* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' had it played with in several ways. Andy is a Fobott'r (generally humanoid, but four-armed species) During his initial interview, he bragged about quad-wielding handguns, but Thurl just pointed out that he still only had two eyes, so no matter how many weapons he's got, he'll only hit one target. There has been incidents where he HAS''has'' used it, though - including wielding a two-handed assault-rifle and two handguns at the same time - but it's been purely for intimidation-value. Or sometimes just for fun. It's still useful in having extra free hands for tasks not requiring sight, e.g. they can hold and use a weapon [[Guns Akimbo|or two]] with one pair of hands, and get something else ready at the same time. And specifically Fobott'r have an option of using one hand to read their [[Tactile Script]].
** Schlock himself has demonstrated on multiple occasions that he can not only form extra hands when needed, but also use them quite effectively. The fact that he can have multiple eyes (if he can get hold of them) means he could aim at multiple targets.
* [[Spinnerette]] uses her 6 arms to knit - all at once.
** While using silk she produced herself.
* ''[[At Arm's Length (webcomic)|At Arms Length]]'' When not fighting evil, Ally, Reece and Sheila are not above using all four arms to cut corners in mundane activities.
** The entire Enchanter race, which is naturally four-armed, is built around this trope.
