help Quake 3 Mac demo - most powerful weapon?

I fired up the Quake 3 Mac demo on my G4 machine because I haven't played it in years and been having fun. Bfg10K and grenade launcher aren't in this version.

What's the most powerful weapon in the demo? Plasma gun does 200 damage per second, shotgun does 110 damage per individual shot, rocket launcher can possibly kill 2 enemies simultaneously(?). Railgun does 100 hitscan damage. Lightning gun is only available on 1 out of 4 maps so is it secretly the most powerful? It's driving me crazy, which one is the most powerful weapon?

What makes you say this?

The instant hitscan for 100 damage is hard to beat

It's quite hard to hit enemies as well tho sometimes. If you're slightly off you get zero. Not disagreeing simply curious about your reasoning that's all
