Ten of the Baddest Fictional Movie Weapons

Published by Madison at 9:00 am under Lists, Movies

darthmaul.jpg

Movies often provide us with the chance to escape reality for a couple of hours, so in a violent movie, normal, regular weapons won’t always do.  To take on imaginary armies and beasts, you’re going to need imaginary weapons.  Fictional movie weapons may be alien in origin or just plain overpowering, but for whatever the reason, they tend to be pretty bad ass.  I didn’t include some very famous movie weapons in this article - such as Indy’s whip or Ash’s chainsaw - for the very simple reason that whips are chainsaws aren’t fictional.  For the purposes of this article, I’m talking about weapons that don’t exist in the first place.  Which is unfortunate - I’d do anything to walk down the street with Predator’s wrist blades.  Here are, in no particular order, ten of the baddest fictional movie weapons:

The Big Baby - Hellboy II: The Golden Army

hellboy1.jpg

Hellboy’s Big Baby is a six-barreled monstrosity that fires off small rockets.  The powerful, heavy gun packs a ton of punch and causes serious damage on its targets.  You do not want to wake the Baby.

Lightsaber - Star Wars Movies

0109_00502_lightsaber.jpg

The lightsaber is one of the most famous fictional weapons of all time.  They come in a variety of colors and styles, but every lightsaber is in and of itself an incredibly powerful weapon.  Lightsabers can cut through just about anything, can block lasers, and make some of the coolest sounds you’ll ever hear.  If I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these bad boys, I’d be constantly turning it on and off, just for that sweet, energetic hum.

Ol’ Painless - Predator

predator3.jpg

Cumbersome?  Yes.  Impractical?  Definitely.  Totally devestating?  Absolutely.  Blaine’s ridiculous minigun in Predator sprays lead at an insurmountable rate, mowing down adversaries by the dozens.  Miniguns aren’t fictional, but Ol’ Painless definitely is: the gun, which is normally mounted on the side of a helicoptor, had to undergo numerous modifications to transform it into a personal killing machine.

Smart Disc - Predator 2

disc.jpg

It’s tough to pick just one weapon from the Predator’s impressive arsenal, but the smart disc is perhaps the most lethal.  The bladed disc can easily cut through layers of meat and bone, and conveniently returns to its owner after being hurled at an enemy.  The disc doesn’t have to be thrown, though - it can serve as a very effective weapon for close range combat as well.  In summary: I want one.

The Glaive - Krull

krullglave.jpg

In Krull, Prince Colwyn must locate the ancient, magical weapon known at the Glaive.  He uses the Glaive, a sort of five-pointed bladed boomerang, to destory the Beast.  The Glaive’s range is impressive, and its spinning blades can easily eviscerate the largest of foes.

Cobra Assault Cannon - Robocop

cobra.jpg

The Cobra Assault Cannon is a high-powered gun that you really only need to fire once.  The Cobra can destroy a car and even an ED-209 with just one shot, making it one of the most powerful personal firearms around.  It’s like having your very own missle launcher.

The Crotch Gun - From Dusk Till Dawn

savini.jpg

As seen in From Dusk Till Dawn and briefly in Desperado, no words can adequately describe the awesomeness that is the Crotch Gun.  Quite simply, it’s the Best. Weapon. Ever.  One must feel like such a man after firing this weapon.

Proton Pack - Ghostbusters

ghostbusters.jpg

Also known as a positron collider, the proton pack is the weapon of choice for the Ghostbusters.  Designed by Dr. Egon Spengler, the proton pack is used to incapacitate ghosts, holding them in place long enough to be captured by a ghost trap.  Wielding these powerful weapons is risky, as the last thing you want to do is cross the streams: “Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.”

Phaser - Star Trek Movies

5-star-trek-phaser.jpg

The phaser is to Star Trek what the lightsaber is to Star Wars.  They come in a variety of sizes, but we’re most used to seeing the handheld version, as seen above.  The phaser, a directed-energy weapon, can be set to two settings: stun and kill.  Seems simple enough.  Now where can I get one?

Wolverine’s Claws - X-Men Movies

xmen3_23.jpg

Wolverine’s healing factor made him the prime candidate for a procedure that involved grafting adamantium to his skeleton and implanting retractable adamantium claws.  Capable of cutting through anything, Wolvie’s claws can make mincemeat out of an enemy in just a matter of seconds.  Snikt!

    deathstar?

