The satisfying weapon you've used in a game recently

[Squilookle]

Anything in Goldeneye except for the Taser and Klobb

Anything two-handed in Chivalry,

And absolutely anything whatsoever in Mount and Blade.

Oh, and the Redeemer. Any of them.

Personal fan of the Stake Gun on Painkiller.

Well, the last game I played was Pokemon Stadium 2, so my choice is Steelix... if that counts.

Seeing a giant metal snake in full 3D go up against comparatively small opponents makes you feel invincible. It doesn't matter if your opponent is using a incredible Water-type that could one-shot you, or if your Steelix is a crappy rental whose best move is Tackle; you feel like a badass.

The Stellar Converter from Master of Orion II.

Because, if there is a planet left when you fire a weapon, you _could_ use more power.

It was some time ago but I played this team based FPS/strategy game called Savage. There was this siege unit for the beastmen called the Behemoth - a giant grey ogre like creature that was at least 6 stories tall. This thing carried around a massive uprooted tree that it used as a weapon. The creature was designed to be used by a player as a method of destroying buildings, your attack was inaccurate and slow, very difficult to hit a player as they dance between your legs... but when you did.

The poor sap would go flying across the map, it made the giants from Skyrim look like amateur hour. Shame the game had a terrible net code, even playing on a LAN was horrid.

While playing New Vegas, I found that nothing was more satisfying than sneaking up behind someone, punching them in the back, and watching all of their limbs fall off. That and the amazing laser gun and satellite from Old World Blues

Alloy Cannon from XCOM, I just love the sound it makes and I get so happy runnin and gunnin criticals, close second would be Plasma Sniper Rifle combined with Archangel Armour

I suppose not a weapon technically, but any sorcerer spell in Dragon's Dogma. The pure feeling of power those things give is just awesome.
