The shrinker from Duke3D was definately the most funny weapon developed. :D

The BFG &amp; the Spinfuser (disklauncher). The spinfuser is such a well rounded weapon. Flys straight and true, easy to time, and can assist you in your ultimate high jump competition. However, the sheer room-clearing ability of the BFG is sweet too.

Rail gun in Red Faction
BFG9000 in Doom 1/2
Flamethrower in RTCW, although ammo was so hard to come by I ended up saving what I had the whole time.

EDIT: Oh, and the sniper from Max Payne, where it'd follow the bullet into the enemy's skull.

Hahaha, what a horrible game.

The scepter was pretty sweet though.
