I now present... the Pesticide Gun

D3Publisher's new game Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon will see players take on the role of a team of giant bug exterminators the world's most elite soldiers and engage in a battle to rid New Detroit of a swarm of invading insects. The game will feature over 150 weapons; the latest new addition to this arsenal is the Pesticide Gun.

These guns do a "massive amount" of damage and have a large damage radius, but they are Tier 8 weapons; this means that you have to do a massive amount of annihilation before you can earn them. Unfortunately, they are also a one-shot reload. The game features four upgradeable armour sets, and each of these armour sets has one type of Pesticide Gun allocated to it:

• Pesticide Cannon – Goes with the Trooper Armor
• Pesticide Mortar – Goes with the Battle Armor
• Pesticide Missile – Goes with the Tactical Armor
• Pesticide Rifle – Goes with the Jet Armor
This trailer demonstrates the benefits of pesticide. To be honest, with this amount of damage, who cares that it's only a one-shot reload!

Just in case that wasn't enough evidence, D3Publisher have also released some screenshots to reinforce the effectiveness of pesticide:

The first game was really fun. For an hour.
Hopefully this one has more staying power.

It's not everyone's cup of tea but it really does shine through on co-op!

I keep going back to it and chipping away at it. I could shoot those rigor mortis ants and spiders all day.

You can't say it's not fun shooting a rock hard dead ant into orbit with a machine gun.

edit -

How could I forget, you can destroy any building with a single rocket or grenade, it's hilarious watching the tallest building fall victim to the weakest rocket.

Maybe the trailer means that there are over 300 different weapon iterations. I'm guessing that the pesticide gun only counts as one weapon in the 150 total, but there are four different iterations of it, one for each armour set. I may be wrong with this assumption though...
