The other is the Freezethrower, which turns enemies to ice, letting you smash them with a single bullet or kick. The first weapon is the shrink ray, which lets you shrink enemies, and then step on them to finish them off. Both of them work on a similar principle, temporarily making the enemy vulnerable allowing you to finish them off with a single attack. Most of the weapons in the game are pretty standard for an FPS at the time, but a couple of them stand out.

And of course you can carry all the weapons in the game at the same time, rather than being limited to two at a time. And by the end of the game you have a rapid fire rocket launcher that kills everything really quickly. But in older FPSs it's more of a linear progression. Today we often consider weapons in FPSs to be appropriate in different situations, some are good in long range others in close range, and so on. But even that measure should rarely be necessary with all the health that is available in this game. If you get dangerously low on health you can resort to save-scumming for a while, and after clearing out a few rooms you should find plenty of health. Really clever players can find many secret areas, which often contain health in them. The lack of regenerating health was never really a huge issue as there is a lot of health scattered around the levels.
