When a hero carries a handgun, he or she will tend to wield it and sometimes fire it in one hand. Perfect for still photo opportunities where the shooter's arm is bent above and behind their head and the gun is brought down to aim and fire. Even more cool is firing a gun sideways. And sometimes the hero will have a gun in each hand. Or a sword in the other. And then there are cases when someone is using a longarm one-handed. These weapons were never even meant for one-handed use, but it happens for some reason. Submachine guns are popularly shown this way, as they often look good in one hand, but they are still intended for two-handed use. This is the only way rifles and such can be used Guns Akimbo, but doesn't exactly look realistic. The exception is if they are military or police officers, where they will use two hands. Unless they've gone rogue and/or are desperate. Often justified in Westerns, for any of several reasons — for example, a character might shoot one-handed because they need their other hand for holding the reins of their horse. Or they might hold the gun with one hand while "fanning" the hammer with the other. Also justified for any media made prior to The '60s — in those days, firing a handgun with one hand while presenting a relatively small part of one's body to the enemy was the conventional wisdom among shooting instructors and taught in military manuals. It was thought that aiming one-handed whilst standing sideways-on to your opponent presents a narrower target and thus makes you harder to hit; whether this makes up for your own increased difficulty in hitting anything was (and still is) a matter for opinion. In any case, over time the one-handed stance has given way to more stable two-handed stances such as the Weaver stance and the isosceles stance. For really big melee weapons being used in one hand, see One-Handed Zweihänder. Compare One-Handed Shotgun Pump, which is for reloading firearms one-handed rather than firing. |

Terminator: In The Terminator, the T-800 uses both a shotgun and an assault rifle one handed. Near the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah does this with a shotgun. Then again, her other arm didn't seem to be in any shape to help. The T-800 also uses several weapons one-handed, most famously the lever-action Winchester 1887 in the canal chase sequencenote If you look carefully, you can see that the Winchester 1887/1901 shotgun has a much larger lever-loop to allow for flip-cocking. If you tried for the stock lever, you'd break your fingers, like Arnie nearly did when he once grabbed one of the standard firing props rather than the lightened one with an enlarged lever loop. and a grenade launcher at Cyberdyne Systems to disable multiple police cars. The undisguised T-800s in the future also fire their weapons one-handed, which makes sense since, being robots, they don't need to manually aim or steady their weapons. In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, the T-850 fires a Browning M1919 one handed with no additional support other than a strap. This is not camera trickery, Arnold actually fired the gun this way. |

In El Cazador de la Bruja, from essentially the same creative minds as Noir and Madlax, L.A. wields an M249 machine gun one-handed towards the end of the series. The lead girl-with-gun Nadie, on the other hand, usually prefers to hold her M1911 with two hands, as she doesn't possess the mad gunslinging skillz of her spiritual predecessors. | |

Mami from Puella Magi Madoka Magica has, amongst other things, wielded muskets one-handed and dual-wielded rifles! Justified because she's magical and created the guns with her magic, plus the firearms she usually conjures are single-bullet rifles, so firing one-handed while pulling out rifles after rifles is more efficient. | |

Nero in Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5 fires a double-barrel revolver in which the caliber is almost that of a Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver with one hand. Revolvers of that size are normally shot with both hands to brace for recoil. Can be justified by him being a quarter-demon with superhuman strength, much like Dante. Then again, a look at the modifications shows that both barrels are ported, which would greatly counteract the muzzle-flip and recoil of the gun. | |

This is tested in MythBusters, and found to be reasonably accurate in comparison to the classic two-handed "Weaver" technique, and far more accurate than shooting from the hip or using Gangsta Style. | |

Averted and probably played straight at the same time in Aeon Entelechy Evangelion. Averted with Shinji — even when one of your Eva's arms is busted, firing a giant hypervelocity rifle one-handed is not a good idea. Implied to be played straight with Asuka, since she mentions that you need to reinforce your arm with the AT-field for one-handed firing. | |

An unintentional example in Half-Life 2: judging by the gun's first person viewmodel, Gordon Freeman fires the OSIPR AR2 pulse rifle one-handed. This is strange for a number of reasons: one, he holds the much smaller and lighter SMG with both hands; two, the AR2, unlike most other guns, actually suffers from pretty severe recoil. It was stated to be a design oversight. | |

