Theres a whole plethora of sci-fi weapons from Phasers to Disruptors including the Ferengi Energy Whip, Lightsaber and Varon T Disruptor and they all have something in common. They all make deadly energy sounds!
I must confess Kivas Fajo's illegal Varon T Disruptor from Star Trek's (TNG episode 'The Most Toys') tops my list for pure evil. This phaser doesn't just kill, disintegrate, stun or even wound its victims.
Instead try imagining five seconds of excruciating agony as Fajo's death ray slowly disintegrates your flesh from the inside out. You might say the Varon-T Disruptor was designed by a pretty warped mind and you'd be right.
Which one of these sci-fi weapons makes your favorite energy sound? As usual... Star Wars is sitting pretty at No 1. Now why is that I wonder?

Give me a phaser over a light saber any day.
ReplyDeleteThe eXistenZ bone gun - twisted inclusion on the list.
The Mojo top ten clips are great, aren't they?
Kudos on including the Point of View Gun! That truly can be a depressing gun.
ReplyDeleteThe Point of View Gun was hilarious in HGTTG, but I'd go for a Phased Plasma Rile. Sweet list and I wish you a smokin' morning.
ReplyDeleteawesome... i would love to have any one of those... just not that one from Men In Black... :)
ReplyDeleteStar Trek definitely deserves first place in the Top Guns category. Live long and prosper
ReplyDeleteIt's probably totally missing the point of the exercise to say The Force, isn't it? Q's omnipotence would probably trump it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI second David's kudos for including the devastating Point of View gun.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a Cricket from Men in Black. It would fit in my purse.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this?
