I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.
NGL I really dig the Blade Runner Pistols
Ah, classic, it is very cool!
Noisy Cricket
I don’t know if anime counts, but the Psycho-Pass “Dominator” is a really cool science fiction concept in itself.
Especially when it changes between the three modes (non-lethal, lethal and destroy-decompose)
You can’t mention the dominator and not add a gif of it moving from non lethal to lethal mode
Hey, power that thing down!
Does mikoto misaka count? She’s a walking talking railgun.
As much as I didn’t like the game, the MagX guns in Starfield are pretty dope.
The flesh guns in eXistenZe are also pretty rad.
The Zorg gun is cool, but I always liked Judge Dredd’s more. All the same multivariety of fire modes, but in a compact handheld design.
Someone needs to go through and add inline images to each of these
For me it has to be the PPG from Babylon 5, it is small, but looks like it has some weight to it.

Destiny 2 has some great ones. I always liked the design of the Sleeper Simulant.
Destiny has so many amazingly designed weapons. Thorn, Malfeasance, Winterbite, Touch of Malice, all the Ikelos weapons, Conditional Finally, Deathbringer, Eyes of Tomorrow, Gjallarhorn… Weapon artists at Bungie are on another level.
I was an eldar player back when I played WH40k, but the tau railguns are such a great bit of visual design. Perhaps amplified by how terrifying they are to be on the receiving end of.
All the Warhammer 40k guns are pretty thick.
I’m going OG - the Buck Rogers disintegrator gun.
(See: Foo Fighters self titled release)They crazy gun from The Fifth Element.
The ZF-1. [activates a ZF-1 and holds it] It’s light; handle’s adjustable for easy carrying; good for righties and lefties; breaks down into four parts; undetectable by X-ray; ideal for quick discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger; 3000-round clip with bursts of 3 to 300. With the replay button, another Zorg invention, it’s even easier. [lights reveal a mannequin in police gear] One shot… [shoots mannequin]…and replay sends every following shot to the same location. [turns around, shooting in the direction of the Mangalores; bullets curve their trajectory and hit the mannequin instead] And to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies-but-goldies. [fires every weapon at the mannequin as he mentions them] Rocket launcher… arrow launcher, with exploding or poisonous gas heads, very practical… our famous net launcher… the always-efficient flamethrower, my favorite… [winks to the Mangalores] and for the grand finale, the all-new ‘Ice-cube System’! [fires a cloud of liquid nitrogen which freezes the remains of the mannequin. Mangalores applaud politely by carnage]
Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would’ve immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun…
I always loved the Needler from the Halo series. It was a really unique design at the time and probably the most fun I’ve had with any weapon in a first person shooter. Also, the explosions and the ching it does when reloading is just perfect.
While I never got into Halo, I have allways liked the Needler’s design, it looks sort of biological…
I’m rather fond of Murphy’s burst-fire pistol and hide-away leg holster in Robocop. If we are talking the coolest gun, it’s got to be the Zorg ZF-1 from the Fifth Element.