Saika Magoichi of Samurai Warriors wields his musket one-handed sometimes (specifically during his musou attack, when it inexplicably fires like a shotgun). Occasionally, he'll also fire one-handed, but with the gun braced against his body (mostly during his SMG-like spraying shots). Yeah, it's one of those. | |

The first few years of the G.I. Joe action figures from the 80s had to be posed like this, since before the additional joint was added to the figures' arms to allow horizontal rotation, they lacked the flexibility to be easily posed supporting their weapon with both hands. Of course, even after that change was made, it was common for their box art to depict them wielding an accessory in each hand and thus playing this trope straight. | |

Rambo: Infamously used multiple times by John Rambo, even in the comparably understated first installment. As badass as it looks, it's not entirely due to Rule of Cool; the M60 series he's fond of using are full-blown general-purpose machine guns and not assault rifles, so he needs one free hand to feed the loose ammunition belt into the gun or else it would jam. | |

Half-Life: In Half-Life, Gordon Freeman holds his trusty low-powered, low-recoil Glock 17/Beretta M9 two-handed, but somehow fires the high-power, high recoil Colt Python revolver with one hand. In Half-Life 2, it's reversed, with the USP Match held one-handed (with resultant significant drop in accuracy) and the ever-accurate Python held two-handed. Black Mesa has him using both sidearms with two hands, and as in the original game both are quite accurate. |

The situation in the James Bond novels is more varied than the films. In Ian Fleming's original Bond stories, 007 starts with a .25 Beretta 418 before moving on to the iconic Walther PPK. He will also carry and use a .45-calibre revolver when he needs something more powerful but still concealable. In For Your Eyes Only, he uses a Colt 1911 during a stakeout — a very odd choice for a British secret agent. In the later books by other authors, Bond uses a variety of handguns including a genuine Hand Cannon: a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Magnum revolver. In Icebreaker, Bond fires this revolver one-handed from an extremely awkward position: sitting in the driver's seat of his car and shooting out the window at his target. |

BioShock Infinite has Booker DeWitt, who will fire one handed while zipping about on skylines. This is acceptable for the pistol and Hand Cannon, but is a little more unbelievable on bigger weapons like the Sniper Rifle, the rocket launcher, and the two-handed Gatling gun which starts cranking itself. | |

In Hayate the Combat Butler, the titular butler shows that he is perfectly capable of this by showing up to rescue Nagi early in the series from an enormous robot with a wrapped bundle on his back. He reveals this to be an HK-MG3, which is normally a turret-mounted machine gun and simply tears through the robot's armor. Hayate is also apparently strong enough to easily wield it with one hand. Mysteriously, he also claims to have already been very familiar with the weapon somehow and seemed to have access to it before/without Sanzen'in resources. | |

At one point in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" mission, Makarov fires an M4 far longer than he should be able to one-handed, which somehow manages to make an entire room full of security personnel explode. Some Dummied Out content suggests that the Akimbo attachment would have been compatible with some assault rifles and the Thumper grenade launcher in multiplayer, along with the pistols and SMGs it can be attached to in the released game, although given that they were unfinished, it's not so much firing one-handed like it should be as it is your character growing a second set of arms to hold the left-side gun with. | |

Rainbow Six has the main characters using a two-handed stance, but at one point their pilot hits the pistol range to blow off steam and uses a one handed side-on stance. It's realistically portrayed as being a lot less accurate, but he's older than the other shooters and apparently that's how he was trained back in the day. | |

Metal Gear: The Boss's gun in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the Patriot, is a modified XM16E1 with a shortened barrel and the stock removed, effectively making it a sawed-off version of an automatic rifle. Sigint notes that due to its modification, the gun generates a massive amount of recoil, but the Boss being able to fire it accurately just one-handed shows just how strong she is. Pre-release images for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots typically showed Snake wielding an M4 carbine one-handed, his other preoccupied with using a knife for CQC; it's the same manner as Big Boss held his M1911 in the previous game, just taken to ridiculous extremes. In the released game, this only happens in one or two cutscenes wherein Snake is clearly intending to use the knife rather than his rifle if he encounters trouble, and in regular gameplay, while he does hold the foregrip of the M4 or any other longarm with a knife in hand that he could quickly swap to if needed, he still holds the rifle with both hands and instead uses the stock of the rifle for CQC. |

