Little Useless Gun	comment	A character treats a small firearm, or another character armed with a small gun, with contempt. The firearm will likely be physically small and will probably fire small-caliber ammunition, which is considered by some fiream users to be weak. There is a common perception that any round smaller than a .38 Special is essentially a joke bullet unable to do any real damage. The truth is that Guns Do Not Work That Way. Guns, by definition, are weapons that are designed to kill. Just about any gun made today can inflict a mortal wound in one shot, though a small-caliber bullet probably won't kill you quickly. Even the oft-mocked .22 Short can tear deep enough into a human body to tear major veins and arteries, and if the bullet reaches the throat or vital organs the damage will be severe. Even pneumatic weapons firing small pellets at low speed, like airsoft guns or BB guns, can inflict lethal injuries if they hit someone in a critical area such as the temple or the heart. This is exactly why airsoft events have very strictly enforced safety rules about minimum engagement distances and protective equipment. It's also why it's both frequently forbidden and a bad idea to use frozen paintballs. The idea that small-caliber and/or low-powered weapons are useless in combat probably comes from the somewhat vague notion of "stopping power" and that Bigger Is Better in this regard.* And the notion of "bigger" meaning "better" itself likely goes back to the pre-repeating days of firearms; early firearms shot with a much lower muzzle velocity and required manually reloading the projectile and the propellant with every shot. As a result, projectile diameters tended to be in the .50 to .70 caliber range to provide the best stopping power at those velocities, so that the target would be downed or incapacitated in a single shot, and anything below .30 caliber was considered useless for any sort of lethal effect. When smokeless powder and repeating firearms became popular, bullets could be fired with higher muzzle velocities and multiple times within a short span, thereby making it possible to have a smaller projectile with the same stopping power as a larger one. Even wounds that are fatal will generally not result in an Instant Death Bullet, and it is not unknown for a target to keep going after having been shot, sometimes not even noticing. So the theory goes that larger caliber weapons are more likely to ensure that a target will actually stop in fewer shots. The other side of the argument is that most of the "evidence" for stopping power is almost purely anecdotal and no scientific mechanism for its function has been confirmed. Furthermore, many comparatively smaller guns can have twice the rounds (or more) per magazine versus a massive Hand Cannon as well as far less recoil and weight, and so are "more likely" to be accurate. While size certainly does matter in ballistics, the debate mostly centers around weapons of the same type (pistols vs pistols, rifle vs rifles), not a Derringer next to a .50 BMG sniper rifle, thus the differences are comparatively small. On the other hand, small-caliber firearms, such as .22 rimfire "Purse Guns", are ineffective against most forms of ballistic armor, which will stop a small caliber round flat. Literally, the bullet will flatten to the width of a coin, or thereabouts. Higher caliber pistols like the .45 and 9mm are more likely to get through lighter armors but aren't guaranteed to do so, while rifle rounds like the 5.56 require modern heavy-duty armor to have any chance of stopping them. Even then, some bruises or even broken bones will result from the force of the shot. Some have even mentioned this as an advantage that non-penetrative shots have over penetrative ones—a bullet that pierces the vest but in a (relatively) nonvital area might be ignored for the moment, but it's a lot harder to attack someone if you're gasping for air from broken ribs caused by a bullet smashing your chestplate in. On the other other hand, there's also the issue of "Over-penetration"— when a bullet goes straight through a target. The result is that (1) you wind up hitting things you didn't intend to (like innocent bystanders), and (2) you wind up preventing the bullet from transferring all of its energy to the intended target. Since you can't exactly subject live humans to rigorously controlled lethal testing, it's doubtful this debate will end any time soon. Often popular as a Hidden Weapon stored in Victoria's Secret Compartment. It is also occasionally seen as the so-called "holdout pistol", a common stereotypical weapon for the Lovable Rogue or The Gambler. Both are often characterized as preferring a perceived low powered purely defensive weapon to avoid lethal force.note Even in reality, pistols (as opposed to dedicated assault weapons such as rifles) are more often used defensively as a distraction in order to discourage serious pursuit, allowing the user to escape relatively unchallenged. Also, a rifleman generally needs to stop moving in order to take any meaningful aim, a sure way to increase the probability of being hit even by desperate defensive fire. For the opposite end of the spectrum, see Hand Cannon and BFG, with Punch-Packing Pistol in-between. In shooter games, a Little Useless Gun tends to be a Ranged Emergency Weapon.

