I think the Scarab gun was my favorite Bungie mistake, but I don't think it was planted as an egg. The gun was used as a placeholder in Metropolis and Outskirts but it was not needed in The Great Journey. The stories I've read (speculation) was that Bungie had not perfected having the Scarab as a movable object and having the gun move with it when they made Met and OS. By the time they made GJ they had figured that out.
At that point they had run out of time and left the placeholder's in the game. I also believe the time factor was the reason so many barriers were left out.
So if Bungie had installed sufficient barriers we would not have seen the guns.
Anyway, egg or not, I liked the Scarab gun the most.
Edit: After more thought, two guns may have been an egg; they appear at the Scarab as it fires once. This happens on Metropolis and also inside the tunnel on OS.
