It's the Captain's Advanced Pulsetron Particle Electromagnetic Raygun! As seen in the movie, and only slightly altered with alien power sources!
C.A.P.P.E.R publicity blurb

The C.A.P.P.E.R is a community-created secondary weapon for the Scout and Engineer. It is a retrofuturistic ray gun with team-colored fins and a well-worn, metallic, team-colored body, implying extensive use. It has a small antenna protruding from the front of the gun and a long silver wire down the lower half of the weapon, which leads to a small rocket exhaust. The C.A.P.P.E.R uses AA batteries as ammunition instead of the standard Pistol magazine.

When fired, the bullets from the C.A.P.P.E.R have a unique style and particle effect that make it look to be shooting team-colored lasers, rather than traveling bullets, and a unique sound effect to match its looks.

Enemies killed by the C.A.P.P.E.R suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.

This weapon functions identically to the Pistol.

The C.A.P.P.E.R was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
