** Blastoise from [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Gen I]] is a giant turtle with two water cannons in its shell. Its [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]] introduced in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' changes it to a single, much larger cannon while giving it two [[ArmCannon arm-mounted cannons]]. It's [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Gigantamax]] form takes this even further, with it gaining at least 31 cannons on its back when it Gigantamaxes.

* Seeing as the class is a straight-up {{expy}} of [[Franchise/StarWars Boba/Jango Fett]], Bounty Hunters in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' have an attack or two that launches rockets out of their {{jetpack}}.

* A handful of ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' [[HumongousMecha Battlemechs]] have this with rear-firing weapons, some being literal backpacks that fire into the rear arc. The more typical 'mounted on the back but firing forward' variety is actually rarer, with the ''Shadow Hawk'' being the most well known, as it is based on the Dougram mentioned above.

* A few of the various characters in the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersGenerationOne'' cartoon have guns on their backs. This is usually due to having parts of their alternate mode ending up there, with the most notable being Brawl and Onslaught of the Combaticons (a tank and an artillery truck, respectively). They are apparently still functional, but rarely used since they can only fire straight upward while standing, and few Autobots are airborne opponents.

** Tau battlesuit jetpacks have mounting points for either support systems or weapons, with missile launchers most commonly shown in GW's in-house models fitted to the jetpack. The old Broadside models had the best demonstration of this in the franchise; their backpacks were fitted with a pair of railguns, which are [[{{BFG}} at least twice as long as a man is tall]] - one on each shoulder.

* In ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', the Decepticons Mega-Octane and Armorhide cannons mounted on their backs
