16	->'''Tank:''' All right, what do you need, besides a miracle?\
17	'''Neo:''' Guns. Lots of guns.
18	-->-- ''Film/TheMatrix''

20	How do you show that someone is a GunNut, BladeEnthusiast, a CrazySurvivalist, an ArmsDealer, or just plain needs to be taken seriously? One simple and easy method is to show them with an ''enormous'' collection of weapons. This can range from a literal wall covered with weapons, to a pile of various weapons laid out on a table or floor, to a shot displaying an arsenal of guns and other weaponry on their person. Generally, any shot or scene displaying an enormous range of firepower, intended to show how well-armed and/or CrazyPrepared a person or group is, fits under this trope. Note that there will rarely be any sign of sufficient quantities of ammo to load all of these marvelous toys. Any properly equipped SuperMultipurposeRoom will have at least one of these in one of the secret compartments.
21
22	On the other hand, sometimes these weapons may just be there for show. For example, in a modern setting, a collector of pre-industrial weapons is likely to be some variety of nerd or {{geek}} -- perhaps an antiquarian AbsentMindedProfessor with a passion for historical artefacts, or a BasementDweller trying to look badass. In the case of a BasementDweller, the weapons in question tend to be cheap replicas, often obtained from [[HonestJohnsDealership dubious sources]] (who might be peddling their wares at the local flea market or RenaissanceFair) and/or ostensibly UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese in origin. If antique weapons end up being used anyway, that's BreakOutTheMuseumPiece.
23
24	May be tied in with a LockAndLoadMontage. Compare and contrast HyperspaceArsenal and ExtendedDisarming. Usually seen in a SurvivalistStash as part of the supplies. Can overlap with GunPorn.

29	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
30	* The Catians [[https://antiotaku.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/asobi0609.png create one of these]] for Manami in episode 6 of ''Literature/CatPlanetCuties''.
31	* In ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'', amnesiac Akira Takizawa is [[AmnesiacDissonance none too happy]] to discover that his temporary establishment in Washington DC has one of these in the closet.
32	* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl: Il Teatrino''. Pinnochio has one from which he selects a couple of vz61 Skorpions for Franco and Franca.
33	* In one of the anime installments of ''Manga/GunsmithCats'', Rally has one of these in her house. Burglars think they can help themselves. Rally's response when the alarm trips is... eager. After the smoke clears, ATF Agent William Collins quite smugly forces Rally to help him on a case by [[ShameIfSomethingHappened casually mentioning that he can order her whole collection to be confiscated and destroyed]].
34	** In the manga, it isn't so much a Wall of Weapons as it is a Closet of Weapons (Including the inside of both doors), but it's still there.
35	** Bean Bandit has one too, although it's all knives.
36	* Homura from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' is already notable for using her MagicalGirl HyperspaceArsenal to carry around not only [[SuperheroPackingHeat guns]], but ''military ordnance''. But then along comes the finale, when she finds herself [[spoiler:facing Walpurgisnacht alone]], and we get a look at [[http://images.puella-magi.net/4/49/Homura_Heavy_Weapons_Kata.jpg just how much stuff she actually has]]. And that image is only a fraction of it. [[spoiler:[[CosmicHorrorStory And the really scary part]]? ''[[NighInvulnerable None of it]] [[TheWorfBarrage does jack to Walpurgisnacht]]''.]]
37	* A weird example can be found in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' with [[spoiler: Mizore's mother]], who keeps a small weapons cache (including what appears to be an assault rifle) hidden ''behind a bookshelf'' which shocked the other characters when they saw it. She mentions she always wanted be a spy when she was little and took up gun collecting as a side hobby.
38	** Later in the manga, recently-introduced character Fong-Fong of the [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Wong family]] apparently keeps assault rifles, handguns, and dynamite on the wall in the kitchen. Given that he's the heir of the biggest and baddest youkai gang in Hong Kong and the family house is like a castle, it makes a little more sense.
39	[[/folder]]
40
41	[[folder:Comic Books]]
42	* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'', although there [[DoesNotLikeGuns obviously aren't any guns]] on the wall.
43	** Taken to its logical conclusion when one issue showed him opening up his wall of weapons and having a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek "travel machine"]] in there... ''[[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wG2FbXoklgY/Tj2_Y-wow5I/AAAAAAAAAVI/NITc_NuMCeE/s640/batman_has_dalek.jpg just in case]]''.
44	** Except for the ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'' version, who had machine guns in there.
45	* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules'': During the "Assault on New Olympus" arc, we see part of Ares' collection. Among dozens of handguns, rifles and grenades there are also several movie [[ShoutOut shout-outs]] such as the sword from [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 Conan The Barbarian]], a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]] and the [[ChainsawGripBFG minigun]] from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.
46	* Many safehouses of ComicBook/ThePunisher have walls covered with weapons.
47	* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': Tim Drake chose his signature weapons--a sling and a bo staff--from two of these. The first was given to him by an old man and his apprentice Bruce sent him to train, the second came from Lady Shiva. Both times, they were disappointed that Tim didn't choose a more lethal weapon (even though a sling is an excellent way of killing people).
48	* In the ''ComicBook/XMen'' ''ComicBook/XCutionersSong'', there's a scene where ComicBook/{{Cable}} enters one of his many safehouses to replenish his weaponry. On the wall are dozens of futuristic guns (which, given his origin, actually ''are'' from the future), many of them even larger than he is. Naturally, Cable grabs ''all of them''.
49	[[/folder]]

51	[[folder:Fan Works]]
52	* Most Assassins in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' tend to this way of thinking. Well. as they point out, a working professional needs ''somewhere'' to keep their working tools. In the writings of Creator/AAPessimal, Johanna Smith-Rhodes, now in her marital home, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11536013/5/Hyperemesis-gravidarum perhaps takes it further than most]]. And as of current writing, a member of her BadassFamily is [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12321109/4/Gap-Year-Adventures adding to the collection]] and perhaps necessitating opening a new room, as Johanna appears to be running out of walls.
53	* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'':
54	** The Hunter has a wall of [[MixAndMatchWeapon Trick Weapons]] in his Workshop of the Hunter's Dream, all of them scavenged during his time in Yharnam, emphasising his mastery over weaponry and combat.
55	** Chapter 15 of the original features an arms shed in Tarsus, an old mining town, with racks of weapons inside. Kyril then begins to distribute the new weaponry to his company to ensure they are well prepared, fully armed and all.
56	[[/folder]]
57
58	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
59	* ''Film/TheAccountant2016''. The title character keeps his weapons neatly racked (as befits his obsessive-compulsive nature) in a locked room of the mobile home trailer he keeps in a storage shed, along with his portable wealth and anything else he truly values, all ready to be [[CrazyPrepared hitched to a vehicle and be on his way in minutes.]] The federal agents searching his fixed abode are more impressed by the minigun he has hanging from a ceiling mount in case of unwelcome intruders.
