History Main / PipePain

* ''UrbanDead'': Metal Poles are possible weapons obtainable, although their base 2 damage and 10% accuracy is [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed]] by stronger, more accurate weapons.

* In the virtual world arc of ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', Kaiba uses one of these against Nezbit/Tristan.

* [[MeaningfulName Brick]] from ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' uses one as his melee weapon. Strangly, his action skill is basically putting it away and using his fists instead....

* The first melee weapon in ''Kingpin Life Of Crime''.

* In ''Film/{{Halloween}}: The Curse of Michael Myers'', Tommy beats Michael with a pipe until [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment green slime]] starts bleeding out of his head.

Subtrope of ImprovisedWeapon and related to both CarryABigStick and SimpleStaff, segments of piping usually used to channel liquids or gases are also effective clubs. Use of them as a weapon is especially common in derelict or wartorn zones where the piping is not in use and in poor repair, allowing easy acquisition. When not in the hands of a criminal or simpleton, this is generally a weapon of last resort.

* In ''{{Naruto}}'', Madara once used a jagged pipe as a [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice spear]] instead of a club when fighting [[spoiler:Konan.]]

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', pipes can be used as weapons, their slow attack speed mitigated by damage and long striking range. When some of the characters from the series [[{{Transplant}} were ported over to]] [[SharedUniverse other games set in the same universe]] (mainly ''StreetFighter''), the pipe made occasional appearances alongside them. It's brandished by [[CombatPragmatist Cody]] [[BatterUp in a baseball-like fashion]] at the end of his Last Dread [[AHandfulForAnEye Dust]] [[DesperationAttack Ultra Combo]] in ''[[CapcomSequelStagnation Super]] VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' and is used as a special by [[{{Ambadassador}} Haggar]] in ''[[MarvelVsCapcom3 Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''.
* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'': Pipes are one of the most common weapon type through the series, and they work pretty much exactly like they do in ''VideoGame/FinalFight''. The XboxLiveArcade rerelease of ''Streets of Rage 2'' also has an achivement for killing enemies with a pipe.

* Pipes are also featured as weapons in the ''GrandTheftAuto'' games.

* A pipe is the starting weapon in the first ''SystemShock''. Does less damage than a basic pistol bullet, but with greater CriticalHit chance and [[ArmorPiercingAttack armor penetration]].

* The ''HalfLife'' GameMod ''Poke646'' has a gaspipe as its first EmergencyWeapon.

* One of the many improvised weapons available in ''[[UrbanBrawl Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl]]''.
* Also one of the weapons that can be found in ''RiverCityRansom''. With high damage and a long range, it's a good one.

* ''{{VideoGame/Persona 3}}'': Mitsuru's JokeWeapon

* The ''Clue'' weapon was also used for a gay-joke on ''FamilyGuy''.
