Black Ops 1 Zombies Best Gun to Pack a Punch
1 Thundergun
The Thundergun is an amazing wonder weapon, one of the best ever in fact. Immediately kills every zombie withing a 90 degree angle. Respectable ammo, very balanced in that aspect. This gun is a "SAVE ME NOW" wonder weapon. If you have any sort of trouble, zombies are surrounding you in a corner, the nova 6 explosions are about to kill you, etc you just blast the good ol' Thundergun and the hastle is all over.
The Thundergun's only weakness is it's lack of ability to spawn drops. If you want a Max Ammo, you need to use the ray gun or Galil or RPK or whatever which is just impossible on round like 40. Glad they gave the Thundergun the drop ability in BO3
If you haven't been to high rounds you don't know how good this is. It may be scarce on ammo but you can kill a full wave of zombies with it on any round. It's a need to make it to the high rounds. Try and make it there with a ray gun and no thundergun. Good luck
On a high round: uh oh... Look at all those zombies! Ah! X backs in corner X. Ah! I'm surrounded! Oh wait, I have the thundergun! X blasts thundergun once X. Wow! I wonder where all the zombies went...
Obliterates all the zombies in an area with one shot, even on rounds 50 and up. Has saved me and my teammates from certain death many, many times.
2 Raygun
Although in this case it is a close competitor to the Thundergun, I believe that this should sit on top as the best gun on black ops. The main difference between the two is that the raygun has a more suitable magazine for zombies. It's just as powerful if you know how to use it. Overall this gun overtakes the thundergun and the zombies!
Man, I love thi... Oh no, zombies coming... Loads of them... Wait! I have a raygun and just pack-a-punched it... (raygun shooting sound)... Whew... That was close. Oh yes... Man, I love this gun.
Known to be the most powerful weapon ever in the game. Including Black Ops 2. In World At War, the weapon sucked as HELL.
The Ray Gun saved my life. I had Juggar nog and I was surrounded by 1 zombie. This gun is great for zombies to kill with. Upgraded is Porters X2 Ray Gun
3 Galil
The laminator (upgraded version of galil is AMAZING. The non upgraded is still pretty good too. but don't pack a punch until you have ) bullets and are in a struggle. Also it has the best damage per shot of any full auto gun in zombies
Fast and does much damage.
Also has the most ammo has a assault rifle.
Great gun upgrade.
4 HK-21
HUGE magazine size and decent reload time. It doesn't work as well in later rounds, but it's still awesome for points then.
This gun is so overrated it just sucks...
The hk is good at the start but towards the long rounds it gets worse and worse
5 RPK
Should be at number four. It has a higher firing rate than the hk21 and three times the firing rate and power of the mp40. But seriously, why is the mp40 before the rpk? Obviously you haven't tried to use the mp40 past round 8. The rpk, galil, aug, raygun, thundergun, and monkey bombs are about the only guns that do anything past round 15. Rpk is one of the top guns in the game. Can't beat that firing rate and 500 rounds!
Before getting Mule Kick I always attempt to get RPK and Ray Gun, the RPK especially once upgraded around round 20 will help you survive and make points. Overall the gun is one of 3 guns I aim to get before I get my 3rd
I just love the look of it and if you pack a punch it, it not only has a cool name, but tears through zombies. If you have the thunder gun and RPK, you will last very long
6 AUG
Actually I love this gun I think it deserves the number 1 spot.
7 Commando
I love the Commando I use when I play Shangra-la and it is a beast of a gun. It really makes me sad that is only at 8th place. I think top 5 at least. Its got good iron sights and aim. Its got quite a bit of ammo so that is another good sign of this gun. The predator is a beast gun. Now imagine that gun with Double tap 2.0 from Call of Duty BO2 that would probably be one of the best guns in all of zombies besides wonder weapons. This is just my opinion.
Fast and easy kill
8 Monkey Bomb
Though supply is limited and it takes a couple seconds to take effect, no weapon slots are needed and it temporarily negates all zombies (except dogs).
This is super useful for saving a downed teammate or getting that bunch of zombies away.
Helps lure zombies away
9 Mp40
This is the best wall gun in zombies and maybe the best non wonder weapon il tell you why... 1st you need to have double tap once you get double tap the rof is good, you can buy ammo for it off the wall real cheap so ammo is never ever a probably, and has assault rifle damage. this is one of the few guns that are better non PAP because non PAP you can refill on ammo for only 500 points, but the PAP version of the mp is only 34 more reserve rounds and only get a liitle tiny better rof and damage so you are better off with just non PAPing it
Can buy ammo for it, deals enough damage to get by. At late rounds, only this and wonder weapons are worth using, along with traps.
This gun is my best friend. Have ALL zombies map to date and I know that this gun is effective especially on Verrückt and Kino der Toten. The PAP version on the other hand is a complete letdown
The Contenders
11 Ballistic Knife
12 Wunderwaffe
This gun is amazing but shouldn't be on the list. Only way to get it in black ops 1 is have the veteran version of the game or on an Easter egg in Call of the Dead.
Love gun why so low rate
This should be #1
13 Ray Gun Mark II
This gun should be in 5th place because it is AWESOME!
How is ray gun on the list but not this?!
14 PPSh-41
This gun should be at least in the top 5, it's so muchbetter than the RPK, HK and Ray Gun...
Proven to be the most powerful gun in zombies history...
Why is this not at top? Such a good gun, amazing.
Best machine gun ever.
15 Zeus Cannon
Should be on top, kills more zombies and has more ammo.
Why is d thundergun in first and this in #16?
17 SPAS-12
Easily one of the best shotguns in zombies.
I love the spas 12 but when it's PAP the spas 24 is nuts, full auto+high damage+ no aim
18 Gersch Device
19 Ancient Bows
If you know how to use it...
Should be number one, when you upgrade it with the wolf upgrade
20 Wind Staff
21 Wave Gun
22 MP5k
Should be lower. Mp5k was the second worst smg in bo1. Don't mistake it for the bo2 mp5 which was pretty good. We are talking about mp5k from bo1 which was so bad that instead of a wall weapon it should be a troll mystery box gun. Good for points I can't lie about that but if you are looking for a killing gun anything is better than this
I don't know what you guys think, but it should at least be number 5. It is a great gun for surviving in zombies. You can buy ammo if your running low. Its an amazing gun in general
Good for points.
23 M16
The best weapon by far without having to upgrade. Unlimited ammo for 600 if you do bundles of zombies in the theater.
The best gun in the whole game is the m16, yeah it might do little damage itself but upgraded it raises hell
25 M1216