  2. Beanflickon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:20 pm

    Waaaah! good list, but where’s the Aliens smartgun (”let’s rock!!!”)?

  3. Davidon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:25 pm

    God, I know I will sound like a huge dork, but Wolvernine was born with retractable bone claws. The experiment that covered his skeleton in Adamantium, also covered his claws.

  4. HumanJHawkinson 15 Dec 2008 at 5:28 pm

    Um… What about the Genesis Device? Or the Death Star?

    This list is missing a representative from the planet-destroying-weapon category.

  5. Not a nerdon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:30 pm

    Wolverine’s claws weren’t implanted. He had claws made of bone prior to the adamantium grafting. Wolverine and the military scientists discovered the claws existed only after the grafting.

  6. awdon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:33 pm

    No rail gun from Eraser?

  7. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:35 pm

    I left the Death Star off intentionally. Sure, it’s bad ass, but I didn’t want to have more than one weapon from the same movie (or series). The Death Star is great, but lightsabers are iconic.

    As far as Wolverine’s claws go, I was using the X-Men movies’ version of his origin and not the comic book origin. I am well aware of his comic book origin. Thanks anyway - I don’t like to mix my mediums.

    Thanks for reading.

  8. Ffreydon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:36 pm

    What about the railgun from Eraser? :)

  9. Fire Impon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:41 pm

    I’m sorry this article is just a plug for the new wolverine movie. A weapon is not a physically characteristic. Which is the category that claws fall under. Can wolverine be disarmed?

    Also this list is just half-assed no really investigation done. Lightsabres twice?? Where is the Brotherhood of the Wolf Bone Sword???? I mean it’s a bone sword/grappling hook/chain thing. Hell give me a supermario brothers deevolution gun, or ZF.1 all-in-one Zorg special from 5th Element. Or the NOISY cricket(phaser please).

    Try harder and don’t be a tool.

  10. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:42 pm

    @ awd, Ffreyd

    Yeah, the Railgun should have probably been on this list. Good call, guys. I haven’t seen The Eraser in years.

  11. JonPhillipson 15 Dec 2008 at 5:42 pm

    No love for Zorg’s ZF-1?

  12. Drafteron 15 Dec 2008 at 5:43 pm

    what about the weapon in “Fifth Element”??? that thing was badass, it had everything….even a net launcher…..list=fail

  13. Qixon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:46 pm

    Good list. Wish my favorite made it there. The ZF-1 from Fifth Element.

  14. Asherpon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:49 pm

    Zorg’s ZF-1 should have at least been considered an honorable mention.

  15. lizermanon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:57 pm

    What about the gun the bad guy carries in the 5th Element? With rockets and nets and all that stuff?

  16. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 5:59 pm

    @Fire Imp

    A plug for the new Wolverine movie? Really? How in the world would plugging the movie benefit me? Get a friggin clue, dude.

    And lightsabers twice? No, just once. Or did you comment without reading the article?

    Wow.

  17. Infinityon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:00 pm

    The almighty BFG from Doom. Although it’s not that powerful in the movie.

  18. Jasonon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:00 pm

    Remember…

    The Master of the Flying Guillotine had… a flying guillotine!

    Definately awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:01 pm

    @ JonPhillips, Drafter, Qix, Asherp

    The list isn’t all inclusive (it’s not “Top Ten,” just ten of the baddest), but yeah, I probably should have included the ZF-1. Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for reading.

  20. Atarijedion 15 Dec 2008 at 6:04 pm

    What about the sonic shotguns from Minority Report!

  21. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:06 pm

    @ Atarijedi

    I actually thought about the sonic shotguns, but they just stun a target, right? The sonic blast does look pretty sweet, though.

  22. Richon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:11 pm

    How could you not include the weapon from The Fifth Element that J.E.B. Zorg sells to the Mangalors? Flame thrower/ Frost blast/ Poison darts/ missiles/ homing machine gun/ net gun/ self destruct… simply unbeatable :D

  23. Honour Chickon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:12 pm

    awesome weapons :)

  24. Richon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:13 pm

    In the time it took me to read this article and post about the ZF-1, 4 other people already beat me to it. Sry for the redundancy :)

  25. Stuon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:16 pm

    Luther’s heat seeking bullet gun from Runaway, the Tom Selleck movie, is one of the coolest pistols ever.

