From Joe Poyer's novelette 'Mission: Red Clash' (Analog Magazine, December 1965) the M-15 Rifle for which sadly no specifics other than a folding stock were provided by the author.

There's always the Jaffa staff weapon

Combines an ancient look with sci-fi blaster for something that's totally impractical! :D
 
The small-projectile weapons used in Starship Troopers and Stargate Atlantis seem designed to lose a war. If you are to imagine... how about something more macho?

Well, there is always the "Derringer" of sci fi guns, the Noisy Cricket!

OIP.99XvkdwRS4yNRqBiDGLykAAAAA


It has got one hell of a recoil though! :D

 
Not so much fictional firearms as disguised real firearms, but I always like the fully-stocked rifles and submachine guns from the various classic "Planet of the Apes" films and TV series. In reality they were just shells over real M1 carbines and Madsen M50 SMGs.

I remember an episode of U.N.C.L.E. in which Illya Kuryakin uses a special bow that consisted of a modified slingshot capable of shooting arrows... Does anyone have pictures of this thing?

Better than a swing line

Buck Rogers, Jack Deth & Other Laser Blasters of Yore (A build thread!)

Figured it would be better to create a collective thread with a few similarly themed projects I've been tackling lately. These hearken back to simpler, more "fun" times, I guess. A few years ago I started thinking about making a Jack Deth pistol from the first Trancers movie. I loved that film...

Most TV and Film productions use real weapons or modify them like the Sterling SMGs in Star Wars.
Now and again, however, a show decides to make its own props.
In 1970 Gerry Anderson released his live action series "UFO" set in a fictional 1980 where a secret organisation called SHADO battled aliens from Free outer space.
Amongst the kit designed and made for the show were these two assault rifles.
One is for use on Earth, the other in Space.
Click to expand...
These rifles were custom props made for UFO, with one designed for Earth use and the other for space, reflecting the show’s futuristic style rather than being real or modified weapons.
 
Back to my 'Convention' tales.
'City of Fresno' has been yeeted almost a thousand light-years rim-ward from 'Chaparral' by running through that star's 'Einstein Focus' of near-by recurring nova. Ship has almost five thousand 'Last Train' evacuees and a zoo of problems. Including, yes, not even a fraction of fuel needed to get home...

They do have eg Gaia Star-charts but the local 'polities', if any, are totally unknown. Beyond the *BIG* axial comm-laser, a few small-arms and some re-purposed mining tools, they've scant weaponry. Or the makings of ammunition for eg STEN...

So, to defend ship's many docking pylons, they prototype, then build 'spin guns': Gas-line, 'Tesla Turbine' for spin, round pellets made by cooling droplets of melt along drift-line, per historical musket balls' drop-tower. Given different materials, some rock-tumbling required, too. Aim-dispersion 'significant' but, due ship 'barbecue' roll and spin-drums' Coriolis twirl, and these weapons being 'fixed aim', that's okay...

Yes, such are 'Noisy as F***k', veritable 'Jericho Trumpets'. Bels rather than DeciBels. A potential weapon in own right...

Oh, and they're also building some 'punt guns' using flammable vapour and wadded buck-shot / langrage loads...
