I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.

The GBE from Blame!

Its sleek and compact nature belies its supreme stopping power.

Which fits perfectly in line with Killy.

I don't even like the anime but the Dominator is now my favorite one.

Does mikoto misaka count? She's a walking talking railgun.

NGL I really dig the Blade Runner Pistols

Ah, classic, it is very cool!

The coolest design is the gun-chucks from RWBY completely impractical, but awesome at the same time.

Genius needs simplicity. But many of these suggestions here lack in that respect.

I like the Jedi Killer.

I'm a simple man. Same answer for decades.

Two of my favorites are from books and don't have pictures: the nanotech weapon given to grunts in "Old Man's War" and the Soft Weapon from Niven's short story titled, appropriately enough, "The Soft Weapon". There was an animated Star Trek episode based on The Soft Weapon, but I can't remember what I looked like, I just remember the producers weren't brave enough to animate an alien with two heads and three legs.

Other than those, I really liked the silly guns in Ratchet and Clank, epecially the Vacuum Cannon.

Lots of great choices, but for me it's gotta go to Outbreak Perfected from Destiny 2.

I'm noticing a distinct lack of BFG

The zero G room gun from enders game looks pretty sick. I wasn't that much of a fan of the movie compared to the books but the gun design was pretty good. Also does star lords gun from marvel count? That's a pretty sick one too.
