** Implied to be the blaster equivalent of a [[Sawed-Off Shotgun]].
* ''[[Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura]]'' has a weapon that the player can construct from parts called the [[Hand Cannon]]. It's a wooden grip, a trigger, and what looks to be at least an inch-wide barrel.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', Meryl stated that she picked up a [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Desert Eagle]] with the long barrel over the only fractionally more reasonable .45 SOCOM that Snake himself uses. Snake [[Lampshade Hanging|remarked]] that "It's an awfully big gun for a girl," and offered to trade guns. In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', Liquid Ocelot has a .45-75 hand rifle that needs reloading after one shot, but when obtained as a [[Infinity+1 Sword|bonus weapon for completing an emblem challenge]], it one shots most PMC [[Mooks]]. Same on multiplayer.
* ''[[Advent Rising]]'' introduces what is described as a handgun that fires ".90 calibre armour-piercing concussive rounds" and can be [[Guns Akimbo|dual-wielded]]. Obtaining a good level of handgun skills allows protagonist Gideon to fire the weapon in rapid three-round bursts that can match the rate of fire of any machinegun in the game. This is trumped by an energy pistol powered by a miniature fusion generator which hits significantly harder and can still be [[Guns Akimbo|dual-wielded]]. Better skill in with this handgun allows Gideon to fire grenades at the cost of more ammo. This is then matched by a Seeker energy pistol which, while it starts off weaker, can become stronger when Gideon learns the skill needed to fire hideously powerful rounds which can bounce between upwards of four enemies at the cost of extra ammo. This, too, can be [[Guns Akimbo|dual wielded]]. About the only thing limiting total arm cannon carnage is ammo consumption.
* Fefnir in ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' has two. Justified as he was built as a heavy weapons specialist and is strong enough to do it.
