Ash's Boomstick (Army of Darkness)
Ash Williams gets dragged into a medieval nightmare full of monsters, magic, and people who have never seen a shotgun. Naturally, he decides it's time for a demonstration.
Enter the boomstick.
Ash's double-barreled shotgun isn't futuristic or supernatural. That's what makes it so funny. In Army of Darkness, a familiar firearm becomes an outrageous show of power in a world of swords and sorcery.
And nobody sells a weapon quite like Ash. The attitude, the one-liners, the swagger — the boomstick is practically another character.
RoboCop's Auto-9 might be more sophisticated, and the Zorg ZF-1 has more gadgets, but neither gets quite the same introduction.
Does Ash's boomstick deserve the GOAT crown, or is this one all personality and not enough firepower?