Little Useless Gun / int_222a8847	comment	Inverted in the production of RoboCop. Originally, like every other action hero of The '80s, RoboCop was supposed to carry a Desert Eagle. However, once the actual suit for the eponymous character was finished, it turned out that the Desert Eagle - even with an extended barrel to take a suppressor - still looked like a toy in RoboCop's hands. The solution ended up being to take a regular 9mm gun - a Beretta 93R - and size it up with a barrel and compensator almost double the length of the normal barrel and noticeably taller sights.

One of them scoffs at Jesse's sad armament. It ends up not mattering much because Jesse is able to trick one of them and shoot him before he can draw his weapon, after which he takes it and uses it to kill the other.

Little Useless Gun / int_24a9af51	comment	Given the sheer range of firearms available for use in Enter the Gungeon, there would naturally be a few duds in the mix; in fact, every gun is coded with a 'Class' variable that determines how likely you are to find another one of its type as loot, and one such class is 'SHITTY'. Each of the player characters' starting weapons are classed this way, and never run out of ammo. Others can be found such as the Peashooter, 38 Special, Derringer, and Dueling Pistol, each of which do have limited ammo and are individually weak, but may be powered up in various ways if you're fortunate enough to happen on a gun or item that synergises with them.

Little Useless Gun / int_25d97c04	comment	James Bond; Because Dr. No was the first film of the franchise, we never see the Beretta .25 that Bond uses in the novels; as in the book, Bond is forced to give it up for his now-iconic Walther PPK. The film ironically gets it backwards due to an inability to secure the right prop weapons; in that scene, Bond is instead turning in a Beretta 1934 in .380 ACP, which M continues to disparage as he proceeds to force Bond to use a Walther PP in the same caliber, which the dialogue insists is actually the lower-caliber PPK in .32 ACP. The film provides a second justification in any case; the Beretta had jammed on Bond on a recent mission and he was wounded as a result. The 4.2mm handgun used by The Man with the Golden Gun should be this, but since it's only used by Scaramanga, who has Improbable Aiming Skills, every shot is an instant one-hit kill (ironically, in the original novel, Scaramanga uses a Hand Cannon which an MI6 psychiatric report suggests is because he's Compensating for Something). Bond-based video games frequently include Scaramanga's golden gun and a similar gold-plated variation of whichever Walther pistol Bond swears by as a Mythology Gag, and they're always an instant kill, regardless of who's using it, or sometimes even what is being shot with it. In Licence to Kill, when Bond meets up with Pam Bouvier, she asks him if he's armed. He shows her his PPK, which she derides. She shows him her sawed off Mossberg 500 and tells him to just stay down if trouble happens. Ironically, Pam herself uses various .25 Berettas later in the movie, one of which she lends to Bond. Bond's PPK is in general a Punch-Packing Pistol, but The Living Daylights provides an exception. When Bond confronts Brad Whittaker, Whittaker is armed with an assault rifle with a face shield. When Bond dumps his entire magazine ineffectively into said shield, Whittaker quips "You've had your eight, now I'll have my eighty". Fortunately for Bond, his explosive keychain is able to do the job more effectively.

Little Useless Gun / int_297feac0	comment	In James Bond (Dynamite), it's a Running Gag that everyone gives Bond a hard time over his Walther, calling it everything from "funny little gun" to "almost the same size as [this three-inch pocket knife]" to "prostitute's shooting instrument." Writer Warren Ellis noted in an interview that this is based on firearms expert Geoffrey Boothroyd, the basis for the Q character of the films, writing to Ian Fleming on several occasions objecting to the Walther PPK (and earlier the Beretta 418) being "a lady's gun". If that sounds familiar, this also inspired a scene in the film version of Dr. No discussed under Film — Live Action.

Little Useless Gun / int_3bce4381	comment	Trigun: Meryl Strife gets some mockery over her weapon of choice, the derringer, both because of its two-shot capacity and its low penetration. She overcomes the former problem by carrying several dozen at a time. The justification for her choice of weapon seems to be that, in accordance with this trope, it's treated as a nonlethal weapon due to its small caliber. Thus, she can use it with impunity and not worry about deaths or serious collateral damage (which is a reasonable concern for an insurance representative). Her partner Millie uses the opposite approach, a huge multi-barreled stun gun whose slugs spread out in to a cross pattern to reduce stopping power. This would similarly be potentially lethal in real life — given she knocks a truck over with two shots from it at one point, it would tend to cause a lot of broken bones at least — but in the work, it just harmlessly knocks people over.

