BFG10K
An upgraded version of the classic Doom weapon, the Big "Fantastic" Gun mark 10,000 is a fictional futuristic weapon originating from the Quake series.
An advanced model of the BFG 9000of Doom (Game). Resembling a cannon, it takes a few seconds to charge. Upon firing, the Big Fantastic Gun launches a large, glowing green plasma ball (visually identical to the weapon's fire in Doom). The plasma ball then fires lasers at any nearby enemies, which inflict damage comparable to being in slime. The plasma ball explodes on impact with a target, throwing splash damage to anything nearby, and inflicting huge damage on any target suffering a direct hit.
Although a weapon of the same name appears in Quake III, it is considerably different from both the original BFG 10K and the BFG 9000. Quake IIIs BFG is a rapid-fire weapon, firing out bursts of fast-moving, explosive plasma. In effect, Quake IIIs BFG is a rapid-fire Rocket Launcher, somewhat similar to early beta versions of Doom's BFG.