60	* An AnachronismStew version appears in ''Film/AngelsAndDemons'' with the Swiss Guard armoury, where modern assault rifles are racked next to medieval halberds and crossbows. (TruthInTelevision: the ceremonial Papal guards in period costume are accompanied by less conspicuous colleagues armed with modern weapons.)
61	* ''Film/{{The Art of War}}'' (2000). After finding a fellow agent tortured and murdered in her apartment, Wesley's Snipes character ponders the broken wall mirror from where she had her head smashed into the glass, breaks another mirror panel with his pistol and removes weapons and equipment from behind it.
62	* Rosewood uses this in ''Film/BeverlyHillsCopII'' to show he's no longer as much of a dweeb as he was in the [[Film/BeverlyHillsCop previous film]]. "You can never have too much firepower."
63	* ''Film/TheBigHit''. Melvin has a wall of weapons concealed behind his tool display in his garage that he takes from towards the end of the film.
64	* Blade in the ''Film/BladeTrilogy'' has an anti-vampire wall of weapons in all his safe houses. The Night Stalkers in the third film have one as well.
65	* Subverted in ''Film/BirdsOfPrey2020''. At the Booby Trap funhouse, Harley Quinn assures the other women they'll be well protected from the incoming army, indicating a closet with The Joker's secret stash of guns. She opens the doors... and the wardrobe is empty. All the rifles and ammo have been taken. Fortunately Dinah finds a chest with other weapons, though most of them are significantly less lethal than guns.
66	* ''Film/TheBookOfEli'': When the titular protagonist is confronted by the bad guy at a house, the old couple living in the house shows him the weapons they had been collecting hidden underneath the sofa.
67	* ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'' features a Basement Room of Weapons, up to and including a [=DShK=] heavy machinegun. Curiously, a pair of pimptastic Desert Eagles (and gold watches, a pager, and two moneyclips full of large denomination bills) is sufficient payment for a whole duffel bag of guns.
68	** It looks like all they took were four suppressed Beretta 92s (and ''maybe'' a Franchi [=PA3=]), a knife and some rope, since we never see them use anything else.
69	** ''Film/TheBoondockSaintsIIAllSaintsDay'' has the [=McManus=] boys return to the same dealer and trade in their old 92s for two pairs of .357 magnum Desert Eagles, but by this point, the proprietor of the "shop" is a big fan of their work and offers the upgrade on the house.
70	* In ''Film/{{Commando}}'' Arnie robs an army surplus store for the material for his LockAndLoadMontage, as well as a hidden gun room with weapons covering the walls which include water-cooled machine guns and claymore mines. A smaller example is the cubby-hole full of guns in his home's toolshed that he uses when it's attacked in the first act.
71	* ''Film/CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon''. Yu Shu Lien is using a wall of weapons to try to defeat Jen Yu who wields the legendary sword Green Destiny.
72	* In ''Film/TheCrow'', [[BigBad Top Dollar]] pulls his katana from a pleasantly mounted wall-cabinet full of wonderful toys.
73	* ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978''. Part of outfitting their fancy apartment on the upper floor of the shopping mall includes installing a row of rifle racks on one wall.
74	* ''Film/DeathSentence''. Bones has one in the form of a concealed gun safe which he uses to store his black market firearms.
75	-->'''Bones:''' Fear is for the enemy. Fear and bullets. ''(activates a catch which he uses to swing open the wall, which is actually the door to a large gun safe)'' Lots of fucking bullets.
76	* ''Film/{{Dredd}}'': When Judge Dredd finally confronts Ma-Ma face-to-face, she's standing with her back to a wall hung with weapons and battle trophies taken from previous gang wars. In a subversion she doesn't use any of these weapons, but a DeadMansSwitch attached to her arm.
77	* In ''Film/FallingDown'', the main character Will Foster falls into possession of a duffel bag brimming with automatic weapons, and is a menace for the rest of the movie.
78	* ''Film/{{Faster}}''. Lily is shown packing weapons for her ProfessionalKiller boyfriend from a wall of weapons inside a locked wallsafe, ranging from knives to a sniper rifle.
79	* ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'': Col. Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) has a rolled up blanket on his horse, which is unrolled early in the movie to reveal a large number of rifles and pistols.
80	* ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' - Jason acknowledges that variety is the spice of life in ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood Part VII]]''. As well as in the Universal Studios attraction, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eirio4qT6B8 here]].
81	* ''Film/FutureWar'' has a rather anemic one in the police station (with a whopping three weapons) which the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] crew mocks.
82	--> '''Mike''': "The [=LAPD=] gun closet."
83	* ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation''. Our heroes go to RetiredBadass Joe Coulton for help. He proceeds to open the cabinets of his kitchen to reveal an arsenal of weaponry (including grenades in the fruit bowl). Though that doesn't explain why we don't hear the cutlery crashing to the floor when the drawers are lifted up.
84	* ''Film/HardcoreHenry:'' When Yuri and his men arrive at Jimmy's base, Jimmy takes control of his World War II veteran avatar and reveals a secret panel of absolute firepower, and tells Henry he can take whatever he wants besides the [[http://www.imfdb.org/images/1/18/Hardcore-PPSh41.jpg PPSh-41]], which only he's allowed to wield.
85	* ''Film/TheHeat'': Mullins keeps a ''fridge'' of weapons in her apartment complete with ''grenades''.
86	* In ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', Connor [=MacLeod=] has one, which serves as his TrophyRoom too.
87	* ''Film/HotFuzz'' plays with this: The evidence room for the police station is completely empty and the room containing the emergency response gear is covered with cobwebs. Later, after Angel raids a farmer's enormous Barn of Weapons, they're stored in the police station, until Angel returns for a LockAndLoadMontage.
88	* ''Film/JackbootsOnWhitehall''. UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill has one of these in 10 Downing Street, giving him a chance to demonstrate that RankScalesWithAsskicking.
89	* ''Film/JohnWickChapter2''. John Wick selects his weapons for an upcoming kill from The Sommelier, who has racks of both wines and weaponry, leading to an amusing scene [[GunPorn where he recommends weapons]] like [[SommelierSpeak he would wines for a social event]].
90	* ''Film/JohnWickChapter3Parabellum''. There's a moment of BlackComedy when John Wick is fighting hand-to-hand with several assassins in an antique museum, and both sides suddenly realise they're standing in a corridor formed by long display cabinets of edged weaponry. Cue everyone repeatedly smashing the glass to [[BreakOutTheMuseumPiece grab knives or hatchets to attack each other with]]. Played straight with the requisite LockAndLoadMontage in the panic room of the Continental Hotel, the walls of which are lined by weapons ancient and modern.
