14. We Heard You Like Chainsaws - Gears Of War

For those situations where guns just don't kill fast enough; the brains behind Epic Games' first Gears Of War decided that mowing down the Locust horde required more intimate combat to efficiently kill over just spraying bullets everywhere and hoping for the best. Thus, The Lancer was born.

This instrument of death took the notion of attaching a bayonet to a rifle as a means to fend off attackers in close proximity to a whole new level. Keep your sharp, pointy blade you Neanderthals, an under-barrel chainsaw is far more efficient and high-tech. Messy, yes, but efficient.

Call Of Duty eat your heart out; your hundreds of different attachments, gadgets and the like could never come close to being as iconic as the revving of Gear's Lancers.
