Thanks a lot. Since I am not good in this lets make it simple: five weapons of mass destruction (ueber weapons), from five different SF universes.

All 4 correct, since I am new at this game I got no idea if game universes count but as I like Master of Orion I personally would accept it.

I think who asked the question has the right to decide which answers are acceptable, so spud42 won this round.

Not exactly, I asked for 5, you gave me 3, spud42 gave me 1 so, if I didn't miss something. 1 is still pending.
