Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Weapons in science fiction
I think it might be possible for there to be an article around this general topic (e.g. "Views of Weaponry by Futurists" etc) but such an article would have to be about compiling sociology or theoretical engineering research, citing published scholarly works on those subjects.  This is very much NOT such an article.  This strikes me most under the heading of |Wikipedia is not for things made up one day as it's clearly original research from beginning to end.  Rayguns have their own article, as to several other objects and topics linked in this arbitrary compilation, so no one is losing information by deleting this
