Having a proper Geek conversation at work today…so list your top sci-fi hand held weapons with extra marks for google links to illustration.

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

What about hand weapons?

Can’t list all ten, but here’s my number one for starters:

Thread closed.

The gun in rollerball that did this…

Light saber

That Blakes 7 thing looks like you could get it in Anne Summers 😯

A phaser, Shirley?

What is wrong with you people?

Also, lightsaber, obviously. But failing that, Reason.

Light sabre.

Oh come on, be original. Lightsabers are all very well, but a trifle obvious.

If we’re into mainstream stuff, I like the Borg knuckle doohickey…

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!

Rouge 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 😮 [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEKLa373SIw[/video]
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 [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux4L3v9J_CI[/video]
just awesome fun 😀

oh and if we’re getting proper geeky, the harlequins kiss monofilament close combat weapon to liquidise an enemy in their armour or shuriken cannons used by eldar death jesters, in warhammer 40k

I would have gone for the Blake’s 7 but that’s taken so…

Logan’s run runner splatterer:

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

From one of my fave Sci-fi films, The Black Hole:

vera?
