Here are my stats for one of the deadliest weapons from the famous short film
Hardware Wars:

Hyperspace Whip Mass: 10 Points: 20

Note: This weapon can only be mounted to face forward. When this weapon is
mounted it occludes one of the side arcs, preventing any weapons to be mounted
facing either left or right (at the player's discretion). This is required to
accomodate the crank and handle.

This weapon consists of two gigantic devices that bear a superficial
resemblance to egg beaters but are actually designed to warp and tear
hyperspace, causing grievous bodily harm to anyone in their path. The
standard attack of this weapon occurs at a short range - the maximum
range is 6". A ship in the front arc can be hit with a swirling vortex of
hyperspace plasma, taking 4d6 of damage (the weapon ignores screens). In
addition to this standard attack, a stream of BAryonic TeTrion Energy Residue
(BATTER) can be projected through the Whip. This highly destructive material
is projected out the port and starboard arcs of the ship and causes 1d6 points
of beam damage to all vessels in those arcs. This attack effects fighters as
well as ships and effects all ships, friendly or enemy, in the target area. It
has a range of 12".
