Design your own Sci Fi weapon.

[danedane]

If you could desgin any sci fi weapon what would it be?

Mine would be a a long billy culb like thing that straps to your arm and can spray sleeping gas.

[brsrkrkomdy]

For me, it would be a handgun that is compact, lightweight, and packs a wallop. That is a laser blaster that could punch holes through any metal. And you don't have to worry about reloading bullets. Of course, you'd have to change batteries.

I'd pretty much have the Combistick that Predator uses in Alien vs Predator.



I like how it just extends out.

When I was a kid I used to play SF games with my brothers out in the garden and we invented loads of Sci Fi weapons. The ultimate had to be the 'Eye of the Storm' bomb. You dropped it at your feet and it'd explode devastating everything in a 100 metre radius but not affecting anything in its core - a couple of metres radius. So you can let it off and stand in its core watching everything blow apart around you but without being harmed yourself.

The turnip cannon. When I'm playing Lego Spaceships with my son, each ship has to have at least one Hyper Mega Turnip Cannon with extra Death capability.

Enviromentally friendly too.

Can I have a SPUD GUN? My fav childhood weapon.

Excellent!

I want one!

Something like Zorgs ZF1 gun in the movie the Fith element

When I was delivering newspapers (a few years ago!) I used to think about an energy weapon that was reconfigurable absolutely. I guess theoretically it could become a blaster, even a light sabre, but primarily it was either a light-sabre still hammer/mace, or, by preference, whip (as recently seen in the first reimagined Christmas Dr Who, just as David Tennant appeared).

I'd have something purely mechanical, like a crossbow, only more complicated. You'd turn and pull and set up all sorts of handles and springs for a long time, until the potential energy resembles something like a raging elephant, and it flings arrows several meters through solid rock.

Or, for simplicity's sake, you could just give me Cloud Strife's First Tsurugi from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

I reinvented old technology to get around Newtonian physics and limit or eliminate recoil.

One side used a hand-held taper-bore, spigot-mortar weapon and the other used what was essentially 2 assault rifles back-to-back on the davis gun principle.

And while you're cranking and winding I'll just walk up and stab you the eye with a knitting needle!

I invented a weapon that was basically a replication device. It was capable of shooting any projectile in any configuration from small calibre handgun rounds to explosives. It also allowed for plasma and directed energy weapons discarge, and could be controlled through a direct neural link.
It also used the atmosphere as an energy source and materials source, so it never runs out of ammo.

But I would also have an advanced positioning system, as well as an accurate ballistics computer, so that I could aim up in the air, fire into orbit, and hit you from another continent.

Time to pull out my Advanced Positioning System / Ballistics Computer Scrambler then.
