Oddest weapon in a game?

I love the Earthworm Jim games. The best would probably be the smartbomb gun shaped like a barn.Riobux said:
I dunno, Dante's all about class and I've seen people get over 40 hits with the thing.Nikajo said:
For my part, the banana bombs in Worms remind me of the banana gun in Iji.
Failing that, the squeaky hammer in Warrior Within. Or the Captain Claw squeaky toy in Shogo (doesn't do any damage to health or armour but hit them enough with it and they break down crying).
im gonna stick with splattering someone with a traffic cone as the oddest, although changing ogres into rats does sound perculiar. oh and there was that one in ratchet and clank 3 that turned the enemies into ducks. it was actually one of the best weapons in the game as well, which was pretty crazyChoose a Username said:O rly???RobThePrezodent said:oh i just realised the hands-down winner has got to be the traffic cone from halo 3. Discussion closed i think
Can you really get better than a staff that can turn an Ogre to a rat? xD
Did anyone mention the cerebral bore from Turok yet? That was awesome. It locked onto nervous activity (somehow) and fired a small homing drone which tracked the target (sounded proper scary like), latched on to the skull, and then bored into the victims head. Just in case evacuating their skull was insufficient (e.g. vs the zombies), the charge in the drone would detonate when it was done, blasting their headless form to the floor.
Pretty gnarly, really.

Oh, I'm back once again - Worth a mention, when you're in france in Deus Ex, you get to a mansion, inside which there's a secret room accessed via a fireplace and a secret switch. You could crush people (yourself or enemies) if they stood in the right place in the fireplace when you pressed the button. So, I guess a fireplace is a pretty odd one. I wouldn't see it coming, ykno.
It's been done before, though.The Rookie Gamer said:
Look up Millia Rage, from the Guilty Gear series. Bayonetta's uses go way farther than Millia's, of course.
Not counting most of the characters from Clay Fighter, I'm going to go with Tales of Symphonia when you have Zelos in the party and wearing his formal attire. His weapon will change, sometimes, into a bouquet of roses. Persea has a similar thing in her formal wear, her axes will turn into a giant stuffed animal.
I was actually disappointed you couldn't use the inflatible women in GTA4 as a weapon. They had a few sex toys in that game, I imagine it would be pretty funny to impale someone with a "marital aid" in the eyeball. I bet it has actually been done before, I just need to check with Florida first.
