History Main / GunPorn

* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' has the "buying from an illegal arms dealer" version when Mike Ehrmantraut considers buying a sniper rifle from Lawson (who also sells weapons to Walter White in ''Series/BreakingBad)

** ''VideoGame/{{Black}}'' is a game described to be basically Gun Porn. Even Wiki/ThatOtherWiki redirects "Gun Porn" to it. In fact, that was the unofficial tagline for a while (not to mention copiously used by the developers in interviews). The menu background for the game consists of slow-motion shots rotating around highly detailed gun models in all possible directions, often throwing in the guns firing in order to really seal the deal.

** Naked Snake is a bit of a gun pornographer himself. The way he describes the [=M1911A1=] he gets from EVA early on his mission sounds exactly the way car enthusiasts talk about their rides. Seriously, he sounds more excited about the gun than he is about the hot, AbsoluteCleavage baring woman who's trying to seduce him. PlayedForLaughs in the special features, where [[spoiler:it's a lighter that EVA uses when he pulls the trigger. Snake's face is ''PRICELESS.'']]

** The GunFu / GunKata fight between Mami and Homura in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' takes this trope UpToEleven, with Homura drawing out one ''incredibly'' detailed firearm after another as she combats Mami's multitude of musket rifles. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jURnqQLMNvk It must be seen to be believed.]]

** Taken UpToEleven by ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', where every manufacturer now have their own distinctive style not only limited to color scheme and different grips. To increase the count, it is possible to generate guns with components from different companies: for example, a Torgue shotgun with a side-by-side Jakobs double-barrel, a design familiar to anyone who's seen a picture of a regular shotgun, is a "Pounder", one with a Bandit tri-barrel fitting is called a "Hulk", and one with Torgue's own quad-barrel is called a "Ravager". (Bandit guns in particular tend to consist of bits from anywhere, welded together rather badly and painted red.) The magazine, stock, barrel, body and sight all have effects on how the gun functions.

* ''[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/262410/ World of Guns: Gun Disassembly]]'' is a free-to-play UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} game that is practically rife with gun porn. Features include incredibly detailed weapon models that can be viewed, test fired in a simulated environment, basic field stripped and its most advertised feature, disassembly - assembly of the '''entire''' firearm right down to ''[[UpToEleven every single screw, pin and spring]]'' of the weapon. Even adjustable sights and individual parts of a bolt carrier group can be [[ShownTheirWork taken apart in loving detail.]]

--> "I am Heavy Weapons Guy, and this is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilograms and fires 200-dollar custom-tooled cartridges at a rate of 10,000 rounds per minute. It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds!"

->'''Tank:''' So what do you need? Besides a miracle.\\
'''Neo:''' Guns. Lots of guns.
-->-- ''Film/TheMatrix''

* ''Film/{{Tremors}}'' has an actual ''fan'' of Gun Porn in Burt Gummer, and a scene in which his compound is attacked by the subterranean beasty breaking into his basement. It starts with him and his wife unloading the guns they were cleaning into it, then running out of ammo and backing toward the far side basement wall which is absolutely ''[[WallOfWeapons covered in guns]]''. That Graboid broke into the wrong goddamn recroom.

* In ''Film/{{xXx}}'', Xander points to a huge pile of guns (and other stuff) and then to his car saying "I want all that, in there!"

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUZMK7fBiZU The opening title]] for ''Series/SledgeHammer'' is a loving tribute to Inspector Hammer's custom .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver.

* The first ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' movie includes a scene towards the end, that shows the main character disassembling her PDW and ejecting the steaming hot barrel to switch for another calibre and armor piercing bullets. The same scene also includes a tank with two massive Gatling guns and a grenade launcher shooting the place to shreds.

* ''Fanfic/Plan7Of9FromOuterSpace''. In "Chapter XII: Have Ray Gun, Will Travel", [[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton]] visits a virtual ArmsDealer to purchase a handgun, and gets the specs of an unnecessarily LongList of firearms.

* ''Series/AlteredCarbon''. In contrast to the original novel, where Literature/TakeshiKovacs buys his weapons from a perfectly legal and high class gunstore recommended by his employer, in the episode "In A Lonely Place" he buys them from Vernon's FriendInTheBlackMarket. The trope is subverted when Kovacs proceeds to carry his purchases in a pink child's backpack.

