Subverted: The bees die while still inside the weapon.
Double Subverted:
But a few make it out alive.
They are shot with the stinger facing outside the barrel.
Parodied:
Bob loudly announces the horrible devastating power of his bee-gun, then points it at his enemy and presses the trigger dramatically. Dramatic silence, everyone freezes in their tracks... A few seconds pass... and then a few bees fly out lazily out of the barrel and buzz far away in random directions.
Bob's years of work on killer bees left him constantly on the verge of death (with only strong medication keeping him up) due to all the attacks by the bees.
Bob's bees always attack everyone in the area, including civilians, Bob's allies, and Bob.
Reconstructed: Yes, Bob's bees attack everyone, but he's an Omnicidal Maniac.
Zig Zagged: The bee gun is quite nasty and effective until Bob starts to need a precision weapon. He switches to a more normal weapon... until he adds an underslung "sting this thing!" pheremone projector to the gun...
Averted: Bob may use a costume and equipment with a bee motif, but doesn't actually use bees as weapons.
Enforced: "If Bob the Beemaster doesn't have his Bee Bee Gun in The Movie, then his fans are going to pitch a fit."
