katar - also known as a punching dagger
I really love this weapon and the technique for it, I'm rather sad it never sees more usage in games or media. There are more blades out there than swords and daggers, try spicing things up a little.
i second this, the last game i can remember using katars is Diablo 2...
unless you count the Beam "Sword" from Halo 3 as a katar, and why not seeing as it IS a katar and not a sword.
The concealed blade in Assassin's Creed is a katar (sort of).
Someone else mentioned a shotgun that shoots sharp objects. Such a thing has already been done IRL- it's called a flechette shotgun.
Frying pans, golf clubs, baseball bats, and other domestic and improvised cudgels are always entertaining, especially when they have wacky impact sound effects.
Packs of dogs, like in CoD: WaW multiplayer. I love calling in Sparky, Spot, and co and watching them go to work.
How about a naginata? It's a Japanese weapon that has a blade mounted on a pole 6 to 8 feet long. In Japan, it's considered a woman's weapon, but who cares? It would be a combination of quarterstaff and sword-fighting techniques, which is BEASTLY.
Oh, yeah: the pipe bombs in Left 4 Dead are endlessly amusing. Every zombie game should have a piece of equipment that's basically a squeaky chew toy for the undead.
