10 Best Original Weapons In Video Game History

2. Portal Gun - Portal

The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, or Portal Gun if you don't have time for all that, is a nifty tool indeed. Whether you would say you technically deem it as a weapon or not, something with capabilities as powerful - and potentially mischievous as this - certainly has the chance of being truly weaponised.

The Portal Gun lets you create and place portals on immobile surfaces, so long as they're big enough. While you can't shoot it straight at an enemy to force them directly through a portal, clever manipulation of your surroundings could cause them no end of distress if you can be precise enough.

With an additional feature that makes use of item manipulation similar to that of Half-Life's Gravity Gun, objects can be picked up and pushed forward if an extra bit of firepower is needed. Combining the two features can be surprisingly deadly if used in the right sequence, so consider this the thinking man's weapon of choice.