In Psychic Squad, Black Phantom agent 'Beretta' wields a sniper-rifle one-handed during his first appearance. He justifies it by having Telekinesis, allowing him to absorb the recoil and mentally control the bullets. And even then, he probably only did it since he was caught up in close combat — in a later appearance, when he's assassinating a target from a distance of several city blocks, he dutifully uses both hands and a tripod... | |

Prior to Fallout 3, super mutants always carry and fire heavy weapons one-handed. Always. Not surprising given their immense size and strength. While regular super mutant variations in Fallout 3 use long weapons like any human would, the Broken Steel add-on introduced a new tier named Super Mutant Overlord that fires any ballistic weapon including heavy assault rifles one-handed. Strangely, their default weapons — Tri-Beam laser rifles — are significantly smaller, lighter, and don't have any recoil, but are fired two-handed for some reason. | |

Less justified with the opening shot of the Union Station gunfight, where Elliot Ness kills the first mobster with a shotgun that he fires at one-handed at arm's length, not braced against the shoulder. That's a great way to break your shoulder or face with the recoil, or at the very least have your shot be wildly inaccurate. In this case it's because Ness is still holding onto the baby carriage with the other hand — he has to let the baby carriage go to pump the action and chamber another shell, sending it careening down the stairs. | |

Almost all VR games necessitates this as the controls are a pair of gun-like analog controllers, one on each hand. Half-Life: Alyx is a prominent example — all of the weapons Alyx used are handguns or one-handed weapons. In almost every VR exception (where the in-game controllers map to hands which can attach to multiple points on a two-handed weapon, allowing it to be aimed and steadied with both hands at once), nothing is actually enforcing that a two-handed weapon be used two-handed and the lack of realistic kickback makes it perfectly possible to fire sniper rifles and the like one-handed (and scopeless)... although it really does impede accuracy. | |

Discussed in The Teeth of the Tiger, in which one of the protagonists expresses a preference for firing one-handed whilst standing side-on to the target, on the grounds that this presents a narrower profile and makes him harder to hit. Whether this makes up for the reduced accuracy (his preferred sidearm is a .45ACP weapon) is a matter for opinion. | |

Mass Effect: Shepard fires his/her gun one-handed when the target is standing very close by. Many characters fire assault rifles one-handed, particularly in cutscenes, but are rarely shown hitting anything this way. Krogan, meanwhile, sometimes use shotguns singlehandedly (such as in "Eve"'s Establishing Character Moment, where she goes from an ill girl in a containment pod to One Hit Killing two Cerberus Mooks with Wrex's shotgun in a couple of seconds). The Shadow Broker wields one of the heaviest and most deadly assault rifles in one hand and an energy shield in the other. And he is very accurate with it, too. Of course, given how huge he is, it still looks more like a pistol in his hand. In general, characters use firearms of all sizes with two hands during actual gameplay, but some cutscenes have them switch to one-handed shooting. |

Far Cry 4 allows for this as a side-effect of dedicating one of the weapon slots to "sidearms" and allowing for weapons of that category to be fired with one hand from vehicles, on ziplines, or while carrying a body with the relevant skill. Most sidearms are indeed pistols and the like, including the two smallest SMGs, but the class also includes a Grenade Launcher, an automatic crossbow built out of a two-handed SMG, and two different varieties of Sawed-Off Shotgun. | |

GoldenEye (1997): One bonus mission has Jaws coming at you with dual AR-33s, which you can use if you take him down. With the all weapons cheat, this extends to everything from submachineguns to rocket launchers. Xenia Onatopp comes at you with a grenade launcher in her left hand and an RCP-90 in the other. You get to do this as well once she gets tied up. There's also a glitch that can be done with the all weapons cheat that allows you to mix up weapons, resulting in such combinations as having an RCP-90 in one hand with a shotgun in the other, or somehow managing to use the Moonraker Laser in tandem with the Watch Laser (which altogether, would require three hands to operate). |

Star Trek's phasers are usually held one handed, apart from the rifles. It helps that they are energy weapons with no recoil. Given that the weapons in Star Trek are generally not shown to have any sort of sights, it's plausible that they also have some sort of smart aiming ability as well. | |

