    Guys, I have a trouble coming up with weapon for one of my character in my novel...

    Her power is fire type and I try to had her personal weapon be unique... SO far I think about giving the weapon about 8-9 configuration about. So far I come up with several

    A suitcase back up as a computer
    A sun which double as a forge and orbital weapon.
    An Axe/ Hammer Hybrid that can expand using Nano Metal technology.
    A metal snake that breath fire.
    Some kind of long range cannon.
    Edit-A badass guantlet that also work like a burning chainsaw arm to the teeth with explosive (good job guys)

    And that is how I go stuck any suggestion?

    This all feel a bit "sci-fi"ish, so I am going with a Power Exoskeleton.

    The classic 108.000 swords are also nice.

    why not give her gauntlets instead. you can follow it up with the nanotech idea. then the gauntlets can become a weapow and would be flexible enough to become any piece of armor or clothing.

    A nice one is a magnifying glass XD. Or more seriously some laser rifle or some such which is made to rapidly fire at a mob.

    If we are talking about gauntlet I really would love to see something like a gauntlet with magic cartridges that can be reloaded so like it could be used in a battle mixing mid-long range battle and CQC

    How about a flying disc/chakram that the mc can control using her fire and when activated will spin around her for automated protection

    Guys, all these gauntlet thing already mainstream( ironman, genos, FMA mustang)
    how about Expandable-Steam Gun with bayonet?
    Burner bayonet to Cut wall and things
    Charged Steam Gun to the point same level as Rail Gun
    Wire Launcher for grappling hook

    I just realize all weapon ability OP listing have nothing to do with fire ability( normal people can use it too).
