The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!
The Kuva Bramma in Warframe. Just rains cluster bombs.

The Sigil of the One God from Strife. Like, the fully completed gun.
And also the Nuke from Shadow Warrior.
Mechanically, I love the uh... The rifle from UT that had the orb for the alt fire you could shoot with the primary fire for an explosion (I forgot the name). I liked it for rewarding the combo play; even now you don't see many guns like this.
ASMD!
Probably an unpopular opinion, but the Magnum in L4D2. For whatever reason, it's the most satisfying gun I've used in any game - the weight, action, recoil and sound all come together in a perfect package.

Hellstaff from Heretic, both with and without a Tome of Power
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
AA12 in Killing Floor
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.
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
The SH1900 from The Finals is one of the most satisfying guns I've used in a game before. Kicks like a horse but chunks away enemy health bars. High risk, high reward, high octane. And the audio just thumps you right in the chest with every shot, almost as much as the folks on the business end of the barrel.
Hagar from Xonotic.
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!
The super shotgun in doom 64.
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.
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 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.
Unreal 2 black hole cannon
Hypnosis from Withfire. Very satisfying sound with a beautiful reward of extreme damage
Torn between the classic Doom super shotgun and Marathon dual shotguns.
Rocket launcher from Sauerbraten.
That Gun
