    MOD EDIT: Please include the level requirement of the gun you are posting about!


    I posted this a day early because by the sounds of it a lot of you have got the game already and when the rest of us get the game tommorow and find the "SUPER AWESOME MEGA GUNZ" you'll want somewhere to post it without making your own thread. Also becuase someone was bound to post this thread and I need MEGAZ THREADZ.
    Im English and therefore wont have the game until Friday......

    so far the most ridiculous thing ive seen is my revolver:
     
    56 Dmg x7
    +55% reload speed
    +42% accuracy.
     
    At level 11, this gun shoots 7 pellets hitting for 56 *each* bringing the grand total to a bit over 350(its like a revolver shotgun, but with no spread, so awesome.  only real issue is the 2 shot mag, but I was one shotting lvl 19 Skags (only badasses took more) with it tonight in 2 player co-op.  :)

    Dude, I let out a raucous early 20's whoop. That was so over the top immature that I couldn't help but crack up. It's like the developers all got together in a room, tapped a keg, and threw ideas back and forth. Amazing. Games that don't take themselves too seriously really work for me.

    What's this? No love for Sledge's shotgun? That shit is nuts! It has zero accuracy, so you have to be RIGHT up in their grill, but  it fires a two shot shotgun burst, depleting the whole clip. So basically it fires slow as fuck, but if you hit 'em... they're gone. Also it's the best for healing, with maxed out cauterize I can heal over 400 HP in one shot. Really good for conserving ammo.

    So I was playing last night and found another great weapon. It's actually a purple revolver I bought from the item of the day. The have some nice stuff there sometimes. It only does 176 damage, but it has x4 shock explosions with a very high chance to hit elementally and a wicked fast reload. It's a Maliwan, of course. It works so good!

    I picked up an odd looking gun that was named in binary code.  It looks like some sort of alien sniper rifle and it says it does 575 damage, but I can't use it yet since it's a level 19 requirement.

    My best is a Legendary shotgun.  I don't have the details at the moment, but it's a beast.  I do about 1200 damage at point blank range with it.  Best part is that it's a "x7" semi-auto.  = D

    I've had a couple of ridiculous guns in my time with Borderlands... Right now I'm rocking a double-barreled shotgun you get from a boss fight; it fires both barrels simultaneously, so it basically has a one-shot clip, which is super unfortunate. I also have an scope-less sniper rifle you get from another boss fight that unleashes pure, unadulterated rage upon its targets (seriously, I can take out Badass Bruisers with three crits from this baby) and has a reasonably high rate of fire for a sniper. My last gun is a purple pistol I've had since level 13... It's pure madness that the gun is so good that it's lasted me through level 21.

    Man, 10110 is a GREAT gun.  My buddy got ahold of it through a quest (the bastard), and it's actually quite accurate and the recharge time on it isn't that bad.  At 27, he was busting 24s and 25s in one shot.  Quite interesting. 
     
    I picked up an Eridian gun earlier that was basically CRAP.  Massive spread to it, couldn't hit crap, and when it did, it barely knicked the enemy.

    My best gun is an orange combat rifle, name is something like "War Monger" It has a relatively average magazine at only 12 rounds, but the reload speed is pretty quick. Each round does around 150 damage, and it fires in three round bursts. In addition, it regenerates ammo. By the time you've emptied a mag, you've already got it back. It also has a pretty nice zoom, and works beautifully at any range. It's really nice for me, because as a tank, I don't have any of the ammo regen buffs that Roland would get from his skill tree, so I'm getting one of that characters big perks on a character that is for all intents and purposes a bullet sponge. 999 health, 666 shield at the moment, kind of cool.

    I find it sad that both the orange-rarity guns I've found have sucked.  There was an infinite ammo magnum....but the magnum itself was crap.  There was also a rocket launcher that let me tell it when to explode in midair, but it was otherwise really crappy...I'm sad now

    So far, at level 36, my best weapon is a level 28 shotgun. 6 shot bursts and rockets. It's good for AOE but not for a single target. I can lay out a herd of rakks in 1 trigger squeeze.  It's also got a scope and because the 6 shots are rockets it has good range, but it spreads a lot the farther it gets. All the same it's a badass weapon. 
     
    I have a couple more good guns but that's the best.

    If you mean that gun with the binary code on it, I had it drop the other day but I don't ever use it. It's some sort of energy burst thing that only has 3 shots (for me) and I've found it to be cool but not effective enough.

    I am still pretty fresh to the game at the moment, but lately I've been using this pistol that has done wonders for me so far:
     
    RF4 Nasty Repeater
    Damage: 22
    Accuracy: 87.2
    Fire Rate: 3.0
    +13% Magazine Size
    +53% Damage
     
    I am only at level eight and I don't have much money, so I'm literally working with what I've got.
     
    EDIT: Scrap what I said before. I purchased a shotgun that is awesome!
     
    SPR15 Terrible Shotgun
    Damage: 44 (x9)
    Accuracy: 63.9
    Fire Rate: 0.4
    +158% Damage
     
    So, basically, when I shoot skags and bandits, they fuckin' BLOW apart. It's quite amazing.

    So I finally got to level 19 so I could use my weird alien weapon.  It's not the one that you described since there is no red text, but it looks really funky (kind of like something out of Prey) and it shoots this big blob of purple matter that annihilates whatever it hits.

    Got the game today and am a level 12 soldier.
    Just brought a purple/orange repeater pistol (the guns orange whilst the text is purple, which is right?)
    Damge:40
    Accuracy:83.1
    Fire rate:24.3
     
    Burst fire
    +500% burst fire
    +66% Fire rate
    +50% Damge
     
    My dream gun in this was a machine pistol so im pretty happy. I havent even attempted going full auto with this yet becuase it would just tear through it in an instant however pistol ammo is for the cheaps so it wouldnt even matter. Look at the accuracy on this aswell, even though it fires off its 16 round magazine in an instant it still remains accurate. Awesome gun

    I suppose my best gun would be the legendary revolver (from a quest) with unlimited ammo, but it's ass and I only use it to conserve ammo.  
     
    I really liked the Elephant gun, but now that I've changed zones and the enemies have gone up in level it doesn't seem to be as effective, so I guess it's back to the grindstone for me until I find a weapon set I'm happy with...again.

    idk how rare this is or if it's always in this certain quest, but I just found a legendary rocket launcher.

    If you mean that gun with the binary code on it, I had it drop the other day but I don't ever use it. It's some sort of energy burst thing that only has 3 shots (for me) and I've found it to be cool but not effective enough. "
    Red text translates to "OMG".  Those were the first words out of my mouth when my friend popped a shot off with it!  LOL

    Lol, that's funny. I didn't even bother to try to translate it, I wish I had. I'm loving this game so much for all these little things that make me laugh.

    No shit, what a let down. That ugly bastard killed me 3 times, and sadly his weapon drop was worse then the guns I found on my way to him! Oh well, you can't win them all.

    It depends. Being that the drops are so randomized, one guy could go into that fight with a weapon of god, while the next guy could go into that same fight with a pea shooter. It all depends on how lucky you've been.
