10 Ridiculous Video Game Weapons That Are Totally Awesome

1. Shrink Ray (Duke Nukem 3D)

Duke Nukem 3D The Duke Nukem series has never tried to take itself seriously for even a second, and hence it shouldn't be a surprise that it's showed up in this list. Duke Nukem 3D boasts the very best weapon in the series, a shrink ray that allows you to take some of the more challenging enemies in the game and reduce them to the size of a small rodent. You'll giggle at them running around for a moment, but if you move close, the game will take over and have Duke stomp them like an insect. In addition to this, it's possible to bounce the ray off a mirror and back to yourself, causing Duke to become miniature, allowing you to move through areas that would be unreachable in a normal size (though if you return to normal size during these sections, you will die). Here's one weapon that totally understands what its audience wants, and then actually gives it to them. Which ridiculous weapon is your favourite? Is there a better one we missed? Let us know in the comments below.
