The Boom Stick is essentially a staff-shaped gun that fires projectiles or, more often, energy blasts. If of the magical variety, it can be a "focus" for the user's magic power, making it easier to fire magic bolts (though the user is still perfectly capable of using just his hands). Often gives a regal flair to the user, and is handy to use in melee if needed. Of course, such a weapon is unwieldy and hard to aim. What differentiates the Boom Stick from the Magic Wand is that the Boom Stick is not necessarily magical and is really just for shooting people. If it is capable of regular spells, it's a Magic Staff. The name of this trope is a play on "This Is My Boomstick", but is otherwise unrelated to those Boomsticks or the one who hosts the Death Battle show named Boomstick. May also be a Swiss-Army Weapon. Compare Sword Beam for blades. |

Earth 2's native aliens, Terrians, wield special staffs that allow them to channel lightning-like energy bursts or magnify sunlight into a powerful light source. More of a subversion of the trope, as these aren't the usual directed energy weapons, though they can be used well in self-defence. | |

Staves and wands in Guild Wars often have properties that enhance spellcasting, but on their own, they just fire unguided magic projectiles. Like all other weapons in the game, you don't need training to use them, but they're much less effective if you don't have the proper attributes. | |

Over the course of the Lyrical Nanoha franchise, Raising Heart and company become increasingly gun-like over time, even getting clips, cartridges, and a trigger in The Movie. This is actually the standard weapon used by members of the TSAB. However, few of their weapons ever become as gun-like as Raising Heart. Storm Raider, the usual device of the character in the picture, has a combat mode that looks more like a Dragunov SVD than a magic weapon, Teana's Phantom Mirage is either a single or a pair of sci-fi looking pistols and Runessa's Silver Dagger is an actual firearm with an Armed Intelligence mounted on it. | |

In tight situations, though, it has a built-in holdout blaster, and a voice-activated function to shock whoever was holding it (in case he gets his blaster-stick taken away from him), specially modified to prevent Jedi from using their abilities while being shocked. Crazy-Prepared doesn't begin to cover it. | |

Staves in Dungeons & Dragons third edition (and 3.5) are like this. Only a few of them. Staves contain multiple spells, and in most cases at least some of those spells are non-offensive ones, making them not this trope. |

Gilgamesh wields a replica of the weapon named Pradamante in the two boss fights against him. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII has Wutai soldiers using polearms that can flip around to be used as rifles. Dissidia Final Fantasy has Emperor Mateus use his staff as a conduit to manifest his spells, with his Dynamite attack directly manifesting as an orb of energy charged up on the end of his staff and firing at the enemy. |

Warhammer 40,000— The Eldar have fire-pikes, directed fusion weapons designed for anti-tank work that usually just look like long-barrelled guns, but have been interpreted by several of Games Workshop's model sculptors as fitting this trope instead. There are also a couple of examples like the Guardian Spears of the Adeptus Custodes (polearms with inbuilt Frickin' Laser Beams) and the Necron War Scythes and Staves of Light (with inbuilt Gauss weapons). In Necromunda, the religious House Cawdor often wields improvised polearms with a firearm attached to it, usually an autogun or a blunderbuss. Other than being a very cheap and affordable weapon, which is an important issue given House Cawdor is one of the poorest, such weapons resemble the aforementioned spears of the Adeptus Custodes, whom the House reveres. The Kroot Rifle is a borderline example: it's a rifle, but hardened for sustained melee and a bayonet perpendicular to the direction of fire at both the end of the barrel and on the stock. It appears to be not so much a gun with melee attachments, as it does a traditional Kroot weapon redesigned to incorporate a ranged weapon. Despite being closely associated with the advanced Tau Empire, this attitude would fit the rumors that the Kroot deliberately keep their own technology levels low to keep their species physically strong. In the lore, there is a weapon called the Bolter Cane. As the name implies it is a cane modified to fire what is essentially a miniature rocket bullet. As expected these rather dandy weapons are liked by certain Rogue Traders. |

Conqueror's Blade features a handful of units (Fire Lancers, Liao's Rangers, and Wuxing Pikemen) armed with real-life Boom Sticks: Fire Lancers and Rangers use the firelance, a type of primitive firearm which is basically a gun barrel on the end of a staff. The user just lights the fuse, points the barrel at the enemy, and lets the thing go off. In close quarters, Fire Lancers and Rangers can use their lances as bludgeons. Wuxing Pikemen have an even cooler weapon - a spear with gun barrels on the end that can shoot either primitive shotgun shells or turn into a flamethrower. And yes, this weapon is historically accurate. |
