I can't believe that no-one's mentioned Judge Dredd's lawgiver yet. The one with the slim barrel and the semi-circular dial is the original from the comics and the one with the dial and the underslung whatsit is the Mark II from the comics. The others are from the movies.

The distinguishing features are that the weapon is linked to the judge assigned it and can not be fired by anyone else (or it explodes when they try to) and that different types of ammunition can be selected - by dial in the comics and voice command in the Karl Urban film (I've successfully forgotten most of the Stallone one). No information on whether the options included a flag with 'Bang!' on it.

In the comics, the gunsight of the Mark I (and II?) looks right down the barrel, like the Bond opening credits. More cool than practical when you think about it for a millisecond, but see this:

The Point of View Gun. Shoot someone with it and they see things from your point of view. You don't want Marvin getting his hands on it.

Star Wars made clip-fed blasters popular, to the point that when this came out:

-it stood out as unique.

LOOPER, Outlaw Star's 'Caster and Trigun helped popularize actual slug thrower revolvers...

[The K2]

Space:1999 had two laser rifle designs. This is the one most seen in the series and ranks as my favorite of the two. Look carefully at the cone inside the clear muzzle. It’s the second stage engine section from an Airfix Saturn V model kit.

 

[The K2]

In the 1970s tokusatsu television series Kikaida, and the sequel series Kikaida 01, the villain Hakaida carries a specially designed double-barreled high frequency semiautomatic pistol that can fire armor piercing rounds.

... and nobody still yet mentioned the stellar German TV series "Raumpatrouille Orion" (Space Patrol Orion) with its famous handguns !
It was the SciFi series from 1966 onwards, an absolute misfortune to miss an episode. The props became known for being made from anything, you could find in a household, flatirons, shower valves, ice cream scoops, sharpeners, and so on.
Those weapons... well, difficult to copy with Lego bricks, due to the angles, but even back then we noticed, that precise aiming would be a bit difficult.

The one and only AMT long slide hardballer from T1, first 45 I bought when I got my pistol license back in 84, unfortunately without the laser

Guess it is not entirely fictional..............

This thing, from the 2011 movie Priest. A completely forgettable 5/10 at best movie starring Paul Bettany as a ninja-monk vampire hunter in a nondescript grimdark-western setting, this gun (carried by the sidekick/secondary protagonist) and the execeptional animated prologue by Genndy Tartakovsky are the only real standouts. But I love the stupid gun and I don't know why.

Not quite a "firearm" but definitely should be included:

The automatic crossbow Van Helsing used.

That movie was way more fun than it had any right to be...

Quite liked K's double tapping "blaster" from Bladerunner 2049. Very utilitarian.
A Pfläger-Katsumata Series D FKM890 (PK-D FKM890) according to canon (love the effort they put in to give these things a pedigree).

Fun little easter egg hidden in there (as well as in Deckard's blaster from the original Blade Runner): in its abbreviated form, the PK-D happens to share its initials with Phillip K. Dick, author of Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, which the Blade Runner movies are based on.

For completeness and nerdery, here's the original 1982 prop. It's made out of a Charter Arms Bulldog revolver buried in a .222 Remington Magnum Steyr Model SL bolt-action receiver and magazine. Also appeared in Fallout New Vegas as "That Gun", a unique (until the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC added a regular version) five-shot 5.56mm revolver that's quite handy for mutant varmint control.
