The [[Mad Scientist]] or [[Big Bad]] tests or demonstrates his latest weapon, not on beer cans or inoffensive paper targets like any decent [[Trigger Happy|gun-nut]] would, but on live human beings!

Definitely a subtrope of [[Kick the Dog]]. See also [[Innocent Bystander]] and [[Disposable Vagrant]]. [[Professor Guinea Pig]] is when the thing being tested isn't a weapon, and the Mad Scientist uses it on his or herself. [[Guinea Pig Family]] is when the Mad Scientist uses his family.

* In ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'' after Raballo dies, Claes becomes unsuited for field work, so she's relegated to being the test bed for each new iteration of cyborg technology.
