What are the best movie weapons?

Started by Efreet69 1 year ago Add a comment

Name some of the best or iconoclastic movie weapons. Doesn't necessarily have to be from a sci-fi movie, although I expect that is from where most people will get their answers.

1.	Lightsaber Hardly a more memorable movie weapon than this classic Jedi sword from the Star Wars movies. The perfect melding of feudal past and technological future. Add a comment	Vote! 26 votes 502 pts

[show more] The BFG9000, or "Bio Force Gun" (which is humorously referred to as "Big Fucking Gun" by Sarge), is the most destructive hand-held weapon used in the movie. The projectile consists of a superheated ball of plasma, melting anything in the blast radius. The plasma can burn through several metres of solid rock and will continue to slowly burn away at the target for several seconds. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 7 votes 130 pts

[show more] The Armat M41A is a fictional weapon, a 10 mm pulse-action air-cooled automatic assault rifle, which is the basic rifle of the U.S. Colonial Marine Corps and the U.S. Army in the Alien series of films. The standard service variant has an over-and-under configuration incorporating a PN 30 mm pump-action grenade launcher. Since the release of Aliens in 1986, the M41A has become one of the best-known and most popular science-fiction weapons in cinema history. The M41A also makes a brief appearance at the end of Alien, carried by the company soldiers, but the prop weapons originally used in Aliens were re-painted black for that film.
