Shell from Enter the Gungeon

Shotguns that shoot shells are nothing out of the odd—in any case, that is how they work in actual life, and most video games follow that.

The Borderlands franchise is famend for its large arsenal of weapons, so it was tough to select only one for this checklist.

The Butt Stallions explode on impression, dealing important harm.

9

Skippy from Cyberpunk 2077

Skippy from Cyberpunk 2077 is not an overpowered gun like many others on this checklist; it is truly a reasonably normal good pistol.

Fats Man from Fallout

Dubstep Gun from Saints Row IV

The Dubstep Gun from Saints Row IV is my private favourite from this checklist. Truthfully, I may fill this complete checklist with weapons from Volition video games, as they’re well-known for his or her loopy and distinctive weapons.
