Line 37:
* The second Corinthian pulls this on Matthew - whom he had previously sworn to kill - in ''[[The Sandman]]''. {{spoiler|Dream later tells Matthew that the Corinthian had genuinely intended to kill him, but Dream had exerted his influence to alter the event and save Matthew's life.}}
* Similar to the ''[[Claymore]]'' reference above, an issue of Marvel Comics' ''[[Conan]]'' had an ally pull his dagger when Conan revealed he was carrying the [[MacGuffin]]. Cocking his arm back, he announced that he was doing something he should've long since. Conan started to warn him off, and then the blade flew past him to impale a fat lizard. The look on the Cimmerian's face as the other fellow held up the meat for their dinner was '''priceless'''.
* [http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/6514922.html Here]{{Dead link}}, a [[Transformers|Decepticon]] is [[Strange Bedfellows|given a gun]] by an Autobot while the latter tries to switch off a Transformer zombie signal. After it's off, the Decepticon shoots - a zombie that evidently didn't need the signal and had gotten really close to the Autobot
* Subverted in an early ''[[X Wing Series]]'' comic. Two New Republic pilots holed up in a cave have been found rather suddenly by a New Republic agent, who holds a blaster on them as they work through suspicions.

The pilot tells his friend to reach for his gun, so one of the two has a chance to wing it, if the agent doesn't fry them. The [http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1452/swrstro207.jpg next page] has the agent [[Badass Back|firing behind herself without looking]], hitting the predator. "I believe you," she says.
* During the [[Batman|Club of Heroes]] reunion that turned sour with the murder of host John Mayhew, el Gaucho literally stabbed the robot scorpion creeping up on the Musketeer, recognizing it not only as deadly, but as the calling card of his enemy Scorpiana.