    You should have nixed Blaine’s minigun, because, although cool, we’ve seen it in other movies like T2.

    I would have gone with the Predator shoulder cannon as well, that shit is way cooler than the boomerang….and hellboy’s big baby for that matter…the list could have been better, now that I think about it.

  27. Chris Tayloron 15 Dec 2008 at 6:19 pm

    There are a few other cool weapons that should be on “some” list for wickedness.

    Guided bullets from various movies are always good :-)

    Hey that multi stage long range rocket bullet from this years wanted was pretty bad ass too.

    ALSO one of THE most bad ass weapons.

    the “laser rings” from Johnny Neumonic. Thats just wicked badass the way those work :-)

  28. Goldpenguinon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:29 pm

    I think Jane Cobb’s Callahan Fullbore Autolock “Vera” from Firefly/Serenity should have made the cut. sure, it’s not as powerful as the death star….

  29. BenEnglishon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:40 pm

    I thought the Cobra Assault Cannon was just a dressed-up Barrett, an early version of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82

  30. Scotton 15 Dec 2008 at 6:46 pm

    You put to weapons from the Preditor series…?

    I think the blasters from Alien are better.

    Good list though.

    I can’t believe that Stu remembered that heat seeking bullet gun, man, thats an old movie.

  31. Ezraon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:49 pm

    What about the lawgiver from Judge Dredd?

    There are some good ones, but there are some in here that shouldn’t be there.

  32. x34460on 15 Dec 2008 at 6:51 pm

    marines assault rifle from Aliens

  33. niioon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:51 pm

    The best weapon is the one you only have to fire once. That’s how dad did it, that’s how America does it… for your consideration, the Jericho.

  34. DNAon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:51 pm

    What about Iron Man’s suit or that crazy floating ball death in Phantasm?

  35. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 6:59 pm

    @ Stu

    Wow, I thought I was one of the few who saw Runaway. Great call.

    @ Scott

    Hmmm, it seems I did. Whoops. I’m a huge, huge Predator fan. At least it wasn’t two Predator-specific weapons, I guess.

    @ BenEnglish

    1. Yeah, as a prop. But as a weapon in the movie, it’s way more than an upgraded Barrett.

    2. Isn’t Ben English a porn star? If not - sorry!

  36. BrianGMon 15 Dec 2008 at 7:00 pm

  41. digginestdoggon 15 Dec 2008 at 8:16 pm

    What about the BFG from Doom? Clearly more badass than a close-range light saber. You are clearly an amateur at weapons rating.

  42. Madisonon 15 Dec 2008 at 8:18 pm

    @ digginestdogg

    Clearly. Hopefully someday, with the right schooling and hard work, I can be a professional weapons rater like you.

    Thanks for reading.

  45. ShawnMcNon 15 Dec 2008 at 10:13 pm

    Wolverine *can* be disarmed. Not via conventional means, but:

    - Magneto can rip out or push in as necessary…
    - I’m not sure how ACTUALLY magnetic adamantium is, but a standard magnet could have some effect
    - Anything that can affect adamantium (which I know is very FEW things, but still) could affect it…

  46. Witt Sullivanon 15 Dec 2008 at 10:29 pm

    Yeah, the Cobra Assault Cannon in RoboCop was a dressed up Barrett, it even had a Cobra laser sight built on to it. That was the big bulky square thing on top. Laser sights used to be huge and expensive 20-odd years ago..they now make a barrel kit so a sniper can carry an extra 25mm barrel to swap out the “wimpy” .50 BMG barrel. One of the options for the 25mm is High Explosive shells to extend it’s range. .50 bullets lose their kinetic energy, the HE shells give them a bit more punch, making the Cobra AC a reality..(http://gizmodo.com/archives/barrets-xm109-nohassle-25mm-sniper-rifle-019817.php)

    The Big Baby didn’t exactly fire missiles, it shot really slow, really heavy explosive shells. In fact, if you look closely, you can see 4 Gauge written on the headstamp on the rear of the shells when he’s loading her up..4 Gauge (aka 4-Bore) guns exist. They shoot a 2000 grain bullet (that’s a bit more than twice the weight of the typical 600-800 grain .50 BMG bullet). The bullet’s going about 1500 feet per second..So far they only have single and double barrel rifles that look like huge shotguns(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7lhTqWOS5Y), but a German company made a .600 Nitro Express revolver for the heck of it..(1500 grains, 2000 fps from a double rifle). Thompson center makes a .60 Nitro barrel for it’s single barrel Encore Pistol, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, the recoil will rip it from your hands. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yzI0AIpUUA)Give them time, there will be an X-Bore handgun..but you would have to be a part-demon to shoot it.

