Line 35:
* [[Big Freaking Gun]]: Extremely slow, and chews up a ''lot'' of ammo (or has very little ammo to begin with,) but [[Peace Through Superior Firepower/Tactical Nukes|annihilates everybody in the room]].
** Target Designator: A signal flare, laser designator, homing beacon or other tool used to mark targets for air strikes, [[Kill Sat]] strikes, or other [[Death From Above|massive damage from above]]. Which is balanced by being completely useless indoors.
* Gimmicky Weapon: A peculiar weapon that operates more on the [[Rule of Funny]] than any practical usage. Like ''[[Duke Nukem]]''{{'}}s shrink-ray and freeze-ray, ''[[Unreal Tournament]]''{{'}}s translocator and link gun, ''[[Doom|Doom 3]]''{{'}}s soul cube, ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]''{{'}}s portal gun, ''[[Half-Life 2]]''{{'}}s gravity gun, ''[[Battlefield (series)|Battlefield]] 2142''{{'}}s [[EMP|EMP grenades]] and countless [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]s. Often helps in puzzle solving, sometimes to the extent of being a [[Magic Tool]].
** [[Utility Weapon]]: A gun which is mainly there for the afformentionedaforementioned puzzle solving. Typical examples are barnacle "gun" in ''Opposing Force'', portal gun in ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' and gravity gun in ''[[Half-Life 2]]''.
* [[Bifurcated Weapon|Secondary options]]: Simply put, [[Secondary Fire|things you can do with the weapon in addition]] to its primary fire and method of killing. Not to be confused with scopes, [[Hollywood Silencer|silencers]] attached or different kinds of (lethal) ammo, as it is still the same weapon being utilized in the same way, aided toward a certain role. Examples include grenade launcher (frequently to assault rifles) or bayonets attachments, or just plain [[Pistol-Whipping|hitting something with the weapon]].
* Gun Turret: A very powerful, rapid-fire, high-accuracy weapon, usually with unlimited ammo. Would be perfect and utterly overpowered if it wasn't bolted down in a fixed location (sometimes facing a fixed direction only, giving it a limited area of fire). Expect [[More Dakka]], maybe even [[Gatling Good|a minigun]]. When you see this gun, prepare for a [[Suspicious Videogame Generosity|scripted ambush.]]
