I was just thinking that after I posted. You can use your Sun of a Gun, but at the expense that it can be looted off of your dead body if another player defeats you. But I don't want to be scared to use my weapon in multiplayer that I worked so hard to attain. Maybe just avoid Multiplayer? But then it would feel like players were "hogging" the cool weapons to themselves. Maybe there is a sizable number of named weapons out there and Bungie will slowly let them loose in the game universe as the story progresses. My mind is racing all over the place with this right now.

I think it's important to understand what "death" is within the game. If I die in "co-op" mode, do I just lay there with a hole in my chest? How am I resurrected? What do my friends see? Do I have to track back to them?

What about in "multi-player"...will it just be like a game of Halo where I can die and re-spawn 20 times? I like the idea of passing unique, mythological weapons around the game universe, but losing it in MP would be so easy. So how, then?

Think about the pressure if you had the one and only Thorn. People would be outright stalking you to put it up for a challenge. But Bungie seems to be trying to unite/unify/heal the online community, not drive it into a frenzy of envy and grief.

Still, it's fun to think about.

Mine would be a shotgun that each pellet could get a headshot. It would emulate my normal panic mode of firing as many pistol/dmr shots as I can at once.

Always tries to fire the same bullet twice. If anyone notices and the second bullet is pointed out as a re-fire, the gun then removes any evidence and denies ever firing this second bullet.

This gun also has racing stripes, and sounds like "Roll Tide" when it fires.

What would the Bluerunner be?

The Flashback: When an enemy is shot he is locked into watching a random flashback from your character's history. This leaves the enemy disoriented, confused, and slightly bored.

Mine would be INFLICTION

After being killed by INFLICTION, a player will lose every shootout for the next 5 minutes in which they and the opposing player are using the same weapon. No matter how many bullets you put into their skull, if they are using the same weapon against you, THEY WILL WIN.

NOTE: I suck at DMR and BR shootouts

I think mine would be called the Silent Night. I've always been into sniping and staying hidden so my idea for this gun would be a sniper that would be very quiet during Destiny's night time cycle reducing the chance that enemies would be able to trace the origin of the shot.

Reflecting my incompetence at close-quarters battle and my inability to get headshots with a sniper rifle, my gun would be a bolt-action grenade launcher. With a lengthened barrel. And a scope. And a little laser pointer to direct the grenades.

It would be called "The Bravery of Being Out of Range."

If you get that reference without Google, I applaud your taste in music.

Parrot.

Miss Piggy. Resembles a small flamethrower with lips instead of teeth. Semiautomatic. Fires incendiary rounds that leave a distinctive tracer of pink smoke. Although it has a short range, anything flammable on a target (e.g., capes) is likely to become engulfed in flames.

Although some complain that the gun is high maintenance, in the right hands it is a force to be reckoned with.

Paddywagon, a rifle that points many barrels behind the user launching, or whooshing, the user forward at an alarming rate.

A pair of handguns strapped to each hip:

The Narcogen
Blasts a spray of irrefutable logic and measured reasoning that leaves opponents disoriented and scrambling to google obscure Latin phrases. It suffers from terrible latency due to abominable internet connection.

The Cody Miller
Ridiculously fast, sleek, and formidable when used properly. However, sometimes goes off half-cocked and can only be shot from the hip.

And also:

The Yakaman
Entirely nondescript and easily over-looked. When fired, may not be noticed and likely will do little damage. Also referred to as "Tree-Falling-In-The-Woods".

No offense intended, gentlemen. ;)

Name our weapons eh? Based on our unique characters and play style you don't say?

Some shots may appear to come from another player and are unexpectedly accurate. Others leave a clear contrail back to the shooter and pepper the landscape. There is no way to tell which type a shot will be before pulling the trigger.

-- Steve thinks it'd be highly entertaining for bystanders.

The Bro-itzen
• No matter how many shots fall on the target, it never kills. Leaving room for your bro's to come in and give you an assist.

Deadly Facet: Any killed enemy player that choses not to immediately respawn is treated to a semi-lengthy in-universe factoid narrated by me.

This gives me an idea: If a given DBOer were a gun in Destiny, what would that gun do?

Vay gun, type S, general-purpose model
Great at short range. Takes a while to respond sometimes. Classic and somewhat distinctive design and color scheme. It does stuff.

Troll/3r:

Automatic SMG that shoots super heated rounds of a dangerous material known as "nandonium" that emits a distinctive "OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" sound upon impact of the target.

Sniper Rifle type 316:

On appearance alone it is nothing more than a standard sniper rifle, however when the wielder is anyone but SNIPE-316 the rifle's intergrated bio-metric theft system alerts the user that it is Snipe's rifle, and produces a waypoint on their HUD of his current location so they can give him his rifle back.

When fired, the target hears before they die a faint "Halo 2 foreverrr" echo.

The Texterminator:

A launcher type weapon that fires a cluster rocket that when detonated release a pack of attack corgis. The target is helpless against their cuteness and dies a slow terrible, yet adorable death.

I would be fairly surprised if Destiny didn't have some melee weapons.

After playing Tomb Raider, I really want a bow. Some super awesome futuristic bow.

I'm getting tired of sci-fi franchises with swords. The only universe where it actually makes sense is Halo and Star Wars.

Of course, Destiny being science fiction with fantasy elements means that swords and melee weapons are guaranteed.
