[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What Was Your Favorite Gun From Star Wars, or Sci-Fi Movie? (Page 1 of 2)

Han Solo's Blastech DL-44 is my favorite.

I had my Grandmother buy me one of the Kenner electric toy version in or about 1978. I remember it was 7.99 at a TG&Y

I took it home and painted the flash suppressor silver like in the movie with some oil based model paints.

Ah, to be young again...

I would say the E11 Carbine!

Pulse Rifle from Aliens

From any sci-fi movie would definatly have to be the pulse rifle from aliens, but from Star Wars in specific, I would have to say that I like the standard Light repeating blaster rifle (E11) with a heavy blaster pistol(Hans pistol) as backup.

Give it all up for a lightsaber though....

Zoe's "mare's leg" in Firefly. Nice thing is, I could actually buy one! (if I had $3k lying around)

+1 on the lightsaber.
The E11 would be nice. I'm sure I'd have a better hit ratio than Stormtroopers...if they didn't have those stupid helmets, unfolded the stocks & used the sights they might actually hit something.

Phaser from Star Trek and the shoulder fire version as well.

And a dust buster to get rid of the evidence.

What about "Vera", Jaynes favorite?
If I remember she's just a pimped out Saiga shotgun so once the ban sunsets it wouldn't be too hard to copy her.

A FGMP15 from the old paper & dice SciFi role playing game "Traveller" would be nice. Anti grav recoil reduction, fusion gun.......directed sunlight!
Or a Gauss rifle from the same game. Shoulder fired magnetic linear accellerator firing hollow pointed needles with an armor penetrating core. No muzzle flash, no noise other than a slight hum, little to no recoil.

I like the Peacekeeper pulse pistols and assault pulse rifles from Farscape.

Give me Kirk's little "cricket" phaser. The ultimate CCW weapon. The crossbow blaster from Star Wars was kinda neat too.

Without a doubt, the ZF1 from Fifth Element

"Zorg's prize gun, the ZF1, is an amazing piece of weaponry. It is un-detectable by X-rays. It contains an arsenal of machine gun, flame-thrower (Zorg's Favorite), net mesh, missile launcher, freeze-cannon. The machine gun of ZF1 has a special feature. After successfully hitting the target the first time, all following shots can be re-directed to the same location. It even includes a red button to activate a 5 second self-destruct sequence."

Han Solo's Broomhandle based blaster. One of the reasons I still want a Mauser Broomhandle.

What about the shoulder mounted laser blaster from Predator. That would be cool.

THat's part of the reason I bought my broomhandles .. if it's the favorite gun of Churchill, the Kaiser AND Han Solo, it's got to be pretty cool!

Aliens Pulse rifle, or Equilibrium's Grammaton Cleric heavily modified Beretta pistol.

The Martian guns from "Mars Attacks". Something quite satisfying about shooting someone and see them turn into a green skeleton.

Posted: 8/22/2004 8:24:58 PM EDT

That gun from Highway to Hell.

Or the ZF1

Farscape: pulse pistol/rifle of the peacekeepers.... Winona(sp)

Aliens II: Pulse rifle, the shizznit!! Also, the Squad weapon carrried by the hispanic girl and the large marine, looked like tricked out MG42's.

no "phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range" answer?

from star wars it'd be han's pistol
other good ones
the slug thrower prototype the federation had in that one DS9 episode, with or without the transporter attachment as it was cool either way
the later phaser rifles
the blade runner handgun
the pulse rifles and smart guns from aliens

I think they were M60s actually

The drone guns were MG42s

How bout the deadly remote control they used to fire at people on the original Star Trek TV series(phaser?)?

Those were pretty funky.

I also really dug the Planet of the Apes rifles when I was a kid.

Aliens rifles were totally trick too.

Maybe someone can tell me the automatic rifle that Ahhnold was using in the original Terminator?

You know the one he uses when he clears the police station?He runs outta ammo as Sara and whatshisdude drive off..

The aliens smart guns were .30 cals I think. I went into a long debate with some guy over this a while ago and I think it turned out to be a .30 cal.

Not to be a movie nerd, but I could CLEARLY see the MG-42/MG-3 shape in the Aliens heavy guns. Defnitely not M60s.

I have no idea what the prop guns were for the smartguns, but the fictional guns were 10mm, both the pulse rifles and smartguns. there's a few mm length difference in the ammo but basically the same according to the Aliens Tech Manual

forgot another cool gun
the handguns in 6th Day. although they do have 2 drawbacks: flames from the sides and enough over penetration to take out 2-3 people in a row

I have no imagination....

Sean Connery in "Outland" Plain-jane pump shotgun.

I may have been the only person in North America to have seen that movie. Even the projectionist walked out!

How about the TR-116 Transporter Rifle. Especially if the operator in the pic is willing to give some hands-on training.
Sees and shoots trough walls.

BLASPHEMER!!!! It was the M41-A.... At least it was in the movie, maybe the comics or books have a newer model? Anyway that is THE ultimate Sci-Fi movie gun IMO. Complete with a badass unique sound too...

I guess it was prob. a mg3 for the smartgun, but I knew some people that were doing a mod for halflife based on aliens and before fox shut them down they did a shit load of research. If I remember right it turned out to be something else other then what you would guess by looking at it. For some reason I remember .30 cal being what it was chambered in. It was a long time ago so maybe I am remembering it wrong. I can't even think of anything in that round that would look like that off the top of my head.
