A laser pistol in a hidden compartment within a robot.
After all, laser pistol electronics are no different than robot electronics.

We had a female PC who, while on planet, always wore a miniskirt with stockings. She kept a holdout pistol strapped to her left inner thigh and clipped to the top of her stocking. A spare ammo clip and knife were strapped to the other thigh.
Also had a merchant PC who had shotguns in special hidden compartments all over his Far Trader. The compartments would only open to his palm print. When trouble broke out, he was always within reach of one of those compartments.

More times than he wanted to. 
It seems the PC steward, who was in charge of booking passengers, wasn't doing very good security checks on the customers. So there were several hijacking attempts until they got that little problem fixed. They there were some pirate boarding parties, and strange creatures from a backwater planet, and some more pirate boarding parties, and some overzealous planetary government customs inspectors, and then some more pirate boarding parties. . .
That sounds like a lot, but they travelled around primarily on the edge of the Imperium and adjoining frontier space. And we had a wide-open, Old West sort of vibe in that campaign.

With that much gun play, I would think they would relocate to a safer area. Buying ammo by the crate instead of the box can get expensive. Then there is the cleaning costs to get the blood out of the flooring. The bounties might cover the cleaning costs and ammo expenses. Did you check to see if the steward was in on the hijacking attemps.
You do demonstrate that sometimes it isn't paranoia if they really are out to get you.

Laser rifle mounted with a quick release clip to the handle bars of a grav bike so he could shoot while riding and use it while dismounted.
Same character had beer stored in hidden compartments all over the ship (never know when you might get thirsty) and the ship's launch. This scout purchased beer by the ton in half liter packets. As the ship's engineer he knew every access and maintainance panel and every void on the vessel. Made it difficult for stow aways. Behind every panel was packets of beer - no room to hide - no where to move the beer so you could fit inside.

There is an old Poul Anderson story, A Spaceship Built For Brew wher the hero escapes on a column of foam, using beer kegs to power his escape.
There was anothet 1950s story were water boiled in a hot water heater was used for propulsion. I thought either would make a good torpedo. Although I would prefer to think of Bud or Coors boiling away to space, rather than a good Danish microbrew.

Or Zero-G mobility device. Take six-pack. Shake it very very very hard. Pop open all cans and point.
