Top 7 Best Weapons in Video Games

[theRepublic]

 

1. The Lancer (Gears of War)

The Lancer is the best all-around weapon in FPS games. It has a good long-range use and a 60 round ammo clip. But what made it hit my number one spot on the list is the most awesome feature: the Chainsaw Bayonet. It is one of the few guns that have the ability to double as a melee weapon. And isn't that what FPS games are all about? Melee, gore, long-range use, the Lancer has it all. Plus it's great to being able to saw your way into an enemy, and I hope the new counter moves with the Lancer in GOW2 will make it even better.

First, Gears of War is third person.

Second, the Lancer is not that great of an all-around weapon.  It is pretty useless on insane mode.  It takes far too many bullets to take an enemy down.  It is quicker, easier, and safer to use a shotgun or sniper rifle.
