Don't feel you need to limit yourself to first or third person shooters, cause if anything, having a favourite from a non-shooter game sounds way more interesting anyway.
Nice list. I modded silencers onto all the guns in L4D I didn't like and suddenly I started to like them. How did I forget about Postal 2 as well?
You call that eyesore of an abomination a "shotgun"?
Just never under any circumstances question why they need to wear those masks soldier! 
Awesome list. Really vibin with the rapid fire corrosive pistol (it reminds me of Monster Hunter dual blades - they stack effects really well because they hit lots of times rapidly), and that ugly af splatoon lookin shotgun is rad. I've never played much Metro but I think I'm going to after seeing that thingI don't play attention to gun design all that much, even in FPS games, so I won't be able to fill all the slots. The ones that have stuck out the most to me are:
Pistol - The Dove: Borderlands (2009)

In the first Borderlands game, there's a special repeater pistol called 'The Dove' that's a reference to John Woo movies: it never consumes ammo and thus never needs to be reloaded. Depending on what it spawns with, this gun can be either average or amazing. I lucked out and got a Dove with the corrosive attribute on my Siren. This thing has incredible synergy with Lilith's phase walk and because of that, it became my primary weapon for the rest of that playthrough.
Shotgun - Bigun: Metro 2033 (2010)

Metro 2033's Bigun is by far the dumbest shotgun I've ever seen in a game and for that, I love it. The design is the fan-made, winning participant of a Gameplanet contest. The designer wanted to evoke the scavenger lifestyle required by the game's harsh universe, so he came up with a revolving shotgun made entirely of bicycle parts. Best feature? The bike bell works.
It's not even the best shotgun in the game but I'd be lying if I said I don't have tons of fun using this thing!
Sniper Rifle - Gauss rifle: Fallout New Vegas (2010)

The gauss rifle is one of many energy weapons in FO:NV and like the other energy guns, I love this thing. Extremely powerful with a look that's a mix between realistic and sci-fi. I know Bethesda gets a lot of shit for its gun designs but I've never been a stickler for "proper" guns. The sillier it is, the more likely I am to notice the weapon.
My only complaint about this gun is that the crank that's located on the right side of the rifle doesn't see any use. I imagine it functions like a bolt-action rifle where you have to manually cycle the bullet (or in this case, the energy cell) into the chamber. I wish that was reflected in the reload animation.
Non-standard - I feel like all of my choices fall under "non-standard"
Melee - The Penetrator: Saint's Row the Third (2011)

I don't think this one requires an explanation.
Wildcard - Katamari: Katamari Damacy (2004)
View attachment 122332
It's my dream to one day make katamari mods for every third-person shooter I come across.
This is extremely fucking sick. Have you ever considered giving it metallic paint? The sort of battle damage and weathering that 40K guys do? Idk if that's your sorta thing but I think it would look really niceWell I did 3D Print a 1:1 life size replica of the StA 52 from KillzoneView attachment 122379
The Helghast did nothing wrong,
They were massacred & survivors displaced from their homeworld (Vekta) onto a death world.
If the ISA had never ethnically replaced the Helghast there would be no Helghan wars.
Greatest bait and twist in gaming was to have you play as the villains for 4 games.
Hiding this tiny piece of lore in the Tie in novel is shockingly poignant commentary on factual suppression through restricting access to information.
Shoot the scary gasmask men!
(Sorry I'm legally obliged to drop the Killzone rant whenever the subject tangentially arises)
Metro does some really cool things with weapons that I rarely see outside of the series. There's this weapon type called "pneumatic" (basically, air guns) that doesn't use gunpowder to fire off rounds: it's pure air pressure.
Can we all just take a moment to admire the phrasing, here
That's the rifle in pure PLA Plastic, I fully intend to paint it gunmetal and try my best to add weathering.
