I haven't played that many different FPS games to begin with... or alternatively said, my exposure is very limited to the Half-Life / CS / Valve universe. In any case, here goes a pretty short list:

Half-Life (multiplayer): tau, shotgun, and snarks 🤣
- nothing like flying around a map and randomly dropping snarks on their heads... or landing right in front of them from a flight and blasting them away with the shotgun.

Half-Life 2 Deathmatch:
- GRAVITY GUN!!! I mean, who doesn't think it's a good to throw an old toilet at an enemy? 🤣 Also, the sound from the cast iron radiators and empty gas bottles are pretty cool too.
- crossbow. no scope, run sideways, and pitch an arrow as you strafe. Then watch enemy get nailed to the wall behind. So much satisfaction. 😁
- Also at not-so-distant 3rd: tripmines on indoor maps / tight quarter spaces. It's a nearly guaranteed kill. Even pro's may have a hard time avoiding them. The worst is when you place it so well and so many that you forget where and trip on your own. 🤣

CS 1.5/1.6:
- 228 compact pistol.... because I'm terrible with the Deagle... and the other pistols are kinda weak.
- MP5 - such a nicely balanced SMG.

Yessir!
That and the Mac10 are two of my favorite, no kidding. For some reason, I find their wide spray pattern more predictable than the AK or M4's and so I'm better with them.
I know they are viewed as meme weapons... and that's even more the reason to use them. Nothing like eliminating a try-hard with a meme weapon like that. P90 too.
When I feel in a more serious mood, I'll usually go with the Krieg (when available.)

Right? 🤣
Pew pew pew pew pew..... pew pew.... dead.

BTW, I kinda wish the thread tittle was "favorite 1st & 3rd person shooter games weapons".
Though if that was so, I'd probably have a pretty long list with all of the Fortnite meme weapons. Now that was such a fun game back in the early seasons (especially chapter 1 and 2.)

Quake 4 machine rifle sound and power.
Original DooM plasma gun sound and power.
Best sounding thing is a Wolfenstein 3D chain gun.
Overall the best sounding and looking guns were in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
The most interesting gun is Half Life 2 gravity gun.

For me it's.... pew pew headshot and they drop like a sack of potatoes. The sound is so crisp I immediately fell in love with it.
