* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' Harry routinely uses guns in combination with his magical tools, as does most everyone in the supernatural community. For human wizards there is a practical element to it, as TheLawsOfMagic include a death penalty for any human who kills another human ''with magic'', regardless of the situation (partially because it has a corrupting effect on the perpetrator). Of course there's also a certain practicality to it. Not every wizard or supernatural being has significant offensive magical abilities, and firearms are one of the most generally effective weapons against a wide range of supernatural threats.

** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', while no class specializes in both bows and magic, any class can equip any physical weapon and magic has limited uses so bringing a backup weapon can be useful. Of the game's mages, Hubert of the Black Eagles, Mercedes of the Blue Lions and Professor Hanneman have strengths in using bows. Their Strength stats are still lackluster, but the Magic Bow, which deals damage based on the user's Magic stat instead, can be quite potent in their hands. Mercedes and Hanneman even have special bows available to them late in the game that synergize with their Crests.

* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' introduces [[TheGunslinger Albus]], a member of the eponymous Order. The Order uses Glyphs, special symbols imbued with magic, to fight monsters. While the protagonist, Shanoa, can use Glyphs by imprinting them on her skin (easily accessible through the power of a SexyBacklessOutfit), she's the only known human that can do this. Albus instead uses Glyphs by channeling them with a [[CoolGun magic flintlock]] that shoots out spells and bullets imbued with magic.

* In ''Literature/ThePowderMageTrilogy'', this is the principle ability of the titular Powder Mages. As the name suggests, their powers come directly from gunpowder, including the ability to ingest it to get stronger and faster, spontaneously combust it within a certain range, or (arguably most importantly) use it to fire bullets accurately at impossible ranges. This makes them one of the only effective combat counters to the Privileged, whose sorcery is more traditional and far more destructive. The fact that a Powdermage can feasibly hit a Privilaged in the head from well over a mile away is pretty much the only thing keeping the latter in check during most of the wars in the series.

** Ixs, a villain from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesKuroNoKiseki'' saga, uses rifle that shoots physical bullets but his shots are enhanced in a way that the bullets change their trajectory at impossible angles. He's categorized as this trope because his self-buff craft, "DROP-01 X," boosts his magic attack and magic defense instead of his physical stats implying that either the shots are manipulated by orbal energy or Ixs uses a genuine magic outside of orbal technology.
