[[Ornamental Weapon|Not everyone who carries a weapon actually uses it]]. Sometimes it's best to have something to make you look intimidating, be it a large staff or a gun. It might actually be completely useless (such as an unloaded gun or even a toy gun). Other times it's just not needed all that much, but when you need it, it'll get the job done.
May lead to an unfortunate demise through the [[Shoot Him! He Has a Wallet!]] trope.
Subtrope of [[Useless Accessory]]. The [[Sword of Damocles]] is an upscaled version of this trope; a weapon so fearsome it brings nations or worlds to their knees in fear of it. If you don't even have a fake weapon, but wish to achieve the same effect, that's a [[Brandishment Bluff]].
