I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.

A couple that come to mind:

Boltguns, and esspecially the bolt rifle from Warhammer 40k - specifically because its so massive and brutalist in design to look intimidating.

Ar-2 from Half-Life 2, for the more grounded yet still entirely sci-fi look.

Finally, the Shard Gun from Xcom 2
