impact rifle

A futuristic weapon with nearly limitless ammunition. It uses electro-magnetism to accelerate a mass, which can tear through several layers of armor. The recoil from one of these is higher than most other rifles.
The batallion of soldiers equipped with impact rifles made swiss cheese of that line of tanks.

Skynet

A military AI computer network created by Cyberdyne Systems that gains sentience and begins a genocidal war against humanity when US military officials try to pull the plug on the project. Sends two Terminators back in time, one to destroy opposition leader John Connor's mother before Connor is born, and one to eliminate Connor ten years later.
Skynet's undoing was its use of humans to dispose of bodies in its death camps.

particle beam cannon

Used on ships from gunships to dreadnoughts, particle beam cannons are some of the most effective weapons developed. Smaller ships like gunships and corvettes have few anti-capital cannons, and more anti-fighter cannons. Larger ships employ multiple anti-capital cannons, which make for spectacular ship battles.
The particle beam cannon was only seen in the Lucifer in FreeSpace.

Enormous interstellar warships designed for one purpose: destroying worlds. They must be escorted by literal fleets, for they lack their own strong defensive systems. The energy one planet smasher uses could run a system for several years.
