History AbnormalAmmo / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/XCom Interceptor'' features mostly normal weapons: you start with lasers and missiles, upgrade to more powerful lasers and missiles, eventually get plasma weapons, and then develop the psi-beam, which is a laser that shoots ''mind-control beams''.

** The "Shrekzooka," which fires out flying WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}s. That explode. And shout "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP?"

* ''VideoGame/WarCraftIII'' has the Undead Meat Wagon, a catapult that launches corpses. Notice that this is not as far-fetched as it seems; there are ''[[TruthInTelevision real instances]]'' of armies stuffing their catapults with corpses, as you can see in the appropriate section below. (Indeed, you can even upgrade the meat wagons so the corpses they throw spread disease.) The Night Elf Glaive Thrower from the same game is a siege weapon that throws blades so sharp at such high speed they can cut down trees.

*** Another ''Cataclysm'' quest involves attacking an enemy-held war zeppelin. By being ''shot out of a cannon'' at it! When asked why, if he has a cannon, he doesn't just shoot cannonballs at them, the quest giver replies, "No way! They'll see that coming..."

--> "'slike a wee angry bullet wit' teeth, son."

*** In the ''Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep'' DLC, there's the SWORDSPLOSION!!! E-tech shotgun, which fires ''[[MadeofExplodium exploding swords]]''. Except saying just that would be a gross oversimplification: each primary sword is like a MIRV grenade, as in when it hits and explodes it showers the area with child projectiles (which are also swords) that explode as well. The Casual variant[[note]]characterized by the vertical foregrip[[/note]], which adds two more primary swords with no drawbacks, is a carpet-bomber capable of cleaning out a room full of mooks before the user has to reload.

* This trope features very heavily in the ending of ''VideoGame/SakuraWars 3''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' for UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 has...{{yellow snow}}balls. The most powerful weapon is a cow launcher. There are grenades that look like Terence and Philip dolls; they fart to explode. The game's equivalent to a sniper rifle is a chicken that shoots eggs. You even aim it through a little notch in its tail feathers!

* Trebuchets in ''[[VideoGame/StrongHold Stronghold]]'' are capable of shooting dead cows that inflict poison damage to the living target.

* The UsefulNotes/PlayStation game ''VideoGame/{{Terracon}}'' features the "Genergy Gun". In combat it's a fairly ordinary energy weapon. The gimmick is that the game also features coloured wireframe "meshes", which turn into solid objects and functional devices when shot with enough Genergy.

* The [[WaveMotionGun Point Singularity Projector]] in the ''Videogame/{{X}}-Universe'' games fires what are essentially naked singularities at enemy ships.

* ''VideoGame/BlueArchive'':
** Maki shoots paint from her machine gun during her EX Skill.
** Izumi (Swimsuit) throws a coconut that ricochets to multiple enemies, dealing slightly less damage upon successful ricochets. That coconut also stuns enemies for a short time.
** Honorable mention goes to Hifumi, who throws just a Peroro plush against the enemy to damage one, in spite of having ''actual incendiary grenades''.
** InUniverse, the Engineering Department of Millennium modded a gun to fire ''tabasco sauce'' because they often eat pizza and [[MundaneUtility they thought it would be convenient to have a dispenser for the sauce]]. Only later [[OhCrap did they realize]] it was ''[[TheDreaded Neru's]]'' weapon they should have repaired in the first place, thus they desperately try to prevent her from firing it. After TheReveal, Neru is obviously mad at them. At least the modifications enabled Neru to bypass bullet-proof gear used by a couple of gangsters trying to get back at her...
* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil:
** The General Student Council has authority over the whole central Kivotos, while individual schools have their own student councils, which are basically the political head of the school's region in all but name.
** It is important to note that the General Student Council, while technically being the managers for the infrastructure required for Kivotos to function, does not have direct power over individual school's student council and its member, while most schools look down at GSC as an organization due to their inability to manage Kivotos in its time of need before Sensei's arrival. In fact, SRT Academy and SCHALE is specifically made by the former GSC President to circumvent this limitation by being outside GSC's authority. Conversation with various character revealed that the former GSC President was a "superhuman" who was able to garner the trust of everyone, which is presumably how GSC was able to perform its functions compared to the state it is currently.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series of games has several:

** [[BigBad Kaptain K. Rool]] in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'' uses a blunderbuss that fires cannonballs with retractable spikes, ''barrels'' (containing cannonballs) and blobs of gas [[StatusInflictionAttack inflicting various]] [[InterfaceScrew effects]]. The projectiles also sometimes ''bounce'' or get blown about as if the air is being let out of them like balloons.
