Of all the shooters from history, which game is the most satisfying. This doesn't have to be just in terms of raw firepower, it can be just like how it feels or how it sounds.
I have two. One might be a controversial choice so we'll go with that first. Half-Life 2's gravity gun - especially when combined with the circular saw blades on the Ravenholm level! Extremely satisfying to line up headcrab zombies and slice them all in half with a saw blade.
The next one, is just sublime to use. Sadly it chews through ammo the same rate it chews through scum-sucking aliens. Duke Nukem 3D's Devastator:

. It was not an ordinary weapon. I remember the first time i use it, i laughed non stop. Nowadays, the guns are loud and shiny but no personality. That old design is still very preferable.
