7 Most Violent Weapons in Videogame History

By: Jonathan Plombon - Published: 2009-04-29

7.) Shotgun

Game: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Developer: Rockstar North. Publisher: Rockstar Games. Platforms:. PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, Xbox, Xbox 360, Mac OS X.

The shotgun does everything that a sniper rifle can do, but you don't have to worry about properly aiming. Just sneak up behind a drug dealer or, more accurately, an elderly woman, and simply fire. It achieves a head shot with all the trouble of a chest wound. There's also that nice thud with each shot. It's like popping bubble wrap or driving over someone's poodle.

 

6.) Exploding Sheep

Game: Worms: World Party. Developers: Team17, Two Tribes B.V., Paragon 5, Codeglue. Publishers: Titus Software, THQ Wireless. Platforms: PlayStation, PC, Nintendo 64.

The Exploding Sheep looks silly, but it's actually incredibly vile. It's a cartoon representation of what would actually happen to an exploding sheep. But make no bones about it. That's a sheep blowing up, and the amount of pain that the sheep must be going through, albeit swift, must be immense.

Normally a weapon would only be violent when it hits, because only if the weapon correctly hits its target does any major damage occur. With an Exploding Sheep, even if doesn't hit anything, the explosion itself triggers flying intestines and bone fragments. Imagine a sheep and a Japanese Assault Rifle.

 

5.) Cow Launcher

Game: South Park. Developer: Iguana Entertainment, Appaloosa Interactive Publisher: Acclaim Entertainment. Platforms: PlayStation, PC, Nintendo 64.

Sure, it looks comical, even childish, but the cow launcher launches cow. A cow thrust with that much velocity would not only cause the cow itself to explode on impact, but it would cause whatever it fell on to probably explode from the pressure as well. Granted, none of that actually occurs in South Park, but in theory it's brutal. If bullets were animals, then there wouldn't be a lot that is powerful than a cow. Maybe a hippopotamus. Regardless, either one would leave a trail of intestines and brain matter behind.

 

4.) Chicago Typewriter

Game: Resident Evil 4. Developer: Capcom Production Studio 4. Publisher: Capcom, Ubisoft. Platforms: GameCube, PlayStation 2, Windows, Wii, Mobile phones, Zeebo.

Just aim with the laser pointer. It's so easy. It's like a children's machine gun.  The Chicago Typewriter is mostly used in Resident Evil 4 as a defense against zombies, but this thing shows potential. It's safe to say that almost anything caught in its crossfire would be obliterated without hesitation. That's what makes it just so violent. Most of the other weapons are a pain to properly aim or there's a delay between the pulling of the trigger and the launch of the bullet. This is not so with the Chicago Typewriter. All the satisfaction of genocide with all the ease of a pushing a button. Awesome.

 

3.) Chainsaw

Game: Dead Rising. Developer: Capcom Production Studio 1. Publisher: Capcom. Platforms: Xbox 360.

Chainsaws are everywhere. As soon as developers learned that an offensive attack can be more than jumping on someone's head, they decided to incorporate a chainsaw into a video game. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the Atari 2600 was ahead of its time, giving those with a psychological imbalance and a fascination with mauling an opportunity to live out their favorite scene from Pieces. However, blocks chopping blocks didn't really knock 'em dead, since it looked like Lego Texas Chaiunsaw Massacre. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City made the dream of chasing an overweight man down a street with a chainsaw, but it was difficult to maneuver. You couldn't quite cut up the spine. Then Dead Rising gave players the ability to both cut up a spine and turn without it being ass difficult.  Perfect!

 

2.) Blood Shower

Game: Dead Rising. Developer: Capcom Production Studio 1. Publisher: Capcom. Platforms: Xbox 360.

Insert nozzel and run away. Spraying seems to be the one credential that ensures its inclusion on this list. If blood can somehow be shot out like a sprinkler system, then it's safe to say that it's violent. Not that anyone is disagreeing.

Some may say that an easily accessible, Wal-Mart-purchased handgun could do the same trick but without the mess. However, without the mess, what do you have? Some sort of internal bleeding. And you're not about to go to all that trouble to cause a heart attack.

It's illogical, but hilarious. And it's hard nowadays, what with children dying and all, to make death funny. Good job, Capcom!

 

1.) Cerebral Bore

Game: Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Developer: Iguana Entertainment. Publisher: Acclaim. Platforms: Nintendo 64, Microsoft Windows.

It's proof that good things come to those who wait It may take some effort to precisely place it on an enemy, but when you finally match the Cerebral Bore's cannon with a head, you'll be welcomed to a sight of fountain-like gushing and exploding. A silver streak shoots through the air, eventually drilling through the cranium of some poor monster. It's difficult to tell if blood would actually spew with such power from an alien creature, since alien creatures do no actually exist and experiments on drills to alien heads are harder to achieve than, let's says, rabbit heads, but who cares? Boom. Blood!

After a great deal of jumping and blindly firing arrows, karma kicks him square in the balls by tossing him out of a window which, ironically, probably left him paralyzed. If only he had a wheelchair.

But while Mr. X was lame in the sucky sense Final Fight's Belger, financial backer of the Mad Gear gang, is lame in the FDR sense, at least when he starts the final confrontation. Wheelchair bound, Belger's offense lies in his liberal use of a crossbow. Then you break his wheelchair and it turns out that he wasn't paralyzed, just an insensitive asshole.
