▲A BFG is a piece of personal artillery used by an individual and chiefly defined by its, well, incredible bigness. A BFG might ''have'' a mounting or bipod, but the main use in-story is for our warrior to sling it around as a personal weapon. With gritted teeth. While standing [[Spent Shells Shower|knee-deep in a pile of spent brass]], shouting [[Shouting Shooter|''Come Get Some!'']]
The BFG is a [[Freud Was Right|visual metaphor]] for power, and therefore has a lot of uses as a trope. If [[The Hero]], particularly the [[Action Hero]], gets hold of one, it's likely because the writers intend to [[Up to Eleven|escalate the action]], most likely with a [[Storming the Castle]] scene where he takes on a whole army.
