  Here are my stats for one of the deadliest weapons from the famous
short film Hardware Wars:

  Hyperspace Whip
  Mass: 10
  Points: 20

  Note: This weapon can only be mounted to face forward.  When this
weapon is mounted it occludes one of the side arcs, preventing any
weapons to be mounted facing either left or right (at the player's
discretion).  This is required to accomodate the crank and handle.

  This weapon consists of two gigantic devices that bear a superficial
resemblance to egg beaters but are actually designed to warp and tear
hyperspace, causing grievous bodily harm to anyone in their path.  The
standard attack of this weapon occurs at a short range - the maximum
range is 6".  A ship in the front arc can be hit with a swirling
vortex of hyperspace plasma, taking 4d6 of damage (the weapon ignores
screens).  In addition to this standard attack, a stream of BAryonic
TeTrion Energy Residue (BATTER) can be projected through the Whip.
This highly destructive material is projected out the port and
starboard arcs of the ship and causes 1d6 points of beam damage to all
vessels in those arcs.	This attack effects fighters as well as ships
and effects all ships, friendly or enemy, in the target area.  It has
a range of 12".
