For me the most satisfying guns were in unreal tournament 3. The Flak Cannon felt so satisfying to use especially if you got close enough to one hit someone with it
What was the most satisfying weapon you've used in a game?

As I'm replaying AC Brotherhood, a lot of the weapons there are favorites.
First the honorable mentions:
The series iconic hidden blade. The acrobatics of air assassinations aside, I'll always love the slow walk assassinations, where you stab and sit them down, almost as if saying, shh, shh, it's alright. Then there's the daggers for their fast paced ferocious combats
And tied for first:
The blunted weapons, whether it's swirling uppercuts or shattering kneecaps, the blunt weapons never fail to deliver. Those animations are so awesome. My current favorite must be the spear-like weapons though. While their regular attacks are ok, and the sweep is pretty awesome when you slice a bunch of throats, there's nothing like throwing them javelin style and impaling a guard through the face. Gods, I love that. This also goes for the heavy axe throwing, very, very satisfactory.

akimbo model 1887s in MW2 (pre-patch) disagree with you xD ahh, good times were had with those bad boys, so many butthurt people...WouldYouKindly said:
anyway, i'd also agree with shotguns, i especially liked bioshocks shotgun, because it kinda felt like it took actual effort to cock it, making it seem like a meaty fucker.
but i've gotta give my first place to the stake gun in painkiller, because it impales people to walls and there's not much more satisfying than firing a tree at somebodies face
A glorious weapon indeed.Edl01 said:
My first Dark Souls playthrough was on a build with rather heavy armour, greatshield and Zweihänder. It was surprisingly good at dispatching invaders (I played in human form whenever I could); many of them underestimated just how quick a jump attack is with that thing. Some bosses gave me a real headache though, since their openings were almost too small for an attack.
Fun fact: When I fought the Four Kings, I had a total of six kings spawned... Sometimes, taking your time might not be the best idea
Another weapon I found very satisfying was the Maliwan Hellfire from Borderlands. Burning people... Burning people everywhere °_°
I've always loved MAGIC - just magic in general feels so good to just spam and slaughter people with, just using various levels of horrifyingly brutal magic to send faceless goons to their deaths was basically my job in Skyrim.
But my favorite weapon that I can remember really loving was the Cross from Dantes Inferno, I mean sure it wasn't anything special but it was the first time a cross had been an actually exciting and fun weapon to use, at least for me.
Was also op out the ass.

I'll probably have to go with Dual Penetrating Unkempt Harold from Borderlands 2. Especially when dual wielding it with Gunzerker.
I love me some bow and arrows. Farcry 3's exploding arrows never cease to be hilarious.
Also pretty much any melee weapon in The Last of Us. CCQ combat in that game is brutally intense and I love it.

Holy crap I totally forgot about those. The ridiculousness of a "stealthy" assassin wielding a giant battleaxe never gets old. Throwing it into a poor guard's face only added to the hilarity.Baron Tanks said:
Seconded. They all sound like god slamming his car door. I play support specialist purely because of the ridiculous amounts of noise they make (And the fact that the Vlad the Impaler shotgun can literally kill things around corners)Dead Century said:
Automatic shotguns just plain WORK. All the destructive force of a shotgun with multiple rounds of BANG BANG BANG! Whether it's Metro, GTA V, or Saints Row, tis always been my weapon of choice.OneCatch said:
And I hear there's one to be unlocked in Battlefield 4 as well. Oh my...gonna have fun with that.
Without a doubt the carl gustav from battlefield bad company 2, it was so ridiculously satisfying that I cannot even describe it with words. Some coward sniper is camping in some building? BOOM! Blow up the side of the building and get a double kill.
I used it so much that I could reliably shoot down choppers without the tracer dart.
Oh baby I loved sending some Hot Carl down range

For me, the Scythe of the Celt in Clive Barker's Undying. When you use the Haste spell you just fly around, hacking enemies in two, snipping away arms, legs and heads... And when you use the the lifesteal ability it makes this cool slurping sound.
Another would be the Drill from Bioshock 2, especially when Drill Dashing.
And OH MY GOD - the Jacks from American McGee's Alice!! One of the most fun weapons I've used in a game.
Shrink Gun from Duke Nukem 3D definitely qualifies, as well as the Vox Volley Gun from Bioshock Infinite, I really like the way all these projectiles first hit the enemy, doing little damage and then just start exploding like firecrackers.
Edit: Most weapons from Hotline Miami, but especially the Frying Pan and the Drill with the Grasshopper Mask. Also the Fire Bellows with Army Carbine in Bastion, SPIN TO WIN!
Edit 2: First weapon from Painkiller, it's just so fun mutilating your enemies. Voodoo Doll and Napalm Launcher from One Unit Whole Blood, enemies splitting apart or jumping balls of fire, your choice! And from the Fallout weapons (I mean Fallout 1, only one I played so far) Upgraded/Turbo Plasma Rifle, it just litterally melts your enemies to a puddle on the ground. And it crits every time, or at least it did on my build. Even the Warrior Mutants went down in two shots.
Not reaplying this anytime soon, but still, I didn't even know that was an available option since i put my points mostly in Wisdom, INT and STR. Awesome!

I thought it was about some pre-endgame weapon like that witch's claw, but then I spoiled myself.Vale said:

The lancer in Gears of War. I remember using it for the first time when I first played multiplayer (I was younger) and it felt deadly and terrifying...but awesome at the same time.
Also i'll see the tripple barreled shotgun from Resident Evil 5. Damn that shotgun.

im gunna go with dubstep gun or the penetrator, both are just so satisfying to use/hit people with
Glad to see Unreal Tournament's Flak Cannon getting some love. Damn, that thing was beast.
My favourite combo for bosses in Bayonetta was Onyx Roses in the hands with Lt. Col. Kilgore on the legs. The first time I Pure Platinum'd a boss with that combo (Fortitudo), I knew I'd hit on something epic.
Cluckeye was the best weapon my DH had in Diablo 3 for a long time. No-damage runs on Azmodan and it fires chickens?!
Also have to give a shoutout to one of the most beautiful weapons ever; the ring laser from R-Type.

The prototype CFA-44 jet in AC6, so many missiles.

The railgun and suitcase turret from Perfect Dark. Nothing beat sitting back out of the way, whipping out that turret for cover and rail scoping your friends.
I was an asshole, and to this day my friends still remind about it.

My favorites, in no particular order:
1) I actually managed to disturb my horror-movie-consuming wife, from the awful sounds of men's screams, with an acidic shotgun in Borderlands.
2) Also satisfying, the upgraded shotgun in Resident Evil 2 (that one puts bullet holes in the screen, even!)
3) The neat magnum in OpFor (half life 1 expansion) puts people down nicely.
4) The drill-arm in Bioshock 2 (my kid, when watching me play the game, demanded I never stop using the drill, beat the whole game with it, asamatteroffact).
5) The chainsaw in Doom 3. As soon as I got my hands on that thing, I couldn't be afraid anymore because now I was the scariest thing on mars
