I'd have to go with the Flail of Ages from BG2. It's multiheaded and kills trolls, what more could you want?

Grav gun in Half-life 2. Endless fun pummeling hordes of headcrab zombies to death with levitating furniture.

Large Plasma Accelerator, Elite 3. The single most completely and ridiculously unnecessary weapon I've ever ecountered in gaming.

Super Shotgun from Doom 2.

BOOM click clack clock BOOM.

You can't be serious. I've lost count of the times I got my ass chewed off my pinkies while the reload animation's playing out.

For me it's the railgun from Q3A.

But it destroys long range cruiser with two shots! :M

Penis in Immoral Cummbat
Flamethrower in F2.
Crusader's 2-handed axe +1 in Wiz7 was very memorable. Such good weapon for early game.

Most of the weaponry in Unreal, honorable mentions to pre-patch flakcannon, eightball, and unique dual interlocking gatling minigun.

Also Muatra, but I wouldn't dare to wield it.

Ah, yes, the Penis Size Compensation Cannon, I remember it well.

StG-44 in Red Orchestra. It feels like you're a supersoldier from the future whereas everyone has BB guns or bolt-action rifles.

Also any sniper rifle in any game ever.

Searching for my kidnapped sister
Katana in VTMB. It's so ambiently contradictorily sexiness, especially with Velvet Velor in red.

Minicrossbow in DeusEx. It's a challenge, and I almost always out of tranq darts.

Ithaca shotgun (the very first) in Fallout Tactics. The doubleshot is so very useful until you can get burst-capable shotgun in early-middle game. AK47 too.

Devastator in Duke Nukem 3D.

This, and anything else that is so badass it has to be mounted on your arms. More manliness if dual wielded.

The minimizer and the freeze guns in DN3D were also rather cool.

Gunporn from ArmA2 satisfies my needs for guns well:

M4A3 rifle with Aimpoint or ACOG plus AN/PEQ-2 IR laser
M16A4 rifle with ACOG plus AN/PEQ-2 IR laser
Mk16 Mk4CQ/T (has optics with adjustable magnification)
Mk48 machinegun with Aimpoint plus AN/PEQ-2 IR laser
M110 sniper rifle with night vision or thermal optics
SVD Dragunov (cool rifle because it has both optics and close quarter combat ironsights)

UT99:
Flak cannon
Machinegun
Rocket launcher

Doom:
Double-barreled shotgun
Plasma rifle

Fallout:
That automatic rifle with optics whatsitzname

I liked the pistol from Splinter Cell. I like the pistols from most games as long as they aren't too weak.
