[[Action Girl]] [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[The Gunslinger]].
 
[[Girls Withwith Guns]] describes a sub-genre of [[Action Adventure Tropes|action media]] that focuses on strong female leads being awesome with firearms. May or may not involve [[Heroic Bloodshed]]. It was developed somewhere in the Hong Kong film industry and has since made itself a genre that is often used in anime. Usually involves gun fights, stunts and martial arts.
 
[[Small Girl, Big Gun]] is a subtrope--[[Girls Withwith Guns]] aren't necessarily small, and their guns aren't necessarily big. Yeah-heh.
 
Compare [[Superhero Packing Heat]]. See also [[The Other Wiki]]'s page [[wikipedia:Girls with guns|on the subject]].
 
'''Note that this page describes a genre, not a character trope.''' Individual examples of [[Girls Withwith Guns]] go on [[The Gunslinger]].

* [[Shirow Masamune]] obviously [[Author Appeal|has a fetish]] for [[Girls Withwith Guns]]: though the boys get to play as well, the main characters in his books are usually female, and spend much of their time toting, and being awesome with, guns. (Or in one case, ''tanks''). Some of his works:

* ''[[Canaan]]''
* ''[[Mezzo Forte]]'' and ''[[Mezzo DSA]]''
* ''Early Reins'': [[Die Hard Onon an X|Die Hard on a train]], in [[The Wild West]], with six girls with guns as the heroes.
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' has Revy (trope picture), Roberta, Balalaika, and the entire church of violence. Practically every fighter that survives for [[Mooks|more than a episode]] is a woman. Fetish, anyone?
* ''[[Upotte]]'' is about [[Moe Anthropomorphism|girls who ARE guns.]]
Line 52:
* ''[[Assault Girls]]''
* ''[[Angels Revenge]]''
* ''[[The Quick and Thethe Dead]]'' has the Lady, who is commonly remarked upon as she's the only woman in the gunfighting tournament.
