Both a [[Stock Phrase]] and a staple of the [[Action Adventure Tropes|action genre]]. A character comes into the scene armed with what he thinks is sufficient, only to find out he is severely outclassed weapon-wise, because he brought the entirely wrong ''type'' of weapon (usually the superior weapon is revealed after the first person has committed to a fight). Could lead to a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] (which would make it a [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]], or maybe a [[Bond One-Liner]] if uttered after), or the character running for his life.
