The Gun Blade, I agree that that is useless, you cant even weild it as an bludgeoning instrument properly.

No, the .32 cal pistol is worse. Much worse. Maxes out at 4 DMG not the 5 DMG that the Chinese pistol has.

But that's not the worst, the worst is the Plasma Pistol from Halo. That thing is "shite on a crusty role" to quote Yahtzee out of context.
bullshit on the .32, the BB gun was worse.
guys do I have to remind you this is the "impractical weapon" thread not the "horrible weapon" thread

OT I'd say the shiskebab in fallout 3 sure it does good damage but in RL you'd probably burn yourself trying to use it

Hate to be a fanboy but, yes he can. He can deflect bullets with his sword, move faster than you can blink and has mastered most magic spells in the game. You'd be dead before you got the gun pointed at him.

/fanboy mode off.
That's why you open up while he's in his mandatory monologue. Wide open target, standing still, jawjackin'. The sheer fact that you didn't wait for him to stop talking will stunlock him.
but...but....I need my own badass rebuttal to power up!!

I was gonna say the fire extinguisher from Timesplitters 2, but this was absolutely worthless. It literally did nothing. At least the extinguisher put out fires.

Followed closely by the Brick from TS2 as well.

Then I shall bring forth the panzercycle from Mercs 2. There is no way that thing should be able to move any direction except for forwards and backwards. Plus the miniguns on it couldn't be able to shoot anything bigger than 9mm.

A portable nuclear bomb launcher that fires 8 nukes in Fallout 3. A single nuke kills everything(including yourself if you don't aim beforehand) but instead it fires 8. Aside from looking cool it has no practical use besides burning through a very limited supply of super-ammo.
the experimental MIRV when you need to kill someone, and everyone around him, and then some!

Pretty much any weapon in Monster Hunter that is not a Sword and Shield.
What?? i disagree massively here. all the weapons in monster hunter are amazing except for hunting horns, which are shit.
Don't misunderstand me. I thought we were talking impractical as in "How the crap is that person actually holding that thing." I do love me some Hammers, but I'll be damned if I could ever imagine any real person swinging a Monster Hunter hammer around like that.
ahh whoopsie daisy i didnt get that XD yeah i think you would have to be insanely strong to lift just the long swords let alone hammers or great swords, and even more impossible to actually swing them.

For when you absolutely positively need to kill every single person in the entire area (including you).

The infamous "Gunblade" from FFVIII. Whats the fuckin point of putting a knife into a gunbarrel and then use it as a sword? It doesnt even look cool nor is it practical. Its just stupid asian shit as always. Why not just use a GUN and a BLADE. More multipurpose and actually practical. ;)

Wabbajack from Oblivion, the moment I got it I gave that thing away so freaking quick it wasn't even funny.
Oh right there was also that one Fork from Oblivion you gained it from the Shivering Isles DLC, I beat the quest and the guy was killed I found his body and a glitch happened, I was able to regain the Fork yet I couldn't get rid of it, it barely did any damage at all.

It sort of resembles Han Solo's blaster, so... Maybe once or twice. For teh lulz.

The Finger from Worms.

*Poke* 1 damage!
Are you kidding?! That's one of the most useful and non-expensive ways to kill some one a little too close to say a mine, or a pitfall or the edge of the map. Its awesome to feel that with a single poke you can KILL an enemy through the law of action and reaction.

I'd have to say the most useless weapon in a game would have to be the Knife in any Resident Evil game (except maybe 5?)

Well its not all that different from putting a bayonet on a rifle, except the bayonet runs the length of the gun-barrel and you can chop off some-ones limbs with the entire weapon. The only problems are that in real combat it would be very heavy to wield and most of the time they'd just shoot you and you die xD us real people don't have HP bars, Phoenix Downs and/or Potions, but at least in Fantasy worlds we can have fun.

My vote goes to the Fish Sword from Castle Crashers. Wow that thing was useless. But some things are just worth the comic relief.

Not anymore, the thing is awesome now.

I think the quote messed up, I was saying I hated how over powered it is iirc, damn charge and melee combo.
No, I mean you can actually effectvly use it as a weapon just by shooting it now!

It's amazing...
