Top 50 Sci Fi and Fantasy Weapons

[Bryancd]

This is a curious list. Not sure I agree with a lot of it. What about the Blade Runner blaster, or a Sandman Flame Gun? What would you add?

Interesting List, but wondering why no Ferengi Energy Whip ;) , or the Klingon Bat'leth, or the cool Klingon Disruptor that they can build from pieces of their uniform. Chewies Bowcaster is cool as well.

I can't believe "He-Man's Power Sword" and "Green Lantern's ring" beat the phaser and the lightsaber.

Just from Jen's post I don't want to read the list.  There is no weapon on the same level as the lightsaber IMO.  I will admit that Green Lantern's ring is cool but c'mon.

EDIT: Just read the list and I must say......whatever.....some good ones on there but they sure seemed to reach for some.  I did like the shout out to the cheesy but immensly enjoyable movie Runaway with Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons.

Yeah; that's pretty weak.  And they forgot Wolverine's Claws. 8)

I can't believe "The Green Lantern's Power Ring" was number one. I'm not a big DC comics fan so I don't even know what it does. I know what a Batarang is though (doesn't everyone?) and it's not on the list.  Now I'll go read to find out what's so special about that ring. . .

Well they sure seemd to be in love with bladed weapons for some reason.  While cool, some of the choices were.....meh.

[Jen]

Yeah... Halo weapons??? They're cool but are they cool enough to belong on this list?

The Lantern Ring does everything you could imagine and has a built in onboard computer.

That was my thought too Jen. I can think of a couple cooler weapons. . .Just X, that is one cool weapon but #1?? I guess it's fine for people who are into the DC universe.

That's what I felt, this was skewed towards a comic/fantasy crowd.

Yep.  I guess this is to be expected, though.  After all, the listing was from Wizard magazine.

Wizard is a comic themed magazine.  So I am not surprised.

I would have put the Lightsaber at #1 with Green Lantern's in the top 5.  Then again for me Star Wars is always #1.   :starwars:
