Most satisfying-sounding weapon to fire

[BiscuitTrouser]

I actually own a 454 casull revolver. It sounds like a damn cannon. Seriously, get a real gun people. Games downplay the significance of damage a gun can do to your ears. I fired a .45 caliber pistol without hearing protection and I nearly crapped myself in pain.
Guns are real; games are not realistic. Learn from reality not the posers.

Agreed, i was working down at the shooting range where the military sometimes pull out some epic stuff and i heard some shotguns going off further down. Along with what sounded like an LMG. Even with ear protection the booms were intense. The chatter of the LMG was also pretty epic, and i was way down the range from that thing.

Many Bad Company 2 guns and the M4A1 from CSS.

How about all the artilleries from Company of Heroes? They are guns right?

I actually like the sound of the DMR. It sounds like the gun is...accurate (I'm not quite sure what accuracy sounds like).

I agree, I think it sounds accurate. And beastly.
OT: All of Battlefield Bad Company 2's weapons are so... boomph..

Sawn-off in RDR sounds pretty awesome, well, not sounds, just feels awesome. Compact death ftw.

Also, the Desert Eagle in both Call of Duty Modern Warfare games. I love the fact that it's basically the loudest gun in the game, and it's a pistol. Fuck yes. Inaccurate? Yes. Bulky, and completely missing the point of a handgun? Yes.
Badass as hell? YES.

Anything with a silencer on it. I just love the sound it's like a death whisper...wow that was kind of creepy.

 

[Outright Villainy]

DD44 Destovie in GoldenEye.

I was wondering if someone would bring that up. It's useless compared to assault rifles, but damn is it satisfying to fire. The RCP-90 also sounded like a beast.
Then you have the Klobb that sounds like a weak fart, which is pretty fitting. What a useless gun...

Also, the best thing about the game black was how meaty those guns sounded and felt.

Have you seen No Country for Old Men? That silenced shotgun was beastly.
Phumpf!

FAL in MW2, precise death, all without being a gamebreaker like the M16 or FAMAS.

Unless you get a turbo controller, that thing will be unstoppable ... well, unless you get sniped or snuck up on (...is snuck a word, if it isn't, it is now).

I kind of like the sound of mounted machine guns in MW2, might not be realistic but it's a sweet noise.

 

[Ganthrinor]

MG42.

It's a really, really, really angry-sounding gun. I love it. Soooooo much.

High-calibre sniper rifles like the Barrett .50 come in a very close second. Bonus points if you can get them both going one after the other. The growling roar of the MG42 followed by a moment of silence then the head-shattering thunder of a high-calibre armor-piercing round breaking the sound barrier mere feet away to ruin somebody's day downrange.

 

[Ashsaver]

a real Hitler's buzz saw. It's so terrifying when you are actually near it when it fires.

*How the heck did my grandpa manage to get this thing is puzzling.

 

[Cormitt]

As sad as this will sound.... Tiger Woods golf. The sound of hitting a good put into the cup. Not so much an in game weapon as a RL weapon that will soon attack my wallet in a desperate attempt to reproduce that sound on a real golf course.

 

[Darkgoosey666]

Although out of all the games ive played ive found the most awesome weapon sound to be when a Baneblade in Dawn of War fires its main gun, if that counts.

I dunno why I just freakin love it.

i dont care if it doesnt count, but hell yes this. BOOM also the earthshaker cannon is just fuck you obliteration. i love how the imperial guard get the sexy guns, it suits them.

Slightly more OT i would say the intervention sniper rifle from mw2. either that or the desert eagle. nothing beats finding a guy in last stand, switching to my 'deagle and then executing them. its useless other than that though.

 

[Reveras]

Half Life 2 model shotgun. It blows the speaker phones when you shoot it.

 

[ShasoRmyr]

Either the guns in Bad Company2 or Metal Gear Solid 4. Both have lots of great ones.

 

[Totenkopf]

M-M-M-Monster-Ninja
Also, very well said.

OT:

Spoiler

I second this good sir, the most mighty gun sounds in my opinion.

 

[MajorLandmark]

In real life most guns being fired are predominantly just extremely loud to the firer, so I dont think I'd be able to call a gun that I'd find satisfying to hear myself shoot. OR a 1911. Love those things. I'd probably say a bow makes the most satisfying sound to fire. Different types make different sounds, and I like all of them. As far as guns other people are shooting though, I like the sales pitch video of the NTW-20 thats out there somewhere. There is nothing at all un-satisfying about the NTW-20.

Game wise, probably the Spas 12 in L4D2. It's a very uncompromising sound.

 

[trooperpaul]

The Mysterious Stranger's .44 magnum, not for the bullet sound, but the following sound of the enemy exploding.

 

[kajinking]

In game it'd be a M-4A1 Pulse Rifle from the Alien and Predator games.

Love that one too, it has such a distinct sound when it fires. It's almost like someone screaming as you unleash death against the alien hordes.

 

[JonnyZOMG]

Surely it's been mentioned, but in case it hasn't.

The AA-12 shotgun. Sickenly immense.

 

[Canid117]

FAL in MW2, precise death, all without being a gamebreaker like the M16 or FAMAS.

The M-16 and Famas are a joke without stopping power on.

your point? no one uses them without that perk so that is irrelevant.

Which makes it all the more hilarious when people playing hardcore still use that perk and waste a perfectly good red slot.

 

[smearyllama]

Silenced magnum from ODST. The way it collapsed a Grunt's skull was AWESOME.
