What aout the Pulse Rifle from Aliens ????? That’s got to be the #1 on the all-time list.

treefroggy, I left a comment regarding that very rifle (the M41A Pulse Rifle)

If no Vera, the list fails. Also, I don’t see Vash the Stampede’s revolver or the Cross-Punisher. And no laser staff from Stargate?
Sheesh.

While leaving out Vera is a damned bloody shame, leaving out the M-41A and Vasquez’s smart gun is criminal.

+1 and +2 for the M41-A and Jayne’s “Vera”

That’s why people should just do things-I-like-in-order lists not top 10 lists
My additions would be:
Mal’s pistol
Vera
M-41A
The smart gun from Aliens
The Peacekeeper’s Pulse Pistols from Farscape (obscure, but I thought they were pretty cool)

Decker’s gun from Blade Runner used to be my #1 choice too, but I can’t get over the fact that it’s a Steyr bolt action receiver, which can’t fire anything, that’s been glommed onto a Charter Bulldog.
A movie gun that uses the idea of some kind of shotgun/grenade launcher mounted on the pistol is a great idea, like the Le Mat, but I would like to see one that’s actually functional. Seems that a dual tube, aluminum extrusion could be the basis of a 12-gauge flare/grenade launcher that sits atop a Glock. The lower tube would wrap around the slide and attach to the accessory rail, with the integral launcher barrel on top. Like having a 12-gauge, flare pen on top of your Glock. Or put it on a Charter Bulldog for nostalgia’s sake. With a little Hollywood magic, it could be used to launch anything with a survivable blast radius.

The Zorg Corporation blasters from Fifth Element. Not only do they have the nonlethal net option, they have 3000 rounds that follow wherever the first aimed round is sent. Then there is the flamethrower and all the other oldie but goodie Zorg favorites, like the grenade launcher. Just don’t get curious about the little button on the base of the gun.
