Line 7:
Sometimes simply holding a weapon just isn't cool enough. Some characters just have to have weapons in the most unexpected places, like on their shoulder, on their head, or even ''inside'' a limb. Maybe they just have [[More Dakka|so much dakka]] that they can't fit any more weapons in conventional places. Or maybe they're just weird.
Subtropes include the [[Arm Cannon]], [[Leg Cannon]], [[Shoulder Cannon]], [[Weaponized Headgear]] and [[Chest Blaster]]. Compare [[Natural Weapon]]s for when they're already part of the wielder.

Line 78:
* In ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' shoulder-mounted and forearm-mounted weapons are occasionally seen. Commissar Yarrick has a laser weapon in his bionic eye.
** Let's not forget the [[Humongous Mecha|Titans]], bipedal war machines standing between 30 and several hundred feet tall, which tend to put weapons everywhere they can fit. The Ork version, Gargants, do that too, and also put weapons where they ''don't'' fit, like on top of OTHER weapons.
** Eldar Striking Scorions have "mandiblasters" [[Weaponized Headgear|on the sides of their helmets]].
** Tau Broadside Battlesuits, which can fire either their arm-mounted missile pods or their shoulder-mounted [[Magnetic Weapons|railguns]]... Or vice-versa on the mounting, if you get creative with a hobby knife.
* [[Munchkin (game)|Munchkin]] has in one expansion the Shooty Hat, which is a hat with a miniature cannon on it.
