Line 301:
* ''[[Tomb Raider]] 3'' has the rocket launcher, an extremely powerful weapon collected about halfway through the game. There is a very small amount of ammo for it in the entire game (and that's if you explore almost everything), so the player must use it very, '''very''' wisely. Since most enemies are too weak for the gun to be used on them and only a couple of the bosses are vulnerable to weapons (although it is very effective in those instances), the rocket launcher is [[Too Awesome to Use]].
* Every game in the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' up until [[Grand Theft Auto IV|4]] features at least one of these, which, against all the laws of physics, ''can be fired by the player while standing still''. And yet the player characters are supposed to be average humans.
* Vulcan Raven of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. His codename is based on the fact that he wields an [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Vulcan1.jpg M61 Vulcan gatling gun]. A normal Vulcan gun is 188 cm in height and weighs 112 kg, and he not only hefts the gun but also its ammunition (but not a power supply): an ammo drum the size of a refrigerator. In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', we have Fortune, also known as Lady Luck, who carries a rather large railgun. Her motion actor said that the dummy gun she had to point around was so big and heavy she 'had bruises all over [her] body' from handling it. It was made of wood and cardboard -- one can only imagine the weight of the real thing. To top it off, Colonel Volgin wields a Davy Crockett recoilless launcher in the [[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater|third game]], even though he only uses it once in a cutscene.
** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', {{spoiler|1=Snake ''finally'' gets his own hands on one after defeating Crying Wolf, which is the one Fortune has on MGS2 and was given to Wolf by Vamp, which can take down almost anything in one shot.}} Snake can also purchase a Barrett M82A2, a bullpup version of the famous M82A1 anti-material rifle that can take down just about anything. It can kill five to ten lined-up enemies in one shot, it can take down a helicopter in two, and kill Gekko in one, so long as you aim for the neck.
** Johnny also uses one for his [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero]] moment. For no apparent reason as they are in the middle of boarding a ship and a single bullet from a handgun appears to be completely sufficient to kill the enemies wearing heavy body armor. Hideo Kojima [[Author Appeal|personally recommends]] the M82A1.
* ''[[Parasite Eve]] 2'' allows the small-framed heroine, Aya Brea, to pick up a shoulder-mounted railgun in ''[[New Game+]]'' -- it's as long as she is tall, made from solid metal, takes several seconds to charge, and the recoil sends her skidding back several feet each time she fires it.
Line 329:
* ''[[Cosmic Break]]'' has several big guns that fit in this category. The most notable ones are [[Gatling Good|Bazooka Gatlings]], Stardust Cannons, [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Powered Lasers]] and the underused [[More Dakka|Vulcans]].
** Ineffective, but worth a mention: There's a Buster Gatling that can be fit on M-sized robots, one of the popular choices being a ''[[Small Girl, Big Gun|Female who is twice as short as this gun]]''
* Rozalin from ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' utilizes a Gatling gun in one of her special attacks.
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'':
** [[I Call It Vera|Sasha]], the Heavy Weapons Guy's primary gun in weighs 150 kg and fires up to 2,400 $200 rounds per minute. It has a sister, Natascha.
Line 536:
'''Mouse''': Hmm, nah.... listen, while I'm working on the codes with Megabyte, well, you'll watch my back won't'cha?
'''Dot''': What do you think this is for? <Cocks gun> }}
* The unofficial ''[[Re Boot]]'' Episode Zero (a compilation of every cutscene from the [[
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|The King]] in [[Sym-Bionic Titan]], while fighting with the army on the front lines and already shooting a BFG, runs out of bullets and pulls out an even ''[[Turned Up to Eleven|bigger]]'' one.
* On ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Pinkie Pie shows off her Party Cannon, which can blast decorations all over a room in one shot to instantly set up a party. [[Crazy Prepared|She even hauls it all the way from Ponyville to Canterlot.]]