* One of the classiest examples of Gun Porn comes from ''Film/JohnWickChapter2'', where The Sommelier not only has an entire armory for hitmen to choose from, he talks them up like they're bottles of fine wine. Prospective clients of his weapons sales services are guided through recommended weaponry for the given operation, not unlike a wine tasting for a discerning party host.

** In ''Literature/{{Jingo}}'', the incompetent shooter who took the fall for Prince Khufurah's injury is shown to be a weapons nut with a whole apartment full of magazines like "Bows and Ammo." He also thought that a BlingBlingBang would make his shots more accurate. [[RealityEnsues It didn't.]]

* The ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}: High-tech'' source book has almost a third of its width dedicated to explanations, rules, tables, and descriptions of various modern guns.

** You can count on the Punisher to take Gun Porn to a new level every opportunity he gets. A gun doesn't even have to be shown for this trope to be in effect. Frank ''knows'' guns inside and out. (A single shot is heard in the distance) Man: "What was that?" Frank: "M-25 sniper rifle with a .303 Winchester round."

* ''Film/TheHighwaymen'' (2019). Creator/KevinCostner's character is a former Texas Ranger out to hunt down Bonnie and Clyde. He does into a gunstore and, using a catalogue, buys everything from a Thompson submachine gun (ahh, those were the days) to a lever-action Winchester, the latter because he wants one weapon that he knows won't jam. He then has the store owner and his son load all of them along with a crate of ammunition in his car.

* ''Fanfic/Plan7Of9FromOuterSpace''. In Chapter 12 (Have Rocket Gun, Will Travel), [[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton]] visits a virtual ArmsDealer to purchase a handgun, and gets the specs of an unnecessarily LongList of firearms.

* ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'' has shades of this, especially early on - note the vastly oversized chain gun used by Father Cornello in the first chapter, and the automail gun used by the bandit leader in the train heist - as well as more conventional instances like Riza dismantling her pistol.

* ''Comicbook/ThePunisher'':

** Several issues of ''Comicbook/ThePunisherMAX'' contain interludes where a narrating Castle describes the history and uses of his favorite weapons.

* The late, lamented ''Comicbook/{{Doom}}'' [[http://www.doomworld.com/10years/doomcomic/ comic]]. The Marine really, ''really'' loves his guns.

* An instance of GunPorn shows up in the ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' of all places. When Victor uses his electro magnetic powers to disarm a gunmen, while doing so he also gives a lovely description of the weapon that goes as follows.

* Just prior to the climatic finale in ''Film/HotFuzz'', Angel loads himself up with an enormous array of weaponry acquired earlier in the film, all presented in fast but loving detail, with loading them with ammunition, cocking and twirling galore. In one of the DVD commentaries the director faux apologizes for saying so, and remarks he must be a 14 year old boy, but he claims the sequence gets him hard. Sounds like gunporn alright.

* ''Film/IronMan2'', when Hammer shows [[Comicbook/WarMachine Rhodey]] and a general the weapons he can offer in exchange for an Film/IronMan suit. When asked which of the large arsenal he wants installed in what will soon become the ComicBook/WarMachine armor, Rhodey naturally says [[MoreDakka "all of them."]]

* Although the entire run time of ''Film/{{Last Action Hero}}'' is an example of this trope, there are a few specific examples that stand out. Both the protagonist and antagonist carry a HandCannon. At the Ripper's behest in the opening scene, Slater is forced to drop his Desert Eagle, and then continues to fish out and discard about six other pieces hidden on his person. When Danny [[spoiler:is transported into the movie and]] ends up in Slater's car, he opens the glove box - which is overflowing with handguns. Later in the film when Slater returns to his apartment, a glimpse of the closet reveals his "wardrobe," which consists of the same outfit: snakeskin cowboy boots, suede jacket, jeans, red t-shirt, and his signature Desert Eagle. The closet holds about ten of these identical outfits, including a fresh Eagle for each change of clothes.

* ''Literature/FateZero's'' author Creator/GenUrobuchi gave a whole lot of detail to the weapons that Kiritsugu Emiya uses. To wit, Kiritsugu's weapons are a Calico M950 sub-machine gun, a Walter WA2000 sniper rifle (with night scope and heat vision sensors), and his Mystic Code the Thompson Contender, customized with his [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells Origin Bullets]]. The anime also shows other weapons in a couple of {{lock and load montage}}s.

