How about Lucy's vectors? You know, the multiple invisible arms that rip things -like human bodies- in half without having to lift a finger? I think those are some pretty badass weapons.
Then there are the spirit beasts from Ga-Rei Zero. Heck, the Micheal II is good enough to make the list as it is. It's a sword with a trigger!
Kekko Kamen's hips are some deadly weapons when wielded right (right in someone's face, that is).
Temari's fan from Naruto is a very cool weapon.
If we're including mechs, Allenby and the Nobel Gundam are crazy with the Berserker System activated.
There's Backless and Stripes, the names of Panty and Stocking's weapons. I mean, they're guns and swords formed by underwear and socks, I think that deserves at least an honorable mention.
And I think someone already mentioned the Witchblade. I have to believe that was left off accidentally, or Gia hasn't seen the show, because that thing (and it's clones) is prettying freaking deadly. It makes Masane -a pretty normal mom- an ultimate warrior. It's one of the few weapons that makes the user look good, instead of the user making the weapon look good.
It's a good list, though. The only one I question is Senjougahara and the school supplies. She uses them, like, 3 times and it's not really for anything that fascinating. Hell, I don't even think she can do it anymore once the crab is removed, so that makes it even less exciting.

One of my favorite weapons wielded by a female is Tenten's scroll. With that, she can summon any of her weapons that she wants.

I'm not sure about that, near the end of Gurren Lagann, Yoko gets a rifle the size of the galaxy |
Ugh, I hate the movie for giving everyone universe-sized giant robots

First of all, I had to barf when I saw nina. She is definately my least favorite character of any anime ever, but weapons alone... that was pretty cool... even though it KILLED MORE CIVILIANS THAN ENEMIES i mean, come on... it killed Sayoko but not Lelouch!! Anyway.. here are some that should have been on there...
Niotono no Shana (Shakugan no Shana)
Saika (Durarara)
Celty's whole body (Durarara)
Grell's Death Scythes (Black butler) (No one can tell he's a man anyway)
The Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight Elements (Code Geass)
But, in the end, my opinions really don't matter.

Everyone who has seen a magical girl anime knows the greatest weapon is the power of friendship!

First of all, nice list. but as the most fun is to be had thinking of alternatives, I shall oblige.
Yeah, Yomiko's paper powers are the greatest. In ROD the TV you have the paper sisters and that other guy all using paper but each get stuck using them mostly in single ways, Yomiko could do anything those four could do, do more, and do it better and faster.
- Sawa's exploding bullets in Kite - Ow! That stings! ow! ow! Boom! Splat!
- Haruko's left handed Rickenbacker 4001 Bass guitar, FLCL.
- and no matter the show's faults, whenever I think of "girl with a weapon" I often think of Kuniko Hojo and her giant boomerang from Shangri-La. The thing was awesome and she coulddo anything with it it semed.

Nami uses her staff to summon weather attacks, Haruko uses a Guitar(A FREAKIN' GUITAR), Sailor Saturn uses her spear that is strong enough to destroy a planet(literally), and M.M.(despite my hatred for her) uses a clarinet that sends waves that explode on contact as well as turning into nunchucks

The Guren Mk-II, one of the coolest mechs in Code Geass, was piloted by Kallen. |
Truth.
But I gotta admit the #1 pick was an awesome choice. Clearly the most dangerous weapon, not just because of what it can do but because it's wielded by one of the most mentally unstable characters seen in an anime.

Also truth.

Awesome to see Rena on the list
Can think of a few characters for that list ehich haven't been mentioned already in this thread:
Clare or any of the other Claymores - They have huge swords
Ayano from Kaze no Stigma - She has a sword Enraiha which is quite deadly especially with her temper.
Aya and Maya from Tenjho Tenge - definitely don't want to mess with them, with their swords.[/spoiler]

Like a others upthread, I was surprised/shocked to not see Haruko Haruhara's Rickenbacker bass on this list; I believed it was a given.
Sure. As cool as finger-knives, chainsaws and sniper rifles are, chances are we're going to see another anime heroine wielding any one of those in the not-so-distant future (if not already).
But a Rickenbacker bass that shoots bullets, can be used to surf the skies and has a pull-started engine?!
One. Of. A. Kind. ::smile::

"Sword with trigger"?
I'll admit that's kinda awesome but I think you may have forgotten to mention Ayame's wheelchair in the final episode.

And if you want a girl with a gun bigger than her, Yoko's sniper rifle is only a few inches taller than her. Seras Victoria's gun is a few feet taller than her, and probably outweighs her by several hundred pounds, especially with a full clip of ammo. Add in the fact that she can dual wield such a gun, and I must say that this is quite the glaring omission! . |

So glad to see so many people favoring the Harkonnen too!!! <3 <3 <3

My favourite weapons in Dynasty Warriors are the more unusual ones - in particular Sunshine's Chakram-thingies (which is why I was really disappointed by her having a bow in 6) and the Qiao's fans (and Zhang He's claws, but he's a guy). There was also a character with a kendama in Samurai Warriors.
"Milly is also disinclined to kill people, despite her possession of a pretty hefty piece: a multi-barrel riot gun loaded entirely with rubber bullets"
She's disinclined to kill despite wielding a non-lethal weapon?
