blackinches thinks phasers are lame, bullets seem so much more effective for killing.

coolest gun ever in blackinches opinion is the rail gun in eraser. the nail grenade in eraser was pretty sweet as well.

lightsabers are awesome but they are nothing compared to the might of the ninja star!

M4H agrees with blackinches opinion, and adds that Arnold had one in each hand in Eraser.

I was a Jawa Jedi tinkerer in a Star Wars RPG, over the course of a year, I developed a lightsaber that could fire the beam... with certain limitations.

I could never figure out why if you had a stable plasma fixed length beam, you couldn't do something to fire it off, if you wanted. Would make the lightsabers a lot crazier...

Black Mask (Jet Li Hong Kong action pic) had some decent railgun scenes at the end, though a little lower budget than Eraser. Still much cooler than the pitiful Quake3 "railgun" with no vapor rings :|

I'd be happy with a phasor or phasor rifle. Wouldn't mind the light saber, but you get much more distance with a phasor.

I would want a tasp from Larry Niven's Ringworld books. And then I would use it on myself. :D

That's why you master the lightsaber throw. :D
