History Main / ImpossiblyCoolWeapon

** There's also the concept of Innocuous Doubles (which started back in ProblemSleuth); weapons that exist as other, more harmless objects until they're ready to be wielded. Keys become guns, a typewriter becomes a [[VisualPun Chicago Typewriter]], a sextant becomes a sniper rifle, etc. This even carries over into Homestuck, with Kanaya's weapon of choice: a tube of lipstick that transforms into a chainsaw.

* Pictured above is [[Bleach Ikkaku's]] [[SuperMode Bankai]], which turns his sword from a katana into that monstrosity of a weapon; two oversized polearms chained to an even bigger floating axe blade.

-->''The double-ended laser sword. Now that is a'' seriously ''good way to cause major injuries to yourself. So you know anyone who dares to attempt to wield one of these suckers in battle is either incredibly good, or incredibly stupid. And if they were that stupid, they wouldn't be standing in front of you with all four limbs still attached.''\\

* Anything from James Bond, from his wristwatch/high-powered laser, to one of the villains' sharpened bowler hat which can be thrown like a disc and cut off heads.

*** And let's not forget the double-bladed lightsaber, wielded by such characters as Darth Maul and Exar Kun. Especially interesting because its impossibly cool even compared to other lightsabers. It's hard to use, ridiculously dangerous, and not very useful. But, because no one ever uses it, no one knows how to defend against it, so its actually a superior weapon. Crazy.

* It's a gun, [[ThePunisher Frank]]. A gun that shoots swords.

So my gun book by Chris McNab was right all along!]] Anyway, It's quite literally "Impossibly" as the pistol made the sword useless and vice versa and that Japanese pistols were so bad that they could been more dangerous for their users than the enemy.

* How could anyone forget about Homestuck's Warhammer of Zillyhoo? Or the Wrinklefucker?

* The Evoker from ''Persona3''. It's basically a pistol. Except instead of using it to shoot people, you point it at your head and use it to summon the physical manifestation of your psyche. Which is a lot more impressive than an ordinary bullet.

Which is a lot more impressive than an ordinary bullet. (Though, since some party members use normal guns, you have to wonder what would happen if they accidentally drew the wrong one... On second thought no you don't.)

* {{Bayonetta}} has, well, nearly every damn weapon of the game. For example, a sword that glows red with bloodlust, ROCKET LAUNCHER TONFAS, a lightsaber that lengthens many times its own size when charged up, and GUN-CHUCKS.
