10 Video Game Weapons That Went Too Far

9. The Dubstep Gun - Saints Row 4

The in-game description of the weapon pretty much says it all: 'It's a party in a gun! Make the world dance to your beat and fear the power of your wubs!'

The gun looks similar in appearance to a DJ's console, old school record to scratch included. It's very powerful, not cheap, and has a unique effect - when fired, it causes anyone (and any vehicles) in its area of effect to bounce up and down like the street's become a club.

As far as a joke weapon goes, it's fairly elaborate. There are four different costumes that go with the Gun, each providing a different style of music and look, and the music you pick actually changes the rate of fire and intensity of the shots.

There are a few drawbacks to the Dubstep. It needs recharge time, not ammo. It's not accurate, just powerful, with a crazy area of impact. And if you love the effect of the music you pick but not the music itself, you're stuck with it as the song plays as long as you have the Dubstep equipped.

Still, a fun and crazy weapon that fits into the Saint's Row world perfectly.
