Fictional Weapons - Neatorama

When it’s completely made up, your weapon can do anything. Wizard Universe counts down the 50 greatest fictional weapons of all time. Surprisingly, the light saber ranked at only #4. http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/006398688.cfm (via Metafilter)

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

How odd.

Wolverine's claws?

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.
