I think the image on Combat Pragmatist would fit better here. Never Bring A Knife To A Gunfight does call itself a subtrope of that one, so it's picturing a more specific variant.

Not quite sure what to replace it with though, partly because all the examples on Combat Pragmatist are on subpages. Leave the main one blank?

How about panels 1-3 of this for Combat Pragmatist? For caption, we can use one from the dialogue:

"It's a, um, Glock... achu. Yeah, 'Glockachu'. Totally legit."

Like this... are the text balloons too distracting? Or is the image too large?

The text balloons would be okay if the text was larger.

Okay, take 2 for Combat Pragmatist. I've cranked out my Photoshop and enlarged the text. What do you think?

[up] I don't see the "combat" part of the trope.

Two suggestions from another thread:

Noting here that there has also been an option processed in the Image Suggestion thread, which was decisively downvoted.

Bumping. Could we get a shot of the guy actually swinging the scimitar around before Indy shoots him? The sword's barely evident in the current on Combat Pragmatist.

Only just looked at them, but not a fan of the suggestions in 17. I think it kinda muddles the meaning of the trope (which is closer to the Indy pics above) by adding Technologically Advanced Foe into the equation.
