10) M1 Garand – Medal Of Honor Series
Despite being one of the more po-faced weapons on this list, the M1 Garand deserves to be remembered in the annals of gaming history.
It’s a period-perfect recreation of the real 1940s firearm, completely with weighty recoil and a concussive rattle as rounds explode from its muzzle. It’s also satisfying to use in battle, and one of the standout weapons in the Medal of Honor franchise.
9) Land Shark Gun – Armed and Dangerous
One day, someone went to work on Armed and Dangerous and loudly announced: “hey, wouldn’t it be fun to shoot a shark! No, not at a shark. Shoot a shark from a gun!”
The assembled crowd shook off their look of horror and began nodding their heads.
“Yes, yes,” they said. “That makes total sense.”
“A gun that fires a shark,” one said.
“And then the shark eats the enemy,” said another.
The designers got together to plot this breakthrough in weapon design. Could a shark live inside a gun? How would it stay alive? How would it be projected? And how would it stay alive on ground?
Screw it, they thought – the idea was too good to pass up and the rest was history.
How right they were.
