I’ll take the boring route. I respect the gun design of the N7 weapons. They look like futuristic versions of our current weapons but the paint design is on point.
From a novel so you don’t get to actually see it, but the clockwork diamond pistol from Chasm City always caught my imagination. Mostly transparent and needs to be key-wound.
I guarantee you’ve never heard of it because it only appears in a series of novels by Steve Perry, the Matador books.
The gag is, it glues to the back of your hand. The barrel runs along your index finger, and you fire it by pointing your finger and touching the barrel tip with your fingernail.
It fires microdarts which can have a variety of effects, the #1 use being a drug called “Spasm” which makes every muscle in the body contract involuntarily, leaving the victim tied in a knot for 6 months.
The original trilogy of books:
The Man Who Never Missed
Matadora
The Machiavelli Interface
The Tex Mechanica guns are my favorite. Especially Cayde’s revolver, Ace of Spades. The clockwork sounds and the holster and ready animations where you twirl it… very satisfying.
