* In ''[[Transformers Armada]],'' Demolishor's missiles were frequently shown to ''stay in place but fire missile-shaped lasers.'' Of course, it does provide an explanation for the usual "we can see he's only got four, so how come he's been blasting away all day and never runs out?" problem that some Transformers have. Most weapons fire appears to be lasers, but Cyclonus has more than once told an enemy to "eat lead". |

* In the [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] broadcast of ''[[Dragonball Z Kai]]'', [[One-Scene Wonder|Farmer with shotgun]] becomes Farmer with... [[Frickin' Laser Beams|some kind of laser shotgun]]. Raditz still manages to [[Bullet Catch|catch the laser]] and [[Catch and Return|throw it back]] at the Farmer. [[Fridge Logic|Somehow]]. |

* Played literally in one episode of [[Full Metal Panic]] Fumoffu: when a thug explains to his boss the features of the Steyr SPP machine pistol, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_jOS2e2y-I an ad reminiscent of the 50s or 60s plays, advertising the gun as "fun for the whole family!" while a father, mother, and two children spray bullets willy-nilly]. (The SPP might be the civilian version of the TMP, but it's no toy.) |

* In [[Fairy Tail]] one goon of the Naked Mummy Dark Guild is seen using a shotgun loaded with magic bullets. In the anime it was changed to a more toy-looking rifle. |

* In ''[[Pokémon]]'', no Officer Jenny even carries a gun. They just have fire-spewing attack dogs tackle the bad guys, which is obviously much safer. Even when a [[Cowboy Cop|"wild"]] Jenny appears with only a talking bird as a Pokémon, she uses...[[Improbable Weapon User|well, pretty much bowling balls]]. The bad guys prefer to make their Pokémon do the fighting as well, [[Justified Trope|though that's a lot cheaper and easier than using a gun]]. The one episode that had a character with a gun got [[Missing Episode|banned]] [[No Export for You|almost worldwide]], even though no one was shot with it. However, giant mecha and battleships firing a barrage of missiles are apparently just fine, even though most Team Rocket robots fire [[Abnormal Ammo|nets, energy beams or glue]] considering they want to steal and not hurt Pokémon. |
