Line 55:
* In ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' Togusa uses a truly impressive looking .44 magnum auto-revolver. But he's frequently told to finally get rid of this flimsy thing and upgrade to something with [[More Dakka|real firepower]].
** It's a real gun. Meet the [[wikipedia:Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba Model 6 Unica]].
* ''[[Laputa: Castle in Thethe Sky]]'' has something akin to this, an the one-shot weapons that Dola's pirate gang uses seem to also be capable of loading stink bombs as well as the normal bullet/explosive rounds. Near the end, the [[Big Bad]] actually calls the one Patsu carries a "cannon you can hardly lift".
* Parodied [[Trope Overdosed|(and what isn't?)]] in ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', where [[The Chew Toy|Mikuru]] is made to [[Dual Wield]] airsoft Desert Eagles for the student film. In her hands the guns are comically oversized, which is only made worse by the absurd extended barrels.
* Kiritsugu Emiya from ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' favours a Thompson Contender chambered for rifle cartridges as his main weapon. He furthermore uses custom-made bullets (containing his own ground-up bones) that [[Anti-Magic|disturb magic]].
Line 123:
** In the second movie, he gets an even ''bigger'' gun, that apparently uses clockwork to fire, has about sixteen barrels, and fires pairs of flaming shotgun shells. It is called the "Big Baby" and he uses this to destroy a forest god.

* Though normal-looking guns are present, the air pirates in ''[[Laputa: Castle in Thethe Sky]]'' use these as their weapon of choice.
* The toon revolver in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' is abnormally large. Possibly because all of its bullets are sentient.
* Leslie Nielsen briefly wields a ridiculously over-sized Magnum at the end of, ''[[Two Thousand And One A Space Travesty|2001: A Space Travesty]]''.
