Line 12 ⟶ 13:
However, certain genres have [[Rule of Cool|put the "cool"]] back into guns. It's all about style, so expect a lot of flourishes that wouldn't work in real life, such as using [[Guns Akimbo]].
* A. '''[[Improbable Aiming Skills|The Trick Shot]]:''' Can shoot the wings off the back of a fly while hanging upside down and having to ricochet off a wall or two. Will occasionally interact with surroundings using same pistol.
* B. '''[[More Dakka|The Vaporizer]]:''' Who cares if one bullet misses when some of the 2,000 rounds will inevitably hit? And explode? This version relies on [[BFG
* C. '''[[Gun Fu|The Woo]]:''' Tends to be an expert with [[Bullet Time]] and [[Gun Fu]], with an emphasis on [[Handguns|pistols]], very close combat, and [[Super Speed|the ability to move faster than a million different pieces of supersonic lead]]. Alternatively, a master of [[Gun Kata]]. The version most likely to use [[Guns Akimbo|two guns at once.]]
* D. '''The [[Quick Draw]]:''' There's a hole in your head where that thought of squaring up against this guy used to be. And what shots others happen to sneak are ''intercepted mid-flight''.
The [[Young Gun]] is a Gunslinger in infancy. You get double bonus points if [[Girls with Guns|your gunslinger is a girl]]. Also expect [[Marked Bullet
For the eponymous [[Stephen King]] hero who epitomizes the trope, see ''[[The Dark Tower/The Gunslinger|The Dark Tower]]''. Also has nothing to do with [[Team Fortress 2|mechanical arms.]]
Compare [[Superhero Packing Heat]], [[Samurai Cowboy]]. For a character with similar traits who uses longer ranged weapons, see the [[Cold Sniper]] and [[Friendly Sniper]].

== General Fiction ==
* Pick a [[The Western|Western]], any Western.
** Especially and most impressively [[Lucky Luke]]. A
*** To great comedic effect. His most famous trick is of course shooting ''his own shadow'' before it can draw. In the
*** Another animated example (from the 80s series) where recurring villain Joe Dalton throws a few coins in the air and shoots each of them to impress Lucky Luke, to which the cowboy replies by throwing a dollar bill in the air and shooting it...causing a hail of small change to fall on Joe's head.
*** In one of his first encounters with Billy the Kid, Billy tries to show off his speed by dropping a piece of candy and drawing his gun before it touches the ground. Lucky Luke then drops another piece, draws his gun, ''holsters it again'', then catches the candy and eats it. Billy is visibly upset. It was his candy, too.
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼
▲== Anime and Manga ==
* Train Heartnet from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' combines elements from A, C, and D. He also practices [[Gun Kata]].
* Genjyo Sanzo from ''[[Saiyuki]]'' is definitely A, being able to {{spoiler|shoot a seed implanted next to Gojyo's heart by Chin Yiso without hitting the heart}}. In ''Reload'', he also managed to hit {{spoiler|Ukoku}} with a pistol 3 times the size of his weapon of choice...which he had never fired before, not even once...while suffering from multiple broken bones.
Line 58:
** Rushuna also covers type D. While wielding one six-shooter, she has outshot a multi-barreled machine gun by not only shooting the bullets out of the air but hitting them so precisely they then blocked entire chains of other bullets.
* All of the main characters from ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''.
* While her [[Guns Akimbo|guns]] are very small, Natsuki from ''[[
* Depending on the weapon he's using, Gene Starwind of [[Outlaw Star]] alternates between A (pistols), or B (machine guns or rocket launchers)
* Usopp in ''[[One Piece]]'' somehow manages to be a Type A without ever actually using a firearm (at least not one using traditional chemical propulsion).
Line 65:
* In several displays of skill, Riza Hawkeye from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' combines ALL FOUR of the above types. A is shown in her incredible long-distance sniping skill, while B and C are shown in her battles with the homunculi. Finally, D is shown in Roy's fight with Scar.
* Mana Tatsumiya and Yuna Akashi of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. Mana is a combination of Type A and Type C: she [[Guns Akimbo|dual wields]] ''[[Hand Cannon|Desert Eagles]]'', which is perhaps only marginally made believable by [[Huge Schoolgirl|her size]] and is so skillful with a sniper rifle that she can also [[Improbable Aiming Skills|use ricocheting to work around the fact that her targets are behind a wall]], but in close-range combat she falls into [[Gun Fu]] mode. Yuna is an obvious [[Quick Draw|Type D]] who uses twin pistols.
