Obvious ones are the guns from Aliens, Judge Dredd Lawgiver, the ickle gun from MIB....more?

Light sabre
Flak Cannon from Unreal
Needle gun from Halo
and the BFG!
Does ED209 count from Robocop?
Rouge troopers rifle (which was embedded with the brain of his dead friend).
I always remember one in an early Judge Dredd story where they were at war against the soviet mega city. The soviets had these range finding weapons that could shoot through walls. Dredd realised that if he could run towards them fast enough then they could not change the range quickly enough....the result was obviously not good for Sergei and his comrades.
Didn't sam slade have a cool gun too?
[PS given the prominence of this forum on Google search rankings, I half expect my miscreant colleagues to find this....message: Back off these are my finds, go write some SQL or whatever you techs do on a wednesday evening 😉 ]

acme for the win!
MSP - MemberRouge troopers rifle (which was embedded with the brain of his dead friend).
He was blue, not red! Besides, they messed up with Gunnar slightly by calling him Gunnar. (and IIRC the helmet was Helm, and the bag was Mr GI Who Will Soon Be Dead And Turned Into A Bag) Friday's gun Eightball was cooler
Kanedas' laser rifle in Akira (with the motorbike of course)
Failing that, the Gun Carriage from "Against a dark background" or a decent knife missile 8)
Kinda sci-fi

Offside! What self respecting knife missile would allow itself to be handled by a big sack of meat? How about the pistol from A Gift From The Culture?
Moh Kohn's smartgun in The Star Fraction was very nearly excellent, but took a bit of a back seat too early in the story. Ah well.

Inoring the lightsaber, I do like the pistol carried by Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis. I don't think it's ever named but it's pretty cool. It's not really a weapon as such, but I would like a sonic screwdriver too.
apart from the lightsaber and aliens pulse rifle with flamethrower strapped on 😀
although it doesn't come from a film this is awesome (in a sick kind of way 😮
there was also a fantastic weapon from the first turok game (it looked like a long blue crystal and when you fired it,it set off a nuclear explosion that wiped out all enemies on screen (it was awesome 😀
edit here it is
just awesome fun 😀
Are there any hand launched nukes in the realms of Sci-Fi...I mean there must be!
APART from anything is star wars

The gun from Portal
The point of view gun from hg2tg
Blakes 7 vibrator thing
Lawgiver
Robocop's gun
EDIT knife missiles from banks
Samuel Colt's gun in Supernatural.

Well on the WH40K front I was always partial to the space marines chainsaw weapon, though the orks were always more satisfying to paint.
