* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}' as viewed by Creator/AAPessimal, Lady Assassins define "nudity" as not "a state of complete undress" as "carrying no weapons whatsoever". Assassins will still wear at least ''one'' sheathed and ready throwing knife when bathing. As you never know.

* ''Film/{{Firefox}}''. Creator/ClintEastwood's character has been sent to KillAndReplace the pilot of the eponymous Soviet fighter plane, then steal it. Though he's unable to go through with the killing part, he hides in the pilot's shower to avoid meeting anyone who knows Soviet pilot. At one point guards turn up who've been ordered to search for the American intruder, and we see Clint in the shower holding a pistol at the ready while he argues and blusters with the guard commander, so he'll leave without checking his identity.

* ''Film/{{Firefox}}'' offers a shower example: while bathing for the title plane's maiden flight, the protagonist talks to a mission command officer, without leaving his pistol. (Justified for two reasons: he's an American sent there to hijack the Firefox... and he's Creator/ClintEastwood.)

* ''Literature/AmagiBrilliantPark'': One of the advertisement posters for the Blu-Rays of the anime adaptation has Isuzu standing in a bathtub while holding a ModestyTowel against her body in one hand and pointing her musket [[CoolGun Steinberger]] at [[SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou the viewer]] with the other.

* ''Series/{{Hunter}}'':

* In ''Literature/LordMarksmanAndVanadis'', when Tigre [[ShowerOfAwkward accidentally walks in on Ludmila's bath]], he discovers she keeps her AncestralWeapon Lavias (a magical [[BladeOnAStick pole-arm]] of [[ElementalWeapon ice]]), with her at all times and finds her pointing it at his neck in no time. But he's actually more worried over [[SexySurfacingShot her coming out of the water naked]] and tells her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn, but she scoffs at the idea, [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl since she finds no shame in being seen naked by someone she considers to be lower than an animal]] and eventually simply smacks him with Lavias's shaft.

* ''Anime/{{Kite}}'': One poster shows Monaka taking a with two guns in the water and a clip laying on the rim of the tub.

* ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}'': Episode 4 of the original OAV ("The Tragedy of L") had a scene where most of the [=SV2=] members are in a [[PublicBathhouseScene communal bath]], when the water on the men's side suddenly turns red. Everyone on that side screamed, to which Kanuka Clancy responded by picking up the gun she left in a nearby bucket, [[SexySurfacingShot jumping out of the bath]], running over to the men's side without bothering to put on any clothes, and pointing a gun through the doorway, but keeping most of her body still hidden by the screening door, only showing her SexySilhouette. Noa is the one to rush with a ModestyTowel for her and tells her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.

* In the HotSpringsEpisode of ''Anime/OutlawStar'', Gene [[LandingInSomeonesBathtub ends up landing]] in the Hot Spring where Suzuka and Melfina were bathing in. At first, both girls have a NakedFreakOut and clutch {{Modesty Towel}}s while Suzuka grabs her sheathed sword, but Gene just apologizes and starts to leave and it looks like the incident might end peacefully... but then [[LovableSexManiac he decides]] to [[TemptingFate tempt fate]] and [[ThePeepingTom tries to sneak a peek]] and is promptly smacked by Suzuka's sheathed sword.

* ''LightNovel/TheAmbitionOfOdaNobuna'': In episode 10, Nagamasa is [[SweetPollyOliver revealed to be a woman]] when Nobusumi finds her bathing in the female side of the hot springs at night and happens to see her naked. Nagamasa is startled and picks up her blade she kept nearby to fight off the intruder only to be surprised herself when she looks at his crotch and finds out [[DisguisedInDrag Nobusumi is a man that was posing as a woman]] and that she's actually naked in front of a man. In the ensuing NakedFreakOut she drops her weapon and divs under the water in shame, although Nobusumi manages to calm her down and they have some BathtubBonding.

* ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao'': In episode 5, Junko bathes in the hot springs with her sword wrapped around her head. This pays off when she hears Eiko is there and moves to attack her [[FullFrontalAssault even while stark naked]]. But since her {{Love Interest|s}} Akuto is ''also'' present Junko suffers a NakedFreakOut instead. For her part, Eiko also reveals she kept a hidden blade in her hair while trying to seduce Akuto in the bath.

* In ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', during the HotSpringsEpisode, the girls carried their magic wands to the hot spring to prevent the boys from peeping on them.

* ''Film/NakedKiller'': In the opening scene, FemmeFatale assassin The Princess, is {{shower|Scene}}ing in her target's room, a bodybuilder who has cheated on his girlfriend. When said target hears someone in his shower and pulls open the shower curtain to reveal the Princess's ToplessnessFromTheBack he demands outraged who she is and what she's doing in his bathroom. She nonchalantly tells him she "[[BathingBeauty likes to shower before doing her job]]" and then whips out a pistol and proceeds to shoot all of his limbs until he's crawling on the floor, before finishing him off with a [[GroinAttack final shot in his crotch]].

* In ''Adventures of Franchise/{{Superman}}'' #629, the [[FanserviceCover alternative cover]] features [[SpicyLatina Lt. Lupe Leocadio]] in a bathtub with her gun while doing a BathKick. In [[CoversAlwaysLie the comic itself]] Superman ''does'' meet with Lt. Leocadio while she's [[BathtubScene relaxing in a bathtub]], but she has wine and a book instead of a gun.

* Not a gun, but in ''VideoGame/TheGranstreamSaga'', the hero sneaks onto a flying vessel in a treasure box. Said treasure box is delivered to the female leader's personal quarters. The hero sneaks out of the box at just the right time (said leader is taking a shower in the same room), said female leader notices and throws a ''[[AnAxeToGrind battle axe]]'' across the room, barely missing his head and comes out of the shower dressed in a ModestyTowel and holding a massive ''[[EpicFlail morning star]]''.

* ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'': A variant occurs with Aoi and Manami during a BathtubBonding scene.

But he's actually more worried over [[SexySurfacingShot her coming out of the water naked]] and tells her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn, but she scoffs at the idea, [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl since she finds no shame in being seen naked by someone she considers to be lower than an animal]] and eventually simply smacks him with Lavias's shaft.
