* ''[[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",{{verify}} 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.