91	* In ''Film/KickAss'' Big Daddy and Hit Girl's safehouse has every wall covered in high-powered firearms, including mini-gatlings and a rocket launcher.
92	* Captain Englehorn in Peter Jackson's ''Film/KingKong2005'' not only has a rack of rifles on the wall of his ship's cabin, but also keeps a stash of Thompson submachine guns ''under his bed''.
93	* ''Film/LayerCake'': Gene is a gun fanatic and has a cabinet with guns on display.
94	* ''Film/LordOfWar'' has a small one of these inside Yuri's shipping container, right next to the multiple passports.
95	* In ''Film/TheManWhoCouldWorkMiracles'', Colonel Winstanley has an entire room decked out in weaponry from around the world: souvenirs of his career as a soldier. At TheVicar's urging, Fotheringay transforms them all into agricultural equipment.
96	* ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' franchise:
97	** ''Film/TheMatrix'' (original): Tank sends Neo, at his request, "guns, lots of guns" so he and Trinity can prepare their RoaringRampageOfRescue to save Morpheus. The weapon catalogue is more like a mall of weapons.
98	** ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'': Displayed when Neo and the Merovingian's hitmen start looting the wall of weapons in his castle during their fight.
99	* ''Film/MenInBlack'' has an impressive wall of impossible sci-fi superweapons in the form of Jeebs' Jewelery.
100	* ''Film/MenInBlackII'' has a wall of weapons stashed behind the wall of Agent Kay's old apartment. It comes in handy for the heroes when they are stuck outside of MIB headquarters.
101	* ''Film/MercenariesFromHongKong'' opens with the protagonist, a RetiredBadass ex-soldier, working out before changing clothes... with a huge stack of rifles and swords adorning the back of his closet.
102	* ''Film/{{Mitchell}}'' has a burglar shot by the homeowner while standing near a gun cabinet fully stocked with weapons. However, Mitchell notices that all of the guns in the cabinet except for one lying near the corpse were unloaded, and the burglar wasn't tall enough to reach said gun - leading Mitchell to think that it was a murder instead of a burglary.
103	* ''Film/MrAndMrsSmith2005'': Both Smiths have walls of weapons in their own house, hidden from each other.
104	* In ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'':
105	** Rick is frequently shown to have numerous guns nearby at all times, in case he has to blow off some mummy's head. This habit leads to this exchange in the [[Film/TheMummyReturns second movie]]: "You want the shotgun?" "Actually, I prefer the Thompson."
106	** In the [[Film/TheMummy1999 first movie]], during the boat voyage down the Nile, Rick startles Evy when he thunks down a heavy duffle bag right in front of her, then unrolls it to reveal that the duffle is stuffed with weapons.
107	* In ''Film/PineappleExpress'', Red literally has weapons on the wall.
108	* A different version in ''Film/{{Red 2}}''. The Hong Kong hitman hired to kill the protagonist has all his weapons laid out for him on the bed. Even then it's not enough and he requests [[GatlingGood something more painful]].
109	* ''Film/TheSuicideSquad''. Harley Quinn and President Luna have WallBangHer sex which breaks his cabinet of ornate firearms. [[spoiler:Including the literal ChekhovsGun she uses to shoot him with afterwards. She's surprised he keeps them loaded.]]
110	* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'':
111	** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' has Sarah Connor with an underground cache of weapons hidden in the desert. Not that we need convincing she's a badass by this point in the film. John Connor mentions this as well--"One thing about my mom... she always plans ahead."
112	** ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' has Sarah Connor with a weapon cache ''in her coffin (she isn't in it). This moves into CrazyPrepared territory.
113	** ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' also has Sarah keep concealed weapons scattered around the house, such as a shotgun hidden behind wallpaper, and a huge trunk of rifles and shotguns under everyone's respective beds. And the furniture is lined with ''kevlar''.
114	** ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' also has young Sarah with this in the truck she uses to rescue the male hero, as well as the requisite weapons stashes she keeps ready for Judgement Day.
115	** ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate''. Despite having [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming retired from the Terminator business]], Carl keeps a gunroom lined with weapons. He justifies it by saying that even without a RobotWar there is a [[InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves high probability of societal collapse]] and the weapons are necessary to [[HumanityEnsues protect his family]]. And as he also points out, they're living in Texas.
116	* Burt's basement in ''Film/{{Tremors}}'' features a literal Wall of Weapons, which [[BattleCouple he and his wife]] use to devastating effect when a Graboid breaks through the wall opposite.
117	-->'''Burt:''' [[LargeHam BROKE INTO THE WRONG GODDAMN REC ROOM]], ''[[LargeHam DIDN'T YOU]]'', [[LargeHam YOU BASTARD!!]]
118	* In ''Film/Tremors2Aftershocks'', Burt's wall of weapons is shown again, and later, he rolls in a ''massive'' truck loaded with double rifles and a huge [[NoKillLikeOverkill anti-tank rifle]], plus enough explosives to level four city blocks. And he uses it. [[ChekhovsArmory All of it,]] although it wasn't exactly his idea. Even he eventually runs out of firepower, but then goes on to state that he was expecting weapons requiring penetration, not predicting the need for full-auto.
119	--> '''Burt''' (Leaning against the side of his battered, gore-splattered truck): I am ''completely'' out of ammo! ''[[{{Beat}} pauses for a moment]]'' That's never happened to me before.
120	* ''Film/Underworld2003'' features a wall of anti-lycan weaponry for use by Deathdealers. One also turns up in the first sequel, ''Film/UnderworldEvolution''.
121	* ''Film/{{Watchmen}}''. While searching the apartment of a murder victim for clues, Rorschach suddenly realises the deceased is none other than fellow masked vigilante The Comedian. It doesn't take Rorschach long to find the secret panel behind the closet which retracts to reveal the Comedian's weapons, equipment and ShrineToSelf.
122	* In the first ''Film/WaynesWorld'' film, Wayne averts this trope after getting a present from [[TheOphelia psycho-hose-beast]] Stacey.
123	-->'''Stacey''': "It's a gun rack!"
124	-->'''Wayne''': "A gun rack? A gun rack? Shyeah right. I don't even own ''a'' gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack! What am I gonna do with a gun rack?"
125	* In ''Film/WhenEightBellsToll'', our hero Phillip Calvert climbs a cliff to the ancestral castle being used as a base by RuthlessModernPirates, takes a crossbow off a wall of medieval weapons and uses it to shoot a guard and take his rifle. Given that the pirates are holding several people hostage in the castle, including the owner, one wonders why the pirates didn't secure these weapons in case their captives tried to use them. Or why Calvert didn't just bring a silenced firearm with him.
