In the first person shooter world of pwn or die weaponry is paramount.  I think we all have some weapons that are special to us. Not only because they look cool or pack a serious punch, but because of those sweet as pwnage moments you can only get with your killing tool of choice.  As an ode to the entire FPS games arsenal, here are our picks for the top 5 first person shooter weapons.  Check ‘em out and tell us what you think.

No.5 – “Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device” (Portal Gun) – Portal

Portal itself was a step in a new direction for PC gaming by encouraging you to use your brain and apply some abstract thinking. This one should appeal to physicists and sci-fi fans and for those of you seeking a break from the gunfight or brutality of a cold-steel melee. The one and only weapon of the game, the portal gun, creates entry and exit portals to help you negotiate traps and navigate through the game. The weapon is simple but the possibilities are huge. Knock out gun turrets by sending a crate through the portal in the floor below it and watching it come crashing down through the exit portal you created on the roof above. Get the extra boost you need to your leap across that huge chasm by jumping through a portal at the bottom of the gap and let gravity provide the acceleration when you exit through a wall above and go hurtling across the gap. Sounds complicated? It’s not. It just takes some getting used to.

No.4 – Chainsaw – Doom

Got a beef with a demon or alien? Want to let that special creature know how much you want to hurt them? Then try this iconic weapon and shove it into their guts. It’s not overly practical when you are getting shot at but when its death you want to give, up close and personal, this is just the ticket. The look of shock and disbelief on your foes face is priceless as they get torn to bits by your roaring chainsaw. This one is sheer fun for you brawlers.

No.3 – Lightsaber – Jedi Knight

This multi-purpose weapon of the gaming world is graceful, versatile and puts a grin on the face of Star Wars gamers everywhere. It is fundamentally a melee weapon but it is never a weapon of last resort – its just too much fun! Not only can it be thrown like a boomerang, let you slice off bits and pieces of your enemies and leave them smouldering on the ground but it can also be used as a torch as you navigate those dimly light Sith temple passageways. If you feel the need to renovate you can cut though a wall, door or grate with this baby and then neatly return it your belt when you’re done. It does have its limitations in range, cannot deflect rockets and isn’t exactly tactically sound when you want to remain hidden, but this is one knife you want to bring to a gun fight.

No.2 – Sniper Rifle – Halo

Now to the controversial topic of camping. It’s not illegal, immoral and nor does it disobey any of the 10 commandments. But it can be frustrating for those of you who pop your head up over that crate to get a quick view of the room you need to dart across, and then you find yourself in third person looking at your electronic self lying limp on the floor. “Where did that come from ?!!!!” is the cry that follows while your online mate chuckles with delight after popping you off at maximum zoom through the back of your skull. The Halo sniper rifle is the perfect camper weapon and has enough zoom for you to see the face of the moon and can knock you off with just one round. The only drawback is that its light on ammunition and your streaming bolts of death can be seen by those still alive, potentially revealing your position. Combine this baby with a semi-automatic back up weapon for close quarters, and a cloaking device, and you have will have the time of your life collecting electronic scalps.

No.1 – BFG-9000 – Doom

When you absolutely, positively have to kill every demon in the room…… accept no substitute. The BFG (Big F$%^ing Gun) is just the right thing for treating the hordes of hell with some real pain! It means those critters are sent packing back into the mouth of hell from whence they came after you utter ‘come get some’ and hurl a large ball of energy into their face and watch them vaporise. The BFG can clear a room instantaneously and that is why we love it. It may be hungry on the ammunition but it makes up for it in sheer power. Samuel L Jackson has one in his living room in case of emergencies…..so should you.
