to an enormous size until they blow up with blood and guts flying everywhere. Pretty fun to use and funny to watch.
