** The Joker uses it as one of his victory animations in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11''. Likewise, one way of looking at his Friendship (in which the Joker pulls out his gun and prepares to shoot his opponent, only for Batman to hit him with the Batarang) is that the Joker really ''was'' going to use the flag gun as his Friendship, and Batman preemptively threw the Batarang just in case he did not get any funny ideas.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode "Red Means Stop", during Dr. Venture's HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood, his uncle played a prank on him where he did a "pull my finger" and got him to pull the pin on a grenade version of this.

* While real "Bang" flag guns are easily attainable, they tend to be very cheaply made and not very gunlike in appearance ([[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51KNWNnDsvL._AC_UL320_SR292,320_.jpg like so]]), as opposed to the highly realistic revolver-styled props often seen in fiction. It's not hard to understand why such a prop is so incredibly difficult to find, given the potential for [[DontTryThisAtHome irrevocably deadly and tragic misunderstandings]] that a realistic prank gun can lead to, but those looking to procure one for stage use may have an easier and cheaper time of it by simply crafting their own out of an existing toy gun.
