** 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.
* The [[Edited for Syndication|broadcast version]] of the dub of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' actually has ballistic weapons visually edited to look like lasers. They missed a few shots. {{[[media|:kerai/1110048506407.jpg| Click here}}]] to see examples. The editing got really inconsistent in the last two episodes, which were aired so late at night that Cartoon Network could get away with more than when the show was aired at 10 PM. And some of the "lasers" were ridiculous enough to undergo [[Memetic Mutation]] -- search for "Disco Gun" for details.
** This was edited much less in Canada (''Gundam SEED'' aired at 9PM or later on Fridays) -- mainly editing out the over-graphic deaths had by some "extras" (such as from the radiation weapons -- swelling and popping), and toning down a bit of the (somewhat-infamous) Kira/Flay encounter.
*** One [[Epileptic Trees|fan theory]] is that the gun edits were intentionally ludicrous: Bandai and CN both realized that the fans would see right through the edits, but it still had to be done, so they were made silly-looking to give viewers something to laugh at.
