… the Lazy Gun from the Iain Banks tale Against a Dark Background.

From the novel:

You glanced through the sight, zoomed in until the objective you had chosen quite recently filled your vision, at that point you squeezed the trigger. The Lazy Gun wrapped up quickly.

In any case, you had no clue at all precisely the thing planned to occur straightaway.

In the event that you had focused on an individual, a lance may abruptly emerge and pierce them through the chest, or some snake's spit tooth may touch their neck, or a boat's anchor may seem falling above them, pulverizing them, or two huge switch-terminals would jump momentarily into being on one or the other side of the hapless objective and disintegrate the person in question.

On the off chance that you had pointed the firearm at something bigger, similar to a tank or a house, at that point it may collapse, detonate, breakdown in a heap of residue, be struck by a segment of a tsunami or a magma stream, be turned back to front or simply vanish totally, with or without a bang.

Expanding scale appeared to loot a Lazy Gun of its unpredictable poesy; turn it on a city or a mountain and it tended essentially to drop a suitably estimated atomic or nuclear fireball onto it. The possibly realized exemption had been when what was accepted to have been a comet core had obliterated a city-sized berg-flatboat on the water universe of Trontsephori.

Talk had it that a portion of the prior Lazy Guns, at any rate, had shown what looked dubiously like humor when they had been utilized; hoodlums saved from discharging crews so they could be the subjects of trials had kicked the bucket under a hail of slugs, all hitting their hearts simultaneously; an old submarine had been ridden by profundity charges; a frantic ruler fixated on metals had been covered under a downpour of mercury.

The more courageous physicists- - the individuals who didn't attempt to deny the presence of Lazy Guns out and out - wandered that the weapons some way or another got to various measurements; they observed other continua and plunged into one to cull out their picked technique for annihilation and move it to this universe, where it completed its ruinous undertaking at that point quickly vanished, just its belongings remaining. Or on the other hand they made whatever they wanted to make from the beginning of quantum change that contributed the texture of room. Or on the other hand they were time machines.

Any of these prospects was so amazing in its suggestions and repercussions - given that one could comprehend or at any point tackle the innovation in question - that the reality a Lazy Gun was light yet massy, and weighed precisely three fold the amount of flipped around as it did the correct far up, was practically inconsequential by correlation.
