History Main / MixAndMatchWeapon

** ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'' gives several characters multi-form weapons; Ex-Aid himself has Gashacon [[https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Gashacon_Breaker Breaker]] and [[https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Gashacon_Key_Slasher Key Slasher]], Snipe has the [[https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Gashacon_Sparrow Gashacon Magnum]] that also folds out into a sniper rifle, and Lazer has [[https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Gashacon_Sparrow the Gashacon Sparrow]], which is a bow that [[BifurcatedWeapon splits]] to become two sickles.

* Wiki/TheOtherWiki presents us with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_sword these]] oddities.

Two ([[UpToEleven or more]]) weapons share the same body, allowing either to be used at any time.

* In the 17th century, someone had a custom made wheel-lock pistol that could also bludgeon people. While this isn't unusual they paid for it to be ''[[http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/05/28/firearms-in-the-tower-of-london/ a mace that shoots people]]''. The firearm resembles an ornamental war mace with a doghead and wheel sticking out of the side. There were also [[http://firearmshistory.blogspot.com/2010/12/combined-firearms-axes.html wheel-lock axes]] and a ''[[UpToEleven wheel-lock]]'' ''[[http://peashooter85.tumblr.com/post/56298305440/early-17th-century-combination-warhammer-and war hammer]]'' that shoot 6 shots, 5 of which are shot out of the hammer's striking end.

* ''Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'' has Dark's crosshammer, which is explained as a crossbow that uses [[AbnormalAmmo hammers instead of arrows]].
* ''[[Creator/DetsniyOffSkiword Kid Icarus Uprising 2: Hades Revenge]]'' includes a chainhammer. The weapon is a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]], except the chain has [[DropTheHammer hammers]] attached to it instead of a saw.

* ''Fanfic/{{DNMC}}'' continues on the standard set by its [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} canon counterpart]] with its titular team packing a pair of shotguns[=/=]swords, a grenade launcher[=/=]shovel, a sniper rifle[=/=]assault rifle, and a kusarigama[=/=]bow and arrow.

It's two, two, ''two'' weapons in one! And sometimes ''[[UpToEleven more]]''.

Sometimes, when you combine two weapons, you get something with a completely new set of properties -- like combining a gun and a sword into [[AbnormalAmmo a gun that shoots swords]]. Or you might get a more traditional SwissArmyWeapon -- for instance, a gun that can ''turn into'' a sword. But the rest of the time, you get a Mix-and-Match Weapon -- two weapons combined that retain the uses and elements of both. The classic example is a [[BayonetYa bayonet]], which is nothing more than a knife strapped to a rifle, creating a weapon that can shoot ''or'' stab at will. Compare BifurcatedWeapon, contrast MorphWeapon.

* In an ''ComicBook/{{Elseworld}}s'' story with ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' characters as {{Pirate}}s on the Spanish Main, [[ComicBook/TheJoker The Laughing Man]] had a pistol pointing out of the guard of his sword, under the blade.

* Henry VIII had a [[http://www.royalarmouries.org/what-we-do/publications/what-we-do/publications/new-publications/single-image/1211 Triple-barrelled Gun Mace]]

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'', being a LongRunner, has had a ton of these:

** Series/KamenRiderKabuto has his Kunai Gun, which also functions as a handaxe when the barrel is gripped. His SuperMode had a sword-gun.
** Series/KamenRiderDecade has the Ride Booker, which is a sword, a gun, and also the container for his transformation cards.
** Series/KamenRiderWizard gains the [=AxCalibur=], a combination axe and sword, in his SuperMode. It's actually fairly similar to Buffy's scythe.
** Series/KamenRiderExAid gives several characters multi-form weapons; Ex-Aid himself has a combination sword/hammer, Snipe has a handgun that folds out into a sniper rifle, and Lazer has a bow that [[BifurcatedWeapon splits]] to become two sickles.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': As another Monty Oum production, damn near every single weapon can transform at ''least'' from a melee to a ranged version. It is used so much, Creator/RoosterTeeth decided to create a shirt saying "It's also a gun" (referencing Ruby explaining the phenomenon to Jaune). Ruby's Crescent Rose is a scythe (and a sniper rifle), Weiss's Myrtenaster is a rapier (and a [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dust]] revolver), Blake's Gambol Shroud is a katana/sickle with a sharpened sheath for DualWielding (and a machine pistol), and Yang's Ember Celica are a pair of gauntlets (and also shotguns). And that's just the main four girls in a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters very large cast]].

* ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'''s swordchucks are sword-nunchucks. And some CrazyAwesome bastard made a [[{{Defictionalization}} real life]] [[http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=36835 version]].

