Most fun / interesting / unique weapons you've used?
As the title says, what are the most fun and / or interesting weapons you've ever used and what character did you use them on? Ignoring DPS and other stuff like that, focus on the other aspects of the weapon

Also, what weapons do you think are under used and deserve more attention? Personally i think that Shredifier and Carnage when used with the foregrip are better than most give them credit for

Fibber with Gaige. Part of it is that it hard to use with the other vault hunters especially when you don't have good surface to ricochet off of. With Gaige, you can play all sorts of crazy angles by bouncing shots off of walls or ceilings. Shooting enemies behind cover and around corners. It just never gets old.
I think the Octo is super fun but i don't see anyone use
Hail (Axton) and Sawbar (Maya) my personal faws. Tricky to use, but once you learn these guns, they're wreck everything on your way.

Second the Sawbar. Not sure if it fits the question, but I've been having fun with that recently on both Maya and Axton.

I actually have fun trying to make just about anything work.

Recently was doing a Bandit allegiance Gaige. Really started to like Bandit shotguns with the fire-rate bonus from an allegiance relic. That charcter got put on hold though.

One weapon I'm not sure too many people make use of is Jakobs rifles with a vladof spiny barrel. I'm always on the lookout for those no matter who I'm playing. Recently used one for 70-72 on Maya along with some other weapons. I usually have one in my inventory when leveling even if it isn't slotted.

I've found myself using the Roksalt at one point or another on the last few characters. I think it's a pretty good shotgun. It has better stats all around than a same level blue Bandit shotgun. All said and done, it's probably better than a purple. Good leveling shotgun. Parts don't matter. Just grab it and go. I'm sure it would make a fine max level shotty for some builds as well, though there are some better choices.

Ever tried the Jolly Roger? Man, that thing is a beastly killing machine. Very underrated.
Bandit guns get a lot of flak but their Shotguns, Launchers and especfially SMGs are quite good.

I've had a lot of fun with the Longbow recently. Very powerful and lots of fun if you get used to it.

The Sloth is one of the most underrated weapons in the game, feels like the Stinger & Stalker are often overlooked and ARs in general aren't as bad as their reputation makes it seem like.

That bottom picture looks like a Callipeen with a Maliwan barrel. Am I missing something here? The damage on Muckamuck should be a lot higer than the Hyperian one above it. At least I would think so.

to put it simply the Callipeen (Starter) got replaced by Hyperion,
which got replaced by Muckamuck...
so..level 1 to lvl 7 to lvl 7..
now looking for level 11.

It looks like the bottom picture is a Callipeen also. Not sure why the game would call it a Muckamuck. Off the top of my head, I would think that a White Muckamuck would have even a bigger damage per shot advantage over the Hyperian. I don't really use Hyperian rifles if I don't have to. I just know that a white Muckamuck even in UVHM can pack a hell of a punch.

the scaling is not that high on level 7, its really only a few points of damage difference on that low level

I was having a brain **** too. I was looking at the gun in his hand when the the gun on the card is out of view. That explains lot. :-(

IMHO people don't mention Hyperion Transmurderas much, because they're overshadowed by the B!tch, but they're great on almost everyone, especially as you are levelling up.

Way back when modded weapons were allowed, I had this rocket launcher / gun called the "Double Penetrating Nukem" that was Bad Ass. It was black or orange, I think, and you shot it straight up into the air and aimed for an arc type of shot / drop /payload. Man, talk about hillarious room cleaning. :-)

I forget who actually made it but I believe it came from someon on Sev7sins.