Little Useless Gun / int_3defe34c	comment	Discussed in Sword Art Online; while Kirito is weapons shopping in Gun Gale Online, the gun Sinon recommends for him has a smaller caliber than a considerably cheaper gun. Sinon starts to lecture him on penetrative power versus stopping power, but Kirito is quickly distracted by a photon sword. He ends up going with the sword and using a pistol as a sidearm, the latter of which comes in handy during the climax. Spin-Off series Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online shows that despite the realistic treatment of GGO's guns, it still runs on RPG mechanics at its core, and pistols do not get the best showing. If you miss a specifically lethal shot, it comes down to the recipient's HP level vs. the weapon's damage output; Pitohui is shown firing at someone's center mass with a pistol until it's empty and failing to deplete their HP. In the second Squad Jam, Pitohui complains about how weak pistols are after a player survives about a dozen shots from a pistol. However, Squad Jan 4 has a rule specifically designed to avert this, saying that at certain times, the pistol will be one of the only usable weapons. Specifically, pistols are only usable inside the mall where the climax takes place.

When Harry arrives, Murphy says that such a small-caliber gun might have meant Morgan was only shooting to wound, since it would've been hard to kill anyone with it. Harry immediately shoots this down because Morgan would never shoot a suspected warlock to wound, and points out the only reason Morgan used such a small gun is that it was all he had. In Fool Moon, the loup-garou can only be harmed by inherited silver. Murphy has some jewelry that qualifies, and the equipment to cast it into Silver Bullets, but only for her .22 target pistol rather than her service weapon, to Harry's annoyance. Since the loup-garou also has a Healing Factor, she only manages to slow it down a bit, until it gets into point-blank range—just after she empties her mag.

Little Useless Gun / int_46d48eba	comment	James Bond originally carried a Beretta 418 (.25 calibre) before switching to his signature Walther PPK. Behind the scenes, the change happened after one Geoffrey Boothroyd—for whom the character who would become Q would be named—wrote to Fleming objecting to the use of the Beretta and, after some back-and-forth, suggested the Walther. Calibre size is not the only reason he has to turn it in, at least, as his Beretta had jammed on him and he was wounded as a result (in the preceding book, From Russia with Love, it became stuck in a holster when Bond attached a suppressor to it, allowing him to be stabbed with a poisoned knife; this was not included in the film version, as the chronology was changed between films, what with Dr. No being the first one adapted). Incidentally, Bond does carry a long-barreled M1911 in his glovebox, should he ever need a Hand Cannon.

Little Useless Gun / int_526d4c5c	comment	Knights of the Old Republic I and II gave enemies health based on the Dungeons & Dragons-based Star Wars d20 RPG, which meant that the pitiful damage done by hold-out blasters and even the blaster pistol would wind up useless very, very quickly. In the first game, lightsabers and force powers overshadowed blasters so much that non-Jedi party members had little role in combat, becoming obsolete almost the instant you left the starting planet. In the second game, a modified Hand Cannon or BFG could be viable, but it required spending multiple points on gimmicky Force powers (such as the ability to deflect blaster fire with your hands) and abilities (such as a penalty reduction for shooting enemies who are in melee range) to make up for inherent disadvantages that lightsabers (or even regular melee weapons) don't have, and even with all of these would still be suboptimal.

The Calico M100-P guns you can find in Code: Veronica are large handguns chambered in the comparably tiny .22LR, and can do slightly more damage per shot than the basic 9mm handgun (admittedly, you are usually hitting the enemy with two bullets at a time). Meanwhile, the Derringer you can find in the 2002 REmake has only one unfired .22WMR round, but it can kill any regular enemy with its single shot.

