whats the best handheld weapon

the pulse gun that tom cruise uses in the 'minority report' looks like it'd be some fun.

edit: the gun that gary oldman shows off in 'the fifth element' was pretty neat also.
 
A zat from stargate sg-1.

1st shot stuns
2nd kills
3rd gets rid of the body

edit: crap it has to be a movie

in that case a light sabre.... i guess
 
The Star Trek phaser of course:

1 - it's easy to conceal and looks like a cell phone
2 - there is a non-lethal setting so you can just knock out people. i.e. if there are no bruise marks, how can you get in trouble w/ the police?
3 - there is a lethal setting and you can cut through layers of steel
4 - it can be a time-bomb by overloading it
 
Lightsaber if you have the skill to use it, since it then can deflect bolts from any other energy weapon.

On TV, in SG-1 the Gou'ld hand device is apprently a weapon, force shield, healing device, all-around psionic amplifier.

could a lightsaber deflect a phaser beam?

I'd guess yes, the "blade" of a lightsaber is apparently an impenetrable field.

A lightsaber would probably be less useful against a crowd of Federation troops vs. Imperials though, since the beams are continuous instead of pulsed. On the other hand, the saber-deflected beams would also be continuous so would do much more damage as well.
 
phaser - flexible and also very powerful
the lightsabre is cool but come on do you really see yourself using it without accidentally chopping your own head off?
