Now who in this forum played Contra with a friend had called Spread Gun? Unless you were playing Contra 3, you either called Spread Gun or Homing Missiles.

Aside from the Konami Code, the next thing you think about regarding Contra is the Spread Gun, which is one of Contra's more powerful weapons, and it stands proudly amongst other classic weapons like Samus's Screw Attack and Ryu Hayabusa's Jump-and-Slash.

This weapon is easily the best weapon in the game, so get it as soon as you can and don't replace it. It fires several bullets at such a wide arc that it can pretty much hit any enemy on the screen without much effort on your part. At close range, you'll hit an enemy with every bullet fired, causing massive amounts of damage per shot. Each bullet is as powerful as a machine gun bullet, and if all bullets hit one enemy, it causes almost as much damage as a laser beam.

The Spread Gun is badass indeed. Even Red Falcon trembles before its might.

I think Operation C had the best version...HOMING SPREAD!!! But I gotta admit, A fully charged Homing Missile, machine gun or laser is a better choice in Contra 4 and I never end up using it in that game.