Little Useless Gun / int_59da62aa	comment	Fallout: New Vegas has only two weapons that use .22LR ammunition; a silenced .22 pistol and a silenced .22 SMG. They both have free silencers and high critical chance but do such low damage you'd be better off smacking your foe with a bit of pipe. Literally: these guns have base damage of 9 and 10 - a BB Gun has a base of 4, a lead pipe has a base of 22, and the high-end automatic weapons are in the 30s or 40s. The 9mm pistol doesn't fare much better, with a base of 16. However, the complete silence of the .22 makes it great for assassinations, since if you can find a dark corner to hide in you can kill a target in the middle of a crowded room without anyone noticing, and the combination of high critical rate, double crit damage, high accuracy, and low AP cost means that you can take down an unarmored target with headshots almost as easily as with your big hand-cannons. Not to mention that it's the only gun that you can take in places where weapons are forbidden without a high sneak skill, meaning unless you deliberately pour most of your skill points in the first part of the game into stealth, it's going to be your only easily-usable ranged option if you decide to cause trouble in any of the Strip's casinos. There is even an achievement you get for scoring a killing blow on a deathclaw, one of the toughest predators in the wasteland, with the .22 pistol. The .22 SMG, meanwhile, makes itself more useful by playing to the intended strengths of a low-damage weapon, by negating it with a high rate of fire and a very large pan magazine; it can deal with most low DT enemies through Death of a Thousand Cuts. The downside here is that .22LR ammo is rather scarce, since very few enemies carry it, it can't be built at a reloading bench without mods, and vendors rarely have more (though what they do have is dirt-cheap). 9mm ammo in comparison is much more common, as are other 9mm pistols you'll need to repair yours for most of the game. Benny makes a reference to this if you manage to talk to him in private once you catch up to him - he asks upfront how you're still alive after he shot you in the face, and if you tell him you're just that hard to kill, he jokes that it "serves me right for using a 9mm".

Played straight, however, with both the Zip 22 and the M231. The Zip 22 is your average, low damage 22 LR pistol, which is basically the modern rendition of the Kolibri. The M231 is the complete opposite: so opposite it loops back around the spectrum and ends up being useless again, featuring a fire rate of over 1000, which wouldn't be so bad if the recoil wasn't terrible. So terrible, in fact, that you literally have to aim at the ground so the recoil can kick up and actually hit your enemy, besides the fact that there aren't any iron sights. The fact that the stock is just a cylinder explains it: firing the weapon while braced against your shoulder in real life would more than likely result in extreme pain, which is why it's mounted in real life.

Bond-based video games frequently include Scaramanga's golden gun and a similar gold-plated variation of whichever Walther pistol Bond swears by as a Mythology Gag, and they're always an instant kill, regardless of who's using it, or sometimes even what is being shot with it.

As Marv is hauling him to Old Town, he comments: "...Here I am jabbering with you leaking all over the place. You're damn lucky all that dame had was a .32 — we wouldn't even be having this conversation if she'd used a real gun on you. Even so, getting shot in the face isn't high on my list of how to have a good time." The femme fatale herself notes that she's not a great shot, adding to this trope. And later, when Dwight changes his faces and comes back to confront her, all he's able to conceal up his sleeve is "a crummy little .25", all six rounds of which are nowhere near enough to stop Manute (the bullets were used against his Made of Iron body rather than his head). It seems carrying anything smaller than a .45 Automatic or a .357 Magnum is a good way to lose a gunfight in Sin City (unless you're Wallace), as many of its denizens are, if not simply Made of Iron, at least Immune to Bullets.

Both weapons deal less damage than the standard 10mm pistol you're given in the final introductory mission - the .32 pistol might conceivably come in handy in a pinch should stronger weapons degrade too much or run out of ammo, and you don't having a hunting rifle handy, but the Chinese pistol uses the same ammo as the 10mm and does less than half its damage with it. If you're a bad enough shot that its ability to fire more than twice as many shots before breaking might be a valuable advantage, overall you'd be better off just finding a melee weapon instead.

Little Useless Gun / int_718f3ed1	comment	Call of Duty: Black Ops II manages this with a revolver, of all things, with the Executioner. Based on an unproduced 28-gauge version of the Taurus Judge shotgun-revolver, it's presumably intended to combine the upsides of a pistol (such as quick times to draw and aim, less slowed movement when aiming, etc) with the extreme power and pellet spread of a shotgun. This does increase its power to even more extremes, enough so that it's the only pistol in the game that can kill a man in a single shot, but the problem here is that shotguns are basically melee weapons in the Call of Duty series - a one-shot kill requires you to be close enough to the target that you could just as well use your knife instead and achieve the same result, and being even a few inches further will require the entire five-round cylinder to kill someone. Plus, this also means it's not possible to cherry-tap people from beyond about a foot like you could with the other pistols, either, because like the full-size shotguns, the pellets disappear at their maximum range, which in this case is about 12 meters. Now apply this logic to Apex Legends, but with a 3 round magazine. Ladies and gentlemen, behold: the Mozambique.

