9 Video Game Guns That DON'T Kill

9. Anti-BT Handgun - Death Stranding

Even for a Hideo Kojima game, Death Stranding is deeply, deeply strange. It's a game where babies in jars, antimatter ghosts and medically inadvisable amounts of Monster Energy drink consumption all come together in what turns out to be a cross-country delivery-man simulator.

Naturally, that level of mind-boggling weirdness extends to the game's arsenal. The most efficient way of battling those ghosts mentioned earlier? Shooting them with a handgun powered by your own blood.

The Anti-BT handgun is one of Death Stranding's "hematic" weapons, and uses blood bags as ammunition. If that wasn't creepy enough, if you run out of bags the gun leeches blood from the protagonist's body and fires that at enemies instead.

Crucially for this list, while the handgun exorcises the already-dead spirits wondering the world, the living remain completely unaffected by it. Well, as unaffected as anyone who receives a faceful of Norman Reedus' life-blood would be.

Also, while it's not a gun we just had to mention Death Stranding's EX grenades. These are explosives powered by, according to the in-game database, "...bodily fluids, excrement, and other waste products".

Never change, Kojima.
