The GBE from Blame!
Its sleek and compact nature belies its supreme stopping power.
Which fits perfectly in line with Killy.

NGL I really dig the Blade Runner Pistols
Ah, classic, it is very cool!
The coolest design is the gun-chucks from RWBY completely impractical, but awesome at the same time.
Genius needs simplicity. But many of these suggestions here lack in that respect.
I like the Jedi Killer.

I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.
I'm a simple man. Same answer for decades.
Two of my favorites are from books and don't have pictures: the nanotech weapon given to grunts in "Old Man's War" and the Soft Weapon from Niven's short story titled, appropriately enough, "The Soft Weapon". There was an animated Star Trek episode based on The Soft Weapon, but I can't remember what I looked like, I just remember the producers weren't brave enough to animate an alien with two heads and three legs.
Other than those, I really liked the silly guns in Ratchet and Clank, epecially the Vacuum Cannon.
Lots of great choices, but for me it's gotta go to Outbreak Perfected from Destiny 2. 
The zero G room gun from enders game looks pretty sick. I wasn't that much of a fan of the movie compared to the books but the gun design was pretty good. Also does star lords gun from marvel count? That's a pretty sick one too.
I'm noticing a distinct lack of BFG
The BFG exists in several versions:
The original from Doom 1993 is just a rectantular box with a weird handle, the sides of the box is covered with techno pixelart, but nothing striking.
The Doom 64 version is very similar to the 1993 version.
The BFG in Doom 3 has a profile of a weird space potato: https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/BFG9000/Doom_3?file=BFG9000-BP.jpg
The ingame model is more like a rectantular box, but with an updated case: https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/BFG9000/Doom_3?file=Bfg3
In Doom 2016 is has a better styling, with an actual grip, it now actually looks like a gun!
In Doom Eternal it looks great, if a bit generic, but not bad.
The BFG does exist in Quake II and Quake 3 Arena, but the design is just terrible.
So while I like your enthusiasm, I don't share your oppinion on the design of the BFG series.
