* Pretty much every revolver in ''[[Borderlands]]'' counts as this.
* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20100616191201/http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3pistol M6 series of pistols] in ''[[Halo]]'' is chambered for 12.7x40mm (necked-down .50 BMG) high explosive armor piercing rounds.Seems like overkill at first, perhaps, but against the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Covenant]], it might just be justified.
* ''[[Killing Floor]]'' has Desert Eagles [[AKA-47|renamed]] "Hand Cannons".
* In the Telltale seasons, ''[[Sam and Max]]'' have a huge revolver and Luger, respectively. This is probably to compensate for the fact that they weren't allowed guns in the TV show and "left them at the cleaners" in ''Hit the Road''. Successfully complete the ''Hit the Road'' game however, and you get to watch Sam and Max amuse themselves by unloading on a carnival's BB gun shooting gallery with them.
Line 229:
** Interestingly, ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'' has smaller guns, but also smaller wielders—they're used by a class only available to Moogles, the smallest playable species. ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'' reintroduces hand cannons as a separate weapon type from the small guns, making them available both to Moogles and to [[Proud Warrior Race|Bangaa]].
* The Culverin weapon in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', which actually looks more like a modern-day shotgun ingame, is unique in that it does not accept regular ammunition of any sort, instead opting for ''cannon shells'' that are significantly less efficient inventory-wise.
* Vincent Valentine's Cerberus in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]: [[Dirge of Cerberus]]'' is a gigantic, aggressively ridiculously designed revolver with three cylinders, three hammers linked to one trigger and three barrels. Even with the normal barrel the weapon is the size of his own leg, and it can be fitted with an even sillier three-foot "sniper" barrel. His [[Infinity+1 Sword|InfinityPlusOneGun]] is the Death Penalty. In his earlier appearance in ''Final Fantasy VII'', it looked like [https://web.archive.org/web/20160927055615/http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/3/3b/FF7_Death_penalty.jpg this], which is not quite a Hand Cannon. Come ''Dirge of Cerberus'', and it looks like [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/b/bf/DoC_Death_Penalty_Artwork.png this].
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]] OG Saga: [[Endless Frontier]]'', [[The Gunslinger]] Haken Browning's backup weapon is the Longtomb Special: a three-foot long [[Revolvers Are Just Better|revolver]] that he fires [[Firing One-Handed|one-handed]], [[I Am Not Left-Handed|left-handed]], from the hip, with the right hand pulling the hammer. He will also sometimes fire Dual-Wield it along with his Assault rifle, which is natually also fired one-handed. In his [[Limit Break]], he uses the "Klondike Mode", turning it into a [[Wave Motion Gun]] with a lot of recoil.
* Noel Vermillion in ''[[BlazBlue]]'' [[Small Girl, Big Gun|wields 2 guns the length or her arms.]] Though this is hardly the most [[BFS|absurdly oversized weapon]] in the game.
