* ''Tyranny'', the ninth season of ''VideoGame/ConquerorsBlade'', has a sort of medieval ''Mad Max'' aesthetic, complete with weapons cobbled together from parts of other weapons. Examples include a poleaxe with a bunch of smaller hatchet heads pinned to a full-length haft; a nodachi whose blade is just a bunch of other blades welded together; and a shortsword which is basically a sawblade lashed to a crowbar.

** Collin and Dragon face off against Winter Schnee and her teammate Eisenbarth, whose weapon shifts between a club, a tower shield, and a rotary gun.

* ''[[Creator/DetsniyOffSkiword Kid Icarus Uprising 2: Hades Revenge]]'' includes a chainhammer. The weapon is a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]], except the chain has [[DropTheHammer hammers]] attached to it instead of a saw.

* In ''Film/{{Aquaman}}'', when Aquaman is fighting the pirates inside the Russian submarine, pirate captain Jesse Kane attacks Aquaman with an assault rifle fitted with an under-barrel grenade launcher. Not the best choice of weapon for the circumstances: when a grenade misses Aquaman, the explosion breaches the sub's pressure hull, bringing water flooding in, and also [[HoistByHisOwnPetard traps Kane under a fallen torpedo body so that he can't escape]].

->'''Jaune''': Whoa! Is that a scythe?\\
'''Ruby''': It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!\\
'''Jaune''': A-what?\\
'''Ruby''': It's also a gun.

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS IOU}}'': Though not primarily intended as a weapon, the Po Peil Fishing Artifact (a parody of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman) is an ancient artifact made by a Precursor race that contains everything an interstellar fishing enthusiast might desire, in one compact device. This includes complex scanning equipment to determine food safety, a vast recipe database, essentially unbreakable hooks and lines, harpoon-shaped force beams and tractor beams for subduing and retrieving particularly stubborn quarry, and even a full suite of functions to terraform a world into an ocean planet and stock it with fish-like beings, should no such planet be handy . . . which is a bit inconvenient if you happen to live on the target planet. Unfortunately, its recipes (and its operating instructions) are all in a language no one has spoken or read for at least a billion years.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' has quite a few of these in canon, though many of them have only one attack mode anyway. The [[BladeOnAStick Daikalbar]] is a polearm with an ungodly mess of slashy and stabby bits on both sides, though it essentially has only one combat mode with them. The Chain Daiklave, meanwhile, is actually not a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] (that's a chainklave); it's a short daiklave attached to a dire chain that can be used as a sword, a dire chain, or a [[EpicFlail sword on a chain]].

*** Guardian Spears are [[BladeOnAStick polearms]] that combine a power blade with an integrated bolter (a fully automatic rocket-propelled grenade launcher) [[note]]Earlier editions differed as to the exact weapons used with some replacing the power blade with a [[{{Vibroweapon}} vibro-blade]] and/or the bolter with [[EnergyWeapon high powered laser weaponry]][[/note]]. These spears are highly symbolic weapons that are only wielded by the Imperium’s greatest warriors such as the Watch Masters of the alien hunting Deathwatch and the Adeptus Custodes, the [[PraetorianGuard Emperor's personal bodyguards.]]

* Rifles with bayonets: [[BladeOnAStick blade-on-a-gun]].

* In ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'', Shizuka wields two chain-linked daggers. The chain extends so she uses this primarily as a ranged weapon. Not only can she block bullets and cut fireballs in half, she can even maneuver her daggers around corners.

** ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'' gains the [[https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Wizardragon#Forms AxCalibur]], a combination axe and sword, in his SuperMode. It's actually fairly similar to Buffy's scythe.

* In ''Film/{{Aquaman}}'', pirate captain Jesse Kane fights Aquaman with an assault rifle fitted with an under-barrel grenade launcher.

* ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'s billy club is a TelescopingStaff which can be change between a baton, a cane, nunchuks and a GrapplingHookPistol.

* ''Fanfic/TheRigelBlackChronicles'': Leo has a fairly practical version, with a knife whose blade is in the shape of a triangular prism instead of a single edge, and is hollow -- thus allowing him to put his wand inside, getting the benefits of both weapons. Fighting with such an unusually shaped knife is an art form of its own, though.

* ''Manga/{{Gamaran}}'' has Jaki, whose secret weapon is, essentially, [[EpicFlail a spiked flail]] with a [[SinisterScythe hand-held kama]] in lieu of the handle, while his associate Kotaro has a sickle-bladed armlet connected to three long chains. The sequel tops this with Ichiki Oobayashi and his [[NamedWeapons Enmiyabi]], a [[FightingWithChucks sansetsukon]] with axe blades attached to it, making it a three-sectioned poleaxe.

** Bo-rifles, traditional weapons of the Lasan Honor Guard, are capable of being rifles for distance or electrified staffs with 11,000 volts for melee. They're noted as being insanely heavy for non-lasat to wield, though the human Agent Kallus has been known to not only do so but do it one-handed. The weapon serves as Zeb's WeaponOfChoice as well as Kallus' [[spoiler: until he loses it due to the events of the Season 3 finale.]]

* ''Manga/{{Gamaran}}'' has Jaki, whose secret weapon is, essentially, [[EpicFlail a spiked flail]] with a [[SinisterScythe hand-held kama]] in lieu of the handle, while his associate Kotaro has a sickle-bladed armlet connected to three long chains. The sequel tops this with Ichiki Oobayashi and his [[NamedWeapons Enmiyabi]], a [[FightingWithChucks sansetsukon]] with [[AnAxeToGrind axe blades]] attached to it, making it a three-sectioned poleaxe.

** The [[NamedWeapon Bloodstorm Blades]] wielded by [[TheBerserker Skarr Bloodwrath]], from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'', are [[DualWielding a pair]] of mighty [[AnAxeToGrind double-headed axes]], each with a [[ChainPain long skull-weighted chain attached]]. These blades turn Skarr into a maelstrom of gore on the battlefield as he uses the axe heads to reap the skulls of his enemies while the chains bring down those who attempt to stay out of the blood-mad lord’s reach.

* Introduced in May 2020, the [[https://www.kukrax.com/ Kukrax]], the never-before-seen combination of a [[KukrisAreKool kukri]] and [[AnAxeToGrind ax.]]
