I find most of the comments here are mostly shortcomings or opinions on the players' parts, though R33's complaints about the hunting rifles is true, fair enough. GF, addressing the Gunlance, might i point out that the strongest monsters in the game have been solo'd by people with gunlances.
there isn't a modern weapon capable of matching the silence of the bow. even silenced weapons will give off a noticable plink sound at best. the bow is absolutely silent, and in the right hands, an incredibly lethal weapon. many modern day professional hunters use bows instead of guns, as a matter of fact.
have you ever used a professional slingshots? they're lethal. trust me on that one. it's a common weapon used by bedouins here to kill street cats, and on a professional scale, larger targets [i do not endorse their actions, but i have to admit, it's effective]
as for Gira...
regarding the Hyper Beam, that's called balancing. if they didn't, it would be a game breaker. and in any case, IIRC, most pokemon that use Hyper Beam are extremely powerful anyway, and can be highly effective against enemies even without it, unless they're especially trained FOR Hyper Beam spam. though to my knowledge, there aren't many of that kind...
I've seen people solo Fatalis [all three] with GS', and in some cases, they managed to pull it off untouched [though that's extremely rare with Fatalis, it happens ALOT with other monsters. Los is a prime example].
R33...fair enough. though people have modded games so that Light Sabers do cut. in games it's explained off as shallow cuts. not deep enough to sever limbs and such.
Ins3kt....It only speeds up and increases the range of stabs. makes you bolt for your target when you knife him. and Commando Pro allows you to drop from any height and not take impact damage, IIRC. fairly decent. but then, these are perks meant to enhance gameplay. if they didn't exist, MW2 would be Counter Strike Source with more weapon options...
I'd love to contribute to the list, but quite frankly, i can't remember a bad weapon at the moment.
