PoopSpiderman,

I really like the Aperture Labs portal gun.

stoy,

It is a cool 50s design, round but sleek shapes

I’m noticing a distinct lack of BFG

stoy,

The BFG exists in several versions:

The original from Doom 1993 is just a rectantular box with a weird handle, the sides of the box is covered with techno pixelart, but nothing striking.

The Doom 64 version is very similar to the 1993 version.

The BFG in Doom 3 has a profile of a weird space potato: doom.fandom.com/wiki/BFG9000/Doom_3?file=BFG9000-…

The ingame model is more like a rectantular box, but with an updated case: doom.fandom.com/wiki/BFG9000/Doom_3?file=Bfg3

In Doom 2016 is has a better styling, with an actual grip, it now actually looks like a gun!

In Doom Eternal it looks great, if a bit generic, but not bad.

The BFG does exist in Quake II and Quake 3 Arena, but the design is just terrible.

So while I like your enthusiasm, I don’t share your oppinion on the design of the BFG series.

CADmonkey,

Two of my favorites are from books and don’t have pictures: the nanotech weapon given to grunts in “Old Man’s War” and the Soft Weapon from Niven’s short story titled, appropriately enough, “The Soft Weapon”. There was an animated Star Trek episode based on The Soft Weapon, but I can’t remember what I looked like, I just remember the producers weren’t brave enough to animate an alien with two heads and three legs.

Other than those, I really liked the silly guns in Ratchet and Clank, epecially the Vacuum Cannon.

I don’t even like the anime but the Dominator is now my favorite one.

SendMePhotos,

I’ll take the boring route. I respect the gun design of the N7 weapons. They look like futuristic versions of our current weapons but the paint design is on point.

TheMinions,

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Mass Effect.

Always been a big fan of all the shotguns. Specifically Geth Plasma Shotgun.

The Callahan Full-bore Autolock “Vera”

fitjazz,

Well, my days of not takin’ ya seriously are certainly comin’ to a middle.

traches,

It has extreme sentimental value

Grabthar,

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, the M56 Smartgun from Aliens is pretty awesome.

stoy,

The steadycam gun!

RizzRustbolt,

The GBE from Blame!

Its sleek and compact nature belies its supreme stopping power.

Which fits perfectly in line with Killy.

Gabu,

phasers

xylogx,

I particularly like the original phaser from the pilot episode The Cage but my favorite is the phaser rifle from Where No Man Has Gone Before.

Lots of great choices, but for me it’s gotta go to Outbreak Perfected from Destiny 2. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cb4dbbe8-2fc2-4c21-a69d-e3bec933ec8e.jpeg

NeoNachtwaechter,

Genius needs simplicity. But many of these suggestions here lack in that respect.

I like the Jedi Killer.

stoy,

The meme?

NeoNachtwaechter,

A meme was made out of it, yes.

ink,

I’m partial to the Judges’ guns, particularly from the Urban-led movie, as I’ve not delved much into the comics.

Also, I think this falls more into the fantasy category, but I love the chonkiness of Hellboy’s Samaritan.

Thorman1,

The zero G room gun from enders game looks pretty sick. I wasn’t that much of a fan of the movie compared to the books but the gun design was pretty good. Also does star lords gun from marvel count? That’s a pretty sick one too.

PrincessLeiasCat,

It’s simple but sleek - the WESTAR-34 blaster pistol that Jango Fett uses in SW Ep 2.

Also looking up the name made me realize that this website exists…seems like an IMDB wiki of movie weapons:

www.imfdb.org/…/Star_Wars:_The_Prequel_Trilogy

stoy, (edited )

The IMFDB entries for older shooters really show how many misstakes they made, look up Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Half Life, Half Life Opposing Force, Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam for some good articles

PrincessLeiasCat,

Thanks!
