10 Video Game Weapons That Went Too Far

4. The Suicide Gun - Duck Game

Duck Game is a 2D platformer shooter. The game moves at a quick pace and doesn't really allow for time to figure out all the mechanics of things that come your way. You encounter a variety of weapons, including, to the no-doubt-massive surprise of the first person to find it, the suicide gun. This is a pretty straightforward weapon that does exactly what it says.

The suicide gun looks like a regular revolver, being distinguished only by its red grip and backwards barrel sprite. When used, it fires rounds into the user's face instead of at at enemies, which is a most impractical design for a weapon.

However, it's not completely useless. There are certain situations where, depending on how your character is situated, the gun will hit enemies behind your character. It can also be used to fire at angles and while falling - you just need to do some mental math and take some time to play around with it.

Which is hard to do, because the game is constantly moving you forwards and doesn't really give you time to lollygag and experiment with your new toy.

Thanks for the big F U, superjoebob and Adult Swim Games.