* The ''Inquisitor's Handbook'' for ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}: TabletopGame/DarkHeresy'' has over a dozen pages devoted to additional firearms, ranging from [[ShurFineGuns cobbled together 'zip guns']], to crude muskets, to barely-comprehended archaeotech weapons, and, of course, {{BFG}}s.

** Perhaps the most obsessive and complete is Czech developer Bohemia Interactive's ''Videogame/{{ARMA}}'' series. Thanks to immense community support, at least one example of nearly every family of small-arm that uses a self-contained cartridge. There are World War One-era bolt-action rifles, which are absurdly powerful, accurate, and long-ranged; a Colt 1860 Army .44 cap-and-ball revolver; dozens of different models of AR-15 and AK-pattern rifles in civilian and military versions; 1950s battle rifles like the H&K G3, the FN FAL, and the M14; firearms from nations often overlooked by most games, like Swiss, Finnish, and Swedish rifles; bullpups, like the British L85/L86, the French FAMAS, the Austrian AUG, and the Israeli Tavor; every variant of the [=MG42=]; a dozen FN [=MinimiM249s=]; shotguns and submachine guns of dozens of varieties; and most of the world's service pistols. [[note]]Furthermore, if it isn't currently in the game, there are pretty good odds that it's on a modder's work list. On just one such list, there are the [=AR15=] and M16 family, the [=HK416=], the Burgess Folding Shotgun, no less than three different models of Winchester lever action rifle (1886, 1894, and 1895), some of the first successful semiautomatic rifles and shotguns (John Browning's Remington Model 8 rifle and Browning Auto-5 shotgun), the Swiss Schmidt-Rubin rifles (which never fired a shot in anger, but are some of the finest bolt-action rifles ever made), and over 120 other entries.[[/note]] Each of these is rendered in loving detail, often with several different types of ammunition, modeled as closely to real-life as possible.[[labelnote:Commentary]] As a side effect of this obsessive level of accuracy and the lack of a progressive unlock system and therefore the need to gradually improve a class of weapon, VideoGame/ARMA reverses some commonly held assumptions about some commonly seen firearms; default weapons in games from the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises (the [=AR15=] (M16, M4, [=HK416=]) or the Automat Kalashnikov (AK) families spring to mind), with iron sights and general purpose ammunition, are extremely effective out to 300 meters. This is just under three times the size of the largest map in the Call of Duty franchise, and several times the average engagement range with assault rifles in the ''Battlefield'' series.[[/labelnote]]

* ''Videogame/CallOfDuty'', but of course, prides itself with the depiction of beautifully-modelled real-life guns. When the game goes future it still renders fictional future weapons beautifully, [[OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture boxy]] or otherwise, but then in 2019 it returned to the present despite having to stick to [[{{AKA47}} fictional names and remodelled design]] for some of the weapons.

** Taken UpToEleven by ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', where every manufacturer now have their own distinctive style not only limited to color scheme and different grips. To increase the count, it is possible to generate guns with components from different companies: for example, a Torgue shotgun with a side-by-side Jakobs double-barrel, a design familiar to anyone who's seen a picture of a regular shotgun, is a "Pounder", one with a Bandit tri-barrel fitting is called a "Hulk", and one with Torgue's own quad-barrel is called a "Ravager". (Bandit guns in particular tend to consist of bits from anywhere, welded together rather badly and painted red.) The magazine, stock, barrel, body and sight all have effects on how the gun functions.

* ''VideoGame/{{STALKER}}'' already has a fairly large and varied collection of guns in the basic configuration, but the Arsenal Mod for ''Shadow of Chernobyl'' really seals the deal, with more than 60 new guns to play with. Search deeper in the net and many (usally Russian) compilation mods, for example, [="StalkerSoup"=], go into triple digits. Not only are they functional, but each gun tends to have paragraphs worth of info and history in the inventory. The Arsenal Mod also has its own versions for ''Clear Sky'' and especially ''Call of Pripyat'' available to download. The MISERY mod for ''Call of Pripyat'', if you can get around the [[NintendoHard infamously brutal difficulty]] that permeates it, also has a plethora of entirely new guns as well as alternate separate model re-skins of the vanilla guns, making it around 90+ guns. It also is notable in that, in addition to GunPorn, there is a ''huge'' amount of Item Porn that comes with it too; with many miscellaneous stuff such as toolkits, disassembly kits, a greater variety of healing items and food, and many other stuff that weren't prevalent in the vanilla game or even other STALKER mods.

* ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}}'' has an absolutely huge wealth of guns for you to use in the multiplayer, as well as many scopes and attachments for your pleasure.

* ''Videogame/{{Metro 2033}}'' and ''Videogame/MetroLastLight'' have lovingly detailed, [[ScavengerWorld improvised weapons]] built in the Metro [[WorldWarThree after the end of the world]]. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI50Ekjbpmc Uboinik/Shambler]], for example, is a shotgun with an exposed revolver magazine which users a Luger-esque loading/extraction mechanism. The structural rails on the top and bottom of the gun that block the magazine mean that's often necessary to manually cock the gun to spin the mag in order to load more shells.

** Then there's also ''Franchise/FarCry'' and ''Videogame/WatchDogs'', which didn't bear Tom Clancy label yet still feature a lot of guns.

* For those wanting to create a Frankenstein's monster equivalent of a gun, you're in luck! [[http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/ Pimp My Gun]] and [[http://dragonflyteam.free.fr/pimpmyairsoft/ Pimp My Airsoft]] let you mix and match gun parts of popular firearms to create the dream weapon you want. So I'll take the AK's receiver, add the HK416's handguard, maybe throw in an M203...

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* Most of the weapons in WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} are also guns. If a character is swinging something around in a fight, 9/10 times it will also fire bullets. You don't even want to try counting.

** Then there's also ''Videogame/FarCry'' and ''Videogame/WatchDogs'', which didn't bear Tom Clancy label yet still feature a lot of guns.

* ''VideoGame/GirlsFrontline'' takes Gun Porn into almost a ''literal'' sense: by having cute girls ''[[MoeAnthropomorphism as]]'' guns to fight a RobotWar. You also happen to be able to romance and marry them.

* ''[[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2]]'' has the Museum as an end-game bonus. Here you can pick up every single gun available in the campaign mode and mess around with against the [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential oddly-fleshy dioramas]] set up around the level (you can even use Price's exclusive 1911 from the original ''Modern Warfare'' which isn't normally available in the campaign). If you want to use all your various toys against some actual targets, there's a [[SchmuckBait big red button]] that you can press and have all the diaoramas come to life and accost you.

* ''The Highwaymen'' (2019). Creator/KevinCostner's character is a former Texas Ranger out to hunt down Bonnie and Clyde. He does into a gunstore and, using a catalogue, buys everything from a Thompson submachine gun (ahh, those were the days) to a lever-action Winchester, the latter because he wants one weapon that he knows won't jam. He then has the store owner and his son load all of them along with a crate of ammunition in his car.

* Switzerland, of ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'', seems to have a thing for guns as shown [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQdOyhMZOnM&feature=related here.]]

* Surprisingly, ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}} Phantom Forces'' has over ''120'' weapons from [=WW1=] all the way to modern times, not including melee weapons, those which were removed or those in testing. Each weapon penetrates materials differently depending on their caliber, and change the way they are while crouched, so you can see the other side of your weapon while firing in a crouched stance. Very satisfying seeing all the chambers opening and closing, the bolts rattling, and the casings ejecting out as your weapon works as a finely tuned machine. The models also do a great job at looking as realistic and detailed as possible while still staying true to Roblox’s art style. From popular Kalashnikov and AR-15 variants, to practical MP and AUG series guns, to rare weapons like the Serbu BFG 50 (yes, the ''breach action'' one) and the Zip 22, effectively ''Phantom Forces’'' version of ''VideoGame/Battlefield 1''‘s Kolibri. New weapons are still being added till this day as a constant stream of updates.

* A British gentleman named Stuart Brown, broadcasting under the handle [[https://www.youtube.com/user/XboxAhoy XboxAhoy]], made detailed videos for the many, many guns in various ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' games, specifically those available in its multiplayer modes. Along the way, he carefully cites the history, function, and specifications of each gun, as well as providing in-game footage of it in action. He also produced several similar videos based on the real life history of several commonly appearing guns in media. The focus on spoken details, plus his even, documentary-like tone of voice (which people have compared to Creator/DavidAttenborough), makes this a bit like Gun Phone Sex.
