10 Video Game Weapons That Went Too Far
6. Shark Guns - Armed and Dangerous and Saints Row The Third
They're guns. That use sharks. That travel through the ground before coming up under your enemy and chomping them into bits.
You don't have to be on the water, or even near it - in fact, the Saints Row version won't work if you're on a boat. You don't have to capture a shark and train it to do it's thing. Nope, you just fire the gun and a freakin' shark travels to your opponent and eats them.
The scary thing is, not one, but two different game franchises include this madness. Armed and Dangerous released first in 2003, with this gun as part of your standard arsenal. Saints Row The Third released in 2008, including what they called the Shark-O-Matic as part of a DLC pack, in homage to Armed and Dangerous' original.
The Armed and Dangerous version actually fires baby sharks that mature in the few seconds it takes to travel to the target; the Saints Row version shoots ground-up fish at the target, which confuses them and lures the legendary Steelport Sewer Shark to rise up through the street.
Either way, it is an insane concept, that some government scientist is probably trying to create as we speak.
