When female characters have to rely on weapons while their male counterparts do not. The male character may be a Bare-Fisted Monk who prefers fighting unarmed by choice. In much more common cases, he may have powers that make weapons pointless for him such as Super-Strength, Ki Manipulation, Supernatural Martial Arts, magic, etc. This is likely based on the idea that men are on average physically stronger than women, although the male character doesn't need to be super strong for this trope to apply. The female character, on the other hand, will likely be a Badass Normal to justify her needing a weapon while the male character doesn't. If she does have superpowers, they may be weaker or less useful in combat than the male. In other cases, she may simply use weapons to show how she is more extensively trained in fighting. If she is disarmed or her weapon is destroyed, she will often be at an opponent's mercy and require aid. A variation of this trope may have a male character whose weapons are part of their bodies, i.e an an arm that transforms into a gun or retractable blades in the forearms. Sister Trope to Guys Smash, Girls Shoot. For the guys, unarmed combat is a more specific version of the close-range melee focus of GSGS. For the girls, however, armed can include knives, swords, and other non ranged weapons, making it more adjacent. If the guy is a Glass Cannon who relies on long-ranged powers to fight while the woman is the tough close-range fighter, this could be done to deliberately invert expected gender roles. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): Like in the games (see below in the video games section), Amy fights with a hammer, while Sonic, Shadow, and Silver have powers that don't require them to use weapons. Among Team Dark, Shadow has his chaos powers and doesn't use weapons, Omega is a robot and all his weapons are a part of his body, and Rouge uses grenades as well as kicks. Issue #8 has Sonic teaming up with Silver the Hedgehog and Whisper the Wolf. Sonic and Silver are both male and possess Super-Speed and Telekinesis, respectively. Whisper is female and uses a Wisp-powered rifle. |

Castle: NYPD Detective Kate Beckett is armed with a gun, the law, and her experiences as an experienced police officer. Richard Castle, a novelist, is armed with a considerable knowledge of criminal behavior due to his research for his books, a quick wit, and a sly sense of humor. And together they catch killers. Usually played very straight, such as in one episode where Castle encounters a hired gun trying to snipe Beckett, and proceeds to beat the guy unconscious with his bare hands. Zig-zagged, as in a few episodes, notably "Boom" and "A Deadly Affair" where Castle does get his hands on a gun...and shows that he's well-versed in them, as well. | |

Marvel Universe: Cloak and Dagger: Dagger, the female of the pairing, is able to create "daggers" of light that can achieve a variety of effects, from outright killing truly wicked people due to the shock to their system, to purging drugs and addiction from those merely led astray. Cloak, the male of the team, is a Living Shadow whose body is a portal to another realm, one that will freeze the soul of anyone unfortunate enough to enter without the protection of Dagger's light. Heroes for Hire: The 2006 lineup is a Gender-Equal Ensemble of four men and four women. The women are Misty Knight, a cyborg who uses guns; Colleen Wing, a Master Swordswoman; the Black Cat, who uses a Grappling-Hook Pistol and claw-tipped gloves; and Tarantula, who uses bladed gloves and boots. On the men's side, we have Shang Chi whose martial arts skills allow him to defeat superhuman enemies; Humbug, who can control insects; the superstrong Atlantean Orka; and Paladin, who is the only one of the guys who uses weapons. Shang-Chi: Shang Chi usually fights unarmed and is capable of even besting superhuman foes without the use of weapons. His love interest Leiko Wu is more within the ballpark of what a normal human is capable of and uses guns in addition to hand-to-hand combat. X-Men: The Rasputin siblings Piotr, Illyana, and Mikhail qualify. Piotr has a metallic form that grants him super strength and Mikhail can manipulate matter and energy. While Illyana has her own mutant and magical abilities, she also wields a sword created from her own life energy. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ant-Man and the Wasp: When Scott sees Hope as the Wasp for the first time, he's surprised to see her suit comes with gauntlets that fire energy blasts. Hank could've added them to Scott's suit, but chose not to. Eternals: Gilgamesh and Thena are close friends who often fight together. Gilgamesh has super strength and mostly punches his enemies, while Thena conjures energy weapons such as swords and spears. |

One-Punch Man: The male members of the Monster Association either fight unarmed or use weapons that are part of their bodies. On the other hand, all but one of the Association's female members use weapons: Do-S fights with a whip which she uses to enslave people to her will. Maiko Plasma has a Thunder Drum attached to her back which can fire electricity when she strikes it with a drumstick. Eyesight wields a Serpent Staff. However, unlike Plasma and Do-S, she is capable of fighting without her weapon and doesn't need it to channel her special abilities. The sisters Reptera and Raptora use knives and a machete, respectively. They can also produce poison. Lord Psykos, the true controller of Gyoro Gyoro, is a powerful esper and doesn't need weapons in battle unlike the other female members. |