126	* Film/XMenFilmSeries
127	** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Young Erik Lehnsherr meets Dr. Klaus Schmidt in his [[WickedCultured wood-paneled office filled with books and antiques]], then a reverse shot reveals the opposite wall is made of glass, leading into a white-painted surgery lined with sinister instruments. Unfortunately, Erik's powers aren't controlled enough to use these as actual weapons; they all get thrown harmlessly against the glass.
128	** In ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' an adult Lehnsherr uses his powers to deploy the automatic rifles lining both sides of the guard carriage on a prison train (there seem to be [[FridgeLogic more weapons than there are guards]]) against Vuk [[ShootingSuperman to no avail]].
129	* The first ''[[Film/XxX xXx]]'' movie flips the usual wall of weapons on its side to give us a ''tabletop'' of weapons.
130	-->'''Xander:''' I want all of ''this'' (pointing at table covered in guns, rocket launchers, and other assorted objects of mayhem)... in ''there'' (pointing at [[WeaponizedCar car]]).
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Literature]]
134	* A highly overpowered disposable assault weapon forms a key part of the climax of Creator/WilliamGibson 's ''Literature/AllTomorrowsParties''. It's hidden inside a wall, which has been plastered over.
135	* Many examples in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': Harry's apartment/lab, Thomas' spare bedroom / gun lab, and the storage areas at Monoc Securities' headquarters. The Monoc headquarters deserves special mention for containing ''multiple floors'' of armories, stocked with everything from sharp sticks to state-of-the-art anti-tank weaponry, and enough of each to outfit a small army. Monoc's [=CEO=] does not believe in getting caught with his pants down.
136	* In R.A. Salvatore's ''[[Literature/TheLegendOfDrizzt Drizzt Do'Urden]]'' novels, when Zaknafein is beginning his teaching of Drizzt and reveals a massive wall armory, telling him to take his pick and find out which ones he prefers.
137	* ''Literature/{{Duumvirate}}'' takes this trope and goes nuts. In the first book, it's just a room full of weapons. In the second book, they have weapons embedded in literally every wall in the house, as well as an underground Walmart of guns, flamethrowers, and lasers.
138	--> '''Narrator:''' The child-sized weapons were helpfully placed on the bottom shelf, so kids wouldn't have to climb to reach them.
139	* Roarke in the ''Literature/InDeath'' series has a very extensive collection of weapons from the medieval to the modern. In his case it's less an indication of being CrazyPrepared and more another way to demonstrate his membership in the {{Fiction 500}}, but he does demonstrate his proficiency with several of the firearms all the same.
140	* In the ''Literature/KittyNorville'' series, [[TheGunslinger hired gun]] Cormac has an entire shed full of weapons specifically designed to kill werewolves and vampires.
141	* ''Literature/TheLaundryFiles'' (by Creator/CharlesStross): ''The Nightmare Stacks'' has the Laundry setting up a regional headquarters in Leeds, which turns out to be on the front line of an invasion from an alternate reality. However one advantage is that the Leeds Armoury is there (see Real Life). The eponymous Nightmare Stacks are a secret arsenal within the Armoury containing weapons for fighting the supernatural.
142	* Subverted in the Creator/GordonRDickson novel ''Literature/LostDorsai'': the eponymous hero has a wall of musical instruments displayed ''as if they were weapons'', which convinces the narrator that he truly has become a pacifist.
143	* The first secret anarchist hideout in Creator/GKChesterton's ''Literature/TheManWhoWasThursday'' has weapons on every single wall -- guns in the outer passageways, bombs in the central chamber.
144	* The interior of the manor house from ''[[Literature/GarrettPI Old Tin Sorrows]]'' was decorated in this trope.
145	* The sci-fi novel ''Literature/RevelationSpace'' by Creator/AlastairReynolds. The brobdingnagian spaceship ''Nostalgia for Infinity'' has a warchive containing examples of over four million hand weapons -- spanning twelve centuries of gunsmithing from blunderbuss to plasma rifle. And if that isn't sufficient, the warchive can sift its blueprints and custom-design and build a weapon for your exact needs in minutes. The only drawback is its simpering artificial persona, which causes the heroine to [[ShootTheTelevision empty her gun into the warchive]] once she's got the weapons she wants.
146	* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Mara Jade Skywalker kept a wall of weapons on her personal starship back when she was an [[ProfessionalKiller assassin]], as shown in her eponymous comic mini-series. It's heavily implied in the ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'' series (grown into an ActionMom by this point) that she still keeps weapons and other such equipment hidden around her family's apartment in case there's a need to go MamaBear, as there's a scene in ''Sacrifice'' where she's preparing such equipment, with Luke half-surprised that she managed to hide some of this stuff from him for all this time (although he probably just didn't bother to look out of respect for privacy).
147	** Star Wars novel ''Fatal Alliance'' describes the storeroom of a Republic Warship. It's not quite as big as Larin Moxla imagines at first glance, but the sight of so much clean armor, weapons and ammunition is enough to almost make her weep.
148	* The cover art for ''[[Literature/MasqueradeOfTheRedDeath The Unbeholden]]'' shows a major character standing in front of his wall of weapons. From the descriptions in the book, the cover artist shortchanged that character big time.
149	[[/folder]]

151	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
152	* When Michael Vaughn goes to Jack Bristow for help in ''Series/{{Alias}}'', Bristow shows him his underground bunker, where every available surface is covered in guns and other assorted weapons.
153	* ''Series/AlteredCarbon''.
154	** The BlackMarket ArmsDealer Takeshi and Vernon buy their handguns from has one, however Vernon rejects it all as junk he's trying to offload--the better items are stored separately.
155	** Reileen has edged weapons on the walls of her apartment, but there's only one firearm [[ProperlyParanoid which she makes sure is in her possession]].
156	* ''Series/AmericanGuns'' is filmed in a gun store, so [[JustifiedTrope this is to be expected]].
157	** Some of the customers Rich visits to purchase guns from have these in their homes on occasion as well.
158	* ''Series/{{Angel}}'' keeps a cabinet full of many different weapons, ranging from swords and crossbows to a sharpened baseball bat. In Season 5 he starts keeping what is probably an entirely different set on the wall of his CEO office at Wolfram & Hart.
159	-->'''Angel:''' You think I should keep these alphabetical, or rearrange them by how much damage they inflict?
160	-->'''Lorne:''' Damage. Nomenclature goes out the portal when hacking's afoot.
161	-->'''Angel:''' Still, good to know what you're using. I mean, what if I'm fighting a Glurgg, and I ask for a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khopesh khopesh]] to finish him off. What would you [[GiveMeASword throw me?]]
