** Any scene involving Tackleberry. Particularly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vom9iLDfb-Y this scene] from the first movie.
* Every agent in ''[[The Matrix]]'' spawns (literally) with a Desert Eagle .44 Magnum in their jacket pocket. (Some are even outfitted with [[Bottomless Magazines]].)
* ''[[I Come in Peace (Filmfilm)|I Come in Peace]]'' (aka ''Dark Angel'') has an alien pistol that when fired, blows up entire rooms ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlZbj4knIYw example], with a car).
* In ''[[Hellboy (film)|Hellboy]]'' it is shown that HB's "Samaritan" holds four rounds each about the size of a thumb.
{{quote| '''Hellboy:''' I'm not a very good shot, but the Samaritan uses really big bullets.}}
Line 223:
* Fefnir in ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' has two. Justified as he was built as a heavy weapons specialist and is strong enough to do it.
* The Sniper vs. Spy update for ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' brings us the Ambassador, an alternate revolver for the Spy which was initially touted as a Hand Cannon. In reality, though, the Ambassador is marginally weaker and slower than the standard revolver. Its true power comes from its near-perfect accuracy and ability to always crit with a headshot. In skilled hands, it lives up to the title of Hand Cannon; in unskilled hands, [[Revolvers Are Just Better|the standard revolver is just better.]]
* The guns in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series are all above average as far as size goes, but it's taken to a ridiculous extreme in ''[[Disgaea 4: aA Promise Unforgotten]]'', where a giant monster unit can magichange into a handgun that's ''as big as the wielder''. Considering that the wielder can't even reach the trigger, it seems logical to assume that the monster turned weapon is capable of firing of its own accord.
* Any and all guns in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'''s [[The Verse|Ivalice]], which more accurately resemble shotguns in size but are wielded and fired one-handed. Particularly noticeable in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]: [[Updated Rerelease|War of the Lions]]'', where [[Cameo|Balthier's]] Ras Algheti is the size of his torso.
** [[Infinity+1 Sword|Fomalhaut]]'s barrel in ''FFXII'' is roughly as thick as Vaan's arm.
