Line 17:
** Which some fan theories suggest is an in-universe example. It's completely useless (at least with the power K had it set to) for anything other than messing with rookies.
** ''[[Men in Black (animation)|Men in Black]]: The Series'' runs with that hypothesis, by giving J an attachment in series 2 that makes the gun actually usable.
* In ''[[Tangled (2010 film)|Tangled]]'', the Disney Rapunzel story, [[Frying Pan of Doom|a frying pan is used as the best weapon ever]]. {{spoiler|[[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Even up to a point where an entire platoon of guards is equipped with frying pans]].}}

Line 80:
* In ''[[Hitman]]'':
** In ''Blood Money'', you can get a nailgun. Very inaccurate, can only hit at close range, deals almost no damage, and it has a pause between each shot. However, when you realize that a headshot with any ranged weapon is an instant kill, your huge-capacity weapon becomes useful if you hide behind a corner while under attack by a large swarm of guards.
** In ''Hitman Contracts'', you can get a [[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|cardboard tube]] that, when used properly, results in an instant kill on nearly any enemy. The weapon's description mentions that it was "crafted from the finest natural cardboard and honed to its maximum lethality".
* In ''[[Land of the Dead]]: Road To Fiddler's Green'', the kung-fu fists are so powerful(& fast firing) they are also a [[Game Breaker]]. After finding them {{spoiler|in a closet in your murdered neighbor's house}}, the game becomes a breeze, even with mods that add several thousand zombies, or turn your character into a [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]. After getting the kung-fu fists, the only difficult mission is "Heavy Gunner", because you are given a minigun and must use it instead of the kung-fu fists.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has the carrot on a stick. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|It's a carrot on a stick]]. You get it for defeating a three-headed hydra in a giant ruined troll city that takes at least 45 minutes (back in the days, that was already an incredibly short time for a dungeon) to finish if you're going for the hydra part ASAP. That's right, you go into an ancient troll city to defeat a mystical three-headed hydra and all you get is a carrot tied to a stick with a piece of string; no, it's not something the hydra drops, it's a reward from a NPC who wants the hydra dead. It increases your mount's movement speed by 3%, which seems measly, but being the only way to increase it at the time made it a powerful item for catching up with fleeing enemies, often deciding the outcome of a [[PvP]] battle. In the current game, it's not effective for players above lvl 70, where faster mounts are available, which would make the item even more powerful.