162	-->'''Lorne:''' Uh, a towel. [[CoveredInGunge Glurggs are 90% pus.]]
163	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
164	** Buffy has one, too, in her training room at the Magic Box (after Willow turns evil, she uses them as a FlechetteStorm with her telekinetic powers). Before this, her Watcher kept them in a cabinet inside the cage holding the restricted book section of the school library.
165	-->'''Xander:''' Good old Sunnydale library. Fully equipped with reference books, file cards... (opens the cabinet doors) and weapons.
166	** Principal Wood has one too, in his office at the new Sunnydale High. In one episode, Wood lures a vampire [[spoiler: Spike, who he swears revenge against since he killed his mother]] into a shed that has a solid four Walls Of...Crucifixes - to a vampire, it's like a wall of branding irons.
167	* The BodyOfTheWeek on one episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' was a [[GunNut gun collector]] who had ''three'' walls of weapons in his basement. Organized chronologically and by theatre, no less. Surprisingly, the gun that killed him, [[spoiler:an FN P90 stolen from US forces in Pakistan]], wasn't one of them.
168	* ''Series/DowntonAbbey'': Lord Flintshire has not only a wall but a ''room'' of rifles, swords, and axes.
169	* ''Series/TheEqualizer''. Secret agent turned vigilante Robert [=McCall=] is shown to have one of these hidden behind a tool board in his apartment.
170	* The ''Series/{{Eureka}}'' sheriff's office has a column of weapons that comes down out of the ceiling. For the first few episodes Deputy Jo wouldn't let the new sheriff have access to the remote that controlled it, because he kept flunking the test about what all the weapons were, and what they could do. (In this case anything less than a perfect score was a failure.)
171	* Jayne Cobb of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' has a wall covered with weapons behind his bunk. In the season/series finale, [[spoiler:when he's sleeping, hears what are obviously (to the viewer) fighting noises, sits halfway up, pulls down the cloth covering this wall, heroic music begins to swell... then pulls the cloth over himself as a blanket and goes back to sleep.]]
172	--> '''Jayne:''' ''(to Book)'' [[spoiler:At least you got some play; I missed every damn thing.]]
173	* In Season 4 of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', the White Sword Tower - quarters of the [[PraetorianGuard Kingsguard]]. Also the chamber of the Hand, including a ChekhovsGun in the original sense [[spoiler: when the crossbow hanging on the wall is used by Tyrion to kill his father.]]
174	* In an episode of ''Series/{{House}}'', the PatientOfTheWeek has an entire ''room'' of guns, hidden inside a false wall between his kitchen and his dining room, that his wife didn't even know about. Turns out he was extremely paranoid about an impending apocalypse.
175	* ''Series/HumanTarget'' has the apartment of the main character festooned with hidden weapons everywhere.
176	* In the first episode of ''Series/TheMandalorian'', a bounty is looking around the title character's spaceship for a means of escape and discovers this trope. Having [[BatmanColdOpen already witnessed first hand that his captor is not to be messed with]], he quickly seals it shut again rather than steal a weapon.
177	* One episode of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' has the VictimOfTheWeek turn out to be leading a double life. One as an Armed Forces Network entertainment coordinator, the other as a SecretAgent with a container much like the one in ''Film/LordOfWar''. Complete with ShoutOut, courtesy of one of the team.
178	* In ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' Hedy seems to have a whole room of weaponry including a crossbow, several shuriken and a combat shotgun that's as big as she is.
179	* ''Series/PersonOfInterest''.
180	** In "Bury the Lede", Finch [[ClosetShuffle ducks into a closet]] when Reese brings a woman home, only to find the closet is lined with everything from assault rifles to grenade launchers.
181	-->'''Finch:''' When are you ''ever'' going to need all those?
182	** After over a year of regularly robbing arms dealers of their inventory, John Reese's gun collection. His partner Sameen Shaw keeps a similar if smaller stash in her refrigerator, the only food being a jug of milk. Given that he saw 'nothing out of the ordinary' in this, Reese might be in the habit of doing the same thing himself.
183	** Yet Elias manages to top even these two. When he's gearing up for war with the Brotherhood, the crime boss has Reese meet him in an (apparently legitimate) armory on Madison Avenue.
184	* ''Series/SonsOfGuns'': Will's office has 3/4 of the walls covered with guns, and the last 1/4 is only missing guns because that wall is mostly a window. It's also the background used for the crew's individual testimonials.
185	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
186	** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
187	*** The ''Film/JamesBond'' ParodyEpisode "Our Man Bashir" features a rack of rifles behind a rotating mirrorstand.
188	*** When Gowron holds a strategy meeting in a station conference room near the end of the series, some forward-thinking Klingon apparently decided to cover one wall with bat'leths just in case a DuelToTheDeath broke out. (Which it does.)
189	** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In "Author, Author", the EMH writes an anvilicious holonovel where the crew have [[TookALevelInJerkass Taken Levels in Jerkass]]. Captain Janeway now has a wall of flintlocks and alien weaponry on the wall of her quarters, and brandishes one to threaten the player character.
190	** Likewise in the MirrorUniverse episode of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', Evil!Archer keeps antique weaponry on the wall of his captain's quarters, including the [[AlternateHistory shotgun used by Zephram Cochrane to kill]] the Vulcan making FirstContact, sorry...[[WrittenByTheWinners launching an]] AlienInvasion.
191	** ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery:'' Lorca has a whole ''room'' full of weapons that he describes as a "private laboratory." It may or may not also be a RoomFullOfCrazy.
192	* In ''Series/TheStrain'', Abraham Setrackian, as part of his preparation for a vampire apocalypse, keeps an assortment of guns and blades mounted on a wall in the basement of his pawn shop.
193	* In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' all hunters have a hidden wall of weapons in their home, vehicle, or house of worship. Sam and Dean are the exception, having only a trunkfull of weapons. Until Season 8 when they take up residence in the headquarters of the Men of Letters. Having never had a room of his own before, Dean immediately sets it up to his taste, including all his weapons racked on the walls.
194	* The TitleSequence of ''Series/SWAT1975'' opens with TheSquad jogging in lockstep to their racked AR-15's and sniper rifles before leaping into a van.
195	* In ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', Sarah keeps concealed weapons scattered around the house, such as a shotgun hidden behind wallpaper, and a huge trunk of rifles and shotguns under everyone's respective beds. And the furniture is lined with kevlar.
196	* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': Torchwood Cardiff has assault rifles racked on the glass interior walls (including several [[FridgeLogic above easy reach]]).
197	* ''Series/TheWildWildWest'' has one on board the CoolTrain used by Agents West and Gordon.