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': On two separate occasions, both when fighting [[SuperToughness Lash]], Mack expresses his desire to own and use "a shotgun-axe combination of some sort". In the episode "Watchdogs", Mack creates a jury-rigged version by duct-taping a meat cleaver to the end of a shotgun, and by the time of the season finale he's finally crafted a proper shotgun-axe which he continues to use in later seasons. The shotgun-axe would go on to achieve such mythic status that when Mack temporarily lends it to Coulson during a fight, Coulson reacts as if Captain America had just lent him his shield. Flint [[AwesomeButImpractical questions the weapon's practicality]], pointing out that [[RealityEnsues the axe head would make the gun too heavy and hard to shoot]]. Mack takes great offense to this and immediately snaps back that it also makes it real easy to [[OffWithHisHead chop people's heads off]]. One demonstration of said head-chopping later, Flint has been converted to the righteous path and agrees that the shotgun-axe is indeed an ImpossiblyCoolWeapon. And just in case you still didn't think it was cool enough, in a later episode, Mack demonstrates that the (bearded) axe head can even rotate 180 degrees and be [[BayonetYa used as a bayonet]] for ''stabbing'' as well. It almost qualifies as a SwissArmyWeapon at this point.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* One of the weapons in the online RPG ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' is a Sawed-Off Gunblade, which looks like a flintlock pistol with two two-pronged blades attached on the bottom. The normal attack is slashing, while the rare special attack is a double-barrel shot. Both do fire damage.
* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'':
** The hidden blade is upgraded to work not only as a hidden retractable blade for assassinations and general knifing people in a cool way, but also as a gun.
** There is also a syringe blade that injects poison on contact.
** At one point it's also upgraded with a poison dart launcher. Then ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' takes it one step further by adding the "hookblade", although it's a tool for faster climbing rather than killing people. Correct use of the hookblade in the right areas can ''significantly'' increase the speed at which you can climb.
** The Dead Kings DLC of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' has the Guillotine Gun, which is a grenade launcher combined with an axe.
** You can get a pair of gunswords in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'', if you complete all assassination tasks. They aren't any more deadly than any other pair of blades in the game, but they do provide for some unique finishing moves, such as stabbing a guy and then using a gun blast to quickly get him off the blade.
* ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'' presents an interesting one. A spear-tipped long-handled battleaxe, with a scythe on the opposite side. It probably wouldn't be very good, but RuleOfCool allows him to beat the unexpecting hell out of you if you aren't prepared.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' introduces the [[Film/ApocalypseNow Lt. Col. Kilgore]]. A pair of rocket launcher tonfas. And Sai-Fung. Called the [[FanNickname 'gun-chucks']] by fans.
* One of the many available weapons in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is a "saw cleaver": a blade with teeth on one side, and a clean edge on the other. This allows it to be folded in half at the hilt and used as a saw, or folded out and used as a cleaver. Other "Trick Weapons" also have the ability to change into different types of weapons. Ludwig's Holy Blade for example is a massive greatsword whose giant blade is actually a sheathe for a smaller longsword. And the Reiterpallasch is a literal gunblade, albeit more realistic, being a rapier with a pistol attached.
* Lucca from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' apparently has one of these: a small mallet that also functions as a gun and a flamethrower (the last two seem to be located in the mallet's head). "Apparently" means it's not explicitly referred to in-game, but you can totally tell from the battle animations.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'':
** The GLA specializes in this, as their units are hopelessly outmatched by modern US or circa-1970s Chinese units:
*** The [[ActionBomb Bomb Truck]] can be loaded with high-explosives, with anthrax or, (unlike the Scud Launcher, which can switch between both with every missile launched) both at the same time, though the cost of outfitting each truck gets prohibitive.
*** Technicals, Toxin Tractors, Quad Cannons and Marauders can run over the wreckage of enemy vehicles and recycle the parts to improve their own armaments. Most dramatic for the Technicals, who go from machine gun to missile launcher and the Marauders, who eventually get a second main gun.
*** Scorpion tanks can be given a surprisingly high-damage rocket against vehicles, while their shells can contain anthrax to greatly increase their efficiency against infantry.
*** The Angry Mob is armed with scavenged pistols (which can be upgraded to [=AK47s=]), {{Molotov Cocktail}}s and ''rocks''. And yet, they are scarily good at tearing down buildings.
** The Chinese Overlord tank can equip a bunker for five soldiers, an Antiair and AntiInfantry gatling turret or a propaganda tower that slowly heals all troops around it in addition to its twin main guns. In the expansion, the Emperor comes with a turret pre-installed, leaving room for another upgrade.
** The US Humvee starts with a machine gun, but can be outfitted with a flying machine-gun-wielding Battle Drone (like all US ground vehicles), a missile launcher, and as loaded infantry fire out the windows, can fire missiles, grenades, sniper rounds...
* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': Some units have multiple types of guns mounted to deal with different targets, though only vehicles can use them simultaneously.
** Imperial Guard, SpaceMarine tanks (and their stolen ork equivalent) have a main gun and side-mounted heavy bolters/lascannons.
** Despite being an artillery piece and thus not belonging anywhere near the frontline, the Basilisk has a front-facing heavy bolter in addition to its gigantic Earthshaker cannon.
** The Tau Commander's XV-22 armor turns him into a JackOfAllStats, giving him a flamethrower against infantry that gets too close, missile launchers against structures and vehicles, and a railgun against everything, [[MoreDakka and while able to use all three at once,]] the equipment needs to be rebought if he's killed.
** Obliterators use heavy bolters against infantry, plasma guns against heavy infantry, and lascannons against vehicles and buildings, all from the same multi-barreled ArmCannon that was fused with their body.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' allows you to use [[DuctTapeForEverything the magic of duct tape]] to combine two different weapons into zombie-slaying perfection. Chuck's arsenal includes : Defiler (sledgehammer + fire axe), Knife Gloves (boxing gloves + knives), Boomstick (pitchfork + shotgun) and several more. ''VideoGame/DeadRising3'' follows this up by not only adding new combo weapons, but by allowing you to mix-and-match ''vehicles''.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace3'': [[PlasmaCannon Plasma gun]] not enough? Add a [[MoreDakka sub-machine gun]] to it at any [[ItemCrafting bench]]. In fact just about any two basic power supply elements can be added to one of two major frame types to create hundreds of different possible weapon combinations. Careful planning can result in some really deadly weapons.
* Yue Ying in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 6: Empires'' uses a [[http://koei.com/dw6e/downloads/art-yy3.jpg weapon]] that combines a crossbow, knife, and gauntlet.
* The flash shooter ''VideoGame/{{Enigmata}}'' has a variant: There are three "basic" weapons, and seven "rare" weapons. After picking up a rare weapon, you have to pick up a specific common weapon to get a much stronger fusion weapon.
* While having many secondary weapons for most skills, Lance from ''{{VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy}}'' uses his gunblade for normal attacks and certain skills.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', gunblades are, as the name suggests, a combination of sword and gun. However, the gun part doesn't fire a projectile; instead, the firing mechanism sends a [[VibroWeapon shock of vibration along the blade, increasing cutting power of the weapon.]]
*** Soldiers of Esthar have a weapon that's half Pickaxe, half Shotgun.
** Gunblades reappear in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', this time transforming between a sword mode and a gun mode which ''does'' fire actual bullets.
** They also show up in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' and some of the Compilation games as weapons for the bad guys, and look totally ridiculous (shotgun katana, anyone?)
** They are also the main weapon of the Garlean Empire's forces in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' as well, here mainly being rifles with blades built along the barrel. In the expansion ''Shadowbringers'', players can also use gunblades as part of the Gunbreaker tank job. Gunbreaker gunblades function more akin to the weapons seen in ''VIII'': outside of a SwordBeam attack, Gunbreaker gunblades are strictly close-range weapons that do not fire bullets and instead [[VibroWeapon use aether cartridges to flash-heat the blade and increase its cutting power]].
* In ''VideoGame/ForHonor'', we get the Lawbringer and his poleaxe: a pole weapon that combines the [[AnAxeToGrind blade of an axe]], the [[BladeOnAStick point of a spear]], and the [[DropTheHammer head of a hammer]] into one weapon.
* The signature weapon of the ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' series is the Lancer, an assault rifle with a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw bayonet]].
* While older models in ''VideoGame/GodEater'' where either melee or ranged, new types have a {{BFG}} turn into a {{BFS}} with shield included.
* Gunblades exist in a completely different form in ''[[VideoGame/{{Gungrave}} Gungrave Overdose]]''. They're essentially two [[KatanasAreJustBetter red katana blades]], each of which is attached to a machine pistol. They're also owned by an undead swordsman.
