TOP 10 COOLEST WEAPONS

TOP 10 COOLEST WEAPONS:

10) GHOSTBUSTERS' PARTICLE BEAM PROTON PACK & GUN:
"You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment... I blame myself... So do I... Well, no sense in worrying about it now... Why worry? Each of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back."



9) BLADE RUNNER PISTOL: One of the best aspects of the film was Deckart's awesome hand cannon pistol! Classic in design (read: not too sci-fi futuristic) and looks like it could break your wrist with its recoil if you're not too careful!

8) STAR TREK PHASER
(Classic Series): Cool retro design, great sound effects and used by the raddest crew of the Federation; James T. Kirk's Crew! In addition, it can split into 2 diff't phasers.





7) KRULL GLAVE:
The chosen weapon of Colwyn - a boomerang-type of spinning, five-clawed throwing disc that returns to the wielder's hand. "In the fortress you will need more than men and swords. You will need the power of the glave!!"

6) INFINITY GAUNTLET: One of the most powerful artifacts in the Marvel Universe. The Gauntlet consists of the six Infinity Gems mounted on a gold glove. Each Infinity Gem grants its bearer complete mastery over one aspect of the Universe: Time, Space, Power, Soul, Mind & Reality. With possession of all six Infinity Gems, the bearer can have complete omnipotence over the Universe, though not necessarily the omniscience required to effectively wield that power.


5) BRUCE LEE: A living weapon himself! "A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard. Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him."

4) THOR'S HAMMER, MJOLNIR: The favored weapon of Thor, God of Thunder, son of Odin! Mjolnir is the most fearsome weapon in the arsenal of the Norse pantheon. Mjolnir can be used both offensively and defensively. Thor often uses the hammer as a physical weapon, with almost nothing being capable of withstanding a hammer blow or throw; it is capable of toppling giants and entire mountains with a single blow. Mjolnir translates into English as "That Which Smashes." Other offensive capabilities include creating vortexes; emitting mystical blasts of energy; controlling electro-magnetism; molecular manipulation and generating the awesome Geo-Blast; Anti-Force and God Blast.Defensively Mjolnir can also be used to block attacks, absorb and redirect energy and by being spun in an arc repel all attacks, be they physical or energy-based. Thor also uses Mjolnir as a means of transportation by hurling the hammer and gripping the thong on the shaft, being pulled along by the force created. Once airborne, Thor can change direction, speed, and altitude.Upon one of its sides is the inscription "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of... Thor."

3) GREEN LANTERN RING: A Green Lantern ring can generate a variety of effects and energy constructs, sustained purely by the ring wearer's strength of will. The greater the user's willpower, the more effective the ring. The limits of the power ring's abilities are not clearly defined and it has been referred to as "the most powerful weapon in the universe" on more than one occasion. Across the years, the ring has been shown capable of accomplishing anything within the imagination of the ring bearer. Often the rings are used to form solid-light constructs, the power and size of which are limited only by the ring-bearer's willpower.
"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

2) M-41 COLONIAL MARINE PULSE RIFLE: From ALIENS, the best movie ever made. "Here, let me introduce you to a close personal friend of mine. M-41A 10mm pulse-rifle, with over and under 30mm pump-action grenade launcher." The coolest weapon ever. I'd place it at #1, but as a card-carrying Dork, I must leave that spot for.....

1) LIGHTSABER: "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age."

I love it in Star Trek when they use their phasers to heat up rocks etc... so they can keep warm when stranded on that polystyrene rock planet ! I love the Guns from Space 1999 and also the Guns from UK's Blake's 7 !

Don't think I've wished you a Happy New Year yet,so all the best for Smashing in 2007 if I haven't !

What about when Slim Pickens rode the Nuculer Bomb in Dr. Stranglove?
That is the Capitol Hill pronunciation for that word is it not? They supposably have identified and labeled a syndrom which is responsable for the incorrect pronouncements!!!
