A Timeline of Science Fiction Inventions: Weapons, Warfare and Security
Suzanne Treister created an art project titled "A Timeline of Science Fiction Inventions: Weapons, Warfare and Security" which be seen at the Documentalist exhibit at Edinburgh's Collective Gallery until March 28. Here's a sample panel from a total of fifteen.

If you would like more details about these science fiction inventions, you might want to take a look at what appears to be the (uncredited) source for her project:
Weapons in Science Fiction
If you want the bigger picture, see the Timeline of Science Fiction Inventions.
Update Dec-04-2024: It appears that she actually does credit Technovelgy.com in her exhibit; see this entry on her website. As far as I can tell, every one of her drawings uses my Timeline of Science Fiction Inventions (including the title) as her source. End update.
Via io9; thanks to Winchell Chung for pointing this one out.
