NOTE: all ripped from movies.
How bout a gun like from the Arnie movie Erazor.
Showing skeletal outlines and being able to see through walls.
Or a weapon like in fifth element. Fire a homing bullet and all subsequent bullets go to that position.
surely you must have some ideas

Electro-laser: Futuristic taser designed for police. Uses a laser to guide a bolt of electricity. Effective at several times the range of a taser and can inflict lethal shocks if necessary.
Neutral Particle Weapon: Space based particle accelerator designed to intercept ballistic missiles. Proposed and protyped during the '80s STAR WARS ABM program. Accelerates neutrons to high speeds, very lethal to any orbiting object.
Mass Driver Cannon: My personal favorite, uses electromagnetic energy to accelerate slugs of metal to super high speeds. This weapon will probably be the next big thing for the Navy. They have 6 inch bore prototypes that hit harder than a 16 inch battleship shell and can fire in bursts.
COIL: Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser. Newest industrial laser ten times as powerful as previous YaG lasers, a 10 Kw COIL can cut through an inch of High Carbon Steel in 12 seconds. The lasers can scale up to 40 Kw. The US Army is experimenting with a portable model that is lethal to infantry out to 1000 yards. The Air Force has a working prototype anti-missile device based on this laser.
Sonic Cannon: CIA project designed for crowd control. Can pulverize concrete and kill from 20 feet and stun at much farther ranges.
Nano Dissassembler: Microsopic robots that literally take a target apart and build weapons with the pieces. Each robot has a specialised purpose and all function as a neural net. This is the nastiest new weapon out yet. These make an atomic bomb look like a toy. Imagine dropping a load of these in a city and having them build an army of robots from the buildings. You could also rig the nose of a bullet with them.
There are a ton more out there. Use the internet to find more, subscribe to some science mags, read some realistic sci-fi novels, play a few games.
As far as ideas being stolen, I wouldn't worry about it. Very little is unique now, if you've thought of something someone else likely has also. Ideas are meaningless, applying the idea to a game is what is important.

Realistic weapons for a game 120 years in the future would be a crapshoot so you might as well go crazy. Semi-realistic weapon ideas are everywhere. Here are a few existing toys in development now. Most actually work but are held back only by bulky power packs. Design an effective, compact storage system and these would be on the street in months.Electro-laser: Futuristic taser designed for police. Uses a laser to guide a bolt of electricity.
