* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' and its [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha AsA's|sequel]] [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|series]], Raising Heart and company become increasingly gun-like over time, even getting clips, cartridges, and a trigger in [[The Movie]].
* Ifurita in ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World|El Hazard the Magnificent World]]'' uses a staff that fires energy beam. The staff itself is of a technological nature.
* In ''[[Outlaw Star]]'', Ron MacDougal has a caster gun shaped like a shakujo.<ref>A mendicant monk's staff with jangly metal rings on the head</ref> It shoots magic.

* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]''--
** The eldar have fire-pikes, long staffs that shoot superheated... something, but they're crazy effective against tanks because of the heat.
** There are also a couple of examples like the Guardian Spears of the Adeptus Custodes (polearms with inbuilt [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]) and the Warscythes of Necron Pariahs (with inbuilt [[Shock and Awe|Gauss weapons]]).
Line 52:
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]] Fantasy'' has a few bound spell magic items (items that allow any character to have a single auto-use spell every turn in addition to other spells) that take the form of staffs - the [[Lizard Folk|Lizardmen]] have two that contain offensive spells.
* A number of [[Tabletop RPG|pen-and-paper]] RPGs, have staffs with a "pre-programmed" blast that even a non-mage can fire off.
** Staves in ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' third edition (and 3.5) are like this. In the fourth edition, Staves act like [[Magic Wand|magic wands]] as they are used to empower spells cast by wizards.
* In ''[[GURPS]]: High-Tech'' there is a baton like weapon that can fire a single shotgun shell, based on the real life Bangstick.