The table-top RPG series starting with Dark Heresy gave us the Recoil Glove, an in-universe justification for people one-handing a normally two-handed gun. You could still fire it that way without such a tool, though with a "Difficult (-20)" modifier to your roll target. The vaunted Space marines have this integrated into their armor, meaning someone trained in Two Weapon Wielder could theoretically fire two Storm Bolters at once: that is, in a single turn, putting sixteen self-propelled self-stabilizing gyroscopic rocket-bullets (possibly that also explode into flechettes or spray virulent acid everywhere) down range, without penalty. | |

Trepang2 allows Subject 106 to use any weapon one-handed while using an enemy as a Human Shield, from pistols to submachine guns to assault rifles and even rotary grenade launchers or a triple-barreled minigun, with only a slight decrease in accuracy. Halfway through the game 106 acquires a serum that lets him take this to its logical conclusion and use a second gun in his other hand; the closest the game comes to being realistic about this is that you can't dual-wield the Bolt Launcher or Minigun. Partway through the final level, 106 loses his left arm and is forced to use guns one-handed for the rest of the level, restricting any abilities that rely on having two hands like tossing grenades or taking enemies hostage — naturally, reloading guns does not count. | |

The protagonist of Severed Steel fires everything from pistols, SMGs, shotguns, assault rifles and grenade launchers, one-handed with not much pentalty in accuracy, which is proves to be handy as said character is missing an arm, only getting a replacement Arm Cannon she is able to use alongside the weapons. The single arm thing does prevent her from reloading weapons however, so she constantly scavenges firearms off the enemies. | |

The Untouchables (1987): Stone is introduced at the police shooting gallery where the recruits are using the one-handed side-on technique of the time. Unlike the other recruits, he practices his Quick Draw as well. Less justified with the opening shot of the Union Station gunfight, where Elliot Ness kills the first mobster with a shotgun that he fires at one-handed at arm's length, not braced against the shoulder. That's a great way to break your shoulder or face with the recoil, or at the very least have your shot be wildly inaccurate. In this case it's because Ness is still holding onto the baby carriage with the other hand — he has to let the baby carriage go to pump the action and chamber another shell, sending it careening down the stairs. |

The Boss's gun in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the Patriot, is a modified XM16E1 with a shortened barrel and the stock removed, effectively making it a sawed-off version of an automatic rifle. Sigint notes that due to its modification, the gun generates a massive amount of recoil, but the Boss being able to fire it accurately just one-handed shows just how strong she is. | |

Warhammer 40,000's Bolters/Boltguns are fully automatic weapons that fire rocket-propelled, armor-penetrating, explosive rounds. They have a pistol grip, however, so sufficiently badass characters have been known to shoot them one-handed; this was a special rule from older editions called "True Grit." Only two examples come to mind: the Space Wolves, who are heroic Vikings in space, and Plague Marines of Nurgle, who are so bloated with disease that their bulk allows them to absorb the considerable recoil. These days, bolters aren't seen being used one-handed terribly often, though it's conceivable that they can: their construction and intended use isn't too different from an SMG (including a pistol grip), and recoil is mitigated by firing a two-stage propelled round, along by being most commonly used by a power-armoured super soldier. The table-top RPG series starting with Dark Heresy gave us the Recoil Glove, an in-universe justification for people one-handing a normally two-handed gun. You could still fire it that way without such a tool, though with a "Difficult (-20)" modifier to your roll target. The vaunted Space marines have this integrated into their armor, meaning someone trained in Two Weapon Wielder could theoretically fire two Storm Bolters at once: that is, in a single turn, putting sixteen self-propelled self-stabilizing gyroscopic rocket-bullets (possibly that also explode into flechettes or spray virulent acid everywhere) down range, without penalty. No one uses both hands to fire a pistol weapon (including bolt pistols, a favorite of commissars) as this would prevent them from holding a chainsword/energy blade/six-foot-axe/demonic weapon in the other. Averted with lasguns and other rifle weapons, which are fired two-handed. Of course, being 40K, this trope has to go to 11 somewhere. Enter Terminator Armor, which is a rare form of power armor that is nothing less than a hulking mass of thick armor plates and artificial muscle fibers that weighs about as much as a large car, wrapped around an Astartes. The most commonly issued ranged weapon is a Marine-scaled Combi- and Storm Bolters, one handed, and both of which are essentially two strapped-together small-scale heavy weapons when in the hands of a normal human. And then, anybody in Terminator Armor can switch those out to wield a heavy weapon that usually gets put into a vehicular hardpoint or a firing team, like Plasma Cannons, Assault Cannons, Autocannons, Psycannons (noticing a pattern?). And they also have a melee weapon in the other hand, unless they've been equipped and a dedicated melee unit. It's also worth mentioning that they can also "no-hand" if given a Cyclone Missile Launcher, but that's another trope. |

