10 Ridiculous Video Game Weapons That Are Totally Awesome

7. Cow Launcher (South Park)

South Park Though the N64 game based on the South Park world is far from great, it did replicate the visual style and juvenile tone of the universe unmistakably well. This is realised in no better way than the fact that the game's best weapon comes in the form of a cow launcher, which is a sure complement given that the game's other weapons of choice include yellow snowballs and a toilet plunger launcher. How does the weapon work? Well, you fire the bovine creature at an enemy, and in the best case scenario, the enemy will become stuck up the cow's behind, dying soon thereafter. If you miss, the results are equally if not more hilarious; the cow will splat all over the environment, leaving a lovely, bloody mess that's just as satisfying. Though it makes no sense how the cow can fit inside the launcher - or where the cows come from - you're sort of missing the point if you start questioning things like that in a game that also features killer robots and toys that have come to life.