* Teana Lanster of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'' is a [[Magical Girl]] gunslinger who uses Type C. ''[[
* Ryoma from ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]''.
* Brandon Heat/Death Beyond the Grave from ''[[Gungrave]]'': while during his human life Brandon preferred type A, C and D, super-human strength of his undead state allowed him to carry big enough guns (the [[Hand Cannon|Cerberus handguns]] and the [[BFG|coffin]]) to add type B to the list.
Line 87:
* Switzerland from [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] is almost always seen with a gun.
* ''[[Battle Angel Alita]]'', though Alita very rarely uses a gun. There's a phase about book 5-6 of the manga where she gets one, but mostly she fights unarmed.
* Believe it or not, in the [[OVA
* Yoko from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' carries an over-sized, high-energy sniper rifle with her wherever she goes.
* Akane from ''[[Kämpfer]]'' is normally a nice, quiet girl. Upon her transformation into a Kampfer however, her [[Badass]] side appears along with a gun, and then starts firing at pretty much everything in sight she decides she doesn't like.
* Bisca from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' is the female half of a gunslinging [[Battle Couple]] with Alzack. [[Cannot Spit It Out|Neither of them seems able to admit their feelings for one another]].
* Maya from ''Burn Up W/Excess''. Being a gun nut, she's so crazy for her weapons that [[I Call It "Vera"|she gives them names]]. Type B, given that most of her arsenal qualifies as "big guns".
* In ''[[Shikabane Hime]]'', Makina's weapon of choice is a pair of MAC-11 machine pistols.
== [[Comic Books]] ==▼
▲== Comic Books ==
* [[Batman]] foe Deadshot is a villainous example of Type A.
** In ''[[Secret Six]]'', He's a combination of Type A and D, though he occasionally becomes a type B when facing someone with [[Contractual Immortality]] and [[Dodge the Bullet]] skills.
Line 108 ⟶ 107:
* Being a [[Vietnam War]] veteran, [[The Punisher]] mainly uses A (rifles) or B ([[More Dakka|machine guns and explosive launchers]]), but occasionally utilizes C ([[Guns Akimbo|twin pistols]]) and even D (quickdraw with one pistol).
* Stan Lynde's comic strip ''Rick O'Shay'' featured introspective yet deadly gunslinger Hipshot Percussion, types A and D.
* The protagonists in ''[[Sin City]]'' all use guns. Hartigan is Type D since he usually draws and fires a single shot without having to move too much (he is [[Badass Grandpa|pushing sixty with a bum-ticker]],
* The [[Marvel Comics]] character The Two Gun Kid, being a displaced cowboy, is the embodiment of this trope in the Marvelverse, hitting both the A and D types.
* ''[[Wynonna Earp]]'' tends towards C and D, with occassional elements of the other two.
Line 114 ⟶ 113:
* [[Dark Age of Supernames|Ballistic]] in [[The DCU]] was a superpowered Type B. No one was too upset when he was killed off in ''[[Infinite Crisis]]''.
== [[Film]] ==▼
▲== Film ==
* Pick any movie made by or influenced by [[John Woo]].
* The Mariachi from ''[[Desperado]]'' is a quintessential Type C with undertones of Type A. This departs from the ''[[Accidental Hero]]'' played straight in ''El Mariachi'', who killed his adversaries almost unintentionally. Common to expanding characters in this trope, [[Flanderization]] overtakes this character and others in ''Once Upon a Time in Mexico''.
Line 131 ⟶ 129:
* In ''[[Maverick (film)|Maverick]]'', the eponymous characters reveals himself to be a [[Quick Draw]], but is not an actual gunfighter, preferring to bluff his way out of conflicts. This is in contrast to the [[Maverick (TV series)|original tv series]], in which both the Maverick brothers are said to be incredibly ''slow'' on the draw. Bart once claimed that Bret could outdraw him any day of the week, and that Bret's nickname was "The Second Slowest Gun in the West".
