|'''Commander Pavel Chekov''', ''[[Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home]]''}}
The [[Ray Gun|phaser]] carried by Ensign Pavel Chekov in ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''. Completely unremarkable, and of no significance whatsoever, unlike '''[[Chekhov's Gun]]'''.
See also ''[[Gray's Anatomy]]''.
{{examples}}
== [[Live Action TV]] ==▼
* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' has one noteworthy example of [[Chekov's Gun]], carried by Ensign Pavel Chekov for the majority of episodes in which he appeared. It rarely had any effect on the surrounding plot.▼
** His gun reappears in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''' "Trials and Tribble-ations", which used archive footage of a TOS episode.▼
** Subverted in ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]''; since the rest of the regular cast from the original series appears in animated form, one might expect Chekov and his phaser to appear as well, but they do not.▼
** Averted in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', where there are phaser guns, but none of them are owned by Chekov.▼
** Played with in "Spectre Of The Gun," wherein Chekov carries a revolver, rather than a phaser.▼
* Averted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.▼
* [[Not a Subversion|Subverted]] in ''[[Babylon 5]]'', where it is actually ''Alfred Bester's'' Gun, and was a PPG (Phased Plasma Gun) rather than a phaser.▼
* Implied in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' where Colonel Chekov obviously used a gun in the backstory, but did not actually use one in the actual series.▼
* In ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]'', Chekov points his gun at Kirk, but resists the orders of Khan. He screams, clutches his ear and collapses.▼
* In ''[[Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home]]'', Chekov attempted to escape from captivity by threatening to use his gun (see pagequote). However, it misfired and he was forced to flee after [[Throw-Away Guns|throwing the useless gun]] at one of his captors.▼
* Averted in [[Star Trek (film)|the latest film]].▼
* Played with in ''[[Terminator]] Salvation'', where Anton Yelchin has a gun.▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' [[Deconstruction|Deconstructs]] this. [[Not a Subversion|Not]]. This trope was deconstructed when thousands of Chekovs worldwide turned into tang, but their guns did not.
