#32: Terminator: Plasma Rifle

When the first Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger came out in 1984, it was an unexpected hit, spawning a franchise and eventually being chosen for preservation in the National Film Registry. It tells the story of a young woman being targeted by a cybernetic assassin who traveled back in time to kill her.

In the film, the Terminator is working on limited information, leading to this fan theory explaining why he might ask for a futuristic weapon in a pawn shop. What do you think? Do you think this could explain that scene?
