Worst. Weapon. Ever.

[Fertro]

Varmint Rifle in Fallout: New Vegas.

It felt as if I was playing Morrowind, missing all the time.

It's alright when you get used to it, and if you use it at a distance. Close range, however... Ugh, you'd be better off spitting the bullets at your enemies like seeds. The Ratslayer was much better, though. I used it for ages. Once I had moved on to a silenced Sniper Rifle, I retired the old bugger on a dresser in my Lucky38 suite, until it fell behind somehow and glitched so I couldn't move it ):

the Chinese pistol from FO3/NV it use the 10mm round but does less damage then the 10mm pistol.
it,s use is the fact it sells for a high price.

The Chinese Pistol is not featured as a usable weapon in New Vegas (it does appear on display in Mick and Ralph's though).

I'd say the Gunblade... mainly because I have no idea how that thing would realistically work...

 

[Carbonic Penguin]

The cane from Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde ... it literally does nothing!!!

It can kill bees, actually.
And I agree with the Klobb, of course!
And anything with low accuracy but high power too... Most recently for me, the Casey Bat! With its 25% hit chance, you're better off smacking them twice with a weaker bat!

Probably going to have to go with the assault rifle in Halo 3. Completely nerfed in both damage and clip size.

Stab them with the pointy bit, shoot them with the bangy bit.

The Boxing Gloves in Fallout: New Vegas. My hands were literally stronger

 

[Robert Ewing]

The cane from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Does 0 damage. And pulls you into a false sense of security.

 

[ExiledPaladin13]

Empty Bottle in Radiata stories, i tried using this weapon for 1 fight by myself, and it took me 10 minutes to finish off a generic soldier. An awesome game though, brings back memories =D

The Chinese Pistol is not featured as a usable weapon in New Vegas.

Well the mod known as Project Nevada adds it and the other Fallout 3 weapons, if I remember correctly. It's still as useless as ever.

The cane from Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde ... it literally does nothing!!!

No no! It can kill bees!

......although that still makes it just about the most pathetic weapon in existence...

Incidentally, that may have been the best Angry video game nerd video EVER. XD

 

[Idsertian]

Nessie's Nine Iron in TF2. I mean seriously Valve, why? Why would you subject yourself to no random crits and -25 max health with no benefits? Or the Atomizer, yeah ok fancy ass triple jump, but that extra jump costs 10 health and you have a 30% slower firing speed and 20% less damage vs players.

Eh?

 

[Jamash]

The Wooden Stick from Mount & Blade Warband.

It does a pitiful amount of damage, it has no thrusting attack and it's very short, which means it's almost useless as a cavalry weapon and on foot you have to get very close to your opponent in order to barely damage them.

Even if you have the best armour in the game, wielding a Wooden Stick against an army of heavily armoured cavalry is a death sentence.

To make matters worse, it doesn't even show on your character when you equip it, meaning it doesn't even have any aesthetic value.

It's such a bad weapon that not even most ill-equipped NPCs in the game will use it, which I suppose makes it quite rare, but that doesn't make up for it's uselessness.

The Beam Rifle from Star Wars Battlefront II

This weapon is supposed to be a reward upgrade for the Sniper class, but the scope has a lower magnification, it takes twice as many shots to drop a target, and headshots do not 1-hit-kill, I mean what is the point in a sniper rifle that can't kill with a headshot? However, the single most incompetent feature is the fact that, being a BEAM Rifle, every shot you fire leaves a great glowing trace from your target back to your sniper nest, which persists for about three seconds after the shot is fired, and instantly attracting a hail of enemy fire to your position. Quite possibly, the most useless sniper rifle seen in a theatre of warfare.

 

[Okysho]

I'd say the Gunblade... mainly because I have no idea how that thing would realistically work...

A revolver with a really big bayonet. No mystery there. Although truth be told the design isn't completely realistic it's not hard to picture a beretta, glock or even a colt (since they're supposedly revolvers) with bayonets.

Rifles use them all the time, it's just a knife.

 

[Tsaba]

The one hit knife kill that is prominent in shooters, I agree with the 1 hit kill melee from behind, but, from the front? seriously, wtf... worst weapon idea ever.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

The M5A2 Carbine in Resistance: Fall of Man.

Emptying a full clip into STANDARD infantry Chimera stops just short of killing them on normal difficulty. In hard mode, you may as well be throwing the bullets at them by hand.

 

[CorvusFerreum]

The dagger in Gothic 2. It does less damage than a wooden stick, is shorter than it and for some reason you find it after you find the stick. Well, gives some money at least.

 

[Blimey]

Any weapon from GTA 4. The shotgun has the range or an average sneeze, and with the pistol I feel like I can empty a clip into someone, only to have them stagger up and limp away. Sheesh. I end up just running them down in my car.
