Line 42:

** In ''[[Digimon Data Squad]]'', RizeGreymon's bullet sounds were changed to laser sounds, even though he was still shooting from a gun.

*** Oddly, the name of the attack was still "Trident Revolver".

** Also in ''Digimon Data Squad'', BomberNanimon, originally a giant bomb, attacked the amusement park. In the U.S., he was changed to Citramon, a giant orange, and a living [[Homage]] to [[~~Bobobobo~~ Bobobo|Don Pachi]].

** An interesting example: The Digimon Revolvermon is basically a giant revolver barrel with limbs and a cowboy hat. While the English dub changed his ''name'' to Deputymon, his appearance and attacks were not altered at all.

** Probably because, if they erased his gun, he would look more like a human than a Digimon.

Line 141:

* Occurs within the ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' [[Novelization]] of ''Tiberium Wars''. Within the novel, the regular infantry of Nod (the bad guys) are armed with energy weapons. While Nod do have lasers within the game, its only limited to special forces, while the regular mooks get conventional weapons. The trope is almost invoked by one soldier "Where the hell'd they get-" after seeing the lasers. The change isn't because of censorship, but as a result of a continuity error.

** In the expansion to ''Tiberium Wars'', the Black Hand subfaction can upgrade their basic [[Mook|mooks]] to use lasers. That said, they are [[Elite Mooks]], since the Black Hand is apparently Nod's elite.

* Inverted (sort of) in ''[[Osu Tatakae Ouendan]]''. At first the cops use real guns to fight rampaging robots which don't do anything. Then they figure out their weakness and attack with water guns instead, which are [[Justified Trope|very effective]].

* Inverted (sort of) in ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]''. At first the cops use real guns to fight rampaging robots which don't do anything. Then they figure out their weakness and attack with water guns instead, which are [[Justified Trope|very effective]].

* [[Disney]] ended up doing that in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] II''. In the first game, the only gun we had was in Deep Jungle ([[Tarzan]]'s world), which was Clayton's, and it wasn't censored. In the second game though, there were two occasions of guns in the Japanese version, and both of them were changed in the American release -- the first were the old-fashioned muskets from Port Royal (''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' world), which were replaced by crossbows (though still sounding like muskets and having ''muzzle flashes''); the second was Xigbar's Special Attack in which he merged his two laser guns to create a sniper rifle, which was altered to... well, the same laser guns not merging.

** Actually both Will and Jack had flintlock pistols unedited, and even Barbossa too in the boss fight.
