* In Literature/FullMetalPanic anime adaptation, Mithril operators use Cornershot attachments on their rifles during the hostage crisis under the Yangtze River.

There are CoolGuns, but when your gun isn't cool enough by itself, what do you do? [[strike:Why, you attach a ton of junk to it, of course!]] '''Tactic'''ool.

* [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Megatron's]] original incarnation was a "''Series/TheManFromUncle''" [[CoolGuns Walther P38]], with an additional barrel extension, scope (which became his [[WaveMotionGun fusion cannon]]) and stock. Megatron's stock was a bit chunkier than on the U.N.C.L.E. Special, though, as it also transformed into a stand for the extension, which became a separate cannon, though this feature was never used in the cartoon or comics.

* Creator/FPSRussia will typically display a variety of CoolGuns on his show with the occasional bit of AbnormalAmmo, but occasionally the main feature is an accessory/conversion kit. Past episodes have included kits to turn rifles into smaller, lighter rifles (usually cheap, plasticy garbage); kits to turn pistols into bigger, meaner pistols; and kits to turn rifles (and in one case a shotgun) into a bullpup configuration. Individual attachments like scopes are rare, though one episode about a tactical shotgun featured a variety of SWAT-style attachments.

* In ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', Dalton uses a Walther WA2000 equipped with a rather large night vision scope and his own hand-loaded ammunition.

** As ridiculous as the idea sounds, [[TruthInTelevision some weapons (the SIG SG 550 for example) have magazines designed to be clipped together,]] and Heckler and Koch even makes a specific accessory that holds two [=MP5=] magazines together (they're about an inch apart) to facilitate speedy reloading. The practice is depreciated for calibres of 7.62x39mm and larger, however, as it adds enough weight to play merry hell with the weapon's balance.[[note]]Ignore that, like with everything else you shouldn't do with a gun, most video games which have taped-together magazines at all will ''only'' have ones of that caliber used in this manner.[[/note]]

** The basic Seven-Gun may actually be loosely based on a RealLife [[RareGuns Rare Gun]], the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeMat_Revolver LeMat revolver.]]

* In one strip of the Swedish comic ''Hälge'', the local though-guy Uffe decided that a silencer was to sissy, so he attached an [[BangBangBang amplifier]] instead. Edwin who was next to him was visibly shaken by the thing.

** with great irony, it was the Israelis who first revived what was originally a Nazi German weapon with a curved barrel and a reduced-charge round, so that their soldiers had a rifle capable of accurately shooting round corners for urban combat use. Their version is apparently regarded as the best in the world, which eliminates the problems the Germans had with their original.