* Rattlesnake Jake in ''[[Rango]]'' is a combination of type B and D, and Rango claims to be a type A, and on one occasion, is one due to [[Accidental Aiming Skills|dumb luck]]
* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' Jack Sparrow is a type A. [[The Musketeer|Most of the fighting he does is melee,]] but when he takes up a gun it's always to do a single shot which ''needs'' to count. To wit, he fires a gun once per film in each of the first three films
* Jimmy Ringo in ''[[The Gunfighter]]'' is a Type D.
* Lola from ''T[[Transporter 2]]'' [[Guns Akimbo|dual wields]] [[More Dakka|submachine guns]].
* Alice in the ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' movies.
* Sharon Stone's character Ellen in ''[[The Quick and the Dead]]''.
* [[Helen Mirren]] in ''[[RED (film)]]'' with a [[BFG|50 Cal. Machine Gun]] shows that this trope isn't [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|exclusive]] to younger [[Action Girl
* ''[[Collateral]]'': Vincent is a type D - [[Quick Draw]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=H8-P8sJNHk0#t=167s It's even mentioned by one of the actors in the documentary at 3:00.]
* In ''The Fastest Gun Alive'' Glenn Ford plays a store clerk who gets tired of the overblown stories of the townspeople and shows them how fast he is, shooting two silver dollars in the air. Unfortunately, this draws the attention of an outlaw who will start killing people if Ford does not face him. The truth is that Ford is the son of a famous sheriff who taught him to shoot, but he never worked up the courage to face anyone. He changed his name and hid from his past. In the end Ford has to prove himself.

▲* Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan of ''[[Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way vs. Canon|Sapphire Eleanor Rose Suzette de Mont vs. Canon]]'' is never seen without her [[Big Fucking Gun]].
* [[Knight Errant|Roland of Gilead]], the Last Gunslinger of Stephen King's ''magnum opus'', ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' series. As The Dark Tower is fairly realistic in terms of gunplay, Roland only exhibits types A and D. He never has enough ammunition to be a B type (and would probabley consider it to be obscenely wasteful), and is only a type C insofar as dual wielding (albeit briefly).
** Considering he's using single action revolvers, and could only dual wield by thumbing the hammers, doing it at all is quite impressive.
Line 152 ⟶ 148:
* ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]''. Hawkeye ([[Supporting Leader|Natty Bumppo]]) is America's first Gunslinger in literature, of [[Improbable Aiming Skills|Type A]]. On film, he's capable of [[Dual-Wielding]] -- [[Guns Akimbo|frontier long rifles]]! And reloading a musket ''on the run''. He can also pick off a running man at 200 yards with a muzzle-loader, and in ''[[The Leatherstocking Tales]]'' he does frontier [[William Telling|William Tell]] tricks, including firing a musket-ball ''into'' another musket-ball which his compatriots had used to drive a nail into a post at 50 yards.
* ''[[The Executioner]]''. Mack Bolan has shown A, B, and even C tendancies at time, although not to a superhuman extent, as have his <s>ripoffs</s> homages like [[The Punisher]].
* Matthew Stark in ''[[Cloud of Sparrows]]'' is a somewhat more historically accurate version than usual. He's a dirty, coarse, violent man who nevertheless is good at heart. He's also able to out-reflex [[
* ''[[Shane]]'' of course.
* From [[David Gemmell]]'s ''Stones of Power'' series, Jon Shannow, the Jerusalem Man.
Line 168 ⟶ 164:
* Back in the early days of the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], Han Solo had several run-ins with a professional gunman named Gallandro, a mercenary renowned for being the fastest gun in the galaxy. [[Famed in Story|Exploits attributed to him]] include hunting down a crime family, single handedly hijacking a star-liner and forcing the Assassin's Guild to default on a contract (by hunting down and killing half of their Elite Guard).
* In [[Chasm City]], it was said of the protagonist that he could take out specific brain functions with a shot, making him a Type A. He laments to another character that he was never actually ''that'' good, but says he did come close.
* There is a subversion in [[Horatio Hornblower|Mr. Midshipman Hornblower]] where Hornblower is oppressed by a bully and so engineers a duel with him, making sure he gets the choice of weapons. As his opponent is far better both with gun and sword, he simply [[Russian Roulette|randomizes]] the contest. Latter he is warned by his captain that getting through that with his honor intact is all very well but he is best not to try it again because everyone knows that ''all'' who are skillful gunslingers are bullies; why else would they get in enough fights to get any practice?
