The Air-Shotgun
Looks much like a normal shotgun, and uses shotgun shaped bullets, however.. it doesn't shoot shotgun bullets.
It justs short, STRONG bursts of air. The small capsules are full of HIGHLY condenst air that comes out so fast, can just DESTROY people.
The air itself doesn't do any damage, but when you shoot an enemy, you basicly send them FLYING at full speed at a wall or somthing, and THAT does the damage. its works great since you can also use it to " Rocket Jump " and " Water Jump " where you can gain some major speed and even do doplhine style jumps out of water. Weapons like grenades and rockets also can be throw'n off course or just moved a long way.. so if some one throws a grenade a you, you can just blow it back at them.
Now the Cons:
Only 4 shots, then you have to reload which takes a extra second, since you have to be carful not to blow your hands off.
You have to CARFUL when your shooting, since mindless shooting at walls can send yourself flying at a wall or over a ledge.
Each shot Fires, then a good 4-5 second wait before the next capsul is in place.
James West's comments: Now that's my kinda shotgun. Sounds like a beefed-up version of that gun the old tekwar TV movies.
Extra Runner Up.

How about a Nokia cellfone? It could zap people with radioation, first attack is kinda weak doing 25 damage. second attack is pressing 19802 which makes the player throw it like a grenade. it then sits on the surface it attaches to and waits for some one to wander in front of it then BOOM.
James West's Comments: Really neat idea, although just making the cell phone explode seems like a waste of technical stuff. Why not make it so that secondary fire throws it, then the phone would attach itself to the wall, then the next person that tries to pass it by, the phone begins to ring! The ringing would force the player to answer it, and the person on the other line, would be the G-Man's cousen, Tax-Man! Tax-Man would chat away to the player, blabbing away about useless solicitations and tax refund offers!

My dream gun;
Ultrimilator 5000
length: 38 inches
Width: 13 inches
Weight 125lbs
Magazine Capacity: 60 Magnum's Each
Magazine Magazine capacity: 6 rounds
The Ultrimilator 5000 is the uber weapon of tommorow.
Complete with sholder strap, Juke Box, and microwave
oven, this bad boy shoots up to twenty magnum's a
second. Now, one may say, "what is the point of
shooting high velocity handguns out of a gun?", and
the answer is simple; Attach homing rockets onto each
pistol, and let them do your handywork for you! Have
marines taken over your workstation? Then look no
farther! Whip out the can of Whoop-Ass and let a few
magnums fly! Your magnums will fly with supersonic
speed, find it's target, then pummel the poor sap full
of lead! Just think, the next time a transdimentional
breach is created from last months lunch, shoot a few
homing magnums into it, and before you know it, You'll
be confronted by captain G-Man himself!
James West's Comments: Well, that's definitly an idea that was created with some imagination! A very unique weapon, especialy with the microwave oven, the player could easyly cook pizzas and stuff to recharge his health!

Its a harness, like that u have seen in alot of movies and such, goeso n the back. Inside the harness is a ammo drum. Now the harness has 2 arms that come out, so it looks kinda like the power loader from aliens, the persons arms sit on the arms in the holder. It doesn't have a joystick, but it goes over your arms, so u know how u type on your jkeyboard, just imagine your hands inside something, and your hands flat. This allows for easy movement, and touching of weapon controles. Underneath each arm is a small gattling gun, which is fed by a ammo belt coming from the drum in the back. Basically your like HW in tfc, but u have 2 guns, that can move in diffrent direction at the same time. The ammo can be basic or armor piercing, and the range is that of a anti aricraft gun, with lots of spread. Your very slow when wearing it, but u are highly effective. I realize its alot like the hw guy, but it would be pretty cool no?
James West's Comments: Cool indeed! Having a battle suit like that, would make a HW Guy run!
And now, the moment you've been waiting for, the number one winner!

Think of the flying blades from the movie.
What about...
a rifle like weapon with 2 modes of fire. the secondary fire, shoots a
small
harpoon out that would stick in another player. This harpoon has a
very
high powered magnet built in. The weapon would only have a limited
amount of
these (say 5). The primary fire shoots (after a small spinup and
magnetizing
delay) shoots a spinngin blade out (6 inches wide maybe?). The blade
then of
course, becomes attracted to the harpoon and shoots off after the
victem. If
they duck around a corner, bounce off the wall trying to get him, but
then
correct its course and vear down the hall again after him.
The blades would lose velocity after a while of straight flying, or
become
demagnetized after like 5 - 10 hits off an object. (these arent very
big or
fired from a cannon or anything so they arent that powerful)
Also you could fire them consectively at a time (like a 1 sec spin up
delay
after the weapon was charged originally). so u could fire them into a
room
even without firing the harpoon, and they would bounce off the walls
untill
hiting someone or losing velocity like normal.
The blades could be stored in a spring loaded see through drum on the
top or
the bottom of the weapon, letting the user see how many he has left.
The
weapon would only hold around 10 blades b4 a new drum would have to be
put
on. It could be mounted in front of the grip, or behind like a bullpup
design
ex.
And if someone shot you with a harpoon after u fired a blade and that
harpoon was the closest magnet, the blades could come spinning back at
you
after hitting something and changing direction.
James West's Comments: Wow. Now that's a cool weapon! Not to mention deadly. One addition I would add is, pressing both primary, and secondary fire at the same time, would launch a neck collar. Firing a neck collar would require good aim, as it would only be effective with a headshot, and it would take more ammo then a standard harpoon shot, however the tradeoff would be that neck collars would be 99.99% instant kills as the collar would attract the blades at a much higher velocity, and the collar would (obviously) attract the blade to it's victem's head, resulting in a devestating headshot.
Well, that's all for now. I applaud everybody for their awesome weapon ideas! -James West
