10 More Weirdest Weapons In Video Game History

9. Wave Gun - Call Of Duty: Black Ops

When it comes to Call of Duty’s Zombies, an aura of whimsicality is a given. Mowing them zombies with a green laser-doughnut firing Ray Gun seemed normal, as did zapping a whole group of them with the Wunderwaffe. Hell, an explosive bolt sniper rifle seemed pretty normal, and the 31-79 JGb215 (more commonly known as the baby gun) had you shrink zombies down and boot them across the map.

It was silly, yeah, but if we're talking WEIRD, the Wave Gun takes the 115-infused cake.

As if heading to the moon for Black Ops 1’s DLC 4 was odd enough, the aptly-named Zap Guns added a retro-futuristic approach to the wonder-weapon pool rather well. Created in-universe by the same chap who designed the first two iterations of the Ray Gun, this nifty pair had quite the unique feature - an ability to be locked together to form the wave gun.

This wonderful device can affect a sizeable horde in one go, or the lonesome zombie if you feel like wasting ammo, and makes the zombies freeze up and shake uncontrollably, before playing up on the low-gravity, floating up into the air, inflating like a balloon, and going ‘pop’ with a nice ding.

It’s a wonderfully silly way to clear out the undead, and would’ve been even more fun if they’d have dropped it into multiplayer too. That’d be a fun addition to Blackout, let me tell you.
