I love those tip up barrel pistols.. I E the JO.LO.AR , jetfire etc etc .. harkens back almost to the days of a magazine cutoff. Also in some you can insert your Subcaliber device so easily..

Look closely at his weapon. It is a steampunk-modified Nerf gun. That is a popular way for costumers to arm themselves.
Here are some Nerf guns and water guns the wife and I mod'd for her costuming:

For sci-fi guns made out of real guns, the Blade Runner blaster is my favorite. Part Steyr and part Charter Arms.

The FN 1900 always seemed to fit the steampunk aesthetic.

While the movie props and costume design are interesting, please keep entries to real guns or this thread will disappear.
There are plenty of actual bizarre firearms to whet our appetites.

Here's a Bergmann 1896 Model 2.
From Wikipedia:
"The Bergmann 1896 was a 19th-century semi-automatic pistol developed by German designer Louis Schmeisser and sold by Theodor Bergmann's company.[1] A contemporary of the Mauser C96 and Borchardt C-93 pistols, the Bergmann failed to achieve the same widespread success, although Bergmann himself later went on to design one of the earliest practical and successful sub-machine guns, the MP-18.
The first cartridges in Bergmann pistols were grooveless, with the bullets having a sharp nose to avoid jams. Later pistols, however, have mechanical extractors and cartridges with grooved flanges. The M96 had an internal box-magazine holding five cartridges."
Note the designer name, Schmeisser, might be the same designer of German WWII submachine guns.

Agreed. And imitated in some degree by the marlin Levermatic series which are not nearly as beautiful but are beautiful in their own way.

Winning!
and check out the Bergman No. 5 (1897) with its 10 round detachable magazine - and sights for 1000 meters

Note the side door on the Bergmann magazine. Open it up, drop in a clip, close door, rack bolt and shoot.
Later models had detachable box magazines. I always admired the Danish 1910/1921 but prices got out of sight.

Another that I think fits here is the Japanese Type 26 revolver. Pretty interesting design.

Nagant revolver -- with high-tech/low-tech camming cylinder to seal the chambers:

The Colt Ring Lever Rifles were certainly of a form which would suit the aesthetic and equally allow appropriate individualistic adornment suiting the style.
I have always wanted to build a Ruger Super Redhawk as a 20” revolving carbine, but maybe in this spirit, a 26” tube with a long wooden forend and a large brass blast shield could be interesting - especially opened as a 475 Linebaugh.

Another possible candidate? 
The Colt 1900. A pistol for a discerning gun owner that prefers most of the mechanisms kept discreetly out of view. For the sake of women and children, of course.

The couple look like something out of Dr. Who.
The second guy could be either Dr. Who (an early Cyberman) or an early Borg from ST:NG.