* The ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' mod, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rocket Crowbar]].
* The Brutes of ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' have a penchant for sticking all manner of sharp objects on their weapons, since their phenomenal strength lets them deal as much damage in melee -- if not more -- as a shot from one of their guns. From smallest to largest: the Mauler has a small crescent-shaped knife along the hand guard, the Spiker SMG has a pair of hatchet blades, and the eponymous Brute shot is a grenade launcher whose underside is a fusion axe/scythe nearly the length of the gun. Even their Gravity Hammers are bladed!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', there are six possible weapon combinations, one corresponding to each main weapon.
* The ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series:
** The gunlance, which is exactly what it sounds like. The weapon can be used to stab like a traditional lance, but can also fire explosive shells during an attack.
** ''Monster Hunter 3'' introduces the Switch Axe, [[SwissArmyWeapon an axe that can turn into a big sword]].
** ''Monster Hunter 4'' adds yet another with the Charge Blade. It's a sword and shield (the sheath is built into the shield) that can combine together into a large axe.
** Meanwhile, [[LongRangeFighter Gunners]] have access to Light and Heavy Bowguns, weapons that may look like AutomaticCrossbows at first glance, but the muzzle flashes and attachable HollywoodSilencer place them firmly in this category.
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'': Kung Jin's bow can be used as a bo staff for close-quarters combat and has a dragon head decoration mounted on the top [[FireBreathingWeapon that breathes fire]].
* ''VideoGame/NaziZombies'': The map, Mob of the Dead contains the [[{{Portmanteau}} Blundergat]], combining the compactness, appearance, and spread of a blunderbuss, with multiple barrels, and the sheer power of a gatling gun. There are also only two of these available, and one must be gain via the EasterEgg, but only if one had a Blundergat in the first place.
* Whenever Nepgear from the ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'' transforms into Purple Sister, her default LaserBlade turns into a gunblade.
* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' has Ryu's Kusari-gama, which in form is virtually identical to its [[TruthInTelevision real life counterpart]]. It consists of a small sickle, with a long chain connecting to a weight or spike attached at the hilt. Also, in a more literal interpretation of this trope, we have the Vigoorian Flail, a massive pair of sickles attached at each end by a chain, and wielded much like a set of nunchaku. When used to their fullest in combat, expect LudicrousGibs galore.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'':
** Margaret Moonlight has a pair of weapons called "Le Croissant du Ange" [sic], or The Crescent of Angels. One is pictured above. These are sniper rifles with stocks that are ''scythes''.
** Matt Helms has a fire axe/flamethrower. As a transforming weapon, Nathan Copeland has mechanical arms / ''boombox rocket launcher''. Creator/Suda51 was so disappointed that he had to take Nathan out of the first ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' that he was the first boss worked into the second.
* The Rangers in ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}'' use fairly conventional gunblades as their standard issue. However the title character's [[BizarreAlienBiology Energy Bon-Bon]] is stronger and so he never uses one.
* Every weapon in ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}'' has a drastically different second firing mode, which makes the seemingly modest five-weapon arsenal much more versatile (it's even possible to combine the primary and secondary firing modes with some weapons). To wit, in ''Painkiller'' you have a weedwhacker that fires laser beams, a machine gun that shoots rockets, a grenade launcher that shoots foot-long wooden poles, and [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation of course]], a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.
* As each weapon in ''VideoGame/PerfectDark'' has a secondary fire mode, a few of them fit this trope, but probably the coolest is the Dragon, an assault rifle that just happens to have a proximity mine built in.
** The Super Dragon combines an assault rifle and a [[GrenadeSpam grenade launcher]].
** The RC-P120 gives the user the option of turning on a cloaking device, though this feature eats up ammo like crazy.
** The Phoenix has the option of turning regular pistol ammo into miniature rockets that explode on contact.
** ''Perfect Dark'''s most (in)famous weapon, the alien [=FarSight=] XR-20, combines a OneHitKill sniper rifle with a target-seeking X-ray scanner.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarZero'' introduces a hybrid weapon called a "Gunslash" to the series: when used normally, it functions like a sword, but when held in a defensive position, it can fire off spreading projectiles.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' also features Gunslashes, which can now switch between sword and pistol mode. The Gunslashes themselves can be either this or a MorphWeapon.
* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'': swordmace, though it's [[WeaponsKitchenSink not too different]] from any other mace.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has the [[EpicFlail Ivandis Flail,]] a silver sickle on a chain attached to a long rod. It IS unwieldy and is meant to be -- it was devised as a weapon against mind-reading [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyres]], and, unlike all other silver weapons, works PRECISELY BECAUSE neither side knows where exactly the sickle will end up, thus not letting the vampyre perfectly dodge the strike every single time. It also is a Mix-and-Match Weapon in a different, more straight sense. Silver sickles by themselves are used as a focus for casting a certain spell, one that causes select scenery objects to produce items. The rods themselves are used for a different spell, used to hold juvenile vampyres in place. The Ivandis Flail can do both.
* Motonari Mori of ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors 3'' has a similar crossbow/claws/gauntlet combo.
* Cervantes of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'' fame is known for DualWielding two swords with a pistol built into the hilt of the smaller blade.
* In ''VideoGame/Strider2014'', [[BloodKnight Pei Pooh]] receives a set of hook swords (or some similar Chinese weapon, it seems) with built-in machine guns, which she uses for both slashing and shooting [[PlayingWithFire fireballs]].
* Vicious, a HeroAntagonist in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' GaidenGame ''Tales of Crestoria'', has ''pistol''-blades (which he {{Dual Wield|ing}}s, naturally), and his animations show him seamlessly switching between slashing attacks and projectile strikes.
* ''VideoGame/TigerRoad'' where you are a monk that starts off armed with the "axe" weapon. This weapon is a combination of [[AnAxeToGrind double-bladed battleaxe]] and [[EpicFlail a flail with a long chain]]. The resulting "axe" weapon has a very large attack circular attack radius in a 2D game, letting it cut down enemies coming at you in all directions, as such every other weapon you pick up is actually worse than your starting axe.
* Several playable characters from the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' use this type of weapon.
** While Randy Orlando from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesZeroNoKiseki'' uses a stun halberd as equippable weapon, one of common choices in Crossbell Police Department, he actually has one weapon he doesn't want to use anymore because [[spoiler:[[DarkAndTroubledPast it reminded him of]] his Jaeger days]] but had to during the "Ao" part of the duology; [[spoiler:A mixture of submachine gun and blade called Berserga]]. Said weapon can be seen in his 3rd S-Craft.
** Shirley[[spoiler: Orlando]], member of a jaeger group "Red Constellation"[[spoiler: and Randy's cousin]], has an even more extreme example. She has a mixture of chainsaw, rifle ''and'' flamethrower. All of the weapon's attributes can be seen in her S-Craft.
** Fie Claussel from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' uses a pair of pistol swords (or combination of dagger and gun/pistol, your pick). Her crafts arsenal include slashing skill, gun skill or combination of both. This is advantageus since she has higher chance to unbalance enemies from the weapon covering three of four available attack types; slash, thrust and pierce, each with B proficiency.
** Nacht Weiss from ''Akatsuki no Kiseki'' uses a standard [[BayonetYa bayonet]] as his weapon.
** Juna Crawford, a character in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Trails of Cold Steel III]] uses a weapon called "Gunbreaker", a mixture of guns and tonfas. She can also change her combat style between "strike mode" (close range) and "gun mode" (long range with [=AoE=]).
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' has a fondness for exotic weapons, so it's not surprising that quite a few of these pop up.
** The gunblade category of melee weapons features the Redeemer shotgun-sword and the Sarpa burst rifle-sword, which can fire off shots as charged attacks or as part of combos from the gunblade Stances.
** Spearguns are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin guns that can be thrown as spears]]. The Grineer-manufactured Javlok lobs fireballs when fired normally and explodes when thrown. The Corpus-designed Ferrox acts as a sniper rifle that can tether enemies when thrown. The Tenno-created Scourge behaves like a machine gun and emits a field that attracts gunfire to nearby enemies when thrown.
** The blade and whip category of melee weapons are not conventional {{Whip Sword}}s but rather are bladed weapons with auxiliary cords attached to the hilt, akin to a kusarigama. The Jat Kusar ups the ante by incorporating rocket boosters into the design.
** A couple regular whips also stand out in this regard. The Lecta and Secura Lecta are half taser, while the Atterax is tipped with a series of rotary sawblades.

* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' allows you to use [[DuctTapeForEverything the magic of duct tape]] to combine two different weapons into zombie-slaying perfection. Chuck's arsenal includes : Defiler (sledgehammer + fire axe), Knife Gloves (boxing gloves + knives), Boomstick (pitchfork + shotgun) and several more.

Compare BifurcatedWeapon, contrast MorphWeapon.

* In ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'', Shizuka wields two chain-linked daggers. The chain extends so she uses this primarily as a ranged weapon. Not only can she block bullets and cut fireballs in half, she can even maneuver her daggers around corners.
* In ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'', Kamatari has a giant SinisterScythe, already an AwesomeButImpractical weapon, which has a very heavy iron ball at the end of a very long chain. It's intended to act as a counterbalance to allow use of the absurdly large scythe, but of course it ends up being a weapon in its own right. Interestingly, this is a scaled-up version of [[TruthInTelevision a real weapon]] called the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusarigama kusarigama]].
* Elie of ''[[Anime/RaveMaster Groove Adventure Rave]]'' uses a pair of Gun-Tonfas.
* In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', Kurapika uses [[InstantChucks Sword Chucks]] before learning [[FunctionalMagic Nen]].
* ''Manga/{{Zetman}}'' - In the {{Seinen}} manga and {{Tokusatsu}} {{Deconstruction}}, Alphaz had the Cell Delete, which is a sword combined with a gun.

