What was the most satisfying weapon you've used in a game?

Shotguns, especially in games with gore or games with ridiculous physics. I was playing WAR FACE when I decided to go into a game as the Medic (with their default weapon being a shotgun), the first thing that I noticed was that not only are they stupidly powerful, the enemies actually fly off their feet, making pretty much every kill to be satisfying.
Borderlands 2 Corrosive weapons (with PhysX), there is nothing better in that game than shooting someone in the face with a Corrosive weapon and watch them slowly melt into a puddle of green goo on the floor, its probably one of my favourite uses of PhysX so far.
Also, Sniper rifles on Battlefield. With bullet drop like that its just so satisfying to nail someone across the map and watching that Marksman bonus pop up. Points galore.<spoiler=Video><youtube=pZ8ozePe3rE>Please excuse the wacky music

Funnily enough I think it's the standard M16 in BF3.
It's flexible so you can use it for most situations. It's relatively precise, so you can take down targets at range. And it has full-auto in case you need to lay down suppressive fire. Not to mention, that in Battlefield Semi-auto fire is actually an option, so you can save your ammo.

While i use the "All american" gunmost of the time in Fallout: new vegas, which is a very versatile semi automatic rifle with a scope, the "Anti-Materiél Rifle" will have to be mentioned first. Impractical in close combat but shooting enemies in the face from the next town over is fun =)
yep, no doubt that that's the best.james.sponge said:Vector cannon from Zone of Enders, because it can kill battleships and stuff
turning a skyscraper sized mech into a laser turret while the AI co-pilot reads off like 7 different dials....just so cool
also.... pretty much any gun from ratchet and clank, but the rift inducer from 3 even more so
Any of the morph rays from Ratchet and Clank. There's something almost soothing about flipping around during a firefight methodically turning your enemies into ducks.
Weirdly, the secondary fire on the LMG from Red Faction.
Because it feels like this.
Also the Spider gun from Unreal 2, because launching spiders at people is *always* hilarious.

Borderlands 2 Vladof Topneaa. Nothing has destroyed more enemies, demolished more strongholds...
...quite like this bad boy. Add in Grog Nozzle for shotgun rocket blasting hilarity.
EDIT: Have to add in DMC4's Pandora and Lucifer weapons.

Does "Force Push" count as a weapon in the Jedi Knight series?
There's always something hilarious about a casual flick of the wrist sending an opposing Jedi off the side of a 1,000 foot drop.
Failing that, the AWP from Counter Strike - despite being terribly overpowered - does bring with it a grand feeling of satisfaction... that distinct "boom" when you pull the trigger.

I'm surprised no one has said this before, the Sticky Bomb Launcher from Team Fortress 2.
There's nothing more satisfying to me than setting up a precise unseen trap and seeing a pack of enemies to walk near it and just have everyone splatter over the map. In desperate situations you can also spam with it, and the feeling of the weapon in general is very reliable.
Don't even get me started on sticky jumping.

Switch Axe from Monster Hunter. Oh boy are Switch Axes fun.
I suppose I should also mention Lu Bu's Halberd. That thing is nuts, although it is more because Lu Bu is nuts.
