Line 5:
Can be done with a [[Finger Gun]], especially if the user has [[Finger Firearms]]. Compare [[Lethal Joke Item]].
{{examples}}
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Detective Richard [[Fell]] was [[Genre Savvy]] enough to recognize that the [[Ax Crazy]] guy putting razors into grocery produce was probably dangerous with a banana in his hand.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* In a ''[[Pink Panther]]'' comic, Pink Panther threatens the villain with his pointer finger. The villain laughs... [[Finger Gun|and Pink Panther somehow manages to fire from his finger]].

▲* In the [[Babar]] movie, when Baber, Celeste, & Zephir's attempt to impersonate a rhino [[Totem Pole Trench]] style with the aid of a cape and a banana doesn't work out, Zephir quickly finds another use for the latter:
'''Retaxas:''' Watch out! He's got a banana!▼

'''Zephir:''' And I'm not afraid to use it! *squirts it in Retaxas' face, temporarily blinding him and letting Babar snatch his sword* }}▼

* Played for drama in ''[[Chronicle]]'' where Andrew points a [[Finger Gun]] at a local gang member and uses his [[Mind Over Matter|telekinesis]] to knock him down.
* Used in the ''[[Hancock]]'' when Hancock uses a candy bar to disable a would-be robber.
== [[Literature]] ==
* Subverted (or ''something'') in the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld/Sourcery|Sourcery]]''. Rincewind is desparate enough to attack [[A God Am I|Living God]] and [[Reality Warper]] Coin with… a half-brick in a sock. Not that it actually works or anything, but Coin is so fascinated by the concept (half-bricks in socks don't ever really occur to you when you have limitless magic at your disposal) that he spares Rincewind.
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Get Smart]]'' - Maxwell Smart had a .22 calibre [[Finger Gun]]. Fires two shots.
** Inverted when KAOS abducts Smart, with his escaping being part of their plan. At one point Smart raises a finger to a KAOS guy who throws up his hands, as if Smart had a finger gun. Smart insists it's just a finger and shows the KAOS guy, who gives up and leaves. Alone in his cell, Smart mutters to himself "Come ''on'', Smart. Use that fantastic ''brain'' of yours!"
Line 38 ⟶ 31:
* A literal example in a duel segment of ''[[Turkey Television]]''. When choosing their pistols, one of the duelists is forced to take a banana. The real pistol jams, but the banana fires a lethal blast and kills the other duelist.
* Zig-zagged in a ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' sketch with a police sergeant teaching his charges how to defend themselves against anyone armed with fresh fruit. He uses a gun, a 16-ton weight, and a tiger.
** What about a pointed stick?
*** Shut up!

* ''[[The Goon Show]]'' - "You fool, you can't shoot me with a banana, it's-" Bang! Bang! "... swine ... it was ... loaded!" *thump"
** In another episode, Seagoon is told that Moriarty killed himself by pointing his finger at his head, and saying "bang".

* ''[[Stage Select]]'' is the trope namer for this [https://web.archive.org/web/20110828024514/http://www.stage-select.com/comic.php?archive=0059 page] and this [https://web.archive.org/web/20110828022504/http://www.stage-select.com/comic.php?archive=0085 page].
== [[Web Original]] ==
* A ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' [[Machinima]] where the Heavy invents a Sandvich gun [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7q3_NWcH_M proves surprisingly effective].