200	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
201	* ''TabletopGame/HoylesRulesOfDragonPoker''
202	-->102. If the game room has weapons on display, St. George's replace Elves.
203	[[/folder]]
204
205	[[folder:Video Games]]
206	* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': The multiple weapons shops located in various locations have an array of pistols, rifles, and swords on display upon the wall. The Consortium's weapons room also has this, which is where Ann picks up the [[WaveMotionGun Stormram]].
207	* Most ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' games have an armory where the weapons you had bought are on display, some of them being mounted on the walls.
208	* ''VideoGame/{{Black}}'' does this in one of it's promotional posters, depicting a whole wall mounted with all the firearms you can use in the game.
209	* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'':
210	** ''VideoGame/Borderlands1'': While the main game doesn't have any of these, two of the [[DownloadableContent DLC packs]] do.
211	*** The Claptrap's Robot Revolution [=DLC=] features a basement with dozens of different weapons chests filled with every kind of gun you might want to have in the game.
212	*** The final story mission in the Secret Armory of General Knoxx [=DLC=] features an epic room filled with possibly hundreds of weapons chests.
213	** ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'':
214	*** There are unique [[PlayerHeadquarters cabins]] for the 4 player characters aboard the [[CoolStarship Sanctuary III]]. Located within is the bank for storing all your gear, and mounts along the opposite wall where you can play any kind of equippable gear in the fitting slot. If you want to show off some of your favorite weapons and personalize your cabin, this is a great way to do it.
215	*** Later, the game got the Diamond Loot Room aboard the ship, where a very rare and very limited Diamond Key can be spent to unveil three walls of high quality gear! However, you can only take one item (a weapon, a shield, and a grenade mod) from each wall, and after making your choices, the walls close up. You get one last piece from the console in the middle of the room. [[MundaneMadeAwesome It's given a rather fitting and spectacular presentation]], with new music playing in that room only and a timer counting down how much time you have left before the walls close up again. Compared to the Golden Chest, there's a lot more opportunities to try and get what you're looking for per key use.
216	* ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'':
217	** The tutorial level in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty4ModernWarfare'' opens up with a wall of weapons in a firing range in the SAS headquarters at Hereford. Later, in the "Charlie Don't Surf" mission, the player can enter a basement in a building held by Al-Asad's troops, where there is a table strewn with dozens of rifles, shotguns, grenades and pistols.
218	** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2'':
219	*** The game features a terrorist safehouse with ''[[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity multiple]]'' weapons caches. There's a proper wall with a lot of guns in the basement, dropcloths full of weapons near the exits, support weapons and warhead launchers near the kitchen window, and sniper rifles next to picture windows. Mind you, it ''was'' meant as a safehouse and presumably a stronghold if besieged...
220	*** Soap and Roach break into an armory in a Russian gulag which is more like an elevated ''island'' of weapons.
221	*** Also, several Spec Ops missions in ''Modern Warfare 2'' have a dropcloth full of available weapons next to the player at the start of each mission.
222	*** Finally, in [[spoiler: the bonus level Museum]], every weapon in the game is arranged in several glass cases, along with several exclusives (such as the [=M1911=] and [=W1200=], which are only usable here).
223	** The opening cutscene for the ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'':
224	** The opening cutscene Zombies level "Five" has [[spoiler:JFK slapping the wall near a presidential seal]], causing the wall to swivel in place and reveal a wall full of small arms, a crossbow and at least one blade. Oddly enough, despite the participants clearly being shown with long guns, you start off with a [=1911=] when the cutscene is over.
225	** In all the "Zombies" variants in whichever ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' games feature them, your character gets weapons by going to their chalk outlines on walls and buying them with points.
226	* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'': The game's ending parodies the white room's weapon mall scene from ''Matrix'' when Conker is taken by the game's developers to the debug room. A mobile wall of weapons arrives to his location and he chooses a katana to decapitate the FinalBoss with.
227	* ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' has a wall of weapons - [[MemeticMutation in Hell!]] They're arranged nicely over the fireplace in the Heaven-owned Pandemonium Fortress. Why your character can't pluck one of them off the wall is never asked, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation of course]]...
228	* In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', Firion is the [[WalkingArmory walking variation of this trope]]. He carries no less than ''eight'' weapons on his person at all times. Numerous characters ask if they ever get heavy (or, in Kefka's case, "Eew! Aren't you ''hot?''").
229	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
230	** Following the series' [[VideoGame3DLeap 3D Leap]], nearly every weapon and armor shop will arrange their items on walls and shelves in this fashion. Justified, as they are on display to appeal to potential buyers. Whatever you do though, [[ShopliftAndDie don't try to pick one up]]...
231	** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' allows players to create one of these in wherever they choose to call home. Made even easier by {{Game Mod}}s which allow the placement of weapons ''directly'' on walls.
232	** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' also allows for it. However, it is extremely difficult to do without the help of mods thanks to the [[WreakingHavok Havok]] physics engine. Nudging an already placed item may send it flying across the room. Thankfully, mods which add dedicated weapon racks, armor mannequins, display cases, etc. are readily available online.
233	** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'':
234	*** ''Skyrim'' outright incorporates some of ''Oblivion'''s mods, and in fact, some of the creators of those mods were ''hired'' by Creator/{{Bethesda}} to re-create them officially in ''Skyrim'' You can easily assemble your own wall of pointy, stabby, slashy, burny, shooty, and bludgeony things in every house you own, thanks to plentiful weapon and shield racks, weapon cases, and armor stands. The Windhelm house takes the cake, though, as you have an entire large room dedicated to weapons and cases and stands you can use to show off all those artifacts you've acquired.
235	*** The ''Hearthfire'' DLC allows you to construct your own custom homes. One potential wing is the armory, a moderately-sized room with five different armor statues, an array of weapon cases, and enough storage space to store every category of weapon in the game with room to spare.
236	* ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', and ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', like their Bethesda ''Elder Scrolls'' sister series, also allow for this both in the vanilla games and with the help of {{Game Mod}}s.
237	* ''VideoGame/FarCry2'' has an armory next to every gun shop in the game, where the player can always find an unlimited supply of weapons they bought from the dealer. Empty spaces for future guns are sort of justified, as the armory clearly belongs to the dealer, and he would know his own inventory, although the ludicrous precision of this came back to bite when a later DLC added new weapons - the crates full of which are just unceremoniously dumped right in the middle of the room.
238	* [[spoiler: Gilgamesh]] of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' can use this to great effect with his '''alternate dimension''' full of weapons. It helps that [[spoiler: each and every one of them a potentially lethal Noble Phantasm that all the other heroes only have one or maybe two of.]]
