Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Pfffft that phaser was fagass, high nostalgic value or not. Long live Solo's blaster and Deckard's hand cannon. And just where in the hell was Togusa's Montaber or Robo's full auto pistol, eh? You can't make a list like this if you have a crap Sci Fi background.

Now, in terms of Fantasy weapons, that would be fun, too. Everyone would go for Sting or Anduril, sure, but I say poo to that also. Ravensfriend or Laughing Girl FTW.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

I was hoping Deckard's cannon would be on the list.

Adam Savage (Mythbusters, @donttrythis on twitter) posted this picture from his personal collection several days ago, showing his replica of Deckard's cannon, as well as one of the District 9 set props in the background:

AL: I agree - Judge Dredd's gun was killer, and on the list, but so was Robocop's, and to not have it on the list was very disappointing. I'd probably have no Star Wars blasters on my list of best Sci-Fi handguns, but that's just me. About half of the list aren't guns, so I'm not sure what any of them are doing there...