▲== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' has Elle Greenaway, Emily Prentiss, and Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, all of whom are incidentally very good shots (Emily is probably the worst shot out of all of them, but that's not really saying much, since the only time she's ever really *missed* was about thirty seconds after getting a concussion in a car crash) and look hot in kevlar. JJ once even killed an UnSub with a perfect headshot through a glass-paned FBI door. Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia has only held a gun once.
* Mal in ''[[Firefly]]'' exhibits D to some (humanly possible) degree, gaining quicker draw and better aim the more pressure he's under. His two partners, Zoe and Jayne, tend toward A and B respectively, with Zoe providing the pinpoint accuracy and Jayne providing the [[More Dakka|Dakka]].
Line 177 ⟶ 173:
* [[MacGyver]]'s arch-nemesis Murdoc appears a stereotypical black clad gunslinger (seemingly a Type D) in the [[Western]] [[All Just a Dream]] episode "Serenity".
* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'': Thees ees a chob for the ''Riviera Kid''!(funny dance)
* ''[[Farscape]]'''s Aeryn Sun. Especially impressive when compared to the male lead, who attempts to fire a gun only to have to throw it away as it explodes. Even after [[Took a Level
* Mossad liaison Ziva David from ''[[NCIS]]''. Always lethally skilled with firearms (and everything else up to and including Kleenex and rubber bands), in an episode she exhibited the ability to [[Guns Akimbo|dual wield]] a semiautomatic pistol and a revolver (at 90-degree angles to each other, no less) in a shootout to protect a Federal witness in their hideout hotel. Result: two dead [[Mooks]], dead via simultanious [[Pretty Little Headshots]], and Ziva, not so much as scratched, calmly reholstering as McGee and the terrified witness crawl out of the hotel bathroom.
* ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' has one for each season. Rarely two gunslingers. Usually, the rider has a weapon that can change into a gun.
Line 208 ⟶ 204:
{{quote|'''Horatio''': What do you get when you mix a six foot man with a three foot gun?
'''Calleigh''': Hot flashes. But that's just me. }}
* On ''[[
** Kari said in a behind-the-scenes interview once that, being a good Californian, she was very anti-gun before working with Mythbusters, and after their second or third gun myths special, she found that she had turned into a gun nerd along the way. She now privately owns several firearms of her own and never seems to be far away when they're testing gun myths on the show.
* ''[[Star Trek:
* The [[Big Bad]]'s henchgirl from ''[[Der Clown]] ? Payday'' seems to always carry a machine gun with her. And yes, she can shoot it better than any SWAT member.
** Subverted by the heroine who tries and first fails to shoot the same type of gun. She even asks for a manual after she picked it up.
Line 217 ⟶ 213:
* The titular character of ''[[The Rifleman]]''
* Booth on ''[[Bones]].''
* Paladin of ''[[Have Gun — Will Travel]]'' is a classic type D.

* The notorius Cypher of ''[[Warhammer
▲* Quite popular in the ''[[Necromunda]]'' setting. Among the House gangs, if you're not a [[The Gunslinger|Gunslinger]], you're probably a [[Young Gun]]. You have rifle-wielding snipers for Type A, heavies who carry one of a variety of [[BFG|BFGs]], or a melee fighter who [[Guns Akimbo|dual-wields pistols]] or a pistol and close combat weapon.
▲* The notorius Cypher of ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' is well-known for wielding a pair of exquisitely crafted pistols (not similar; one is a bolt pistol, the other is plasma).
** Not to mention outdrawing and killing one of Abaddon's Terminator bodyguards so fast that even Abaddon nearly missed it.
** It's reflected on the tabletop too - he was the only character in the game that could fire both pistols twice in one turn.
Line 252 ⟶ 245:
* ''[[Heroscape]]'' has several according to their bios, but only Deadeye Dan has actual effects that make him this. He's a type A who has two abilities: one which gives him a half chance to deal one damage (which is deadly to characters with one life and high defence) and the other which gives him a one tenth change of '''instant killing''' '''''anyone'''''.
== [[Video Games]] ==▼
▲== Video Games ==
* Samus Aran of ''[[Metroid]]'', as well as her Zero Suit incarnation.
* Ein alias Phantom from ''[[Phantom of Inferno]]''.