239	* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', when you enter Zell's room, you can see that he has one of these (if only three rifles).
240	* ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'': Forte's room aboard the Elsior showcases part of her gun collection on the background. In addition, the locked cabinet on the left side has stored a rocket launcher.
241	* In ''VideoGame/TheGodfather'' game, the safehouses you purchase will contain a few of each gun type lying neatly around.
242	* In the final level of ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'', just before you begin destroying the Pillar of Autum's reactoer core, you gain access to the ship's armory. Rifles, shotguns, rocket launchers, and all the ammo you can carry.
243	* In ''VideoGame/Hitman2SilentAssassin'' as you collect weapons from the level you slowly build up a wall of weapons in a shed. Oddly enough he [[InterfaceSpoiler knows exactly how many different types of weapons he'll find and have a space earmarked for it]]. Reused in ''[[VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney Blood Money]]'', but taken to even more illogical extremes, with 47 having slots available for an Elephant Rifle, a Six Shooter and a nail gun. Possibly justified this time as the game takes place in a flashback and so he would have added the spaces as he got the weapons.
244	* ''VideoGame/JonathanKaneTheProtector'' have the part in Julio's arms store, including a back wall adorned with several different firearms. Jonathan can help himself to whatever guns he sees, and even test them at a ShootingGallery just nearby.
245	* A couple of ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games have rooms filled with every powerup available, usually right before the BrutalBonusLevel BossRush Arena. ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' and ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' come to mind.
246	* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'': The arrayed weapons and piles of ammo on tables in the safe rooms.
247	* The gun store halfway through the opening "Dead Center" campaign of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' does this as well, including multiple copies of every gun, for obvious reasons It's even the only place in the entire game where you're guaranteed to find a LaserSight.
248	* ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Link can purchase up to 9 wall stands for weapons for his house in Hateno Village and freely mount any weapons he's collected during the course of the game (three for melee weapons, three for shields, and three for bows). Selmie's shack also has multiple different types of shields mounted on the wall for her to use with shield surfing, though Link can't actually take any of them.
249	* ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' has a small example in 2F's classroom - a bunch of melee weapons are on permanent display above the blackboard.
250	* The trailer for ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsSparksOfHope'' shows Mario and crew raiding their ship's armory before venturing on the surface of a planet under attack. Various weapon lockers with transparent lids are shown.
251	* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', former assassin Thane Krios sets a smallish one up in his hidey-hole next to the life support systems. Jacob has his own collection (well, more like the ship's collection, which he maintains) laid out on several tables in the Armory. Notably, this collection gets bigger as you get access to more weapons.
252	* In ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'' there are four walls of swords and staves, all in the Merovingian levels, that you can put to very good use.
253	* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne3'' has a slight example. At one point in the 12th and 13th chapters, Max finds what he calls an arsenal, though unlike most examples there's only enough visible guns to equip a squad or two, and the ones you can actually use are far fewer.
254	* Muramasa's shop in the Xbox remake of ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' has a few weapons mounted on the walls, none of which can be used.
255	* When visiting the original hideout in ''VideoGame/Payday2'', the room before entering the shooting range has three walls: One for all masks you have, one for all your primary weapons and one for the secondary weapons. The later, larger safehouse introduced in the 2016 "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" event includes the same, though the wall for masks is moved over to Sydney's portion of the safehouse closer to the garage, while the actual weapon walls are on the other side of that floor. They're purely cosmetic, as well, since you can only use the weapons and mask you equipped before entering the safehouse.
256	* ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheDiabolicalBox'' features this trope in one of its puzzles. However, the trope is subverted due to many of the swords on the wall being ornamental. [[spoiler:In fact, all of them - the only real sword is the one held by the suit of armor ''next'' to the wall.]]
257	* The disc art for ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' has a wall of Ratchet's weapons.
258	* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
259	** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'', there's a room in Alfred's mansion where the walls are covered in rifles and pistols. You'd think that Claire would be able to use the weapons to go on an anti-zombie rampage. [[FridgeLogic No.]]
260	** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', the various Merchants will have walls and tables strewn with shockingly extensive arrays of firepower. And whenever he's in an outdoor area, he'll stuff his entire inventory into his overcoat. Hell, by the end of the game, Leon's [[GridInventory Attache Case]] qualifies.
261	* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has a minor example. Kal'Ger the Warmonger, a demon and leader of all the demons in Bilrach's dungeons, has five weapons on the walls of his room. And he goes through all of them as you and your team, if any, work on defeating him. It isn't exactly a wall full of weapons, but due to their size and the room's small size, more probably wouldn't fit in.
262	* ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2'': As a testament to how dangerous he is, the walls of The General's limousine are lined with guns and machetes, including two very prominent [=AKs=] mounted behind his chair.
263	* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'': Your first crib (Shaundi's loft) is stuffed with weapons, most of them in plain sight as soon as you open the door.
264	* In ''VideoGame/StarWarsGalaxies'' (Before TheyChangedItNowItSucks), Weaponsmiths had a tendency to advertise in their houses/shops by creating walls of guns (and swords).
265	* ''VideoGame/TimeSplittersFuturePerfect'' features a [[RunawayTrain train compartment]] containing a cache of weapons mounted on the carriage wall. Upon entering it, Anya, the player's VoiceWithAnInternetConnection remarks, "Wow, this is such a guys' room.
266	* The Orks in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' have a structure literally called a "Pile O' Gunz" where weapon upgrades are researched. It looks [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin just like what it's called]]. This is less them being CrazyPrepared as them understanding of the need for MoreDakka.
267	** Don't forget the little gretchin who [[PooledFunds dives into the pile for a swim every now and again.]]
268	* ''VideoGame/XcomEnemyUnknown'': Between the Barracks and the Control Room is the Armory, which naturally sports one of these. It only displays ballistic weaponry, however.

273	** And then, [[http://www.hookiedookiepanic.com/geist/comic.php?ID=24 their]] [[http://www.hookiedookiepanic.com/geist/comic.php?ID=25 armory]].
274	* Jake English of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' keeps all his guns in a big, messy pile. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006020 Dudes got a lot of guns.]]
275	** Jake's haphazardly piled firearms seem meticulously organized when compared to Bro Strider's [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002467 kitchen full of shitty weaponry]]. [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002495 The refrigerator is not exempt.]]
