Real-Life Cyberpunk Guns for the Discerning Nerd
If you love cyberpunk fiction and firearms, you're in luck — there are plenty of real-world guns that would look right at home in a dystopian sci-fi setting. Whether you're a fan of Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost in the Shell, or Blade Runner, these firearms combine futuristic aesthetics with genuine shooting performance.
What Makes a Gun "Cyberpunk"?
Cyberpunk guns tend to feature unconventional designs, high-capacity magazines, unusual operating systems, or avant-garde aesthetics. They challenge the traditional notion of what a firearm looks like, offering both visual appeal and functional innovation.
Chiappa Rhino
The Chiappa Rhino is perhaps the most recognizable real-life cyberpunk pistol. Its barrel aligns with the bottom chamber of the cylinder rather than the top, dramatically reducing muzzle flip. It looks so futuristic that it was featured in the live-action Ghost in the Shell film, replacing the iconic Mateba autorevolver from the original anime. The Rhino is a functional, accurate revolver that turns heads at any range.
KelTec CP33
With a quad-stack magazine holding 33 rounds of .22 LR and a highly modular design, the KelTec CP33 looks like something straight out of a sci-fi video game. Its translucent magazine and striking silhouette give it instant cyberpunk credibility. Despite its futuristic looks, it's an affordable and fun-to-shoot rimfire pistol.
KelTec KSG and KS7 Shotguns
KelTec's bullpup shotguns — the KSG and its more compact sibling the KS7 — sport a form factor that wouldn't look out of place in a video game. The KSG holds 14+1 rounds across dual tube magazines and features a unique pump-action design. Its compact, square profile and front-loaded weight distribution give it a distinctly futuristic feel.
FN P90
The FN P90 has appeared in countless sci-fi franchises including Stargate and numerous video games. Chambered in 5.7x28mm and feeding from a 50-round top-mounted transparent magazine, it was originally designed as a compact PDW for vehicle crews and support troops. The bullpup layout and integrated optics rail make it a genuine futuristic-looking firearm with a serious pedigree.
CornerShot
Designed by an Israeli colonel, the CornerShot lets shooters fire around corners without exposing themselves. The front half of the weapon can hinge left or right up to 60 degrees, while a camera provides a live feed to the shooter. It's the kind of tool that sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi thriller — and it's completely real.
Tracking Point Smart Rifle
The TrackingPoint precision-guided firearm is the closest thing to a sci-fi targeting computer you can own. Using lock-and-launch technology, the scope tracks targets and only fires when the shot is aligned with the precision point. It eliminates the human error element from long-range shooting in a way that feels genuinely cyberpunk.
