What is the coolest gun you can think of?

[chinkeeyong]

Just curious, in your personal opinion, what is (are?) the most incredibly awesome and epic weapon (s) you could possibly wield in a Marathon game? I'm thinking of making a scenario, but I need some awesome and over-the-top guns.

My laser-sighted shotgun pistol from my work on Enemi would definitely qualify, but the most awesome weapon I can think of right now would be a dual-wieldable automatic rocket launcher with a flamethrower attachment.

The greatest gun I've ever wielded had to have been my old ICER, its ammo being known as icing cake mix batteries. It shot a concentrated beam of drone bolts or shot half its clip (resulting in like a zillion shots) all over the screen. Shongshong even made me a 3d model of it, but I don't think he has it anymore.

Another awesome gun had to be that super jacked fusion cannon seen in one of Rubicon's terminal pictures. I tried putting that in my own scenario a few years ago, and it either shot a whole bunch of charged bolts or... the big one. Shongshong made me a model of that too, and I even showed it to Chris Lund, who responded "Yeah, that was neat ". Infact, I should take a screenshot!

Don't worry though, the guns in my scenario are a lot less... ridiculous nowadays.

EDIT:

I take that back; the old ALIEN WEAPON was definately the best:

As you can see, I'm a little too reckless for the bobs' tastes.

But it's clearly not awesome enough; it's just a pink machine-gun. Booooring. Let's make it fire explosive, armor-piercing fusion bolts at 10x the speed, and maybe then that will count for something.

You can't tell me people don't dream of an automatic shotgun in marathon.
EDIT:The only bad thing is how unbalanced it would be. Shotguns are already somewhat unstoppable in the right hands.

NOTE:skip to about 1 minute in the video to bypass the Bullcrap

Tell me about it.

OMG AWEZOME

[VirtualX1]

I actually have one of those

[chinkeeyong]

Holy crap, that rocks. I'll have to use it for inspiration when designing logan's AUTO SHOTGUN.

a rocket launcher that shoots severed heads on fire, also the heads explode into mini rockets that fly in multipule directions......

That... is a glimpse into heaven.

And I always thought Ryoko was a hard-ass.

[Dodopod]

A fully automatic rocket launcher that fires fuel-air rockets, which are attached to smaller rockets that cluster out from the main warhead that are guided and explode by splattering unignited napalm around close enough to the primary missile that when it goes off EVERYTHING is incinerated.

[Iritscen]

I'm partial to this one (#43).

[logan]

I must admit that is well thought out. lol.
EDIT: Also, the "real" infinity pistol

That link iritscen posted is basically an endless supply of great weapons.

I do have to make a note about practicality, that the Gun That Shoots Ninjas That Throw Napalm and Pigeon Shit and also Cast a Healing Spell Over the Original Gunman and Summon Hot Chicks Playing Kick-Ass Guitar Solos While Showering In a Communal Shower and Are Prone to Acts of Lesbian Sexuality with Each Other might be hard to do in the existing A1 engine. If you have any interest in making this one happen, I suggest filing feature requests with Treellama for implementing napalm, pigeons, and full 3D model support so the hot chicks who are prone to acts of lesbian sexuality can intermingle in a proper 3D manner with each other. Let's face it, sprites just won't do this one justice.

Also, the coolest melee weapon is here, but no one was asking about that.

That's difficult to implement. :'(

lol, the GTSNTTNPSCHSOOGSHCPKAGSWSICSPALSEO 3000.

You can already do the napalm, healing and pigeon shit with Lua, and I don't think Switch would allow hot chicks playing kick-ass guitar solos while showering in a communal shower and are prone to acts of lesbian sexuality with each other in a scenario hosted on his server.
