The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!

Probably an unpopular opinion, but the Magnum in L4D2. For whatever reason, it’s the most satisfying gun I’ve used in any game - the weight, action, recoil and sound all come together in a perfect package.
Yeah, that gun rocks. The magnum in Black Mesa is also pretty great, and probably based on the same feel.
Your comment just made me realize that I bought Black Mesa awhile back and never got around to playing it. Thanks for resurrecting a forgotten piece of my Steam library, kind stranger!
Make sure to enjoy Blue Shift as well, it is in the workshop!
Have fun, it’s fantastic!
The remote charge from Red Faction, cant remember the exact name but it was great for embracing my want to dig around and cause chaos.
Original Unreal Tournament shock rifle. Nothing has ever been quite as satisfying as nailing a perfect shock combo.
But close second is the Tribes mortar. Tribes 2 especially. The teamplay potential with the laser designator was an incredible bit of design.
I always liked double pistols in Serious Sam. They had infinite ammo and felt pretty good to shoot.
The SH1900 from The Finals is one of the most satisfying guns I’ve used in a game before. Kicks like a horse but chunks away enemy health bars. High risk, high reward, high octane. And the audio just thumps you right in the chest with every shot, almost as much as the folks on the business end of the barrel.
Unreal 2 black hole cannon
This bad boy from Dark Forces:
Concussion Rifle. Sounded like a banshee’s scream when fired. Too bad it got neutered in the sequel though.
The razorjack from Unreal 1 would have to be my favourite.
I’m gonna put forward an uncommon weapon. Counter strike’s Zeus. I have 5000+ hours in csgo/cs2 and I have enjoyed the times when me and some friends have Zeused the enemy team more than any other kind of gameplay. You can jump around inferno apps, out of windows, up through windows, in and around boiler, on balcony while boosting a mate. Hide on the boxes on site and jump down to short. Same with nuke.
Railgun, Quake II.
Rocket launcher, Quake III
ASMD, Unreal/Unreal Tournament
Any good stake weapons (Painkiller, FEAR?).
Damn I remember crouching on painkiller so I could stake enemies to the ceiling
Lol, same
Hagar from Xonotic.

Long barrel ksg. Many good memories trolling on Hijacked.
Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.
Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.
The one that’s the most fun and made me feel the most powerful is the VSS from STALKER. Learning the bullet drop and managing to head shot a moving target is very satisfying.
Super Shotgun from Doom 2, love the feeling when you shoot it.
To quote Civvie:
…it’s not important compared to The Super Shotgun. The ultimate demon slaying weapon, the pinnacle of shotguns. You think “why don’t they just call it the double barrel?”. Because it’s better. Because it’s super.
