Have they missed any good ones?

The Fat Man nukes from Fallout were miniature tactical nukes and were in no way more powerful than an actual nuclear bomb like Little Boy.
and i dont get how the Iron Giant is so low, its chest mounted cannon was basically a nuke launcher.
I think you might be confused as to the reference- Fat Man was the nuke dropped on Nagasaki, and was larger than Little Boy, which was dropped on Hiroshima.
which makes these two not-actually-fiction.
When the gravity gun gets temporarily modified in Half-Life 2
The Tasp (Larry Niven: Ringworld). No real destructive power, but renders victim incapacitated by inducing a strong orgasm.
If they start the list with handguns, they should have included the Bowel Disruptor from Transmetropolitan. Hands down (and ass puckered) my favorite weapon.
If James bond is in the mix, what about goldeneye?
I’m really not a fan of super weapons in sci fi. They make little sense, if you ask me.
like. really. the Deathstar didn’t really serve much in the way of a useful purpose.
A carrier for self-mobile carriers? that made planets go poof?
Any reasonable rebel would just not be on a planet, which means you’re making your own resources go poof. and by resources, I mean labor force.
This something I never understood about Hoth. strap that ion gun and it’s genset to a freighter, and you’d have a pretty mean gunship that can disable entire convoys or blockades. equip other freighters for wildcat gas extraction and refinery and solve your fuel problems. same for manufacturing, with the advantage of not losing your shit everytime the Empire shows up.