Mortal Kombat: This applied to male and female ninjas in the first three games. All three female ninjas (Kitana, Mileena, and Jade) used weapons within their movesets. With the exception of Scorpion and Smoke's human incarnation in Mortal Kombat II, the male ninjas fought unarmed. Baraka and Mileena are the sole playable Tarkatan characters in the games. Baraka has blades that extend from his arms like the rest of his race, while Mileena lacks arm blades presumably due to being half-Tarkatan and fights with a pair of sai. |

The DCU: Freedom Fighters: The fourth incarnation of the team served as an auxiliary of the Justice Society of America. Phantom Lady (Delilah Tyler) was the The Team Normal and relied on weapons and gadgets, while her male teammates all had superpowers. The post-Infinite Crisis version of the Freedom Fighters had three female members — Phantom Lady, Red Bee and Miss America. Of those three only Miss America had powers. Phantom Lady wore Super Wrist Gadgets, and Red Bee wore Powered Armor and used two robotic bees for battle. Justice League: The main Flying Bricks are Superman, Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman. The former two have a vast array of powers and don't use weapons. Wonder Woman, while still similarly powerful, has a relatively limited powerset and makes use of weapons in battle, namely her atom-shaving sword and magic lasso. Diana is also a hero based on Greek mythology which often had heroes who used enchanted weapons and items, even when they did have natural powers of their own. |

Those who have male love interests also have to contend with the fact that those men are largely unarmed, and a HiME's defeat equals the death of her loved one...and the rules also allow the murder of a HiME's most beloved person to strip a HiME of her powers. Several males in the series die without being able to do a thing about it. | |

Fairy Tail: The core team of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza functions under this in early chapters. Natsu is a Bare-Fisted Monk who attacks with fire, and Gray has ice powers; meanwhile, Lucy uses magical keys to summon spirits and keeps a whip on hand, and Erza is a Magic Knight whose power revolves around summoning weapons and suits of armor from Hammerspace. This gets dropped with the team's inclusion of Wendy, a Combat Medic who uses wind in the same style as Natsu's fire. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor generally avoids guns or any weapons (unless you count their Sonic Screwdriver) across incarnations, using their wits to solve conflicts. note They have a particularly strong stance against guns in the revival series, due to the character going through a war offscreen. In some instances, their female companions take up arms instead: In "The Pyramid of Mars", Sarah Jane Smith uses a hunting rifle to detonate Gelignite and destroy the missile from a safe distance. In "The Impossible Astronaut", Amy Pond takes an FBI agent's handgun in order to protect the Doctor from the astronaut she saw kill him earlier in the episode. River Song was particularly adept with guns, and the Doctor oddly didn't hold it against her. In a villainous example, Missy, in contrast to the Doctor, is often seen wielding a device capable of vaporizing individuals, until she makes a sonic umbrella in "The Doctor Falls". |

Freedom Fighters: The fourth incarnation of the team served as an auxiliary of the Justice Society of America. Phantom Lady (Delilah Tyler) was the The Team Normal and relied on weapons and gadgets, while her male teammates all had superpowers. The post-Infinite Crisis version of the Freedom Fighters had three female members — Phantom Lady, Red Bee and Miss America. Of those three only Miss America had powers. Phantom Lady wore Super Wrist Gadgets, and Red Bee wore Powered Armor and used two robotic bees for battle. |

Shang-Chi: Shang Chi usually fights unarmed and is capable of even besting superhuman foes without the use of weapons. His love interest Leiko Wu is more within the ballpark of what a normal human is capable of and uses guns in addition to hand-to-hand combat. | |

The Librarians 2014: Flynn is The Librarian, and his latest Guardian is Colonel Eve Baird. Flynn uses books and knowledge to win the day while Baird prefers a pistol and her military training. This gets zig-zagged as the series progresses with Baird using her weapons less and allowing the Librarians-In-Training do their thing with reasonable supervision. | |

Ace Lightning: This applies to the Lightning Knights who are Two Guys and a Girl. Random Virus's only weapons are his Power Pincers, Super-Strength and limited Technopathy, while Ace very rarely uses his lance and shield, relying mainly on his strength, speed, flight and lightning bolts. Sparx, on the other hand, relies entirely on her sword in battle. | |
