* In ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'', Kruller's WeaponOfChoice is a water pistol he happens to find in a nearby cardboard box. It would be rather useless against Luigi, but since only Gooigi (who melts upon contact with water) can access the combat zone, it ends up being an effective weapon.

* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheGalaxySuperExpress'' have a ''weaponized'' version of this trope: the villains are a race of PuppeteerParasite aliens who can infect humans, but have a WeaksauceWeakness in the form of shriveling instantly after contact with soap solution (even if they're controlling a human host). Cue the final battle, where the heroes grab dozens of water pistols loaded with soap solution and blasting aliens and possessed humans left and right. Nobita even gets to go GunsAkimbo with water pistols and take down hordes and hordes of alien parasites in a G-Rated shootout.
