Performing more research !
The title is correct. As I will be looking at some examples of weird weapons within popular games that seemingly do not fit the vibe of the rest of the game.
These weapons include Mr Toots from Red Faction: Armageddon, The Dubstep Gun from Saints Row 4 (I remember there used to be a Minecraft mod based around this), the Grooviton from Ratchet and Clank (2016), Mutated Milk from Team Fortress 2, The Cluckshot from Gears of War 3, The Hand Cannon from Dead Space 2, and finally the Super Sheep from Worms - The DIrectors Cut (1997).
That's a lot of weapons and games with no information about them, but I'll get through it.
Mr Toots - Red Faction: Armageddon:
This weapon is an interesting one. (I apologise for the low quality image.)
According to the wiki, this weapon is believed to be based off of the popular Nyan Cat meme, and I can certainly see where they're coming from. Especially because in the game, when you 'fire' him, rainbows seem to shoot out of his rear end. (There was not much on the Wiki, I'm sorry.)
The Dubstep Gun - Saints Row IV
This is another very strange example of a weapon that does not fit the games theme.
It is a very powerful weapon in which while it is firing, as the name implies, there is accompanying dubstep along with it (very 2013).
Groovitron - Ratchet and Clank (2016)
The Groovitron is another interesting weapon that acts similar to the Fortnite Boogie Bomb (though fortnite released after this, so that would probbaly be based off of this, if anything.) It is a recurring item in the Ratched & Clank franchise in which it first appeared as a usable weapon in the 'A Crack in Time' game, released in 2009.
Mutated Milk - Team Fortress 2
Added in the 'Love & War' update of June 2014, the Mutated Milk is an item which seems to be a reskin of a pre-existing item, the Mad Milk, as it does the exact same thing, with only a few cosmetic changes. Out of every weapon in this list, this is the least 'weird' in my opinion as Team Fortress 2 has a wide variety of odd and wacky weapons.
The Cluckshot - Gears of War 3
According to the Wiki (I know none of these weapons except the Dubstep Gun from Saints Row 4, so all of the information I get is from the Wiki's of the respective games), the Cluckshot is identical to an already existing weapon in the game, the Boomshot Grenade Launcher. However, rather than firing grenades, it shoots explosive chickens.
The Hand Cannon - Dead Space 2
Within Dead Space 2 is a weapon called the Hand Cannon. Now, if you've played any game with a gun before, you'd be thinking 'Oh okay it's like a Desert Eagle or something like in Fortnite?'. No.
It is a giant foam finger, a literal 'hand' cannon.
The weapon seems to be very overpowered within the game, though it is only unlockable after beating the game on Hard Core mode, or on Impossible mode in the 2023 remaster.
As it one-shots every single enemy it comes in to contact with, it is definetly one of the more overpowered weapons on this list, being able to rapid fire it with an unlimited ammo capacity and a fast rate of fire.
Super Sheep - Worms: The Directors Cut
As you can tell, this is a very weird weapon, because this is literally just a sheep with a cape.
Interestingly, it isn't even that weird in Worms, considering the fact that is has weapons from the Holy Hand Grenade, to just a literal sheep, not to be confused with this Super Sheep.
This shows that no matter what setting or environment your game has, there can always be funny and unique weapons that don't have to fit the environment.
Obviously, this has to be done in moderation because it could ruin the immersion.
