For me I would say:

Akame Ga Kill- One Cut Killer: Murasame (one slice = death)
Death Note- Death Note (easy way to kill someone without needing to fight face to face)

Also if you count being the weapon as part of it:
One Punch Man- Genos' cyborg body (self-explanatory)

This spell can be classified as [nuclear] weapon:

Darkness beyond twilight
Crimson beyond blood that flows
Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows
I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand
before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand
Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed
by the power you and I possess...

1. Lupin III's Walther P38, it even has it's own movie.
2. Soul Eater's Excalibur (you are singing it, I know it).
3. Bleach's Sembonsakura because it's glorious, elegant and overpowered.
4. Gintama's "Lake Toya" wooden sowrd, because it's Gintama and it's a wooden sword again aliens, guns and real swords.

My favourite weapon is Akama's sword as well. The Murasame has such a nice ability.

I like Sasuke's sword as well eventhough it doesn't have any special powers, the way sasuke uses it makes it look very cool.

Son Hak's weapon is really epic the Hsu Quandao is so cool and Hak makes it look even cooler lol.

I'm a fan of versatile/creative/multi-functional weapons

Genos himself as a made weapon (ultimate destruction)
Migi as a weapon extension of Shinichi (can extend, retract with blades if this counts)
Psycho-Pass' dominator weapon (different modes of firing and I like its look)
Mine's Pumpkin (different modes of firing)
Guido's Sex Pistols (if that doesn't count then Hol Horse's Emperor and if that doesn't count and assuming no other JoJo stand counts as a "weapon" ) [all do bullet manipulation]
Xiu Ye's multifunctional weapon (lance, gun, umbrella shield)
Inuyasha's Tessaiga (barrier breaking by turning red, backlash wave, windscar)
Wolfwood's Punisher (it's a cross that has mini weapons on its side of the cross, a big rocket launcher on long side of the cross)
Hataraku Saibou's Steroid (its fight against influenza)
Kurumi Tokisaki's Flintlock and Musket with time manipulation bullets (varied abilities)

and probably best of all
Gintama's Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon


BEHOLD THAT BEAUTY


HM: Starscream's minicon Swindel combiner to create the Twin Laser Cannon, Legend of Galactic Heroes' Thor Hammer, Beelzemon's Burst Mode weapon

I like Saber's Excalibur, even if it is invisible most of the time, along with Mahiru Banba's hammer from Akuma no Riddle. And if eligible, First Tsurugi of Cloud's from Advent Children.

This is a hard one, lots of cool weapons to choose from.

Saber's Excalibur because it looks cool in gold color and this attack is awesome.



Murasame from AgK. One cut kill.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

ironically, its from a ecchi/harem anime with a not so serious story

kiba(dxd)'s sacred gear sword birth

its super versatile since you can forge swords with different property at will, and modify them instantly and regenerate new ones if they are broken
plus you can deal area of effect damage with it

Erza's armor especially nakagami and farewell fairy tail armor
kurapika's chains
Reigen's sacred salt

I would say gutt's dragon slayer, it's both a statement and a deadly weapon, it's a talk the talk and walk the walk thing, someones initially going to think your badass seeing you carry it, but can quickly turn to edge lord thinking you've picked up something you cant possibly use, if you're able to swing it and someone sees you do that, regardless of if you hit anyone or not you have one less enemy

I'd also go for the Berserker armour, it doesn't make you invincible persay but damn well seems like it, fighting beyond what you'd normally think you're capable of, if course this has the drawback of feeding on those negative battlefield emotions until it kills you

If I needed a magical weapon it would be the same, I will say of course that it's invisible most of the time because saber is using wind magic to hide it, something from arthurian legend. the image of excalibur would be too obvious to other heroic spirits

oh yeah
i'll second this
that totally impressed me and pretty much led me into favoriting her, in addition to her character background (though, i admit she as a character is mediocre at best)
she can be potentially be a league of legends champion imo

1.Door knocker (Pumpkin Scissors)
2.Shlamuffen (Tatakau Shisho the book of Bantorra)
3.Tuning forks (Trinity blood)
4.The Thompson Contender (fate zero)
5.Fear Kubrick (cube x cursed x curious)

I personally am a fan of unconventional weaponry such as a pair of scissors, an umbrella or a shovel).

And an avid supporter of torture and execution devices used as weapons.

Could honestly pick any weapon from Bleach, but here are a few good ones:

- Coyote Starrk’s Los Lobos (the guns and wolves)
- Kenpachi’s bankai (cmon it’s a massive meat cleaver)
- Urahara’s Cane sword/bankai (Benihime is beautiful)

Also there’s all the standards like Renji’s bankai Zabimaru and Ichigo’s Zangetsu, but yeh, in terms of weapons, Bleach takes the cake for me when it comes to creativity and just plain awesomeness

"Object" from Heavy Object
That freakin giant indestructible mecha is like a kaiju, a futuristic titans, I never thought someone could think of making something like this, of course there's evangelion, rahxephon, and what not, but Heavy Object is way way cooler like the superdimensional Macross cool.

Guren SEITEN (Code Geass)

There was a female cyborg assassin in an episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex that had a hidden shotgun arm that fired coins. That was pretty badass.
