Which weapon against which demon is the most fun?

So, which weapon is the most fun to use against a certain demon for you guys?

For example, for me, shotgun vs imp, rocket launcher vs caco, plasma rifle vs revenant, chaingun vs lost souls...

SSG on all of them.
_{cause its so satisfying}

The fully powered-up Unmaker (Doom 64), because HOLY SHIT that makes the BFG9000 look like a very weak weapon. :P

Other than that, the SSG, because it kills shit up close without the rocket launcher's splash damage.

Punching everything.

2-player chainsawing a baron from both sides. Baron approves.

Chaingun vs Pain Elemental or Chain gunner
SSG vs Mancubus or a group of zombies or imps
BFG vs a group of Hell's nobles
Rockets vs incoming pinky conga line
Single shotgun vs monsters that teleport in one by one
Pistol zombie sniping or hitscan-switch activating
Plasma gun hardcore spamming everything when the BFG is not available and you need to conserve shotgun ammo and rockets :D

The BOOM/clicking sound of the super shotgun combined with the mechanical death noises of the Arachnotron is one of the most orgasmic sound combinations of all time.

I should've used search function. My bad.

Telefragging is definitely the best, it deals 10 000 damage. It can also kill you easily on MAP30, though.

rocket launcher vs everything

Shotgun. Imp.

Don't sweat it, nobody seems to lately.

I love berserk fist vs. weak monsters

Pistol. Cyberdemon.

Killing several players in DM with one BFG shot is never not satisfying. Berserk punching weaker enemies also never gets old!

Rocket launcher against a group of pain elementals. Dangerous and fun.

BFG against everything.

Not the biggest fan of the weapons, especially that BFG. I'd say the plasma rifle would be pretty good if the projectiles weren't so big.

Ftfy ;D

Chaingun = Demons

SSG = Chaingunners and Revenants

BFG = Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind

When ammunition is of little concern, rocket launcher is the most fun against everything.

Shotgun. Imp.

Until that Imp chooses not to die from one shot a third of the time!

Chainsaw vs. cacodemon

Berserker fist. Imo, nothing quite compares to the feeling of punching something so hard it explodes.

SSG vs. Pinky because I love the satisfying sound of the SSG accompanied by the very satisfying sound of a Pinky hitting the floor.

killing the spider demon with one bfg shot is always great

That's because you use ZDOOM.

That's never happened to me. Although i use PrBoom+ most of the time, so that might be why?

It's possible in vanilla/PrBoom-plus too, although less likely and might require the spider to be in a specific position relative to the map's blockmap grid, so that you could "run into him" up to a closer distance than his radius would normally allow. In other words, you have to exploit the very same bug that normally makes him unlikely/impossible to be 1-shot-killed in vanilla, in order to 1-shot-kill him in vanilla.
