I vote it for you honey
The solaranite bomb from Plan 9. But a pistol can be handy too.
Colonel Tom Edwards: ...Why, a particle of sunlight can’t even be seen or measured.
Eros: Can you see or measure an atom? Yet you can *explode* one. A ray of sunlight is made up of *many* atoms!
Jeff Trent: So what if we *do* develop this Solaranite bomb? We’d be even a stronger nation than now.
Eros: [with disgust] Stronger. You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Jeff Trent: That’s all I’m taking from you!
[pistol-whips Eros upside the head]
The Cosmic Cube.
I’ll agree with the Berzerkers. Nothing like a highly intelligent weapon.
Awesome series of books there. Even though its non-canon, The Body Electric (the machine race that created Vger) has destroyed thousands of galaxies and was about to destroy this one until Data convinced them otherwise.
WOW I didn’t know you were in Public Ememy with Jimmy Cagney I saw you on TCM this morning
Another Star Trek reference. Kevin Uxbridge’s brain from The Next Generation episode “Survivors” was very powerful. He killed 50 billion Husnocks with a single thought.
Are you sure... Seven?
I though it was White Heat... on--
Here, Bendy, I'll give you... some air holes.
Top of the world, Ma! Ain't... it the top of the world, Bend?
You got it... Jimmy!
OR maybe it was White heat they show that next see I was dvr TCM today
Okay it was White Heat never mind I got to that scene just now

I didn't read the entire thread to see if anyone has posted this, BUT the most Powerful Weapon isn't science fiction at all. The most powerful weapon would be a mini-blackhole somehow set on a course to intercept a planet or star of a solar system you wish to destroy.
I think we’re talking just about our universe. Oops! Does that make me a uni-phobe?
Ah, geez! How can you trust a weapon where they failed to cover the exhaust port with a piece of plywood?
The mind of a Thrint.
