Weapon Across the Shoulder: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

A popular pose for [[I Like Swords|swordsmen]], gunslingers, or [[An Axe to Grind|any]] [[Sinister Scythe|other]] [[Blade on a Stick|title]] that is describing a specific weapon user. This is when someone who forgoes carrying a sheath or holster and instead lets their weapon rest lazily slung over their shoulder when not in use. This is often invoked by characters whose weapon diagonally [[Sticks to the Back]]. It [[Incredibly Lame Pun|carries]] the I-Don't-Give-A-Damn effect while making the weapon look [[Cool Sword|cooler]]. Much like [[Gun Twirling]], this is purely for [[Rule of Cool]] since anyone in this pose runs the risk of hurting themselves. It does have some level of practicality: a particularly large [[BFS|blade]] or [[BFG|gun]] is difficult to hold in any other way.
