* The assassin in ''Film/WrongfullyAccused'' is a [[ArmAndALeg one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed man]], and is seen receiving a prostetic leg containing a hidden gun.

* Honorable mention goes to the type 89 and type 10 grenade dischargers, Japanese infantry light mortars that when captured were sometimes briefly thought to be designed to be fired with the curved base plate on the thigh. The type 10 in particular due to a mistranslation. (The designation of "leg mortar" led to quite a few Australian soldiers beinf cas-evacced from New Guinea with shattered thighs, after stocks of this weapon were captured in one of the first Allied victories of the Far Eastern war).

* In ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'', Silver's cybernetic leg holds a cannon modification for his arm.

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': the pickpocket Paninya has rather unique automail legs, one of which is a 1.5" carbine housed in her left knee.

* Occasionally, in ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'', some 'Mechs carry weapons in their legs. In spite of [[CaptainObvious the importance of their legs to the 'Mech's effectiveness]], the limited space and aiming restrictions for the leg locations means most 'Mechs don't mount weapons there, and heat sinks or jump jets are far more common alternatives. Notable examples of 'Mechs with leg weapons included the light Wasp and the heavy Crusader, both of which carry leg-mounted short range missile launchers. One particular piece of equipment called the A-Pod (antipersonnel-pod) is unusual in that its ''only'' allowed mounting points are in the legs. As it is essentially a leg-carried claymore mine, this is justified-- infantry making focused attacks on 'Mechs have to scale them first, and these mines easily shred conventional infantry.

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]

* The villainous Bonnie in ''Manga/GunsmithCats'' first encounter went badly for her: Rally shot her thumb off and one of May's grenades blew off her legs below the knee. When she returned for revenge her new prosthetic replacements included a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun]] in one leg (with a bomb in that foot) and a thumb that included a garrot.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'': The captain in the album ''“De Paprikanen”'' puts gun powder between his sandwich, eats it, then takes his fake leg off and shoots at anything that moves.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': the Scotsman has a [[MoreDakka machinegun]] for a leg cannon. He upgrades it into a gatling gun in Season 5.

* Pictured above: ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}'', where Albert/Cyborg 004 has a rocket launcher installed in both of his legs. In a certain scene, he leaps in the air and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome swiftly fires both rockets at the same time.]]

* Johnny Moreau from {{Timothy Zahn}}'s ''Cobra'' series has a laser that runs all the way through his leg.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': the Scotsman has a [[MoreDakka machinegun]] for a leg cannon.

* ''OnePiece'' has Buggy the Clown, who somehow manages to hide a functioning gun in his foot with the proportional power of a giant cannonball that can be used to level cities. It's not clear whether it's actually in his foot or his shoe, however, but seeing as his super power is the ability to harmlessly separate individual parts of his body, there's a lot of wiggle room.

* Grey the Ninelives, a KillerRobot in the anime of ''Manga{{Trigun}}'' (as opposed to the manga, where it was a horde of dwarves in PoweredArmor) has a rocket launcher in its thigh that it uses to destroy its target after its upper half is destroyed.

* ''SamuraiJack'': the Scotsman has a [[MoreDakka machinegun]] for a leg cannon.
* ''BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'': [[DaChief Commander Nebula]] had one of these.

* ''TransformersCybertron'': the secondary {{BFG}}s of Optimus Prime's SuperMode are attached to his calves.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': Fortress Maximus had a pair of huge double-barrel cannons located in his shins. Given how much bigger than everyone else he was, this was actually a pretty useful place to have them.

* In ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'', the pirate boss's leg is a cannon.
