* ''Fanfic/HoursVerse'': Downplayed. After the Velvet Room siblings are forced out by [[spoiler: Yaldabaoth's take-over]], they all take up conventional weapons in addition to their normal skills. Elizabeth chooses battleaxes, Margaret chooses rapiers, and Theodore chooses swords and pistols.

* In the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' films, Bond's weapon of choice had always been a Walther PPK chambered in .32 or .380 ACP. However, in ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'', Bond (played here by Roger Moore) uses a Walther P5 throughout the movie, at one point lampshading to Q that he had "mislaid his PPK". In ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', Bond (Creator/PierceBrosnan) switches to a Walther P99 in the middle of the film and it stays for three more films as Bond's sidearm, even when the series underwent a ContinuityReboot with Creator/DanielCraig as James Bond. However, Craig switched back to the PPK in his second film and the PKK stayed for the rest of his tenure as Bond.

* In many incarnations of the ''Franchise/TombRaider'' series, Lara Croft primarily wielded dual pistols as her weapon of choice. But in the "[[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 Survivor Timeline]]", which has taken things in a more [[StealthBasedGame Stealth Action Game]] direction, Lara's weapon of choice is a [[ArcherArchetype bow]], which lends itself far more to this kind of gameplay than GunsAkimbo.

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': The original Ultra Magnus is armed with a rifle and (seldom-used) shoulder rockets. His depiction here lacks both of those weapons and instead has the giant [[DropTheHammer Magnus Hammer]], which has influenced later versions of the character.

* In ''Film/TheWolverine'', Harada's main weapon is a bow instead of the katana he used as the Silver Samurai in the original comics. [[spoiler:This is because it is actually Ichiro Yashida who is the real Silver Samurai]].

** As mentioned above, since ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' protagonists rely heavily on HeroesPreferSwords, there have been major complaints that the series representatives tend to have similar playstyles. As a result, [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Byleth]] went from simply owning a WhipSword to wielding ''four'' different Hero Relics (their trademark Sword of the Creator, the axe Aymr, the spear Areadbhar, and the bow Failnaught) with the other three being borrowed from other characters from the original game, in order to vary their moveset more heavily.
