The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!
The kritzkreig from tf2. It does no damage, it actually does negative damage. But when you hit that switch, oooooo

I used to roll with the G3 in Battlefield 2.
Also the DMR from Halo Reach is a favourite.
There's been a lot of fun ones. The battle for second place is bloody and impossible to call, but the number one spot belongs only to the BFG.
M1 Garand in the old Call of Duty games.
Love me a quick single shot rifle and the iconic ping sound when it reloads is just chef's kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lezq2l-Z_wc

SR8 in Urban Terror... used to have so much fun sniping people in that game
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2
Undeniable classic. Not much more satisfying than hucking a file cabinet at a group of people who don't see you yet.
Also, the trip mines were fun to use in smaller games (just like the Duke3d ones).

Unreal had a gun that shot saw blades that bounced off of surfaces. That was fun.
The Goo Gun in Fortnite was also great it sprayed a sticky goo that exploded after a few seconds
I played CoD4 a lot. As well as Halo 1. In both games I always liked the sniper.
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!
10mm HV Penetrator from F.E.A.R

thunk thunk thunk thunk
Man I bought F.E.A.R. recently for like a dollar on GOG and I really want to play it, but I don't want SecuROM malware all over my system.
Seems like SecuROM won't install from playing singleplayer:

Download a cracked version. You’ve already bought a license.
The graphics dated fairly quickly but I believe the ai, combat and atmosphere should still be excellent.
The one that's the most fun and made me feel the most powerful is the VSS from STALKER. Learning the bullet drop and managing to head shot a moving target is very satisfying.
Quake 1 HWGuy gatling. Tap, tap, tap to keep it spinning ... enemy appears at the bottom of the elevator shaft ... BZZZZZT.
The flak cannon from Unreal. It's just a more fun and innovative type of shotgun with grenade launcher.
The Kuva Bramma in Warframe. Just rains cluster bombs.
I never played a lot of FPS, but I loved the Quake rocket launcher. It was fun to jump around with in multiplayer. But what I enjoyed most of all was the satisfaction of guessing when someone rounded the corner and having a rocket land at the exact same time.
Rocket launcher from Sauerbraten.
I'm kinda torn between Unreal Tournament's (ut99) sniper rifle, flak cannon and the instagib variant of the shock rifle.
The flak canon was a ton of fun, but I have a special fondness for the slime gun. Primary fire leaving a bunch of slime balls around was hilarious, as was running around with the secondary charged up, just hoping to run face first into someone and fire it at point-blank range, killing you both. Strategic or tactically sound? No. But hilarious.
Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so it does hold a special place in my heart.

The Cerebral Bore from Turok 3, Shadows of Oblivion.
Honestly the whole weapon set was super unique and fun for deathmatch. Too bad the recent remake excluded multiplayer entirely... I'm still very sour about it.
Came here looking for this
That's a deep cut and I'm so glad you said it

The Boltgun from Boltgun.
It sounds right, it feels right, it purges right. There is something poetic about pulling the trigger and knowing whatever you direct your fully automatic rocket propelled grenade launcher at will explode in a cloud of gore.

The Heavy's mini gun is so satisfying to use. Just pick a direction and spray.

Long barrel ksg. Many good memories trolling on Hijacked.
