10 WORST Video Game Weapons

9. Water Gun - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V, despite being easily the most flawed of the original Metal Gear Solid games (I'll be deep in the cold cold ground before I recognize Survive as a true Metal Gear Solid game) still has a lot going for it that makes it a worthy entry in the franchise. If nothing else, elements like the water gun gave us one last helping of that Kojima trolling charm.

One of the weapons you can pick up across the game is a water gun. It doesn't shoot acid, or nanomachines, or some other Kojima weirdo nonsense bullsh*t, it's just water. It can short-circuit some (but not all) machinery, you can spray Quiet with it while she's lounging around her cell in case the game wasn't calling BS on Kojima's laughable explanation for her being half naked enough for your liking, but that's about it.

Because - and I feel I have not yet stressed this enough - it is a water gun. A toy for children.

A humorous joke played on the player, but good luck getting through the game with just this as your weapon.