* ''Manga/{{Gamaran}}'' has Jaki, whose secret weapon is, essentially, [[EpicFlail a spiked flail]] with a [[SinisterScythe hand-held kama]] in lieu of the handle, while his associate Kotaro has a sickle-bladed armlet connected to three long chains. The sequel tops this with Ichiki Oobayashi and his [[NamedWeapons Enmiyabi]], a [[FightingWithChucks sansetsukon]] with [[AnAxeToGrind axe blades]] attached to it, making it a three-sectioned poleaxe.

* In an ''ComicBook/{{Elseworld}}s'' story with ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' characters as {{Pirate}}s on the Spanish Main, [[ComicBook/TheJoker The Laughing Man]] had a pistol pointing out of the guard of his sword, under the blade.

* In ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina'', the main bad guy tries to surprise Wong with a gun hidden in his daggers. It doesn't work.

* In ''Literature/SlaughterhouseFive'', one soldier used a trench knife, which consists of brass knuckles with a knife sticking out of them. Also a RealLife weapon.

* ''Literature/MyVampireOlderSisterAndZombieLittleSister'': Taori wields a combination of an oversized, triple-bladed chainsaw and a crossbow. The chainsaw is powerful enough to cut down large trees easily, while the crossbow shoots bundles of bolts that separate after firing to bombard an area. The whole thing weighs over 70 kg, and she can only use it due to having SuperStrength.

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': On two separate occasions, both when fighting [[SuperToughness Lash]], Mack expresses his desire to own and use "a shotgun-axe combination of some sort". In the episode "Watchdogs", Mack creates a jury-rigged version by duct-taping a meat cleaver to the end of a shotgun, and by the time of the season finale he's finally crafted a proper shotgun-axe which he continues to use in later seasons. The shotgun-axe would go on to achieve such mythic status that when Mack temporarily lends it to Coulson during a fight, Coulson reacts as if Captain America had just lent him his shield. Flint [[AwesomeButImpractical questions the weapon's practicality]], pointing out that [[RealityEnsues the axe head would make the gun too heavy and hard to shoot]]. Mack takes great offense to this and immediately snaps back that it also makes it real easy to [[OffWithHisHead chop people's heads off]]. One demonstration of said head-chopping later, Flint has been converted to the righteous path and agrees that the shotgun-axe is indeed an ImpossiblyCoolWeapon. And just in case you still didn't think it was cool enough, in a later episode, Mack demonstrates that the (bearded) axe head can even rotate 180 degrees and be [[BayonetYa used as a bayonet]] for ''stabbing'' as well. It almost qualifies as a SwissArmyWeapon at this point.
* In the ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' GrandFinale, "The Final Problem", the shaft of Mycroft Holmes's ubiqutious umbrella is revealed to be a SwordCane. The handle then unscrews to become a pistol.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
** The Dwarven Urgrosh, a spear on one end and an axe on the other.
** ''TabletopGame/{{Dragonlance}}'' Kender weapons tend to provide several attack forms, tool or other utility function and a musical instrument (at least chime or bullroar). Hoopak: rod with a sling and spike at its ends acting as a shortspear, alpenstock, staff, sling staff and slingshot. Chapak: axe with prongs on the back side used as beaked prying bar or, again, slingshot arms, with haft hollowed to use as a blowgun or flute. Hachak: a poleaxe with a spike and hammer/beak on the other end, with shaft midsection detachable and hollowed to store a few darts. Battak: studded club with a spearhead at the end, useable as a sort-of-sling when the spike is removed from its slot. Bollik: bola/flail belt. Polpak: staff with a detachable short sword on the end, saw-toothed on one side. Sithak: shoulder-yoke that's weaponized by attaching blades at both ends and can be strung as a recurved bow shaft. Whippik: whip with a loop at the end making it ready to use as a dart launcher, noose or fishing pole.
** ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' Tritons has tapal as their weapon of choice. It's a crystalline piece with bent between boomerang's and fisher hook's, handle on the inside, edge on the outside and sharpened ends. Which allows the short arm to be wielded as a dagger and long arm as a short spear (when inverted), scythe or long saber (as a streamlined balanced "wing" it's the optimized for swim-by cut).
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' has quite a few of these in canon, though many of them have only one attack mode anyway. The [[BladeOnAStick Daikalbar]] is a polearm with an ungodly mess of slashy and stabby bits on both sides, though it essentially has only one combat mode with them. The Chain Daiklave, meanwhile, is actually not a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] (that's a chainklave); it's a short daiklave attached to a dire chain that can be used as a sword, a dire chain, or a [[EpicFlail sword on a chain]].

* If you like the idea of using [[Film/TheFifthElement Zorg brand weapon clusters]] in your OGL science fiction games, there is a blatant copy in the OGL supplement ''1001 Science Fiction Weapons''. You will need to be proficient in both energy and slugthrower weapons to use the General Weapon System Mark 183, which contains a shotgun, particle beam, laser, micromissiles, and grenade launcher in one single handy pod. The more advanced Mark 490 contains an X-ray laser, stun ray, plasma gun, armour-piercing force bolt, and an antimatter gun.

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS IOU}}'': Though not primarily intended as a weapon, the Po Peil Fishing Artifact (a parody of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman) is an ancient artifact made by a Precursor race that contains everything an interstellar fishing enthusiast might desire, in one compact device. This includes complex scanning equipment to determine food safety, a vast recipe database, essentially unbreakable hooks and lines, harpoon-shaped force beams and tractor beams for subduing and retrieving particularly stubborn quarry, and even a full suite of functions to terraform a world into an ocean planet and stock it with fish-like beings, should no such planet be handy . . . which is a bit inconvenient if you happen to live on the target planet. Unfortunately, its recipes (and its operating instructions) are all in a language no one has spoken or read for at least a billion years.