Little Useless Gun / int_78fbc3f4	comment	The Zombie Survival Guide states that because a .22 bullet doesn't have as much penetrative power as other ammo, a headshot is likely to result in the bullet bouncing around inside the skull rather than punching through the back, doing lots of damage to the brain even if the initial shot might not have been a kill. This, it should be noted, is a common and widely held belief about .22 ammo that is totally wrong. .223 rifle rounds will do extra damage by tumbling end-over-end upon striking a soft target, but that's not the same thing as claiming that a .22 round will continuously ricochet around inside someone's noggin like a pinball because they definitely don't do that in real life. A .22 LR or Short round is more likely than most to stay in a skull rather than punching all the way through after a headshot, but that's simply because the bullet has less energy than a more powerful round would, and thus it takes less resistance to get it to stop moving entirely.note The Guide still recommends .22 ammunition weapons for several other reasons, namely because they're great for packing light, comparatively easy to operate, and available at almost any gun store. Oddly, however, the author then goes on to recommend avoiding .223 ammo and guns, stating that they're not powerful enough to do damage to Zombie brains. This is in the face of the fact that the .223 is the same caliber as .22, but faster, meaning it packs more stopping power than the diminutive rounds on top of the mentioned tumbling that would reduce zombie brains to pink and grey paste. One almost has to wonder if the author did some preliminary research on calibers and then mixed up .22 and .223.

The mini bullet corks the barrel of the enemy's gun, and it promptly explodes on firing.

Little Useless Gun / int_802ca7b	comment	While not exactly "little", the Klobb from GoldenEye is infamous for being the weakest and least-accurate firearm in the game â€“ it's the only gun in the game that requires two headshots to kill someone. It's so weak that even in the customizable 007 difficulty mode, it's the only weapon in the game that cannot be made to kill someone in one hit - whether you set enemy damage to the maximum so that all enemy shots kill you in one hit, or enemy health to 0% so that they die instantly from any damage whatsoever, the Klobb will still need two shots.

The .22 is just about the only gun in any of the games that doesn't always kill with a single headshot — you can perforate a man's brain with this gun and it will just make him mad. Hitman: Contracts has the SG220, a pistol with a seven-round magazine and almost no stopping power. It is, however, very quiet. The World of Assassination Trilogy zig-zags this with the Custom 5mm pistol.

One condition of the exchange was that the Americans had to come unarmed, but Margaret gave Frank a tiny pistol (a Colt M1908 Vest Pocket) to carry in case he needed it. When the Chinese realized that the agreement had been broken they were ready to call the whole thing off, but when they actually saw the pistol in question they laughed it off as a joke ("it comes in a box of Crackerjacks," Hawkeye deadpans). This is slightly justified since the Chinese soldiers are heavily armed with automatic weapons.

Little Useless Gun / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech's tabletop RPG spinoff Mechwarrior has this. The hold-out pistol is a bit of a joke, with a pathetic range of 10 meters, and can be out-damaged by a basic small crossbow that's even cheaper than the pistol and yet reaches 50 meters. The much more expensive Mydron Auto-Pistol actually reaches 60 meters, but does no more damage than the standard pistol, made up for slightly by its larger magazine size and ability to fire (not very accurately) in bursts. The needler gun and hold-out needler, while even weaker in terms of raw damage potential, avert this trope by being ruled as completely going through normal armor and dealing their damage directly to the target, something the aforementioned pistols cannot do. The fact that needler shots are also fluffed as being incredibly difficult wounds to treat and heal can also be a problem for anyone attempting life-saving procedures, helping steer these weapons out of the 'useless' category. The same can be said of the hold-out flamer pistol. The initial damage is hardly anything speak of, but the fact that you are now on fire kind of makes up for any shortcomings—no forms of standard infantry armor provide protection against being burned to death.

It takes a decent amount of skill and additional aiming gear for the damage of a single hit to scale up into something significant. There is one exception, though: Stick N Shock rounds are, as the name suggests, taser bullets that deal nonlethal damage and it's the same amount of damage whether fired out of a sniper rifle or a holdout pistol. That means that light and holdout pistols are extremely efficient for using such rounds. There are also Capsule Rounds, which can be filled with a liquid payload. DMSO, anyone?

