9 Video Game Guns That DON'T Kill

4. Medi-Gun - Team Fortress 2

Should you wish to learn the ins and outs of the Medi-Gun, feel free to watch the above video. However, if you want the cliff-notes version: It's a gun that heals people and occasionally turns them (and the medic) invincible.

The only weapon on this list designed to help its target rather than hinder them, Team Fortress 2's medi-gun is a shining example of the eye-opening genius that made Valve the greatest developers in the world during the mid-noughties. (Spoiler alert - another of their creations from that time tops this list).

By giving their medics a method of healing over a distance, Valve made this oft-unloved class a viable option for gamers of all skill levels. No matter your level of skill, any gamer can jump right into a game of TF2 and start charging their allies' health at the click of a button.

And that feeling of joy you get watching your team's Heavy turn the enemy into mulch after you ubercharged them into an invincible colossus? There's nothing else quite like it in all of gaming.
