20 Most Awesome Movie Weapons

12. The Lawgiver - Dredd (2012)

After the shiny Armani costumes and complete disregard for the source material that blighted the first attempt at a feature-length Judge Dredd movie, Pete Travis' update takes the character back to his down-and-dirty roots. Led by Karl Urban in bad-ass, Clint Eastwood-inspired form, its a crying shame that audiences are unlikely to see a sequel given the movie's poor box office. The standard-issue firearm for all Judges of Mega City One, the versatility of the Lawgiver lends itself well to both the character of Dredd and the movie's action scenes. Coded to the user's DNA, the weapon comes equipped with a digital display and voice-activated controls. Ammo-wise, the Lawgiver is capable of fully automatic fire as well as housing armor-piercing, incendiary, non-lethal and explosive rounds.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
