Moving down our list, at number 9 we have the Cerebral Bore from the Turok franchise. Just like the smart pistol, this weapon automatically targets the enemy's head, but instead of a clean headshot, it drills into an enemy's skull, extracting their brains and leaving a bloody mess in its wake. The Cerebral Bore is not only devastating in its effects, but its terrifying appearance and sound effects make it a weapon that players won't soon forget.
