After all, most of them are [[NotCompensatingForAnything vaguely phallic]] (an object longer than it is wide = phallic), they [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean penetrate human flesh]], and [[ARealManIsAKiller killing people is a sign of virility]]. In the case of guns, they even "[[MoreDakka ejaculate]]" bullets, while swords tend to have the reminiscent shape, with the long blade section and the thicker hilt guard in the bottom, and are usually held at around waist height. So it's not much of a surprise that weapons in general are a very popular source of phallic symbolism, if not ''the'' most popular.

* ''Dr. Strangelove'''s final scene has this as well.

* ''YuYuHakusho'' example: [[spoiler: Sensui's Kazuya personality's gun-arm. What he does to Yusuke with it looks ONE HELL of a lot like PrisonRape. This is lampshaded in the dub:

* "{{Spaceballs}}": Dark Helmet's line: "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Let's see how well you handle it." Any questions? [[hottip:* :He's talking about their pseudo-{{LaserBlade}}s.]]

* Used deliberately and disturbingly in SixFeetUnder when [[spoiler:a carjacker forces Dave to suck on his gun and threatens to shoot him with it before running away. In a show where AnyoneCanDie, it seemed like he might pull the trigger.]]

* A slightly feminist review of {{Portal}} uses this in a ridiculously contrived analysis regarding the misogynist implications of shooter games. It then praised Portal for it's feminist aspects, that included the portals' semblance to a vagina.

* ''In The Line Of Fire''. When Agent Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) [[{{Roofhopping}} misses a jump]] and ends up [[{{Cliffhanger}} dangling from a rooftop]].
