In Real Life, for electric current to flow there must be a difference in electrical potential. There must be negative and positive termini for current to flow between. Not so in fiction. Quite often, it will be possible for some device or some person to simply fire a lightning bolt more or less straight forward toward another presumably electrically neutral object, with no sign of building up charge separation beforehand. It is rare to see lightning weapons or electricity-based Elemental Powers that have electricity behaving the way it does in Real Life. This trope is primarily about electric weapons or attacks that appear to throw electricity around as if it's some sort of branching laser beam, rather than a system of electrons moving in response to electric potential, and sometimes hitting multiple enemies simultaneously. Aversions are electric weapons or attacks that actually follow the rules of how electricity works. When this is an actual gun, it can be regarded as a cooler version of the basic Ray Gun, Static Stun Gun or Fire-Breathing Weapon. No matter how outlandish the idea is, adding Nikola Tesla as (the inspiration for) the creator will immediately suspend any disbelief a reader may have. Science shows like MythBusters and others have explored the possibility. The general consensus is that it's possible in a couple of ways, but requires so many conditions/complications that the chance of creating a practical one is virtually zero. Recently, there have been a few examples of lightning gun technology deployed in real life, though it obviously doesn't function the same as in fiction. |

In The Salvation War, demon tridents can be charged to fire ball lightning (nagas are powerful enough "mages" to do so without a trident). Late in the Hell war, a deceased Nazi helps Belial build an artillery-style "great trident" which is much more destructive, but it never sees battlefield use. It's explicitly noted that only the Hell dimension's slightly more permissive physics allow this; when human-made generator-powered tridents are later tested, units made in Hell have a range of over a mile, whereas identical units made on Earth just arc to ground. | |

Hunter: The Vigil: Members of Task Force: VALKYRIE can get their hands on the Mjolnir Cannon, a man-portable electrolaser that uses a laser beam to ionize a channel of air and then send a powerful electric current through the resulting plasma; a more powerful vehicle-mounted version also exists. It's mentioned that these weapons have a tendency to attract real lightning bolts during thunderstorms. | |

In TaleSpin's Five-Episode Pilot, it's noted that the Air Pirates have been recently raiding cargo planes for bizarre things like fishbowls and other assorted items while leaving behind valuables; one of these is the red crystal that Baloo's plotline revolves around, a seemingly worthless stone that turns out to actually be a tiny electrical generator. Eventually, one of Sher Khan's scientists puts together all the clues and realizes that Don Karnage is using the stolen supplies to build a Lightning Gun, but it's too late to stop the Iron Vulture from attacking Cape Suzette with it. | |

Changeling: The Dreaming: A standard weapon produced by Nockers. Inserting a metal rod into a ball of pure technology, then poking the ball of technology with a stick, causes lightning to shoot out of the rod. A small stick can thus be attached to a trigger of something that looks like a gun, with the metal rod in the barrel. | |

In Victor Appleton's Tom Swift and his Electric Rifle, Tom Swift creates a weapon that fires a concentrated charge of electricity like a bullet. The charge could pass through any material: it took effect at a pre-set range from the rifle. True Story: The modern day Taser gets its name from an acronym of this example (Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle). Apparently the inventor was a fan. |

The Matrix features guns that fire lightning bolts as common weapons in the real world. Not as cool as it sounds. They are somewhat effective on the sentinels due to instantly stunning them but it takes quite a few seconds of continous fire to fry one. And sentinels are never alone. They'll do a number on a person, though, but that's not what they were designed for. Humans in the real world are all supposed to be on the same side. |

Misaka Mikoto from A Certain Scientific Railgun. She is an electromaster, which is a nice way of saying "someone who can generate electricity and use it". Her powers revolve around electricity, and magnetism, and her most basic attack is blasting someone with electricity to unconsciousness. And since all espers are low-level reality warpers, she can completely ignore the laws of physics if she focuses on the electricity. In one episode, Mikoto happens to be near a power station, and she accidentally caused a city-wide blackout because her gathering of electricity accidentally caused the power station to overload. | |

Master firebenders in Avatar: The Last Airbender, such as Iroh, Azula, and Firelord Ozai don't use actual guns, but fire off lightning bolts in a very similar fashion. Zuko, Aang, and Iroh can also catch lightning and redirect it. The "physics" behind it — separating negative and positive ki — is very reminiscent of polarizing the air or targets as several above weapons do. | |

Warehouse 13 has a gun that shoots an electrical pulse, invented by and named for Nikola Tesla. At the levels the heroes use them, they knock people out and cause short term memory loss. Turned all the way up by a villain at one point, they're basically a disintegrator ray. | |

Girl Genius: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach has one, and it's been a Chekhov's Gun. And he has used it (in conjunction with other devices) to call down lightning. The later use of his hand-held scepter is closer to the "classic" Lightning Gun. Agatha, Tarvek, and Othar have improved Gil's gun. Immensely. Impressively. | |

Known Space: The Wunderland Treatymaker from Man-Kzin Wars is a Kill Sat-scale, double-barreled version of a Disintegrator Ray. It wouldn't fit this trope, except that Known Space Disintegrator Rays work by making all the atoms in the target temporarily positive ions. There is also a variant that makes all the atoms in the target negative ions. The Treatymaker had one barrel of each type. Correspondingly, when it was fired, a thirty mile long bar of lightning flowed between the two points where the beams touched the planetary surface. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Necron tesla cannons and Staffs of Light function as these. Justified, mainly in that the Necrons are so technologically advanced compared to other civilizations, even after millions of years of hibernation! The forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus make use of rare and powerful arc weaponry in battle. Powered by ancient batteries, some of which predate the founding of the Imperium, these arcane weapons fire bolts of electrical energy that are able to fry an organic target's brain or destroy a vehicle's controlling circuitry in an instant. The Xenarch death-arc is one of the more exotic alien weapons available to characters in Inquisitor. Produced by a mysterious race from the Northern Rim of the galaxy, the death arc utilizes highly advanced charge cells and capacitors to fire multiple bursts of electrical energy, each of which hits as hard as a long rifle lasgun. The Zzap gun is one of the orks' most powerful weapons, some of which are even used on spaceships. |

In The Zombie Knight, one of the weapons that Morgunov's "Robert" combat robots can use is the aptly named "Big Scary Lightning Gun,"note Originally called the Anti-Air Scatterburst Particle Exciter, but Morgunov had to agree that Jercash's name for it was better which creates a spray of ionized channels in the air and then energizes them with a massive current. It's powerful enough to seriously wound multiple Vanguard Generals with a single shot. | |

In Mission: Yozakura Family, Kyoichiro gives Taiyo a gun that shoots lightning instead of bullets that can be used as a direct attack, disable enemy electronics, and destroy incoming projectiles by frying them before going into for hand-to-hand. Even when he does use it to injure someone, he usually fires it at near point-blank range even though it can hit things farther away due to the potential for collateral damage. That said, unless it's being played for drama, the worst the gun does to people is Harmless Electrocution. | |

Leviathan: The Clanker Tesla Cannons from Behemoth, a cluster of Tesla coils tipped with long spines, which makes it look like a radio array (the illustration, however, looks like a square-barreled cannon). It's designed to shoot down airships by simulating a lightning strike and set their hydrogen alight. The sequel's eponymous Goliath is a supercharged version, designed to sync up with Earth's electromagnetic field, and is powerful enough to set the air on fire. At least, that's what Tesla was convinced it would do. |