Line 275 ⟶ 267:
* Created by the same person who created ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', ''[[Bayonetta]]'' takes all 4 types to truly outlandish degrees. From regular hand guns to shot guns to ROCKET LAUNCHER TONFAS, and so many other weapons, Bayonetta is currently one of the most insane examples of the gunslinger in video games so far.
* Vermilion from ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden]]'' is a type B, carrying a peacemaker in one hand, and a ''[[This Is My Boomstick|shotgun]]'' in the other.
* Noel Vermillion from the ''[[
* Reaver from the second ''[[Fable]]'' game is type A and D. Makes sense, considering that {{spoiler|not only is he the Hero of Skill,}} but also that {{spoiler|by the time you see his fighting skills in action, he's had hundreds of years to practice his shots.}}
** Your player character itself is a type A, as maxed skill lets you hit from any distance, and kill with one shot.
Line 283 ⟶ 275:
** And Helter Skelter in the trailer and opening has a nice set of guns, too.
*** Then there's his brother, Skelter Helter, who wields a revolver ''[[Impossibly Cool Weapon|with a revolving set of cylinders]]''.
* All the main characters in the ''[[Wild
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'' has Maria. Her marksmanship works very well with her ability to manipulate matter and energy.
* The Heavy from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' suits Type B perfectly. [[More Dakka]], indeed.
Line 306 ⟶ 298:
** In the second game, there's Rozalin and the Gunner class, the third has Salvatore and the Gunslinger class, and the fourth has Vulcanus.
* From the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' Series
** Barret Wallace and Vincent Valentine from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. Barret is a type B mostly while Vincent is a type A and type D but sticks to using only one gun rather than two, though thats due to the armored gauntlet on his left arm. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on whether Vincent counts as a proper
** [[Final Fantasy VIII|Irvine Kinneas]] who can be many different types on depending on the ammo type he uses and Laguna Loire who is a [[Badass Normal]] who is a type B with his signature machine gun.
*** For his appearance in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Duodecim]]'', Laguna was promoted to being capable of weilding more gun types than your average FPS protagonist. Aside from his signature [[More Dakka|machine gun]], he also acquired a [[Short-Range Shotgun|shotgun]], a [[Sniper Rifle]], a [[Macross Missile Massacre|multi-rocket launcher]], a [[Stuff Blowing Up|bazooka]], and several weapon fixtures from a technologically advanced '''airship''' which each fire various flavours of [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser]] (one of which being called down from an '''''[[Kill Sat|orbiting satellite]]'''''). All of this, PLUS the few types of [[Throw Down the Bomblet|gren]][[Trick Bomb|ades]] he also gets to use.
Line 330 ⟶ 322:
* Rubi, the main character of ''[[Wet]]'' dual-wields all of her guns.

* Bea from ''[[Boktai|Lunar Knights]]'' is the only female of the Three Gunslingers. Her weapon of choice is the Witch. There are other female Guild members who use standard-issue Solar Guns based on the Knight as well.
* In ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'', we get Ashelin, Tess, Taryn, and (post-[[Adrenaline Makeover]]) Keira, though [[Action Girl|only Ashelin]] actually shoots anything.
Line 341 ⟶ 333:
* In ''[[Guild Wars 2]]'', half the classes can use guns, but only the Warrior (with rifles) and the Thief (with pistols) really fit this trope, which usually overlaps with [[The Musketeer]] after weapon-switching gets unlocked.

▲* Gordito from ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' wields [[Guns Akimbo]] with [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] -- enough skill to earn the respect of the McNinja family. His late father, The Amazing Flying Shooting Juan, was even better.
** The Amazing Flying Shooting Juan's greatest trick deserves some explanation:
*** An audience volunteer picks a card without giving Juan any hint which one.
Line 350 ⟶ 341:
*** The shot propels the card into an entirely different part of the city and into the leg of a person.
*** The person shot is knocked into a police station, at which point they are identified as the person who looted the volunteer's apartment some time ago.

** Kathryn Flinders is type C/D. She says she was fifth in her class in pistol qualification. Also, both a martial artist (that's how she was introduced) and can make a good use of heavier weapons as well. How fast she is? When a guy was about to shoot her, she kicked the pistol out of his hand, in the time it took his weapon to fly as far as an arm's length she finished drawing and raising a holdout, and then killed him with a headshot before he could react. Also, she can do this with either hand and half a dozen times in quick sequence..
