Line 31:
* Bret Maverick demonstrates this ability in the ''[[Maverick (Film)|Maverick]]'' movie.
* Taken to a logical extreme in ''[[Tombstone]]'', where Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo "duel" entirely by seeing who can do the most elaborate [[Gun Spin]]. {{spoiler|Doc wins by using a tin cup to mirror all of Johnny's tricks.}}
** Also the scene on the street when Doc is called a Drunken Piano player and told he's probably seeing double, he pulls his second pistol and spins them in opposite directions with his {{spoiler|tin cup}} still in his hand (a very difficult trick), accompanied by a [[Pre
* A fancy spinning draw is how Anne realized [[Robo Cop]] was really her old partner, Murphy: Murphy had copied the trick from his son's favorite TV show.
** Also applied later as a [[Tear Jerker]] when Murphy/Robocop has a flashback to his son asking him to perform said trick.
Line 62:
* Ronon Dex of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' is quite fond of this.
* ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]'' had one of the villains entertain a kid by teaching how to properly twirl a pistol.
* A ''[[
* 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 122:
* Manosuke Naitou of ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations]] 2'' is a master of this.
* Princess Eruca can be seen doing this in combat in ''[[Radiant Historia]]''.
* Amita of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable (Video Game)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable]]: The Gears of Destiny'' does with her pair of [[Morph Weapon|Variant Zappers]] during her [[Limit Break|Full Drive Burst]] as she switches them from their [[Guns Akimbo|gun form]] to [[Dual
* Used in Gears of War on two weapons. The first is the Gnasher shotgun where after a non-active reload animation they spin it by the lever. In the active reload however they forgo the flair entirely to get back to shooting faster. The second one is the Boltok revolver in Gears 2 and onward with the weapon specific execution. The character grabs the gun by the barrel, whacks the victim across the back of the skull, then spins it on their finger to return it to shooting position. More forgivable since executions are intended to be [[Awesome but Impractical]].
* In ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'', Patty Fleur does this before using her Variable Trigger arte. You can delay the attack by making her twirl her pistol longer, which also makes it stronger.
