Most people dont know it, but im kinda a sucker for weapons. Not real ones ofcourse, but the ones in vidya games. I like good reloading sequences, design, feel of power, Fun using a weapon and the sound - and rarely, games get it right, with few exceptions. This is my personal list, based on games i played - so sum may be obscure, but what the hell ;3

1 - Killing Floor: Hunting Shotgun

This one sums up entirely what i expect from a VG gun. The sound is great and you can clearly see its Power as it plows thru the wave of speciments - hell, anytiem ya shot it, yer char might as well start singing Trololol song. The reload animation...gawd, that is just awesum, ya can clearly hear yer char cursing the speciments as he pops the two shells with such ANGER, its just orgasmic. Most weapons in KF have great animations and sounds, mostly the Shotguns departement - only reason AA12 didnt made it in the list is the fact, it doesnt feel powerfull at all :/ It eaven feels weaker after seeing the black guy from Expendables plow thru an corridor full of soldiers - that was at least one momerable scene from dat movie :o

2 - Black: AK47

Actualy, i could put just "Black", since all the weapons in that darn game are great - but AK47 just steals the show, i mean, ya can mount an silencer on it! The reload animation steals the show, where ya can eaven see the round in the mag, just waiting to be fired. As this game came almoust at the end of the Xbawks lifetime, people rarely remember it, altho it took really the last bit of power from the good ol black box, making weapons look and sound as great as they could possibly be - but eaven with Hollywood Orchestra Score, lacking any good story and ending on a strange...cliffhanger made this game forgetefull.

3 - Counter Strike: AWP

Ah yes, the AWP - its gunfire sound might as well be gods voice, such power. Altho the limitation of the era made the reloading look quite dull, the sheer power of this weapon and THAT SOUND, made it my favourite. Too bad i could never use it since people dont like playing with power and just baned it from every match :/ Speaking about dreams shattered.

4 - Unreal Tournament: Flak Cannon

Simply put on the list cuz the Grenade has a Goddamn smiley on it - true, ya can only see it a millisecond before yer head starts rolling around the ground, but its friendly allright :D But that aside, it was one of the top weapons of the game - sharing its top place with sludge cannon and teleporter gun. Aside of its secondary fire mentioned above, the primary shot a bunch of metal pieces, which bounced around the room and corners, liek a rain of destruction on yer enemies. As with every weapon in the UT, it has no reloading and design - i dont know, it still reminds me of VW beetle, i dont know why :/

5 - Gears of War 1&2 - Torque Bow

I can still remember running after this weapon anytiem it spawned - nice shooting sequence that resulted in satisfying swoosh, followed by most pleasing thunk and orgasmic kaboom :D True, reloading was quite dull and the design was as with every other GoW weapons - looking like sumthing, with preety lights and lots of bump maping - probably the reason why so many weapons on this list are plane old guns is the fact that imaginery always vaguely resemble a pipe with sum gun parts :o
