Forget the gimmick weapons. What's the gun that has been the most useful in the history of gaming, with whatever is in 2nd being nowhere near it? There's only one answer.

The shotgun.

No no digi, the shotgun is the most useful when you've got a full arsenal, but the overall most useful? It always comes down to El Pistolato pal.

My best friend in Doom and Duke Nukem 3D.

Besides that, the P-90 is a close friend.

you have lost my respect. no expression

in answer to the thread itself, the "best gun" in any game shooter is imo the default assault rifle you get. it usually carries high amounts of ammo and is versatile being useful at range and close up.

I dont really know, would require some thought although beam guns are usually fun, those that allow you to fire a long beam of energy and bathe your foes in it. Although the Mavor in Supreme commander is one hellava good gun as would any tower block sized gun that lobs thermo nuclear shells across hundreds of KM's at near rapid fire.

The BFG from Doom comes to mind.

Still, Digi is right; The shotgun reigns supreme.

Shotgun?

Pft.

In the games that have them, Miniguns reigns supreme.

I rest my case.

cool

Everything else is pretty much competing for 2nd place in this thread. A respectable position, mind you. But nothing has had such otherworldly staying power, from Doom to Half-Life 2, and everything in between.

You forgot to mention pitiful range.

In terms of balancing range with incredible damage capability and rate of fire, the Minigun is above all others.

You're overthinking it. If you're carrying a shotty around with a full ammo clip, you feel safe. Even if sh*t is hitting the fan, you can mow things down without taking a ton of damage.

Besides, how many games have a minigun? A fair amount, sure. How many have a shotgun? All of them. Or if they don't, they're wrong. So if I don't know what game I'm getting thrown into, or what situation, I know what I'm taking.

Until you run out of ammo and have to spend a good amount of time reloading shell by shell.

Because only real men can use miniguns, and the games without miniguns are not for real men.

Let me put it this way: The minigun is the preferred weapon of Ahnold.

Truf.

Hey, to each his own. But so far it's a landslide for the shotty. And your points seem fine, until you play enough games with a shotgun. Then you begin to understand, it's like a warm security blanket. A badass, loud mouth, homicidal fuzzy blanket.

Mind you, the shotgun isn't going for style points. Either of those latter two get my vote in terms of giddy awesomness. But if I'm playing Half-Life 2 and given a choice between a gravity gun or a shotgun, I know which one I'm taking. That game is honestly Exhibit A of why a gimmick weapon is no match for a sturdy, reliable one.
