A gun that shoots small, excersize ball-sized parallell universes (in which another version of you maybe shooting another version of the guy you're shooting and so on), the enemy is absorbed into it and lives in this parallel world forever. The possibilities are literally infinite. It could be the World where scarlett johansonn has a thing for extradimensional cannon fodder or the world where every atom has been replaced by a penis and every atom making up each penis is also a penis 
Is it worth the risk?
Is it worth the risk? I just want a game that actually extrapolates the increasing deadliness of our weapons over the next 200 years. I want an FPS game where people are armed with highpowered gauss rifles and other ridiculous stuff. Your time is spent levelling buildings and causing giant craters with every shot trying to get to other players.
How about a series of std weapons, like Aids knife or gonorrhea uzi.
How about a gun that instead of turning people into animals, turns animals into people to fight for you.
How about a specific shrink ray gun, a shrink ray that only shrinks target objects like the heart or maybe the spine.

Ah the Emperor's holy flashlight. Kind of missed 40k there, 40k has some cool (and batshit crazy) designs.Da Orky Man said:How about the ubiquitous, at least in 40k, lasgun:
Or, if you fancy something different:
Space Marine was nice but now someone should make a 40k FPS...hmmm what? Fire Warrior? I don't know what you're talking about...
There's a gun in The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex which has a similar thing called the PHAT Rifle. Much hilarity ensues.LtFerret said:
To make it even cooler it even features a rice bag launcher.
Apparently I'm boring. I like my sci-fi weapons to be plausible within the laws of physics of this universe.
That said, they could do a lot more creative shit in Mass Effect. Not necessarily with guns, but mass effect fields applied to enemy combatants, their equipment, or the environment through an omnitool could be used very creatively.

Hmm, here's a suggestion:
Experimental Vibration Disruptor.
An alien weapon which disrupt the vibration-patterns of the subatmoic particels in your body. It consist of a metal triangle that is fitted inside the wielder's palm and secured to their hand. It can be adjusted to simply put a target out of phase for a moment, creating nausea and disorientation, or complete dissolvement, reducing the atoms into their basic elements and scattering them in an incredibly fine dust. Of course, semi-dissolvement is somewhere in between.
Another suggestion:
Lampreygun.
A bioweapon, ment to be either fitted around a soldier's arm or attached to a combat biodrone. It consists of a small colony of lamprey-like leeches, which grow and mature at a frightening rate in the safe and snug enviroment of the weapon's hivesection. Once armed, mature leeches can be fired by way of powerful muscle spasms from the weapon. Once they hit the intended target, they immediately attach and burrow inside, seeking warmth and feed. Only really useful towards biological enemies, however.
Stranglegun.
A larger bioweapon, intended to be tripod-mounted and carried by a weaponsgroup or mounted on a vehicle. It contains a seedcapsule, containing a genetically altered ivy-genus. Once launched from the weapon by way of musclespasms, the odd plant will immediately root into the target area, and wrap its barbed, sticky wines around it and squeezing inward with unnatural strength. After a certain point, the plant will suddenly change direction and rip the wines outwards, tearing the now crushed target into pieces.

Well,we could have exploding plasma frisbee launchers...But Tribes already got those. Called Spinfusors.
Here's some awesome Sci-Fi for ya. A missile launcher. Loads one primary shell. After a certain amount of time has passed,the warhead arms,and releases five smaller missiles. These have their own propulsion,and begin flight of their own. Again,after some time has passed,their warheads arm,and then each spits out ten bomblets,which detonate on impact. If the primary and secondary missiles hit anything with their warheads armed,they blow up,too.
That is 56 explosions per pull of the trigger,just from the munitions alone! And with science fiction,we'd have the materials to make it happen. I call it... The Ragnarok MIRV Launcher.
Now,as far as energy weapons are concerned...Realistically,lasers are piss-poor weapons,if they fire in pulses. A tiny cauterized wound. Little to no trauma,no bleedout. Unless you boil the brain or hit the heart,they're still coming. Now,let's make a weapon that makes a constant beam of deadly light. Now,you can cut up your targets with an uninterrupted coherent beam. Be the Buther of 3033!
And finally,something fun.
Quite simply,a ship mounted coaxial weapon that folds the space in front of it inside-out. I'll leave you to imagine just how this'll be fun and useful as a weapon.

The Super Gravity gun at the end of Half Life 2 also does this. It's always an awesome effect. How about a mortar type weapon that shoot a shell up into the air where it hovers for a moment. Then it breaks into a dozen or so rockets that streak towards the surface in a huge bombardment.Eddie the head said:
I think that was in Deadlock The Harbinger I think. Yep.TheMann said:

Both from Armed and Dangerous, but personally the land shark gun is my favourite.
Need I say more but then the ultimate weapon would have to be:

Yep at the end of the game you play as Citizen Kabuto.
If you have never played this game go to GoG and pay the price, but beware the cut scenes may make you cry with laughter.
Same with armed and dangerous but gog do not have that yet I believe.
Check you tube for the cut scenes for both of these games,and enjoy a chuckle.
Great games, with great weapons.

Resistance had some neat guns, like one that could tunnel through walls or establish energy shields.
The...Razor, I think it was? From older Unreal games, which could be bounced around corners and the like.
If you're going to go Sci-Fi, it HAS to be ridiculously over-the-top. Screw practical. Give me a gun that paints a target for an orbital ion cannon strike. Give me a laser than can be bent around corners. Give me a shotgun that instead of firing a random scatter, gives me a bullet-hell style pattern of death. Give SEVERAL patterns and let me cycle through them. Give me a gun that can randomly teleport the person I shoot. Give me a gun that shoots little robots that try to jump onto and mind control my target.

A gun that shoots out a small worm, and when the worm hits the ground it instantly grows to its environment and kills all hostiles
