Upon being fired, it will make a computerized whirring sound increasing in pitch until the projectile is shot out.

Doom 64 includes a slightly revamped version of the BFG.

However, due to the Pseudorandom number generator of Doom, this never happens in real gameplay, and the damage is limited to 49-87. This makes the total damage varies from 16 to 128 (due to the ' bell curve' phenomenon, the value is weighted towards the middle of the range). To determine the damage of a BFG tracer, a random number between 1 and 8 is generated and repeated 16 times.The safety mechanism was likely implemented to prevent the player from wasting 40 cells by accident. When selected while the fire key is still pressed, the BFG will not begin firing immediately like other weapons, but only when fire key is released and pressed again. The BFG9000 has a 'safety catch' similar to the rocket launcher.As a result, it does not seem possible for the player to have/use the weapon in this port and get the real ending.

However, if this code is used, the game will not end properly it will cut to a DOS screen rather than the game's real ending. The BFG does not appear by itself in the 32X port of Doom and only appears by means of a cheat code.

The projectile's damage output is also higher than its PC counterpart. The shocking effects of the subsequent field of damage to other targets after the projectile detonates is not present (instead of the original tracer rays effect, it appears to use a radius-based damage effect), and any targets within range of the explosion will either simply fall over dead or suffer damage. The SNES port of Doom's BFG suffers from a scaled-down projectile, possibly due to memory constraints it appears, instead, as a Baron's plasma ball, using the same firing sound effect and bursting sound when it hits an enemy or wall.That same entry unveils the meaning of the BFG initials.

In the Doom Bible, the section on weapons (14) describes the BFG 2704 as a highly destructive weapon which would damage the wielder a bit, pushing him back.

However, it is possible that this was meant to be based on the original concept of the BFG, which similarly fired a stream of multicolored plasma projectiles, as mentioned above.

The comic book adaptation of Doom appears to depict the BFG 9000 as a heavy machine gun instead of a plasma weapon, since it fires a stream of small projectiles that resemble bullets instead of an expanding energy blast.

A source port of the game, MBF, features a working reenactment of the early-version BFG seen in the beta. According to John Romero, the idea of the weapon firing the green and red plasma projectiles was scrapped because it 'looked like Christmas'. That was changed to the final, possibly more powerful version because the former could greatly slow the game down from the number of projectile sprites on screen.

An early version of the BFG9000, known as the ' BFG 2704' in the Doom Bible, was originally capable of firing a deadly, rapid-fire spray of green and red plasma projectiles that can bounce off of ceilings and floors (spending 40 cells per shot), as if it were 'a Plasma gun that had gotten on steroids'.

As with the rocket launcher and chaingun, the full BFG sprite (after pickup) is slightly too large for the screen, and can only be viewed with a level or resource editor the lower edge of the sprite includes a BFG logo.

Flat images of parts of the same toy were used for some of the Tekwall textures.

The original BFG was digitized from a RoarGun, a battery operated toy gun manufactured by Creatoy.
