The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!
The Farsight in Perfect Dark. Alas, I'll never be as good with it like I was back in high school.

The super shotgun in doom 64.
Stuff that makes enemies explode in 1 hit, like bfg10k or the sniper ray in quake 3. As for more absurd things, armed and dangerous had shark guns, reverse gravity gun and others
Ks-23 from Tarkov (before it was nerfed) was the ultimate weapon for trolling the most serious of Marines. Blind them with flashbang shells before you melee them or just blast their kneecaps off!
AA12 in Killing Floor
a pretty modern and mundane response but at the moment, the RM68 in Battlefield 2042. mostly because of the odd sound it makes and how solid the hit markers for it feel. it's certainly not the best gun in the game (or any game) but it's just nice.
Remote mines from Goldeneye for N64. Never felt more like a spy than when you bait someone into charging at you spraying bullets and you just press a button on your watch
Hypnosis from Withfire. Very satisfying sound with a beautiful reward of extreme damage
This bad boy from Dark Forces:
Concussion Rifle. Sounded like a banshee's scream when fired. Too bad it got neutered in the sequel though.
Hagar from Xonotic.
Torn between the classic Doom super shotgun and Marathon dual shotguns.
Kar98k from MW2019.
Unreal 2 black hole cannon
The cheat weapons from mercenaries. The portable air strike was a great way to kill an entire screen and yourself if you weren't careful. The street sweeper was aptly named.
That Gun
Hellstaff from Heretic, both with and without a Tome of Power
I’m gonna put forward an uncommon weapon. Counter strike’s Zeus. I have 5000+ hours in csgo/cs2 and I have enjoyed the times when me and some friends have Zeused the enemy team more than any other kind of gameplay. You can jump around inferno apps, out of windows, up through windows, in and around boiler, on balcony while boosting a mate. Hide on the boxes on site and jump down to short. Same with nuke.
The remote charge from Red Faction, cant remember the exact name but it was great for embracing my want to dig around and cause chaos.
Rocket launcher from Sauerbraten.
