Postal 2's Desert Eagle. That thing was super-accurate from any distance, no bullet drop, no range limit, always dead-on accuracy and ridiculously easy to get headshots with it, even when the sniper rifle proper would make you miss. Unless you had to face hordes of angry talebans at close quarters, there was no better "general purpose" weapon.
If we speak about mass destruction however....then again Postal 2's Nuclear Facility (in the Apocalypse Weekend expansion) was easily the best ;-)
It is supposed to be a "no firearms" area where even a single pistol shot was pretty much guaranteed to strike one of the many stocked nuclear warheads, and cause a "smart bomb insta-kill" effect on everything on the level, including you. You were supposed to pass through that part using melee weapons only (and enemies used only melee weapons too), but at hardest difficulty levels they came equipped with firearms and usually set the fireworks off themselves ;-)
At some point I tried the game at a very high difficulty, only to discover that enemies either pulled firearms right away (causing the explosion themselves), or blocked ALL melee hits telling you "FUCK YOU, Buddy". Not good, since it was entirely random whether you could advance or not.
Until I noticed that if I stood as far back as possible from the tunnel that connected the lift area to the nuclear stockpile, and the "nukes" set off, the blast was actually survivable with "health crack" and armor (it was a large damage radius with a finite damage and not insta-kill). So I just fired a rocket in there, caused a mini-apocalypse that killed everyone but me (got me down to 50-something health though, starting from 125% and full armor), and walked in like a landlord to proceed with the mission with no more enemies for a while ;-)
And that, ladies and gentlemen, compares to the BFG 9000 in my book. What's more EXTREME than Postal Dude on crack setting a nuclear explosion right before his own face and then commenting "that's gonna be sore tomorrow".
