The first Big Freakin' Gun. Originally designed by the UAC as just a massive plasma cannon, and based partly around physics discovered by studying the Gateways on the two moons of Mars, it had some unusual and unexpected side effects. The gun unleashes a gigantic plasma blast that sets up a quantum ripple in space around the gun and shooter. When the ball detonates, an ionic blast erupts from the gun in the same direction as the original shot, striking all victims in sight. The giant plasma ball is not to be trifled with, either. It takes a second to charge up and fire, but the BFG9000's unusual properties also shield you from the blast, so charge it up and get in close, then let them have it!
