For me, I have always liked Deckard's gun from Bladerunner. A short to medium range hand gun that fires some type of explosive ammunition, specifically designed to kill a physically superior enemy in one or two shots. Kind of like an elephant gun but smaller.
I like how possessing this powerful weapon doesn't give Deckard a clear advantage against the replicants, but instead makes him more their equal. And when he loses it or the ability to fire it effectively, it creates a nice tension for everything that happens afterward.

The photo I attached is the original prop with some missing/replaced knobs and screws because, you know, it's been stored away for 25 odd years and who knows what it went through.

This guy can take your favorite game and turn it into a weapon of fear and nightmares. All of his video games adaptations, from House Of The Dead to In The Name Of The King 2, will scar you, no matter how hard you try to forget about it. If you have a better director or actor that can be a weapon of armageddon, post it.