    I read an article in a gun magazine that showed some rednecks shooting a 5.56 minigun from the hip, but they were some really big guys and they didn’t have a backpack rig like the movie gun. They also used a rheostat to slowly ramp up the firing rate. Ole Painless was portrayed to fire 7.62, but it was really shooting 5.56 blanks, but the barrels were bored out to look like 7.62. It’s also the same exact minigun they used in The Matrix when Neo was rescuing Morpheus, they just installed the proper 7.62 barrels back on it. It’s extremely dangerous to try to shoot a gun like that from the hip, the torque from the barrels spinning want to move you around in circles. A pre-teen girl was killed at the Knob Creek machine gun shoot in KY when the minigun she was shooting came loose from it’s mount and fell on her.

  47. Witt Sullivanon 15 Dec 2008 at 10:40 pm

    One more jot…DARPA just approved research for a radio guided .50 BMG bullet to negate the effects of gravity, wind, and whatever else. It works just like a TOW missile, the sniper watches the target through his scope as the bullet heads that way. A ballistic computer in the scope figures out the windage and gravity and stuff so it steers on to target. Give them another ten years and they’ll be fire and forget like the bullets on Runaway.

  48. quatoon 15 Dec 2008 at 11:29 pm

    The crotch gun sounds cool in theory but imagine putting say a 45 against your balls and firing it. 1 shot would put you and your foe down for the count.

  49. mellomutton 16 Dec 2008 at 6:37 am

    i’m not trying to correct or disparage the list. it’s a good one. but i thought i’d offer these from Dune:

    The gom jabbar: the poison-tipped needle used by the Bene Gesserit.

    The hunter-seeker: “no more than five centimeters long…a common assassination weapon that every child of royal blood learned about at an early age. It was a ravening sliver of metal guided by some near-by hand and eye. It could burrow into moving flesh and chew its way up nerve channels to the nearest vital organ.”

    Since they both appeared in the movie(s), they qualify as contenders.

    And kudos to the commenters: The heat-signature tracking bullet from Runaway. I’d forgotten how awesome I thought that was at the time. And of course the Fifth Element gun.

    I don’t know if it falls into the category of weapon, but the bomb collars from Running Man. Also, the lightning-bolt-generating suit worn by Dynamo.

  50. Con1on 16 Dec 2008 at 7:34 am

    How could you have left The Sentinel Sphere from Phantasm out of the list. Its a weapon and insanely Lethal.

  51. TheFrogon 16 Dec 2008 at 9:33 am

    to: Chris Taylor
    the johny mnemonic ones are not laser rings, its monomolecular fiber they use. its cuts through almost everything. as the fiber is constructed only with one molecule chain bound together.

    Not a bad list, but the one I would have liked to have seen was the fully automatic pneumatic powered crossbow from Van Helsing. That weapon is absitively posilutely an essential if you need to skewer hoards of vampires in one go. I’m sure it would be fairly effective on other soft tissued organisms as well.

    Overall, a very entertaining read!

  60. NHDragonon 13 Jan 2009 at 6:48 am

    great list as well as additions. I have an addition. Ra’s hand brain fryer from Stargate. Those staves the ”gods” had were cool too. No not the series, the original movie with Kurt Russell.

  61. Scanainon 26 Feb 2009 at 12:25 pm

    - Rocket / Flame / Mini Gun suitcases from El Mariachi Series

    - Small adjustable hand held crossbow from Punisher Warzone

    Look like you could make a 100 fictional weapons list with all the comment you got. I would add from Dune the Crysknife. From Star Trek First Contact the assimilation tubes that The Borg use. The knife Glove from A Nightmare on Elm Street. The Shakram from Xena. Frodo Sting and Gandalf Glamdring swords from LOTR. The Bride Hanzo sword from kill bill. Metal Gear Rex and Foxdie from Metal Gear Solid….. Now that a list!

  71. heisdeadjimon 15 Apr 2009 at 7:51 am

    Gotta mention Ramirez’ then Macleod’s Samurai katana from “Highlander”.

