In video games, BFG denotes the Big F***ing Gun, a fictional weapon from the Doom series. The BFG9000, introduced in Doom II, is prized for its high damage and splash effects. The weapon's name is often rendered as Big F***ing Gun, though alternate forms such as Big Friggin’ Gun or Big Friendly Gun appear in various releases and fan communities. The BFG has become one of gaming's most iconic weapons and is frequently referenced in popular culture.