* The signature weapon of the ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' series is the Lancer, an assault rifle with a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw bayonet]].
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', gunblades are, as the name suggests, a combination of sword and gun. However, the gun part doesn't fire a projectile; instead, the firing mechanism sends a [[VibroWeapon shock of vibration along the blade, increasing cutting power of the weapon.]]
*** Soldiers of Esthar have a weapon that's half Pickaxe, half Shotgun.
** Gunblades reappear in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', this time transforming between a sword mode and a gun mode which ''does'' fire actual bullets.
** They also show up in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' and some of the Compilation games as weapons for the bad guys, and look totally ridiculous (shotgun katana, anyone?)
** They are also the main weapon of the Garlean Empire's forces in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' as well, here mainly being rifles with blades built along the barrel. In the expansion ''Shadowbringers'', players can also use gunblades as part of the Gunbreaker tank job. Gunbreaker gunblades function more akin to the weapons seen in ''VIII'': outside of a SwordBeam attack, Gunbreaker gunblades are strictly close-range weapons that do not fire bullets and instead [[VibroWeapon use aether cartridges to flash-heat the blade and increase its cutting power]].
* Whenever Nepgear from the ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'' transforms into Purple Sister, her default LaserBlade turns into a gunblade.
* Gunblades exist in a completely different form in ''[[VideoGame/{{Gungrave}} Gungrave Overdose]]''. They're essentially two [[KatanasAreJustBetter red katana blades]], each of which is attached to a machine pistol. They're also owned by an undead swordsman.
* The ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series:
** The gunlance, which is exactly what it sounds like. The weapon can be used to stab like a traditional lance, but can also fire explosive shells during an attack.
** ''Monster Hunter 3'' introduces the Switch Axe, [[SwissArmyWeapon an axe that can turn into a big sword]].
** ''Monster Hunter 4'' adds yet another with the Charge Blade. It's a sword and shield (the sheath is built into the shield) that can combine together into a large axe.
** Meanwhile, [[LongRangeFighter Gunners]] have access to Light and Heavy Bowguns, weapons that may look like AutomaticCrossbows at first glance, but the muzzle flashes and attachable HollywoodSilencer place them firmly in this category.
* While older models in ''VideoGame/GodEater'' where either melee or ranged, new types have a {{BFG}} turn into a {{BFS}} with shield included.
* Every weapon in ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}'' has a drastically different second firing mode, which makes the seemingly modest five-weapon arsenal much more versatile (it's even possible to combine the primary and secondary firing modes with some weapons). To wit, in ''Painkiller'' you have a weedwhacker that fires laser beams, a machine gun that shoots rockets, a grenade launcher that shoots foot-long wooden poles, and [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation of course]], a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.

* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'': swordmace, though it's [[WeaponsKitchenSink not too different]] from any other mace.

* Motonari Mori of ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors 3'' has a similar crossbow/claws/gauntlet combo.

* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' allows you to use [[DuctTapeForEverything the magic of duct tape]] to turn standard weapons, objects and doodads into zombie-slaying perfection.
* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' has Ryu's Kusari-gama, which in form is virtually identical to its [[TruthInTelevision real life counterpart]]. It consists of a small sickle, with a long chain connecting to a weight or spike attached at the hilt. Also, in a more literal interpretation of this trope, we have the Vigoorian Flail, a massive pair of sickles attached at each end by a chain, and wielded much like a set of nunchaku. When used to their fullest in combat, expect LudicrousGibs galore.
* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'':
** The hidden blade is upgraded to work not only as a hidden retractable blade for assassinations and general knifing people in a cool way, but also as a gun.
** There is also a syringe blade that injects poison on contact.
** At one point it's also upgraded with a poison dart launcher. Then ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' takes it one step further by adding the "hookblade", although it's a tool for faster climbing rather than killing people. Correct use of the hookblade in the right areas can ''significantly'' increase the speed at which you can climb.
** The Dead Kings DLC of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' has the Guillotine Gun, which is a grenade launcher combined with an axe.
** You can get a pair of gunswords in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'', if you complete all assassination tasks. They aren't any more deadly than any other pair of blades in the game, but they do provide for some unique finishing moves, such as stabbing a guy and then using a gun blast to quickly get him off the blade.
* Cervantes of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'' fame is known for DualWielding two swords with a pistol built into the hilt of the smaller blade.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has the [[EpicFlail Ivandis Flail,]] a silver sickle on a chain attached to a long rod. It IS unwieldy and is meant to be - it was devised as a weapon against mind-reading [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyres]], and, unlike all other silver weapons, works PRECISELY BECAUSE neither side knows where exactly the sickle will end up, thus not letting the vampyre perfectly dodge the strike every single time. It also is a Mix-and-Match Weapon in a different, more straight sense. Silver sickles by themselves are used as a focus for casting a certain spell, one that causes select scenery objects to produce items. The rods themselves are used for a different spell, used to hold juvenile vampyres in place. The Ivandis Flail can do both.

