* ''Fanfic/ACertainDrollHivemind'': Misaka-11111 still carries around her standard-issue F2000-R assault rifle. Canon implies a few times that the versions they carry around regularly are airsoft guns, but here it is confirmed that it is absolutely a real gun with real bullets. Mikoto is not amused.
-->...also, I don't really see why they let the Sisters carry around compact assault rifles in their bags. Like, it just seems like a bad idea to me. A really bad idea that's going to end up with someone being shot who probably didn't deserve it. What kind of stupid psychopath would let traumatised clones who only know violence and death carry guns in this kind of place?\\
Oh wait, the kind of stupid psychopath who started the Sisters project in the first place. So, letting them carry guns around is perfectly in line with the stupid kind of things they do. I just hope that no one gets hurt because of it.

* UsefulNotes/{{South Africa}}n singers Appel and Bok van Blerk parodies this theme in the video comedy song ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL9DzrmORGs Limoene]]''. [[note]]"Oranges"[[/note]].[[note]]Not what you think. In Afrikaans, the word ''lemons'' is ''suurlimoene'' - "sour oranges"[[/note]] In the video, van Blerk plays one of two [[LowerClassLout zef]] delivery drivers, who make a nuisance of themselves while driving by leaning out of the windows and leering at passing women. They deliver to a greengrocers' run by a lady called Sally, who loses patience with their loutish attitude and reaches for a very big rifle. Sally (played by singer Franja duPlessis) then demonstrates she knows exactly what to do with the weapon, and the last shot of the video is of her sitting at her ease with the rifle on her lap as she grins at the camera.
