It makes your weapons more powerful and changes the way some of them act.
For example the stake gun's grenade attack also turns some enemies on fire. And stakes aren't affected by gravity and fly directly into the enemy.

The Painkiller itself also fires the laser over a much broader angle. Normally you right-click to fire the blades and then aim at where the blades strike to start the laser. If you move out of that 'line of sight' the laser will stop, with the weapon modifier you can move away from the 'line of sight' and the laser will still fire.
It has many effects on your weapons. Get close with the shotgun and you can really lift your enemies off their feet. Ahh, it's savage... don't you love it!

...official name, but it is a weapon mod as described.
Driver's shuriken's explode on contact, more concentrated shotgun blast, rockets fire more quickly, as well as the aforementioned tweaks.
Oh, and besides stakes firing straight without dropping, they ignite immediately.

Ok, because this seems to be asked from time to time, I decided to compile a list of changes caused by the "head that glows read" (I like that :D).
Enemies shot at with the secondard mode of the shotgun will be frozen double the time.
The scattering of the shotgun will be four times lower and the firing range 50% higher.
Bolts shot with the boltgun are 20 percent faster and make 50 percent more damage.
Heaterbombs explode earlier (at first collision).
Stakes almost instantly start to burn and fly 60% faster and straight.
Grenades start a burning gas area after explosion.
The flames of the flamethrower are 25% bigger.
There's no pausing when firing the machine gun (continuous shooting, no bursts).
The electro weapon (shaft) finds nearby enemies and electrocutes them just as if you made the electro combo and shuriken explode after hitting an object.
The Painkiller laser works all the time, you don't need to point directly at the tip.
The spinning blades of the Painkiller make twice the damage.
Rockets are 50% faster.
Minigun makes 50% more damage and produces 50% more kickback on a hit enemy.
Besides that, most weapons are brushed up with additional graphic effects.

It also freshens your breath, gives you winning lottery numbers, and Eve finds you D*MN sexy...and then it wears off.
...sorry, couldn't help it... :D ....
