Hey folks. I've been trying to think of interesting ideas of more, impossible/improbable weaponry. Mostly got the idea of Bulletstorm. If you don't know what that is, it's an incredibly fun FPS that didn't get the attention it deserves (in my opinion at least). Anyways the weaponry there were extremely inconceivable, the idea behind them was truly interesting and their functionality was fun as all hell to use. Here is a video showcasing them: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz_jzs-VZdU[/url] . And here is some gameplay of some of em (I lol'd when the guy said that this is an educational video) [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V13BPvnfuk4[/url] . Sorry in advance if the videos don't showcase exactly what you'd expect, but I couldn't find a video that shows exactly everything. Anyways I was wondering if you guys out there have any ideas for similar weaponry. Thinking of making a similar survival gamemode for gmod. If you guys have something interesting in mind, share your ideas!
Also, I'd like to apologize if I'm doing this in the wrong section of the forums.
List of ideas:
[B]ARC WELDER[/B] - Heavy Arc Weaponry (Suggested by Krinkels):
Normal Fire: The weapon would fire a standard arc, that can spread between multiple enemies.
Charged Shot: First shoot at an enemy, second shoot at a target location, making both of them move quickly towards each other in a high velocity.
[B]METAL STORM[/B] - 4 Barreled Shotgun (Suggested by kirby2112):
Normal Fire: Fires metal shrapnel in the form of a shotgun. Quite penetrating.
Charged Shot: Smelts together metal fragments to form mini explosives. Fires them off like a small nade launcher.
[B]THE CORRODER[/B] - Revolver (Suggested by Minelayer):
Normal Fire: Fires bullets which are dipped in acid for maximum penetration.
Charged Shot: Spews out an acidic blast melting anything in its way.
A rocket launcher that shoots rocket launchers that each shoot more rocket launchers that each shoot a rocket in a random direction. Devastating in close quarters combat.

Quite inventive, but I was hoping if you could go for something a bit more scifi. I know bulletstorm too has a shotgun, but that one was more unique due to having 4 barrels and a charged shot which engulfs anything in front of it in flames.
Oh, and nice Pixel art! I' really thankful that you actually took the time to even do an iconic representation
RPC, AKA Rocket Propelled Chainsaw.
Sorta like that drill launcher, except too cool to use by mere mortals.

Fun police there, but in fact the Axe-head is so heavy it would be painful to aim that.
But who the fuck aims a shotgun anyway.
Alright well, I've been doing some thinking of my own. I was thinking of again a 4 barreled shotgun, but the top parts of each barrel is sliced out. It would act as a normal 4 barreled shotgun, but the charged shot would make the side barrels align themselves on top the middle ones forming a large barrel, firing a spiked ball, and upon its collision it fires about 250 pellets at random angles. Whatcha guys think of that?
I think

Can we have less propelled ideas?

causes the target to immediately pursue the creation or invention of an object that one would deem a 'bad idea' thus leaving them vulnerable to a ranged or close-quarters attack

What could possibly go wrong?
*Puts on ideas guy hat* most of these probably aren't feasible to implement but eh.
Loose Flail - The spiked ball has hinges which attach it to the chain. They release when a button is pressed, allowing it to be used as a ranged weapon.
Shift - Point at an arbitrary piece of ground. Seconds later, a small patch of land centred at that point is raised one foot higher than its previous elevation. Anything resting on the boundary is sliced completely.
Umbrella - Another trap. Some time after it is deployed, a corrosive solution will start pouring from the ceiling it was placed on.
Railgun - temporarily places a railway track along the direction it was pointed, destroying anything the way. Charge for extra distance and a train.
Arc Welder - point at two targets and click again. They are placed in the exact same spot and die.
Remote taser - spray can which paints a surface with metallic paint. There's actual metal flakes in it though. Then it's electrified for the next few minutes.
Roulette Launcher - Grenade launcher with 38 barrels. It rotates a random distance before firing one of three rounds. Almost half do damage, almost half heal, and two are chainsaws.

From all of those ideas, the Arc Welder seems the most appropriate to add. Traps shouldn't be involved. What I'm going for here is fast mindless killing and, you know, not setting up traps for something clever. The Roulette launcher is uhm... yeah I don't even know how to fit that in, lol. And the Railgun is too cartoonish in its action to fit in.
Again though the Arc Welder, I like the idea of that. I think the normal function would be to just fire normal arcs, and the charge would be so that you first shoot someone and then the second spot to where to nail the 2 things together (either world or someone else). Imma add that to OP cause I like the idea.
arm-pumped organic solid state goop-canon
A launcher of some kind that fires a projectile, that shoots a burst of bullets where you aim when you let go of the mouse button. Essentially, a delayed, controllable rifle-gun (??).
1. Press and hold mouse1, aiming into the air or around a corner.
2. Aim anywhere near your target.
3. Let go to fire a ridiculously inaccurate hail of bullets.
Good for getting people behind cover, essentially.
I actually had something of mind where you shoot a projectile which later files bullets in all directions. I even mentioned it a few posts up. Not sure on what kind of gun to mount it on though. Something that isn't an AR hopefully.
Mk. III "Metal Storm" Shrapnel Launcher
A automatic weapon loaded with cylinders made from a light metallic alloy. When the trigger is pulled, it rotates the cylinder while simultaneously pushing it against circularly aligned diamond blades, cutting it into small fragments that are hurled through the air, causing great damage to everything it hits.
Can we get a knifegun here?
Shape of an AR which shoots knives instead of bullets.
A shotgun glove.
Punch someone with the glove and the shotgun shoots.
