Line 436:
* ''[[Jagged Alliance]] 2'' has its share of anti-materiel rifles, usually from [[Real Life]]. ''[[Game Mod|v1.13]]'' adds in even more; special mention goes to the VSSK Vychlop, a ''silenced'' .50-cal anti-materiel rifle.
* ''[[X-COM]] UFO Defense'' has the Blaster Launcher as this. This gun will let you set up to 9 waypoints before you press a button that says "Launch Missile". The missile will follow an accurate path defined by the waypoints and at the final waypoint will unleash a massive explosion that has a diameter of 20 squares! If there is a group of people close together, they will more than likely be killed in the explosion ([[Captain Obvious]]). Oh, and the Aliens can use it just like you eventually can, and this gun must be treated with ''extreme'' caution!
* ''Vandal Hearts'' has four characters who can upgrade into the Sniper class. The character art for them as Snipers portrays them as having Big [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Frakking]] Bows, including [https://web.archive.org/web/20111221215204/http://lparchive.org/Vandal-Hearts/Update%2026/4-PSD3D054.jpg a metal bow as big as the wielder, and a crossbow that looks like a cricket bat with a slingshot attached], the most amusing is the metal pavise with a mechanical launcher strapped to it, fed by a ''belt of arrows''. When firing, it makes various engine sounds, then shoots... a single arrow. It can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20121208233154/http://gamersonlyolder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/vandal-03.png here], on the bottom left corner.
* The 1993 Amiga classic ''[[Video Game/Hired Guns|Hired Guns]]'' has the Disruptor Cannon, little more than a monstrous drum-shaped gun with a small display that just reads "OK". When fired, it actually throws the character back a few spaces (or deals huge damage when the backblast hits the wall behind him or her).
* Canderous Ordo (a.k.a. Mandalore) of the ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' series has a taste for these. The first time you meet him he's carrying what amounts to the blaster equivalent of a .50 caliber machine gun ... as if it was a carbine. Later he mentions his disdain for Echani weapons, calling them "delicate with too little firepower".
