Two characters are fighting against or with each other in a battle, and occasionally they find themselves swapping their weapons with each other. The reasons for this vary. If enemies: The battle is so fierce they knock each other's weapons out of their hands and have to use the other's weapon to continue fighting. To make a challenge of using each other's weapons, especially if they're not familiar with each other's weapons. They face a common foe, essentially making it an Enemy Mine situation. If allies: Because one is in a situation which the other's weapon is better suited for. May be part of Confusion Fu, especially if they're not particularly skilled with each other's weapons, their opponents aren't skilled at fighting against a different weapon type, or their opponents completely don't expect them to use such a weapon. This is especially important against enemies that No-Sell against a character's signature weapon fighting style. It may be part of their fighting style. There are more people than available weapons, so they pass what they have back and forth as needed. Both have attempted Throwing Your Sword Always Works and somehow end up with each other's weapons. Not to be confused with Real-Time Weapon Change. See also "Freaky Friday" Flip and Opponent Switch. Compare with Use Their Own Weapon Against Them if one person's is lost and used by another. |

Each of the members of Ressha Sentai ToQger will often switch their entire costumes, which gives them each other's signature weapons. This explicitly confers no practical benefit whatsoever, and they're just switching for the fun of it, until later in the show when they encounter areas where each of their powers will only work for a brief period, and thus switching dramatically extends how long they can fight. | |

Used at least twice in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 series): In one episode, one of the fight scenes reaches a climax when Leo arms himself with the Sword of Tengu, which was forged specially for the Shredder, while the Shredder ends up wielding Leo's dual katanas. This leads to a Single-Stroke Battle. In another, the brothers are facing a combat robot invented by Baxter Stockman which has been specifically programmed to counter their fighting styles; they decide to swap weapons with each other in order to confuse it, though with some difficulty early on. |

Highlander: In "Mountain Men", Caleb's son captured Duncan early in the episode and took away his katana, and gave it to Caleb. When Duncan finally faces off with Caleb, Tessa tries to return the katana to him, but Caleb stops her. So Duncan picks up Caleb's battle-axe, leaving Caleb to use Duncan's katana. In the fight that follows, both prove to be quite skilled with the other warrior's weapon. In "Unholy Alliance Part 2", the final battle between Duncan and Xavier St. Cloud has this. Duncan disarms Xavier who promptly returns the favour with his metal hook hand. After some hand to hand combat, both end up near each other's weapon and continue the fight with each other's sword. This is the likely reason for Xavier losing the fight: while Duncan has no trouble using Xavier's rapier, the katana is basically a two-handed sword, making it awkward for Xavier to fight with one-handed. |

The final battle in Cowboy Bebop, "The Real Folk Blues (Part 2)", ends when Spike and Vicious end up dropping their signature weapons — Spike's pistol and Vicious's katana — and end up with their opponents' favorite sidearm. They hand them back just before deliberately launching final, suicidal strikes against one another. | |

In one strip of The Order of the Stick, the party is fighting a sand elemental that is under specific orders to "Kill everyone, starting with the human with the greatsword" (i.e. Roy). When Roy starts getting low on hit points, Haley takes his sword in order to force the elemental to attack her instead, while Roy takes Haley's bow so he can still attack it. This backfires on Roy when he starts thinking about where Haley keeps her arrows (She usually just has one in her hand when she needs one thanks to Willing Suspension of Disbelief) and quickly runs out of ammo. | |

Used in a cutscene in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, when Dante and Vergil are forced into an Enemy Mine battle against Arkham. Usually, Vergil's weapon of choice is the Yamato, and Dante fights with the Rebellion, but they switch weapons briefly during the fight and are just as capable of fighting with the other's sword as their own. | |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Elizabeth and the two comic relief pirates, Pintel and Ragetti, are fleeing a gang of Davy Jones's henchmen with the chest and two swords between them. They end up throwing the swords back and forth to each other as needed to defeat the mooks, despite none of them having shown that level of swordsmanship or coordination before. note The commentary track says that Liz and Will have been working out their sexual tension since the first movie — since they certainly wouldn't be allowed to sleep together — by close dancing and practicing swordfighting. Lots and lots of swordfighting. Pintel and Ragetti never had a chance to really show off their swordsmanship or coordination in the first film, but they are pirates with at least ten years' experience each. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: This is how Blades and Drivers work. The Blade can create a weapon out of thin air, which the Driver uses while the Blade feeds them energy. Once they've synched enough, the Driver throws the weapon back to the Blade, who can use it for a powerful combo—but they have to throw it back to the Driver after that, as the Blade can't continue using such large amounts of energy for long. The prequel DLC reveals it wasn't always this way. It used to be that Blades had their weapons at all times, while their Drivers simply fought with normal weapons. This was inefficient, however, as the Blades couldn't recover their energy very fast or directly support their Driver with power. Lora and her Blade Jin invented weapon switching, which quickly became the standard across the world. When Addam asks how they came up with it, Lora admits they were out of money and couldn't afford to buy another sword. Addam and Mythra are flabbergasted. |

