Teleport Gun: Difference between revisions

 

Inversions and other Subversions, like guns that teleport bullets through walls to reach a target, or guns that teleport virtually endless ammunition from another location into their magazines, are worthy of mention. Subtrope of [[Weaponized Teleportation]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Gantz (Manga)|Gantz]]'', the "Y-Gun" traps its victims with a net, then teleports them to an unknown location.

 

** Actually, the weapon was referred to as a Phaser, not a Disruptor (different mechanics- a Phaser is more versatile, with multiple non-lethal settings). That being established, it's possible the weapon was an integral part of the illusion: it may have been modified into a "true" Teleport Gun rather than simply relying on beaming the target away a split second before a Phaser set on "kill" or a disruptor (without a "stun" setting) could vaporize him.

** Another episode of ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine (TV)|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'' featured a projectile rifle that was modified with a special scope and a microtransporter, enabling the user to fire bullets through walls, bulkheads and (presumably, though not confirmed) force fields. Not a straight example (since the ammunition was transported, not the target or user), but [[Playing With a Trope|played with enough to warrant mention]].

* Several episodes of ''[[Earth Final Conflict]]'' featured a black market device based on Taelon technology that was like a harpoon gun that deployed an interdimensional Gate for personal use.

* ''[[Time Trax]]'': Darian Lambert is a cop from the future who has come back in time to retreive criminals who escaped from 2193. When he finds them he shoots them with a beam or a pellet gun disguised as a car alarm remote; the pellet or beam ([[Depending On the Writer]]) doses them with some [[Phlebotinum]] and sends a signal that the person is ready for transport.
