== Anime and Manga ==
* [[Zig Zagged]] in ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell]]''. In ''Stand Alone Complex'', Togusa is frequently criticised for carrying a revolver. In the ''Ghost In The Shell'' manga he's convinced to carry a semi-automatic, in the third movie (the one based on the Anime series) he's finally {{spoiler|received cybernetic implants and switched to a semi-automatic, although he keeps the revolver as backup}}. It's implied that he thinks [[Revolvers Are Just Better]] or is simply old fashioned (old fashioned family values, uses a gun almost as old as he is, few cybernetic implants).
** It also allows him, in both the first movie and an episode of the series, to fire some sort of tracking device onto a car.
