There are many weird & wondeful weapons from science fiction.
However not all of them would be practical to have on you in everyday life.
Thus I have highlighted 6 weapons which I feel showcase the most practical & most impractical of science fiction.
Please note all scores are out of ten.
Impractical:
Lightsabre (Star Wars) - There was no way I was not going to mention this. It has topped a poll to find the most popular movie weapon It is probably the most replicated sci-fi weapon on the playground, but
I don't think it's that practical.
Why? Because if you pulled it out then people would go nuts. You wouldn't be able to get at your foe from your crowd of admirers. Try chopping your opponent down then.
Legality - Only allowed to Jedi & Sith.
Coolness - 10
Effect - 10
Practicality - 5
Chem Sprayer (Command & Conquer: Renegade) – A tiberium powered weapon that sprayes toxic waste onto the victims either killing them or turning them a mutated monster that’s out for your life. Further spraying only enrages this monster. Ooopppssss there goes the practicality.
Legality – Illegal
Coolness – 8
Effect - 5
Practicality - 5
The Golden Gun (James Bond) – As featured in the 1974 film.
This is possibly the most impractical weapon on this list. Firstly it has to be assembled. Secondly it needs all the parts to make it work.
Let’s think about this. You need a cigarette lighter, a cigarette case, a cuff link & a pen. Can you imagine it that unless you are outside & you are fiddling with these things: “hang on a moment, damn it! Dropped the cufflink. Huh?” KERCHOOM! Aye some amazing assassin you are dude.
Legality - Uknown
Coolness - 7

Practicality – 2
Practical:
Mandalorian Armour (Star War Universe) Before all the pish associated with the Clone Wars & jango Fett, Boba Fett was undoubtedly one of the most mysterious & collest characters in Star Wars.
His armour has it all, jump pack? Check. Grappling Line? Check. Secondary Weapons System? Check. Flamethrower? Check.
The only downside is that the police will probably stop you several times. But at least you can get away from them & rabid fans using the jump pack!
Legality – Unknown
Coolness – 9

Practicality - 8
Power Sword (Many Factions Warhammer 40,000) - Mainly asscociated with Space Marine & Imperial Guard Officers, the power sword is the standard armour ignoring melee weapon that has no assault cost to the user.
With the fact it is a sword & combined with it's blue "disruptive field" means it will look good scabbarded or in one's hand.
Legality - Only for conscripted officers.
Coolness - 8
Effect - 10
Practicality - 8
The Bowel Disruptor (Transmetropolitan) - It's non-lethal, it fits in your pocket & what's more when you use it your enemy will shit themselves silly! Hooray everyone wins.
Legality - Illegal.
Coolness - 10
Effect - 10
Practicality - 10
