Often sci-fi films will modify guns to look more futuristic. That isn’t always necessary.
Calicos look sci-fi by themselves, alright.
Though modifying a Calico gave us the “Chinese M1-L1 triple-pulse rifle” from Deep Rising, which looks cool and is delightfully absurd. I mean, a 9mm Gatling submachine gun with a 100-round helical magazine? That’s just the right kind of stupid.
“The right kind of stupid” perfectly defines Deep Rising in general.
Spaceballs: the Flamethrower! Kids love this one.
The funniest part is they technically did make one, that is if you consider slapping a sticker on a flamethrower making they’re of stuff.
Spaceballs: The Gun!
I new there was something missing in my life. Just didn’t know what until now.
You idiot! You’ve captured a stunt double!
It’s also a gun in the game Jagged Alliance 2!
That is bizarre.
“The M100 is a blowback-operated semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 LR… a unique 100-round helical-fed magazine mounted on top of the weapon”
And I’m down the rabbit hole.

Son of a BITCH!
Are there any games that have this bad boy in them?
Jagged Alliance 2 with the v1.13 mod.
It’s the best gun in the early game, cause it outranges all pistols but takes the 9mm rounds your enemies keep dropping.I was going to type this all out but halfway down I realized how many that’d be so here’s a link with games that have it in one form or another: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Calico_Series_of_Rifles_and_Pistols#Video_Games
Tldr: Not many popular ones but a few recognizable older franchises like Resident Evil, Fallout, and James Bond.
Whoa it’s in Fallout?! Gotta be Tactics. That one has a lotta guns and I’ve never made it beyond the 3rd mission (the game is hard as fuck).
Exactly, the earliest Fallouts were a who’s who of weird guns.