Little Useless Gun / int_c487221e	comment	In Men in Black, the "Noisy Cricket" is the size of a small, cheap water pistol, and it's dismissed as "completely useless". It's capable of blowing a hole through a completely sealed door and sending the user flying the opposite direction. The funny thing is that it functionally is near-useless, but for the exact opposite reason of what it looks like it would be. Background materials suggest that the Noisy Cricket's standard function is significantly toned down from what is seen; it's meant to be a holdout gun. It's given in an overpowered state to rookie agents as an object lesson... or a form of hazing. In Men in Black II, Agent K in his neuralized state is given one that does not have the comical level of overcharging, and in the animated series J receives a silencer for his (which is at least twice as long as the actual gun it's screwed to), which reduces the power of each shot but also allows him to fire it without bowling himself over.

He chooses it because it's simple, lightweight, and easily concealable. Stopping power is not the issue, however, as while he uses it to great effect to kill Harry Dunning's father, it proves useless against Lee Harvey Oswald, as its short barrel impedes its accuracy during their confrontation in the Book Depository (it is repeatedly noted that the gun is only effective up to fifteen yards).

Little Useless Gun / int_c72021c5	comment	Deus Ex: The PS20 is an energy weapon example. A one-shot plasma derringer that you're inexplicably restricted from carrying more than one of, it can't even one-shot basic mooks from point-blank range with a headshot, defeating its purpose entirely. In early versions of the game, it actually did a more-than-respectable 40 damage (about equivalent to two shells through the assault shotgun if you're close enough that every pellet hits), but then something broke with both of the plasma weapons in the update that added multiplayer, making them both deal such low damage per projectile that the only things that deal less damage than them are melee weapons, if you don't have any training in them. The assault rifle is an odd example, playing perfectly to the stereotype of "faster fire rate = weaker damage per-shot", with it dealing a base of 3 damage per-bullet, compared to the basic 10mm pistol doing 14 damage or so. Barring its 20mm grenade launcher, it only outdamages the pistol through volume of fire, each trigger pull letting off five bullets for 15 damage in total, the downside being that the ammo doesn't go nearly as far for the same damage. This is especially jarring since it's firing 7.62x51mm, which realistically should be in the same power class as the .30-06 used by the sniper rifle. The Stealth Pistol is another example, dealing damage on par with the bugged PS20 and poorer accuracy in return for an integrated silencer and a larger unmodified capacity than the normal pistol, though it's not nearly as bad since you get ten shots and then a reload rather than just one and then tossing the weapon entirely.

Even in the most realistic settings, you will need at least two shots to put down a target, and this is inside its criminally short effective range. Outside that, you might as well not bother. Its major selling point is the fact that it can be fired underwater, but this borders on utter irrelevance because of just how few missions involve water, let alone shooting people in the water. The original game played with this trope with its choice of two sidearms. The .22 pistol is arguably a superior choice to the 1911 since both pistols do the same damage due to enemies being One Hit Point Wonders and the .22 has a larger magazine and an integral suppressor. On the other hand, pistols are only a Ranged Emergency Weapon due to short range, small magazine size, and low number of spare magazines.

Little Useless Gun / int_d5166b43	comment	The M7 caseless submachine gun in Halo 2 is mechanically almost a direct copy of the MA5B assault rifle from the first game, which means it has an enormous mag size but poor accuracy and horrible damage against anything more threatening than a Grunt. Part of the issue seems to have been due to the addition of Guns Akimbo for this game — the SMG is clearly designed to be used together with another gun, e.g. stripping away shields with a plasma weapon and then perforating the meaty bits underneath with a wall of lead, so it's absolutely worthless when used on its own.

Little Useless Gun / int_dbdd3424	comment	Phantom Doctrine: Zizagged by the "French DAO" starter pistol, which is the smallest and weakest gun in the game, but can still perform one hit kills if you're sneaky. This does require a proficiency perk in the weapon to fit a suppressor, though.

Little Useless Gun / int_e3a1067	comment	In the episode "High School Nudical" in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, the ghost of the week steals Panty's... well, panties, which prevented her from summoning her gun to kill him off. She starts grabbing the underwear of all the boys in school, transforming all of them into guns to see what she can get. All of them are puny, worthless, and useless little guns fitting the same general size and shape as the trope image. A great amount of visual innuendo makes it quite clear the guns' sizes were directly proportionate to the size of the boys' dicks... When she grabs Brief's underwear, she's rewarded with a shotgun that blows the ghost away in one hit, but is only good for that one shot.

