	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A notorious joke weapon responsible for the failure of countless suicide attempts, suicide pranks, mugs and murders. When the trigger is pulled, the gun barrel emits a large flag saying "BANG!" If the person holding the gun assumed the gun was real, expect an Oh, Crap! moment. Thus this weapon often works for stick-ups. The title is a take on BFG. Compare Only a Lighter. Examples:

/ int_5ad2b4e9	comment	The gun is so iconic that when Joker comes back for Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, so does the gun: in the uncut film, the spear version described under "Comics" is used to kill Bonk, and is laced with Joker Venom, and "later" it turns out to be how Joker himself was killed. The first time, anyway. In the censored version, a second pull of the trigger results in a cloud of Joker gas while the later use is replaced with Joker being pushed into an experimental lab, slipping on the water and glass, and electrocuting himself while trying to get up.

/ int_60e46926	comment	MAD: When MAD did a parody of Joseph Wambaugh's cop novel The New Centurions, one of the cops shot himself just before his scheduled retirement. Another cop said it must be because he felt he'd have nothing to live for after retiring, but it turned out he'd just mistakenly used a real pistol instead of the flag gun. Another one from MAD has a world courtesy of Don Martin, where these guns are used instead of real guns. Highlights include a silenced version (the flag says "thwip" in really small letters), a Chinese version, (the flag's "bang" is written in Chinese), and an aircraft-mounted version (multiple bang flags) And the one where a toymaker at a practical joke company shows one off to his boss who, unamused, makes a sign reading "aargh ya got me pal! (flop)" come out of his mouth. Followed by "You're Fired" coming from his ears.

She cringes with anticipated retribution, but the Joker, after a moment of cynical calculation, genuine surprise or both, decides to forgive her, and all is well. At the start of "Harley and Ivy", the Joker asks for the gun to fire at the pursuing Batmobile. Harley hands it to him while she drives, he pulls the trigger... "Bang!" In "Joker's Favor", a guy tormented by the Joker gets back at him by brandishing another of the Joker-faced bombs seen in the episode, only to laugh at J's terrified face when the bomb "explodes" into a BOOM flag.

Early in his main route, Baba pulls a gun on the protagonist to emphasize the gravity of her situation. When Baba pulls the trigger, the gun "fires" a flower.

He hands him a crossbow and says that he's fired unless Johnson can shoot an apple off of his head. When Johnson pulls the trigger, a flag that says "You're Fired" drops down from the arrow. When Johnson shifts the the crossbow in his hand to be able to read the flag better he hits the trigger again firing the arrow and hitting Mr. Wick in the um... goodybag.

/ int_b0fc9724	comment	Played with on Saturday Night Live, during the cold open of the Bruce Dern episode from Season 8 (regarded as one of the best episodes of the entire Dick Ebersol era, mainly due to the "Buckwheat gets shot" storyline). When Gary Kroeger laments of his lack of screen time on the show at that point, he eventually escalates to "starting the show with a bang" by pointing a(n obviously fake) gun to his head. As he says the show's opening catchphrase "Live from New York...", he fires the gun, with the flag completing the phrase ("...It's Saturday Night!").

While fighting a traitorous henchwoman, Harley shoots the wall with a stick that rolls out a flag reading "BOOM!". Her enemy mocks Harley, saying she got the word wrong since it should read "BANG!". Turns out she got it right, because just then the cap on the stick pops away showing it was a stick of dynamite. "BOOM!" indeed.

As could be expected, it's largely useless, having a pitifully short range and a very slow firing rate. The primary reason the powerup is where it is in the first place is virtue of the fact that collecting any powerup outfit restores Plok's limbs if they're currently on a hanger somewhere else.

At one point, he transforms into a Rambo-type character and fires a big machine-gun into the air. More than a little dismayed that his gun is firing real bullets, he looks at it guiltily and says, "I thought I'd loaded it with the little 'bang' flags."