276	* Edythe from ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'' owns one of these in [[http://kumacomics.com/comic/chapter-5-page-53-unexpected-profession/ this page]], featuring guns from ''[[VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus Wolfenstein]]'' [[labelnote:Note]] [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter The Schockhammer X]] [[/labelnote]], ''[[VideoGame/{{Subnautica}} Subnautica]]'' [[labelnote:Note]] The Stasis Rifle[[/labelnote]], ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' [[labelnote:Note]] Combine Assault Rifle [[/labelnote]], ''Dirk Valentine'' [[labelnote:Note]] Chain Cannon [[/labelnote]], ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' [[labelnote:Note]] Clockwork Assault Rifle [[/labelnote]], ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' [[labelnote:Note]] Plasma Scattergun [[/labelnote]], and ''[[Website/SCPFoundation The SCP Foundation]]'' [[labelnote:Note]] The Micro HID [[/labelnote]].

277	* [[MeaningfulName Eagle-Eyed]] Pete, a minor [[spoiler:(and dead)]] character from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', used to be one of the best snipers in his thieves' guild and had an [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0614.html armory to match.]]
278	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': A wall with multiple weapons shows up in the home of a man whose job includes making sure UndeadAbomination monsters don't move from the ForbiddenZone in which they roam to safe areas.
279	[[/folder]]
280
281	[[folder:WebOriginal]]
282	* The set of ''WebVideo/CandRsenal'' is another example.
283	* ''WebVideo/IraqVeteran8888'' often have their videos presented in front of such a wall, which in the older episodes was the wall of the store at Moss Pawn and Gun, and later amongst the vast collection at Eric's house.
284	* ''WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic'': The studio Doug and company film in has a big wall of swords and guns. You don't actually see it in any Critic reboot episodes, and everyone's lampshaded that it looks intimidating.
285	[[/folder]]
286
287	[[folder:Western Animation]]
288	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Being an international spy agency, it's to be expected that ISIS has one.
289	* The Fenton family in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. They have a ''vault'' of weapons.
290	* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Lois Kills Stewie," after Stewie conquers the world, Peter and Lois search his room, finding a hidden lever that reveals a whole ''room'' full of weapons.
291	* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': Avocato's cabin on the Galaxy One has a fair number of weapons on the walls, and even more behind hidden panels retracted by touching the bonsai.
292	* Professor Farnsworth in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' puts his own little spin on this trope -- instead of weapons, he has a collection of '''doomsday devices''' readily available.
293	* In ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'', the Fortress of Solitude has a ''[[ExaggeratedTrope hall]]'' [[ExaggeratedTrope of weapons]]. Sadly, as Franchise/WonderWoman discovered, anyone capable of getting past [[Characters/DCAUSuperman the owner]] isn't going to worry about a DeathRay or two.
294	* Clay Puppinton in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' has an entire ''[[http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c3921396b1350113978ce87c0092 hallway]]'' lined with weapons of all kinds.
295	* Despite being TransformingMecha with built-in weapons, [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars the Maximals]] have such a wall in their ship for when they need a little something extra.
296	* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': Rick has a wall full of {{Ray Gun}}s and other futuristic weapons in the garage (and probably every room in the house), accessible with a button.
297	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy have one, and its weapons are genuinely deadly (as deadly as it can get in a children's show, anyways). One wonders why the duo never use said weapons seeing how their own abilities are lacking due to age.
298	[[/folder]]
299
300	[[folder:Real Life]]
301	* Apparently, [[https://www.inveraray-castle.com/explore/gallery/photowall Inveraray Castle]] has more polearms and muskets than you'd want to shake a stick at.
302	* It was common to find Governor's Palaces insanely well-armed in Colonial America. This was to both show off the power and wealth of the British Empire (a rifle being a sizable portion of a normal person's yearly income) and to be used to defend the Governor and his family/staff in case of uprising. In Colonial Williamsburg, the Governor's Palace had more muskets, rifles, pistols, and melee weapons than the actual magazine (arsenal).
303	* The first room you enter at Alnwick Castle has an incredible array of polished metal in the form of antique pistols, swords, and assorted other weaponry arranged in aesthetically pleasing patterns around the walls. All of the walls. Filling every square inch. (Even more impressive, however, is the library with walls made of books.)
304	* The Great Hall at Edinburgh Castle is decorated with swords, pistols, a couple of little brass mortars and just about every kind of polearm you can think of.
305	* In fact, most castles tend to have one of these. Originally they were for the use of the local landowner's militiamen, both for [[CityGuards keeping order locally]] and supporting the reigning monarch in war, but later on they were retained simply because [[RuleOfCool they make badass wall ornaments]].
306	* And of course, TruthInTelevision for most military and police forces. Armories will often have them stored on racks on the walls, sometimes in locked cages for added security.
307	* Ditto for any gun store. Dozens, sometimes hundreds, of rifles and shotguns lined up against the wall, and handguns lying under glass like in a jewelry store... all the better for the customer to select his or her purchase.
308	* Leeds Armoury has the [[https://royalarmouries.org/visit-us/royal-armouries-museum/royal-armouries-museum-galleries/hall-of-steel/ Hall of Steel.]]
309	* Gun manufacturer Heckler & Koch maintains a ... special conference room (the Grey Room) at their Virginia HQ for the purpose of looking impressive. [[http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/HK417/GRAY%20ROOM/Gray-Room-panorama.jpg It's successful.]]
310	* The page image is of Charlton Heston's private gun collection. One would expect nothing less from the man who headed the NRA (America's main gun rights lobbying group) late in his life.
311	* As shown [[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/channel-awesome-s-new-shows-and-more here]], the WebSite/ChannelAwesome studio has one. And ''because'' Doug decided to play the video for stepford NightmareFuel, Rob had to explain over and over again on the forums that everyone was safe and not going to be accidentally injured like in their previous three anniversary specials[[note]]Besides, the sharp-eyed gun nut may notice that the guns on display are airsofts, including a copy of the [fictional] Auto-9 from ''Film/Robocop1987''.[[/note]].
312	* Some self-defense classes will display samples of weapons that could be used on victims. For instance, [[http://tinypic.com/r/33mv3og/8 here]].
313	* Military museums; some may have a more modest selection, and not even a wall if they haven't enough weapons that aren't integrated into a different display; however a big enough display case can create this effect, as seen [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-Weapons-517026666 at the old North Queensland Military Museum,]] [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-Weapons-587716180 the new Army Museum of North Queensland]],[[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Weapons-517011257 Victoria]] [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Mortar-517011876 Barracks]], The [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-weapons-605450775 Armour]] [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-weapons-605449859 and]] [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-Weapons-605451767 Artillery]] [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-Heavy-Weapons-605452879 Museum]], or the [[http://thoughtengine.deviantart.com/art/Queensland-Museum-Wall-Of-Weapons-533771450 Queensland Museum]].
314	* The lack of ammunition can often be explained by safety and security procedures. In most Australian states it is required by law to lock up the guns in a safe with the bolts removed, where applicable, and ammunition in a seperate, locked cupboard, safe, etc.
