Gun Twirling: Difference between revisions

Line 62:

* Ronon Dex of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' is quite fond of this.

* ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' had one of the villains entertain a kid by teaching how to properly twirl a pistol.

* A ''[[M*A*S*H]]'' episode has Frank Burns attempting this in a very clumsy fashion; he then hands the gun to Radar, who does it expertly.

* Daiki Kaitou loves doing this, in an especially strange example since his gun is the [[Transformation Trinket]] that lets him become [[Kamen Rider Decade|Kamen Rider Diend]].

* ''[[Square One TV]]'' had one segment of [[Show Within a Show|Mathnet]] set in an abandoned Southwest town - one episode began with George Frankly twirling ''his calculator''.

Line 86:

* Balthier from ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' does this, with a predictably suave and gentlemanly manner.

* The idle animation for the revolver is this in ''[[Half Life]] 2''.

* Revolver Ocelot of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' does this, seeing as how his weapon of choice is a single action revolver. He does it during his ''entire'' introductory speech in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' game, and in [[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater|MGS3]] he's seen twirling his original service pistol, and a ''crossbow'' at one point, and then with three pistols at the same time in some crazy [[Up to Eleven]] variant of Russian Roulette. Before his boss battle he does a complicated series of tricks with a revolver in each hand.

** In ''The Twin Snakes'' remake, Ocelot twirls his weapon with his off hand {{spoiler|after his other hand gets sliced off by the Ninja.}} However, he ends up dropping the gun -- then picking it up quickly and pointing it at Snake.

** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', Ocelot uses his twirling guns for a practical purpose: to protect himself from a swarm of hornets. He spins them as they fly at him and they fall down dead.

** Snake can do it also, but only with the Single Action Army revolver, and not to the same impressive extent as Ocelot.

*** If you do that in first person view while fighting Ocelot, depending on how well you did it, he will either mock you you, or be impressed. Either way, he'll start doing it, leaving him open to attack.