    According to Highlander canon :) the “sword is a katana he (Ramirez) received in Japan in 593 B.C., made by his (then) father-in-law Masamune. Masamune, a genius far ahead of his time in the forging of swords, was the father of Princess Shakiko, Ramírez’s third wife.”

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander_(film)

    According to the movie, Ramirez’ sword wasn’t supposed to exist as it was made using methods yet to be used at the time.

    Technically, then, it’s a fictional sword :)

  72. Syntaxon 15 Apr 2009 at 9:33 am

    Wolverine’s claws in the movie were never confirmed nor denied to have been there since birth. Trying to save face by saying you knew about the comic but you were talking about the movie doesn’t make sense if they never mentioned if he was born with them or not. The simple fact that the movie universe is being expanded with Origins is going to probrably include the fact that he already had them…..

    ANYWAYS, Eraser’s Railguns for sure.

    The Pulse Rifle from aliens would’ve been nice to see.

    The Mini-Nukes from StarShip Troopers.

    Definitely agree with the gun from 5th Element

    The Sniper rifles from Wanted (super long range)

    The Glaive? THE GLAIVE? That’s one of the worst concepts for a weapon EVER! Throwing it without getting yourself cut would be challenging enough, but grabbing it on its way back without having fingers chopped off would be impossible!
    Update the list with the ZF.1 all-in-one Zorg thing in the glaive’s place, please. Homing machine gun? Being able to shoot your enemies from behind a frigging wall? Now THAT’S a weapon.

    Qoute= “for the very simple reason that whips are chainsaws”

    I highly disagree.

    you have clearly missed out the most devestating weapon created, and capable of destroying everything in an instant.

    @ John

    Cute, but did you see the title of this article? Is your genitalia fictional? Hmmmm….

  79. Lee451on 19 Jun 2009 at 4:14 pm

    The Phasers used in Star Trek (from TOS on) did not have just “two settings”. The orginal models (from TOS, not the Original Pilot) had dial calibration and settings the went from light stun to heavy stun to kill to vaporize. They could also be used to thermally irradiate objects (such as rocks) so those objects could be used as a heat source. The phasers used on TNG, DS9 and Voyager had push-button calibration with a similar range of power.

    I actually have a friend with a replica Glaive it is an atrocious weapon and the only appeal is that it looks cool, and my other complaint is that you left the Orgazmorater off the list, how is that not the most badass fictional weapon in history not only does it debilitate you’re enemies but it also relieves wrist pain

  82. killfaceon 29 Jun 2009 at 7:00 pm

    Even though it’s not from any silly movies, you should not have left off my Anhilatrix!

  83. guydudeon 24 Jul 2009 at 11:33 pm

    how bout the x-ray railgun from eraser

  84. Megon 28 Jul 2009 at 10:16 pm

    I gotta say, I’ve become addicted to this site. I’ve read through tons of old lists and have been in movie geek heaven. Only thing I can add to this list, is the spheres from Phantasm. Those things were awesome. And that movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

  85. Madisonon 28 Jul 2009 at 10:50 pm

    @ Meg

    I’m glad you have been enjoying the site. And yeah, the Phantasm spheres are pretty nasty; there’s really no escaping them. Nice call.

    Thanks for reading.

  86. Ron 06 Aug 2009 at 9:04 am

    will everyone stop going on about the fucking gun from the fifth element, yes it’s badass but i think we’ve established it should have been included, stop whining everyone

  87. Ron 06 Aug 2009 at 9:05 am

    oh and by the way carol, get a life please, we”re all movie fans but that’s just sad

  88. Cranboon 17 Aug 2009 at 12:02 pm

    teh “noisy cricket” from M.I.B.

  89. Madisonon 17 Aug 2009 at 3:29 pm

    @ Cranbo

    Pretty much the entire MIB arsenal would work, but yeah, the Noisy Cricket is the most memorable. Nice call.

    Tissue Compression Eliminator

    The Master’s weapon of choice, it shrinks people to doll size, killing them in the process. He no longer used it by the time of Survival. The weapon was also used by the Doctor to shrink the alien mechanoid Death’s Head in his Marvel Comics adventures. This was parodied in the Radio 4 comedy series Nebulous, in which the arch-enemy of Professor Nebulous, Doctor Klench, miniaturises his foes, but unlike the Master’s victims, they are not dead and Klench carries them around with him.

