** These videos pretty much the most literal kind of Gun Porn you can get, complete with [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|a rotating gun on a stand, then loading, charging, and finally firing... in slow motion.]]
* ''Lock 'n Load'' on the History Channel, which covers anything that shoots something. The show's host is none other than [[R. Lee Ermey]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUZMK7fBiZU The opening title] for ''[[
* ''[[Sons of Guns]]''. A [[Reality Show]]/[[Docu Drama]] dedicated to Gun Porn. [[Rule of Cool|Finally]].
Line 106:
* The ''[[GURPS]]: High-tech'' source book has almost a third of its width dedicated to explanations, rules, tables, and descriptions of various modern guns.
* ''[[New World of Darkness|World of Darkness: Armory]]'' is pretty much gun porn, breaking down the standard firearms listed in the core book (light pistol, heavy pistol., shotgun, SMG, rifle, assault rifle, etc.) into make, model, and special properties. And then it gets into Melee Weapon Porn, Explosives Porn, Vehicles Porn... basically, it's the book to bust out when you want to go beyond the generics.

{{quote|The Imperium of Man is vast, and amongst billions of inhabited worlds there are countless forge worlds, factories, craftsman, artificers and blacksmiths turning out weapons and armour. As can be imagined this produces a practically limitless variety of makes, patterns and brands. It would be impossible to detail each and every different make of weapon in the Imperium (or even a small fraction of them), so the weapons, armor and equipment represented in this chapter represent the most common designs and designations. You can, of course, create the makes and patterns for your weapons as you see fit; after all, having a Gorgon-Pattern H-12 Widowmaker is [[Rule of Cool|far cooler]] than just having a stub revolver. }}

Line 134:
** As if that weren't enough, there's multiple variants of ammunition for the same caliber, and a multitude of parts to use to customize individual guns with. There's so much gun porn it's quite easy to get distracted from actually fighting in favor of pimping out your mercenaries with the coolest guns possible.
*** As a spiritual successor, ''Brigade 7.62mm'' fits this trope too. In 3D! Moreso with the fanmade mods.
** There's also [https://web.archive.org/web/20121101080747/http://www.jagalaxy.com/index.php/ja2-downloads/mods-download/3037-Cosplay-DBB-Mod.html this mod] that [[Serial Escalation|takes it to an impossibly higher level.]]
* ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' has a faction called the Boomers, who practically have a [[Cargo Cult]]-esque religion based around guns and explosives. Naturally, the main character can earn some serious Messiah points by {{spoiler|salvaging a pre-War B-29 from the bottom of Lake Mead for them}}.
** The Gun Runners are at comparable levels of Gun Porn, though their outlook is secular and their plot relevance is much smaller.
Line 140:
* In the game ''[[Conker's Bad Fur Day]]'', play this trope parodying Matrix when Conker {{spoiler|blackmail the programmer to help him in killing Heinrich}}.
* ''[[Battlefield 3]]'' has an absolutely huge wealth of guns for you to use in the multiplayer, as well as many scopes and attachments for your pleasure.
* ''[[Enter the Gungeon]]'' is Gun Porn: The Game. Much like ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]'' (which has similar gameplay) the available weapons are of incredible creative variety - you have guns with explosive bullers, multi-fire, rapid-fire, cannons, mortars, rocket launchers, guns that fire elemental energy, every varity of [[Ray Gun]], lots and ''lots'' of [[Joke Weapon]]s and [[Lethal Joke Weapon]]s, and lots more. One merchant claims the Gungeon is like a interactive museum for [[Cool Guns]]. Because the game is loaded with [[Shout Outs]] to famous video games, there's a chance that ''any'' game with a [[Cool Gun]] will have a version of that weapon here. Of course, enemies have Cool Guns too, some enemies [[Animate Inanimate Object|actually being living, walking guns or bullets.]]

* For those wanting to create a Frankenstein's monster equivalent of a gun, you're in luck! [https://web.archive.org/web/20130926204809/http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/ Pimp My Gun] and [http://dragonflyteam.free.fr/pimpmyairsoft/ Pimp My Airsoft] let you mix and match gun parts of popular firearms to create the dream weapon you want. So I'll take the AK's receiver, add the [[HK 416]]'s handguard, maybe throw in an M203...
* Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Main_Page Internet Movie Firearms Database]. It's like [[TV Tropes]], [[Recycled in Space|but with guns]].
* The gun pornographer's ultimate website: [https://web.archive.org/web/20081110161203/http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm World Guns]. It basically catalogs every firearm made from very late 1800's to today.
* Freddie Wong's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6CXAaI1OAo "Huge Guns."]
* [[The Salvation War]] dedicates a ''lot'' of writing to describing the military hardware used. If it were cut out, the story would probably be 25% shorter.
** This is largely due to the author's day job: http://www.navweaps.com/index_tech/default2_bioSS.htm
