* The 2006 Volkswagen campaign [=VDub=], a parody of hip-hop culture in which Creator/PeterStromare "un-pimps ze auto" in unusual ways, features one ad in which a [[RiceBurner pimped-out car]] is destroyed by being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7zxiLURQ1w thrown by a trebuchet]].

** "Piranha gun! [[CatchPhrase Oh yeah!]]" The impracticality of this one is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in a scene where, after firing the gun, Vector tries to fit the piranha back ''into'' the weapon so he can fire it again, and fails miserably.

*
''WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnoftheDinosaurs'': Buck uses fruit berries as a defensive weapon against dinosaurs, upon impact they explode and unleash varying amounts of gases. He uses a more powerful one to get the herd away from surrounding dinos by obscuring the area in the fruit’s gases to make their escape easier without being followed.

* In ''Animation/{{Gandahar}}'', Sylvain's gun doesn't fire bullets. It fires seeds, which grow into large thorny plants the instant they hit something. A direct hit leaves the target impaled by multiple thorns if not torn apart.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Syndrome's lair on [[PunnyName Nomanisan Island]] utilizes sentry guns that fire sticky inflating balloon rounds to nonlethally stop any erstwhile superheroic intruders via GelatinousEncasement. According to some of the commentaries, that was the only kind of weapon they could think of that would conceivably stop Mr. Incredible without killing him and/or destroying the base (it may have also been lightly based on real nonlethal weapon concepts currently in development). These have also been interpreted -- probably incorrectly -- as a ShoutOut to another balloon-like weapon used to keep people captive on an island: the Rover from ''Series/ThePrisoner1967''.

* ''WebAnimation/ClubPenguinShutdown'': In the aftermath of ''VideoGame/ClubPenguin''[='=]s server shutdown, the game's snowball function has been transformed into in-universe firearms from the penguins channeling their extreme stress into their throw, which are used in inter-gang conflicts and similar instances. A gunshot sound usually plays whenever a penguin throws a snowball, and a gun cocking one is sometimes heard if a penguin holds up a snowball.

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': He has a crossbow loaded with baby unicorn horns instead of regular arrows or at least adult unicorn horns, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick because baby horns are less heavy, twice as sharp compared to adult horns, and can make people explode into confetti.]]

* The Furtive Polar Bear in ''TalesOfTheBlode Episode 4'' defends his North Pole lair with a gun that fires kittens.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' seems to revel in this trope.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' short film ''The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper'' has the penguin Rico used as a gun, firing the contents of a bowl of peppermint candies at KillerRabbit (or in this case, poodle) Mr. Chew.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'':

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie'' has Batman's "merch gun", which is like a t-shirt gun, only more so. One shot, and the "victim" will be fully outfitted in Bat-logo merchandise.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'', General Mayhem's spacecraft fires stars and exploding hearts while her blaster fires stickers.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'' has Batman's "merch gun", which is like a t-shirt gun, only more so. One shot, and the "victim" will be fully outfitted in Bat-logo merchandise.

* ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' had Brianna Diggers experiment with "Peebo bullets" based on her robot pets in one issue. They were supposed to seek out and hit bad guys on their own, thereby making them perfectly safe for bystanders; unfortunately their limited [=AI=] gave them a rather broad view of what actually ''constituted'' a 'bad guy' and [[HilarityEnsues hilarity predictably ensued]].

** The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081015 Hand-cranked]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081015 runcible gun]] shoots sporks. With a "Spork! Spork! Spork!" UnsoundEffect.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'':

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has Doc Scratch's gun, which fires magic cue-ball bullets and is implied to be one of the few things that can harm Lord English. Too bad it only had one bullet, which Spades Slick used to [[spoiler: kill Snowman, ending the Troll's universe]].