    Actually, isn’t O’l Painless a XM214 Microgun, which is a man portable variant of the Gau 2/A i believe, it was never mass produced though.

  92. Svenon 24 Aug 2009 at 9:33 am

    And where’s Doom’s BFG?
    http://blogofwishes.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/doom-bfg2.jpg

    Anyway, here’s the database for guns in movies if that is your cup of tea : http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Category:Movie

  93. Madisonon 24 Aug 2009 at 10:33 am

    @ Sven

    I’m not sure exactly what Ol Painless is, but it’s got a lot of mods and doesn’t exist in that state in real life.

    And thanks for that database…would have made this article much easier to do had I known about it!

    Thanks for reading.

  94. GuyBon 31 Aug 2009 at 1:15 pm

    What? No Sawblade YoYo from Octopussy?!?!

  95. Dreadknighton 02 Sep 2009 at 4:08 pm

    How about Violet’s transdimensional zero-point energy bullets that she loads out of her sleeve into her pistols in the movie Ultraviolet. They are probably just typical futuristic electric-ignition cartridges, but they are stored transdimmensionally to relieve space and weight restrictions from the carrier.

  96. Madisonon 02 Sep 2009 at 4:22 pm

    @ Dreadknight

    You know what I thought was cooler, and it’s from the same movie? Her “gravity belt,” which shifts the direction that gravity pulls. Although, I guess that’s more of a device than a weapon…

  97. Indyon 08 Oct 2009 at 3:09 am

    In case no one has mentioned, the Minigun is a real gun, thus it should not be on the list.

  98. yuravj singhon 13 Oct 2009 at 7:29 am

    how bout men it black weapons

  99. Fred Sanfordon 13 Oct 2009 at 5:58 pm

    You forgot one of the most delicate, most powerful yet also the most in-accurate weapons in movie history. The sleek and sexy flame pistol that the Sandmen carry to terminate Runners in Logan’s Run. Bowdown.

  100. willon 16 Oct 2009 at 11:43 am

    all the wepons from skynet in terminator 4 salvation

    with skynet in charge there is none

  101. Madisonon 16 Oct 2009 at 4:18 pm

    @ will

    I wrote this list before that movie came out, but I don’t know that I’d include anything from it anyway. I am still trying to forget it ever happened.

  102. Mykalon 22 Oct 2009 at 12:23 am

    I don t think anyone here has ever actually seen somone hit with a Barrett 50 cal rifle Smokin aces and miami vice dont count though they come pretty close

  103. daveon 22 Oct 2009 at 1:19 pm

    I can beat them all.
    How about the 20 mile square machine from Forbidden Planet?
    Is was not real and it was a weapon in every sense in that it was used by the unhealthy brain of a human.
    Therefore it was solely used as a weapon. The most powerful in all scifi.
    It would blow away any bad guy from any genere you care to think about.
    Nothing was as powerful, NOTHING! Hands down the BADEST.
    Cannot be controled, that makes it even badder!
    Beat that one, I dare you to try!

  104. boinkon 22 Oct 2009 at 1:24 pm

    Where is my post bitch!

  105. Madisonon 22 Oct 2009 at 1:30 pm

    @ dave

    Your suggestion would have been fine without the proof. Thanks for reading.

    @ boink

    Uh, right there?

  106. Gangster72on 23 Oct 2009 at 8:36 am

    Instead, I added my name to the list that’s my way of putting that energy into the universe. ,

  107. Timon 30 Oct 2009 at 1:39 pm

    The guitar cases from Desperado and OUATIM definately would be a good add. Rockets? Machine Guns? Flame-Throwers? I’m in!

    Also have to add that some have mentioned.
    - Chainsaw Arm
    - Freddy Krueger’s Glove
    - Optimus Prime’s Sword arm
    - Jericho missle from Ironman movie
    - Capt America’s Shield and Thor’s hammer could probably be added once the movies come out (provided they don’t blow)

    Can we add Doctor Who’s sonic screwdriver to the LEAST devastating and impressive list? Not sure if we can consider that from a movie.

  108. […] Badasses often come with some badass weapons. Lightsabers, photon pistols, etc. You know you’ve seen some pretty awesome weapons in either movies or shows. Here’s ten of the sweetest weapons ever imagined. (Unrealitymag) […]
