How to Find Barret's Ultimate Weapon in "Final Fantasy 7"

The strongest weapons available for each of the main characters in the Playstation role-playing game Final Fantasy 7 are hidden in easy-to-miss locations that can only be uncovered under specific circumstances. The ultimate weapon for the gun-toting character named Barret can only be acquired if Barret is in your party when you storm the Shinra headquarters building in the city of Midgar near the end of the game.
