    And yet the PKD Gun from Blade runner didn't make the list?

    How odd.

    Philip Pullman's Subtle Knife?

    Rover, that half-inflated balloon thing from The Prisoner?

    The Noisy Cricket (Men in Black)?

    Well, that about does it for any remaining shreds of my online credibility. I will leave now.

    How about the ZF.1 from the 5th element?
    Hactars hyperspatial supernova bomb?
    The Krikkit robots multi-function battle clubs?

    Nice list, poor ranking. Seems like they gave everyone something and thus missed a lot. Target seeking gun? Hitlers gun?

    Doctor Who: DMAT gun would have been cool imo

    It's a thin line between an awesome weapon and a cheap, deus ex machina style plot device.

    For shear numbers of cool fictional weapons you can't beat the James Bond movies. See a complete list of weapons and gadgets here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_gadget

    What the hell is a power sword? He-Mans weapon was called the sword of Omens. Power Sword? Dumb ass.

    He has a powerful weapon
    He charges a million a shot
    An assassin that's second to none
    The man with the golden gun
