The image has some quality issues stemming from being pulled from a Chex Quest screenshot using photoshop.

Meet the FP-45 Liberator. Featuring a whomping 1 bullet "clip", an amazing 7.6 meter (25 foot) effective range, and no rifling on the barrel!

Ahem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator

Basically, the idea was that the US could airdrop these guns into Nazi-occupied territories and the rebels there could use them to ambush their oppressors and steal themselves weapons that weren't terrible.

The original delivered cost for the FP-45 was $2.40/unit[3] ($32 in 2010). - per wikipedia

[up]But it still runs out of ammo, and thus isn't an example.

Khajit has run out of arrows. Khajit has run out of magicka. It is unlikely Khajit will run out of claw.

edit: more options:

Pathfinder: The one weapon everyone has, but only a Bare-Fisted Monk wants to use.

Shadowrun Returns: at least it doesn't take a weapon slot.

I'll say pull the current regardless of replacement. The quality is pretty bad, on top of being JAFAAC.

Given the difficulty in finding a suitable pic in the previous threads, I think this one is pretty much a BUPKIS case. You essentially need something like 4.3 (except with a defeault weapon) to show the trope.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

[up]Agreed on pull regardless of replacement.

I can make a high-quality replacement of the current really quickly, if needed, though if it's pulled for JAFAAC reasons, that'd be a moot point.

I don't think this is BUPKIS, but I say pull current regardless of replacement.

+1 to pull if we don't get a better suggestion.

The clock's up and we've got enough consensus to pull the current, so it's gone and the page is tagged. Locking up.

One of the few times SPOON!! is an appropriate battle cry.