* One of the weapons in the online RPG ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' is a Sawed-Off Gunblade, which looks like a flintlock pistol with two two-pronged blades attached on the bottom. The normal attack is slashing, while the rare special attack is a double-barrel shot. Both do fire damage.
* The ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' mod, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rocket Crowbar]].
* The Brutes of ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' have a penchant for sticking all manner of sharp objects on their weapons, since their phenomenal strength lets them deal as much damage in melee--if not more--as a shot from one of their guns. From smallest to largest: the Mauler has a small crescent-shaped knife along the hand guard, the Spiker SMG has a pair of hatchet blades, and the eponymous Brute shot is a grenade launcher whose underside is a fusion axe/scythe nearly the length of the gun. Even their Gravity Hammers are bladed!
* ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'' presents an interesting one. A spear-tipped long-handled battleaxe, with a scythe on the opposite side. It probably wouldn't be very good, but RuleOfCool allows him to beat the unexpecting hell out of you if you aren't prepared.
* The Rangers in ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}'' use fairly conventional gunblades as their standard issue. However the title character's [[BizarreAlienBiology Energy Bon-Bon]] is stronger and so he never uses one.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', there are six possible weapon combinations, one corresponding to each main weapon.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace3'': [[PlasmaCannon Plasma gun]] not enough? Add a [[MoreDakka sub-machine gun]] to it at any [[ItemCrafting bench]]. In fact just about any two basic power supply elements can be added to one of two major frame types to create hundreds of different possible weapon combinations. Careful planning can result in some really deadly weapons.
* ''VideoGame/NaziZombies'': The map, Mob of the Dead contains the [[{{Portmanteau}} Blundergat]], combining the compactness, appearance, and spread of a blunderbuss, with multiple barrels, and the sheer power of a gatling gun. There are also only two of these available, and one must be gain via the EasterEgg, but only if one had a Blundergat in the first place.
* Lucca from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' apparently has one of these: a small mallet that also functions as a gun and a flamethrower (the last two seem to be located in the mallet's head). "Apparently" means it's not explicitly referred to in-game, but you can totally tell from the battle animations.
* The flash shooter ''VideoGame/{{Enigmata}}'' has a variant: There are three "basic" weapons, and seven "rare" weapons. After picking up a rare weapon, you have to pick up a specific common weapon to get a much stronger fusion weapon.
* In ''VideoGame/Strider2014'', [[BloodKnight Pei Pooh]] receives a set of hook swords (or some similar Chinese weapon, it seems) with built-in machine guns, which she uses for both slashing and shooting [[PlayingWithFire fireballs]].

* One of the many available weapons in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is a "saw cleaver": a blade with teeth on one side, and a clean edge on the other. This allows it to be folded in half at the hilt and used as a saw, or folded out and used as a cleaver. Other "Trick Weapons" also have the ability to change into different types of weapons. Ludwig's Holy Blade for example is a massive greatsword whose giant blade is actually a sheathe for a smaller longsword. And the Reiterpallasch is a literal gunblade, albeit more realistic, being a rapier with a pistol attached.

* While having many secondary weapons for most skills, Lance from ''{{VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy}}'' uses his gunblade for normal attacks and certain skills.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'':
** The GLA specializes in this, as their units are hopelessly outmatched by modern US or circa-1970s Chinese units:
*** The [[ActionBomb Bomb Truck]] can be loaded with high-explosives, with anthrax or, (unlike the Scud Launcher, which can switch between both with every missile launched) both at the same time, though the cost of outfitting each truck gets prohibitive.
*** Technicals, Toxin Tractors, Quad Cannons and Marauders can run over the wreckage of enemy vehicles and recycle the parts to improve their own armaments. Most dramatic for the Technicals, who go from machine gun to missile launcher and the Marauders, who eventually get a second main gun.
*** Scorpion tanks can be given a surprisingly high-damage rocket against vehicles, while their shells can contain anthrax to greatly increase their efficiency against infantry.
*** The Angry Mob is armed with scavenged pistols (which can be upgraded to [=AK47s=]), {{Molotov Cocktail}}s and ''rocks''. And yet, they are scarily good at tearing down buildings.
** The Chinese Overlord tank can equip a bunker for five soldiers, an Antiair and AntiInfantry gatling turret or a propaganda tower that slowly heals all troops around it in addition to its twin main guns. In the expansion, the Emperor comes with a turret pre-installed, leaving room for another upgrade.
** The US Humvee starts with a machine gun, but can be outfitted with a flying machine-gun-wielding Battle Drone (like all US ground vehicles), a missile launcher, and as loaded infantry fire out the windows, can fire missiles, grenades, sniper rounds...
* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': Some units have multiple types of guns mounted to deal with different targets, though only vehicles can use them simultaneously.
** Imperial Guard, SpaceMarine tanks (and their stolen ork equivalent) have a main gun and side-mounted heavy bolters/lascannons.
** Despite being an artillery piece and thus not belonging anywhere near the frontline, the Basilisk has a front-facing heavy bolter in addition to its gigantic Earthshaker cannon.
** The Tau Commander's XV-22 armor turns him into a JackOfAllStats, giving him a flamethrower against infantry that gets too close, missile launchers against structures and vehicles, and a railgun against everything, [[MoreDakka and while able to use all three at once,]] the equipment needs to be rebought if he's killed.
** Obliterators use heavy bolters against infantry, plasma guns against heavy infantry, and lascannons against vehicles and buildings, all from the same multi-barreled ArmCannon that was fused with their body.
* Several playable characters from the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' use this type of weapon.
** While Randy Orlando from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesZeroNoKiseki'' uses a stun halberd as equippable weapon, one of common choices in Crossbell Police Department, he actually has one weapon he doesn't want to use anymore because [[spoiler:[[DarkAndTroubledPast it reminded him of]] his Jaeger days]] but had to during the "Ao" part of the duology; [[spoiler:A mixture of submachine gun and blade called Berserga]]. Said weapon can be seen in his 3rd S-Craft.
** Shirley[[spoiler: Orlando]], member of a jaeger group "Red Constellation"[[spoiler: and Randy's cousin]], has an even more extreme example. She has a mixture of chainsaw, rifle ''and'' flamethrower. All of the weapon's attributes can be seen in her S-Craft.
** Fie Claussel from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' uses a pair of pistol swords (or combination of dagger and gun/pistol, your pick). Her crafts arsenal include slashing skill, gun skill or combination of both. This is advantageus since she has higher chance to unbalance enemies from the weapon covering three of four available attack types; slash, thrust and pierce, each with B proficiency.
** Nacht Weiss from ''Akatsuki no Kiseki'' uses a standard [[BayonetYa bayonet]] as his weapon.
** Juna Crawford, a character in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Trails of Cold Steel III]] uses a weapon called "Gunbreaker", a mixture of guns and tonfas. She can also change her combat style between "strike mode" (close range) and "gun mode" (long range with [=AoE=]).
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'': Kung Jin's bow can be used as a bo staff for close-quarters combat and has a dragon head decoration mounted on the top [[FireBreathingWeapon that breathes fire]].
* In ''VideoGame/ForHonor'', we get the Lawbringer and his poleaxe: a pole weapon that combines the [[AnAxeToGrind blade of an axe]], the [[BladeOnAStick point of a spear]], and the [[DropTheHammer head of a hammer]] into one weapon.
* ''VideoGame/TigerRoad'' where you are a monk that starts off armed with the "axe" weapon. This weapon is a combination of [[AnAxeToGrind double-bladed battleaxe]] and [[EpicFlail a flail with a long chain]]. The resulting "axe" weapon has a very large attack circular attack radius in a 2D game, letting it cut down enemies coming at you in all directions, as such every other weapon you pick up is actually worse than your starting axe.
* Vicious, a HeroAntagonist in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' GaidenGame ''Tales of Crestoria'', has ''pistol''-blades (which he {{Dual Wield|ing}}s, naturally), and his animations show him seamlessly switching between slashing attacks and projectile strikes.