In the booklet of StrikerS Sound Stage X, all art of Teana with the Cross Mirage's Blazer Mode show her wielding it one-handed. A little weird since she usually uses her gun with two hands when she's not going Guns Akimbo or using her other hand for something else. | |

Team Fortress 2: The Heavy doesn't use his shotgun with one hand to fire, but he does twirl it around like a pistol in a taunt. Thanks to a popular glitch, he's also able to spin his minigun in the same manner. The Demoman fires his Stickybomb Launcher one-handed in first-person view. The Engineer and Spy both use their handguns one handed. This is considerably more impressive on the Spy's part when he uses the Ambassador, a Hand Cannon of a Sniper Pistol which looks like it should weigh at least two kilos. The Pyro will fire his Scorch Shot Flare Gun one-handed when he taunts with it. It's also a One-Hit Kill at close range. |

In Boktai, both Django and Aaron fire their smaller Solar Guns one-handed during normal gameplay. During the cutscene where Aaron fires his first shot, he uses both hands; the resulting shot is so powerful that it goes through the skeleton he was firing at... wait, change that. The shot was big enough to annihilate the skeleton and keep on going! | |

Call of Duty: At one point in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" mission, Makarov fires an M4 far longer than he should be able to one-handed, which somehow manages to make an entire room full of security personnel explode. Some Dummied Out content suggests that the Akimbo attachment would have been compatible with some assault rifles and the Thumper grenade launcher in multiplayer, along with the pistols and SMGs it can be attached to in the released game, although given that they were unfinished, it's not so much firing one-handed like it should be as it is your character growing a second set of arms to hold the left-side gun with. Call of Duty: Black Ops II allows the player to use any two-handed weapon with one hand while on horseback in the "Old Wounds" campaign mission, up to and including a .50 BMG Gatling gun. |

Arguably common in Survival of the Fittest; while it's rarely, if ever, outright said how a character with a handgun is actually holding it, handlers tend to assume the character is doing this instead of the proper two handed grip unless the post says otherwise or if it's a handgun such as a Wildey pistol or Desert Eagle that would be completely absurd to fire off one handed. This is, however, justified with guns like revolvers or the aforementioned Beretta M1934, which were designed to be able to be used one handed. | |

The Dark Tower: Roland specifically lampshades this; real gunslingers are so awesome they don't need to use the other hand to steady themselves. It's a good thing, too, because he loses several fingers early into the series, allowing him to only use one hand to shoot. He never misses anyway. | |

Blood: Blood (1997)'s "Guns Akimbo" powerup allows for this, granting you a second copy of several weapons, mostly ones that would otherwise be used with both hands such as the shotgun, Tommy gun, Napalm Launcher, and with one of the expansions, the Tesla gun. Blood II: The Chosen dials things back a little — the only gun you can use two of that would raise some eyebrows is the returning sawed-off shotgun — in return for making akimbo an inherent ability that simply requires you to pick up a second copy of a gun you already have, rather than a limited powerup. |

In one of the later episodes of the first season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Motoko fires Saito's anti-tank rifle single handed. Admittedly, she's a fully body cyborg (effectively a human brain in a robot body) and she only does it single handed because her other arm had been torn off, but still. Keep in mind that the first time we see this rifle is when it's being bolted down before firing to keep Saito from being blown away by the recoil. However, she's not actually holding the gun in place; she uses the recoil to launch up to a position where she can brace it against her leg, allowing her to chamber another round before grabbing it by the grip to fire the next shot. It also helps that she doesn't have to actually aim, since she's shooting from point blank range — repeatedly. It tells something of that armoured suit that the bullets never penetrate it, even though they deform its frame into uselessness, so she crushes its pilot to the point that he passes out from suffocation. She knows the bullets won't penetrate — she wants him to suffer. | |
