What are the best FPS weapons ever?

[Detomah]

What in your opinion are the best FPS weapons ever, game specific and weapon specific to a particular game?

Not personally being a big FPS fan and having limited experience of playing any kind of game in that genre, mine really has to be the electric tazer in Postal 2, although is that even a proper FPS in the first place?

sorry but the BFG has to be the be all and end all of glorious weapons even the name signifies its superiority.

Crossbows rule in general but the crossbow on TimeShift is brilliant.

Explosive arrows with a delayed charge so you can freeze time and shoot an entire room full of people then they all explode at the same time .

moonraker lasers in goldeneye :p

[X-Buster!]

Half-Life shotgun

[Puratech]

Impact Hammer, Unreal Tournament.

Was in a clan where we only used that weapon, including in massively open terrain. Was very funny, dodging stuff until youre close enough to gib them

[Fallen-Angel]

Cerebral bore-Turok series

[coldintheshower]

Noobie Cannon - Flak Cannon Unreal Tournament

I LOVED red factions Rail Driver where it has a special vision to see people ANYWHERE in the level and it shoots through ANYTHING, so no matter where they were on the level if you looked around hard enough you could find them and shoot them dead in one hit! And it looked cool!

Ahh I remember that, Awesome gun.. Could use it to find people and kill them with other guns to save ammo heh.

I enjoy the crowbar Up close and personal
Second to that would be rocket launcher. I like watching things go BOOM!

when i was playing mutli player with my m8s on red faction 2 back when we was in school i used to have a little tactic where i would blow up a very small crack in one of the destructible pillars and crawl in under it and stay in the middle of the pillar then i would use the rail gun to "snipe" people across the level...so great, then it would be hard to find me

great when you would get double rail.

my own favourite though has to be the BFG from quake 2, i loved the fact you could miss and a line if plasma would pop out and track whoever you missed causing them damage and of course direct hits were brutal. close 2nd the BFG from original doom.