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': Dangeresque, star of a series of home-made action movies made by Strong Bad, has his trusty Nunchuck-gun.

* ''Literature/ChaosFighters'' has quite a lot of them: sword lances (sometimes ''double ended''), blade guns (which the blades attached onto the barrels, axe halberd, pole shield and blade wands.
* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' - Linkara is a big fan of swords (or axes) that can also be guns. Since quite a few {{Sixth Ranger}}s wield them he gets to gush a lot. He does note, however, that what he likes are weapons that transform into other weapons; weapons that are two things at the same time[[note]]he cites [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII gunblades as an example]][[/note]] are silly.
* {{Parodied|Trope}} in ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'', where Giovanni's "Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction" is really just a regular wooden bat with a knife duct taped to the end that he can take off and bat at enemies, thereby harnessing "all the powers of a knife and a bat". When told that [[AwesomeButImpractical it'd be more practical to embed the knife directly through the bat]], he just scoffs that it'd ruin the bat.

* ''Webcomic/CaptainSnes'' - Alex presents poison-explosive-lightsaber-chucks.

* Starling from ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' wields some form of [[http://stormhawks.ytv.com/uploads/StarlingA2.jpg lightsaber-chucks]], although the cutting abilities are only used once, to escape from some manacles.

** Bo-rifles, traditional weapons of the Lasan Honor Guard, are capable of being rifles for distance or electrified staffs with 11,000 volts for melee. They're noted as being insanely heavy for non-lasat to wield, though the human Agent Kallus has been known to not only do so but do it one-handed. The weapon serves as Zeb's WeaponOfChoice as well as Kallus' [[spoiler: until he loses it due to the events of the season 3 finale.]]

** In ''Anime/DigimonSavers'', [=MirageGaogamon Burst Mode=] has a [[SinisterScythe scythe]] with a [[EpicFlail gigantic morningstar]]. Again, it is a stylized kusarigama.

* Red-5's [=HEP=] Cannon in ''Manga/GingaKikoutaiMajesticPrince''. It can serve as a [[MoreDakka rapid fire rifle]], a WaveMotionTuningFork with [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw on each prong]], and can even lay SpaceMines!

* ''Fanfic/FourDeadlySecrets'': It is a {{WebAnimation/RWBY}} fic, after all.

** The Dead Kings DLC of ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' has the Guillotine Gun, which is a grenade launcher combined with an axe.

** While Randy Orlando from ''VideoGame/ZeroNoKiseki'' uses a atun halberd as equippable weapon, one of common choices in Crossbell Police Department, he actually has one weapon he doesn't want to use anymore because [[spoiler:[[DarkAndTroubledPast it reminded him of]] his Jaeger days]] but had to during the "Ao" part of the duology; [[spoiler:A mixture of submachine gun and blade called Berserga]]. Said weapon can be seen in his 3rd S-Craft.

* ''FanFic/FourDeadlySecrets'': It is a {{WebAnimation/RWBY}} fic, after all.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''

* The ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series

* While older models in ''VideoGame/{{God Eater}}'' where either melee or ranged, new types have a {{BFG}} turn into a {{BFS}} with shield included.

** Matt Helms has a fire axe/flamethrower. As a transforming weapon, Nathan Copeland has mechanical arms / ''boombox rocket launcher''. Creator/Suda51 was so disappointed that he had to take Nathan out of the first VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes that he was the first boss worked into the second.

* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII''

** ''Perfect Dark''[='=]s most (in)famous weapon, the alien [=FarSight=] XR-20, combines a OneHitKill sniper rifle with a target-seeking X-ray scanner.

* The flash shooter ''{{VideoGame/Enigmata}}'' has a variant: There are three "basic" weapons, and seven "rare" weapons. After picking up a rare weapon, you have to pick up a specific common weapon to get a much stronger fusion weapon.

* ''{{VideoGame/Warframe}}'' has a fondness for exotic weapons, so it's not surprising that quite a few of these pop up.

*** The Angry Mob is armed with scavenged pistols (which can be upgraded to [=AK47s=]), MolotovCocktails and ''rocks''. And yet, they are scarily good at tearing down buildings.

* Several playable characters from VideoGame/KisekiSeries use this type of weapon.
** While Randy Orlando from VideoGame/ZeroNoKiseki uses a atun halberd as equippable weapon, one of common choices in Crossbell Police Department, he actually has one weapon he doesn't want to use anymore because [[spoiler:[[DarkAndTroubledPast it reminded him of]] [[his Jaeger days]] but had to during the "Ao" part of the duology; [[spoiler:A mixture of submachine gun and blade called Berserga]].

This is advantageus since she has higher chance to unbalance enemies from the weapon covering three of four available attack types; slash, thrust and pierce, each with B proficiency.

** Juna Crawford, a character in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Trails of Cold Steel III]] uses a weapon called "Gunbreaker", a mixture of guns and tonfas. She can also change her combat style between "strike mode" (close range) and "gun mode" (long range with AoE).