Little Useless Gun / int_e4b1e91e	comment	The Henry Stickmin game Completing the Mission at one point gives you a choice between three weapons on one pathnote Relentless Bounty Hunter/Ghost Inmate: A Big Swordnote Cloud's Buster sword, an underbarrel grenade launcher, and a "pew pew gun"note the NES Zapper, the last of which invokes this trope. Subverted; the first two choices turn out to be impractical, with the Big Sword too heavy to wield properly, and the grenade launcher breaches the hull, sucking Henry and his foes into space. The "pew pew gun", meanwhile, turns out to be surprisingly powerful, and thus allows Henry to tear through the mooks blocking his escape.

Little Useless Gun / int_e5c5bc22	comment	In GURPS, the .22 Short round has almost no chance of killing someone unless you shoot them a dozen times (or hit them in the Eye, Skull, or Vitals), although an incredibly lucky shot could be dangerous. Of course, with the bleeding rules, it is possible to die from sheer blood loss...though that takes some time.

Little Useless Gun / int_e5d5d23c	comment	The pistol in Doom sounds like a pop gun and does about as much damage. The only reason you ever use it is to kill a shotgun trooper and get ahold of a better weapon. Especially because the chaingun makes it completely obsolete - it runs off the same ammo, does the same amount of damage, but has a far higher fire rate. Most user made maps give you a shotgun straight away so you don't have to bother with the lowly pistol at all.

Little Useless Gun / int_e5de447c	comment	X-COM X-COM: Terror from the Deep will start players with dart and harpoon-based weapons, among other things. The dart pistol is weak to the point of uselessness. It does so little damage that Aquatoids, the weakest starting enemies, will take at least three direct hits to bring them down, whereas the harpoon rifle will often drop an Aquatoid where it stands after just one shot. For the price of the dart pistol and a single clip of 12 darts, you might as well buy three grenades and actually kill some of the aliens instead. The pistol in the first game is not any better: with worse accuracy than the rifle and less than half the power, the only redeeming quality the pistol has is that you can put it in your belt inventory... or you can replace it with a couple grenades for the same cost. Note that this doesn't apply to the advanced weapons you can get: the laser pistol in the first game is more accurate than a basic rifle and almost as powerful, and the plasma pistol is more accurate and more powerful than the laser rifle. In the second game, the Gauss pistol has better ammo capacity and damage than the Jet Harpoon, plus the addition of auto fire, and the Sonic Pistol, while it loses the auto-fire capability, does almost as much damage as the Torpedo Launcher, and is only beaten for accuracy by the Sonic Blasta-Riflenote The Sonic Cannon has slightly worse inherent accuracy and utility than the Blasta-Rifle due to several factors.

Little Useless Gun / int_e99e039b	comment	Bond's PP7 in NightFire is this, being his Emergency Weapon with low damage and a tiny magazine. Thankfully, it can be suppressed, making it ideal for stealth kills (although the first level that encourages stealth also has plenty of suppressed assault rifles in its stealth stages). The golden upgrade helps negate the low damage. The next pistol upgrade flat-out replaces it with the more modern, powerful, and higher-capacity P2K, which is definitely the preferred signature firearm. And that gets a golden upgrade too.

Little Useless Gun / int_ea377bc0	comment	The first gun you find in System Shock will likely be the Dart Pistol, which fires weak darts or tranquilizer rounds; neither is very powerful, and they become outright useless the second you start meeting enemies with armor thicker than a sheet of paper. Even the very first weapon you find (a lead pipe) does considerably more damage, so it's not really worth bothering with at all. The remake does away with it entirely in favor of giving you the minipistol sooner, but it likewise becomes obsolete after the first couple of floors, particularly once the Skorpion becomes available; it does slightly less damage per shot (despite using the same ammo) but has a much higher fire rate and magazine size.

Little Useless Gun / int_f2db392d	comment	Prey (2017): Since the game takes place on a space station, the pistol commonly found throughout the game is low-caliber and suppressed, to minimize the chance of one of its projectiles causing a hull breach. The downside of this is that it does minimal damage unless you go for headshots or upgrade it with weapon kits.
