      The Man with the Golden Gun is among my favorite Bond movies, and has my favorite villain, but the titular Golden Gun isn't really all that powerful. It uses 4.2mm rounds, which really isn't all that much. It's legendary deadliness is down to its owner, Francisco Scaramanga, and his incredible accuracy.

    For me, it’s the M134 minigun from the Terminator series because of packing the most firepower of any regular machine gun, and it can tear off the roof of a car as seen in Terminator 2 when the T800 engages the police but no casualties.

      This is true, and in the animated series, it kept giving J a lot of grief dealing with that kickback.. until K gave him a "neuron de-scrambler".. a sort of silencer type device that prevented both the huge kickback and focused a great deal of that spent energy from going out and away when the shot was fired, to making it go along the same path of the shot itself... this improved the destructive power of the weapon and (most importantly) helped to tone down it's kick so it could be more easily handled and utilized by J .

    Awesome choices all around.
    ->Lawgiver and ZF-1 are my favourites for Versatility
    ->Auto 9 and Railgun for stopping power
    ->and the BFG for energy weapons.
    Only things I might've made an arguement for was the T-800's lever action shotgun or Grenade Launcher from T2
    -Rambo's Belt-fed machine gun from First Blood part 2.
    -Old Painless from Predator
    -Omaya Kaboom... Hale Ceaser/Terry Crews auto shotgun with explosive rounds in Expendables.
    -and POSSIBLY either Cable's gun from Deadpool 2 or The modular and upgradeable energy pistol from that Lost in Space movie with William Hurt and Gary Oldman (that one always stuck wth me).

    The M134 minigun from Terminator 2 as well as the 1887 lever action shotgun from T2, and while these next few aren't big guns, the Colt Peacemaker from the Man with No Name Trilogy, and even the classic Bretta M9 are some of my favorite movie guns. Not to mention, John Woo used the Bretta in a good amount of his movies.

    What happened to the weapon used by SImon Phoenix in Demolition Man * The Magnetic Accelerator Gun* < "Ak-Mag" for short > is a magnetic fusion gun that displaces the flow of neutrons along a linear path that, when fully charged, possesses 100 shots per full charge, and has a horrific range of 800 METERS per SHOT! (( or 2624 foot distance))
    This, in my opinion, means it's a VERY man portable cannon that can put a hole in a tank at over two thousand feet away, and do considerably more damage to a group of enemy soldiers.

  • @Obsydiian
    @Obsydiian Před rokem

    See when I saw powerful I figured the criteria would mainly consist of just how deadly and impressive the gun was in the movie/series. For that, I figured we would see guns like the cricket from the MiB series as it packs probably the biggest punch for something its size. Or maybe the 1893 Colt Single Action as it was the deadliest gun of all time based on it killing so many natives and cowboys alike in the hundreds if not thousands of westerns that have been made. It's mainly the only gun you'll see being used by 99% of people on screen. Those two guns in particular should be super high on the list based on their sheer effectiveness, and deadly power shown on screen.
