Line 10:
May be tied in with a [[Lock and Load Montage]]. Compare and contrast [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] and [[Extended Disarming]]. Usually seen in a [[Survivalist Stash]] as part of the supplies. Can overlap with [[Gun Porn]].

{{examples}}
Line 19:
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl|Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino]]''. Pinnochio has one from which he selects a couple of vz61 Skorpions for Franco and Franca.
* Homura from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' is already notable for using her [[Magical Girl]] [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] to carry around not only [[Superhero Packing Heat|guns]], but ''military ordnance''. But then along comes the finale, when she finds herself {{spoiler|facing Walpurgisnacht alone}}, and we get a look at [http://images.puella-magi.net/4/49/Homura_Heavy_Weapons_Kata.jpg just how much stuff she actually has]. And that image is only a fraction of it.
* A weird example can be found in ''[[Rosario
** Later in the manga, recently-introduced character Fong-Fong of the [[The Triads and the Tongs|Wong family]] apparently keeps assault rifles, handguns, and dynamite on the wall in the kitchen. Given that he's the heir of the biggest and baddest youkai gang in Hong Kong and the family house is like a castle, it makes a little more sense.
Line 61:
* In ''[[The Mummy Trilogy]]'' Rick is frequently shown to have numerous guns nearby at all times, in case he has to blow off some mummy's head.
** This habit leads to this exchange in the second movie: "You want the shotgun?" "Actually, I prefer the Thompson."
** In the first movie, during the boat voyage down the Nile, Rick startles Evy when he thunks down a heavy duffle bag right in front of her, then unrolls it to reveal that the duffle is stuffed with weapons.
* Captain Englehorn in Peter Jackson's ''[[King Kong]]'' not only has a rack of rifles on the wall of his ship's cabin, but also keeps a stash of Thompson submachine guns ''under his bed''.
* [[Boondock Saints]] features a Basement Room of Weapons, up to and including a DShK heavy machinegun. Curiously, a pair of pimptastic Desert Eagles (and gold watches, a pager, and two moneyclips full of large denomination bills) is sufficient payment for a whole duffel bag of guns.
Line 88:
{{quote|'''Narrator:''' The child-sized weapons were helpfully placed on the bottom shelf, so kids wouldn't have to climb to reach them.}}
* The interior of the manor house from ''[[Garrett P.I.|Old Tin Sorrows]]'' was decorated in this trope.
* A highly overpowered disposable assault weapon forms a key part of the climax of [[William Gibson]] 's All Tomorrow's Parties. It's hidden ''inside'' a wall, which has been plastered over.

Line 94:
** In the season/series finale, {{spoiler|the [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] comes when he's sleeping, hears what are obviously (to the viewer) fighting noises, sits halfway up, pulls down the cloth covering this wall, heroic music begins to swell... then pulls the cloth over himself as a blanket and goes back to sleep.}}
* When Michael Vaughn goes to Jack Bristow for help in ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', Bristow shows him his underground bunker, where every available surface is covered in guns and other assorted weapons.
* In ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' all hunters have a hidden wall of weapons in their home, vehicle, or house of worship. Sam and Dean are the exception, having only a trunkfull of weapons.
* ''[[Angel]]'' keeps a cabinet full of many different weapons, ranging from swords and crossbows to a sharpened baseball bat. In Season 5 he starts keeping what is probably an entirely different set on the wall of his office.
* ''[[Buffy]]'' has one, too, in her training room at the Magic Box.
Line 124:
* The Orks in ''[[Warhammer 40000]] [[Dawn of War]]'' have a structure literally called a "Pile O' Gunz" where weapon upgrades are researched. It looks [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|just like what it's called]]. This is less them being [[Crazy Prepared]] as them understanding of the need for [[More Dakka]].
** Don't forget the little gretchin who [[Pooled Funds|dives into the pile for a swim every now and again.]]
* In ''[[Hitman]] 2'' as you collect weapons from the level you slowly build up a wall of weapons in a shed. Oddly enough he [[Interface Spoiler|knows exactly how many different types of weapons he'll find and have a space earmarked for it]].
** Reused in Blood Money, but taken to even more illogical extremes, with 47 having slots available for an Elephant Rifle, a Six Shooter and a nail gun. Possibly justified this time as the game takes place in a flashback and so he would have added the spaces as he got the weapons.
* Similarly ''[[Far Cry]] 2'' has an armory next to every gun shop in the game, where the player can always find an unlimited supply of weapons they bought from the dealer. Empty spaces for future guns are sort of justified, as the armory clearly belongs to the dealer, and he would know his own inventory.