Done with fighting styles rather than weapons in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman/Power Rangers Lost Galaxy; Cobies/Chameliac, a Monster of the Week that is able to copy and counter the Rangers' fighting style gets outsmarted when the Rangers switch fighting styles and weapon configurations with each other, confusing the monster. Then, in the Megazord fight, he copies the Megazords' powers as well. When the Stratoforce Megazord shows up, he copies the Stratoforce's weapon (a giant boomerang/blade)... only for it to play this trope by pulling out the Centaurus Megazord's giant cannon and shooting him. | |

A drawn-out example features in the climax of Freddy vs. Jason. Jason gets the upper hand on Freddy, but Freddy manages to turn the tables by slicing off Jason's fingers, making him lose grip on his machete which Freddy uses along with his claw to beat Jason to a pulp. While grappling, Jason rams his severed stump into Freddy's torso, who retaliates by slowly driving Jason's machete into him. The heroine and her boyfriend manage to blow up a gas tank which sends both of them hurling into Crystal Lake. Just when they think it's over, they're approached by Freddy who's still wielding Jason's machete. Before he can kill them, he's run through with his own severed claw arm by Jason, who then topples back into the water. Lori then uses Jason's machete to finish off Freddy by decapitating him. | |

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Each team member starts with Sword and Gun, but they tend to swap around to suit their specialties: Joe (Blue) and Luka (Yellow) prefer Dual Wielding, Don (Green) and Ahim (Pink) go Guns Akimbo, while Marvelous (Red) sticks with sword and gun). In #26, the team-up with Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger, Don calls for one with Joe and Kouta (Hurricane Yellow). This lands Kouta with a Gokai Saber and Gun, Master Swordsman Joe with both a Gokai Saber and Kouta's Hayatemaru, and Butt-Monkey Don with just the one Gokai Gun. During the final showdown between Marvelous and his Rival Turned Evil Basco, the pair, who each use Sword and Gun, end up swapping one of their two weapons briefly, giving Marvelous two swords and Basco two guns. |

In Green Lantern/Space Ghost Special, Hal Jordan and Space Ghost are knocked out and captured by Keila, a native of a planet they landed on, and Keila confiscates Jordan's Ring and Space Ghost's Power Bands. When they are all attacked by a hostile military, the heroes quickly ask for their equipment back, but she accidentally throws them to the wrong hero. Space Ghost fumbles with the Ring while Jordan fumbles with the Power Bands, but they are able to defend themselves adequately until they are able to switch back. | |

In The Last Stand: Union City, you can do this with your AI partners. Most often, players use this to exploit their infinite reserve ammo by giving them automatic weapons, a valid tactic as long as you don't care about XP, as you don't get any when the AI kills the zombie. | |

One of these occurs in Big Trouble in Little China but to a less friendly degree. The main hero and his two allies take out a group of gangsters, then grab their weapons. The Supporting Protagonist quickly swaps guns with the Decoy Protagonist a moment later. Seeing that he now has a much smaller gun, he swaps it with another hero who bemoans the fact he now has the smallest weapon. | |

In the final duel of Sword of the Stranger, the nameless ronin gets Luo-Lang's dao stuck in his arm and thrown down a story or so, so Luo-Lang picks up his katana while the ronin pulls Luo-Lang's sword out for their final clash. In a bit of Shown Their Work, this actually works against both of them (the strong clashes Luo-Lang is used to breaks the katana and the ronin is moving slightly slower due to the heavier sword), but it soon becomes a moot point as they score a mutual stab that only narrowly avoids being a Mutual Kill. | |

In Avengers: Infinite Wars, during the fight with the Gorog (a monster larger than a rancor), Jedi Master Aayla Secura ends up defending herself with Steve Rogers's shield, while Steve borrows one of her lightsabers to kill the Gorog from inside after it eats him. | |

An old issue of Marvel Team-Up from the 1970s has Doctor Strange and Spider-Man use a spell to give Spider-Man's web-shooters to Strange and Strange's magical abilities to Spider-Man just long enough to confuse and defeat a sorcerer armed with a powerful mystical talisman. | |

In Shakugan no Shana, Sorath steals Shana's Nietono no Shana and callously discards his Blutsauger. Shana then picks up Blutsauger and continues the fight. They end up switching swords back. | |

Used in Goblins when the protagonists are doing battle with the Yellow Musk Creeper and the Thornback Orc clan it has enslaved. Big Ears ends up holding off the orcs with Complains' magical shortsword and Thaco's Sword Cane after throwing his handaxe, while Thaco takes Complains' katana and attacks the creeper's heart. | |

This trope was meant to happen in Revenge of the Sith during the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin. One scene opens with a cut to Obi-Wan holding a lightsaber while Anakin, who is unarmed, has grabbed Obi-Wan and has him in a chokehold; Obi-Wan then kicks Anakin to break out of this hold, they fight hand-to-hand and then both retrieve their lightsabers and begin swordfighting again. This scene is a bit confusing since in some shots Obi-Wan has his own lightsaber and in other shots he has Anakin's, because it was meant to show both disarming each other and ending up with the other's weapon briefly, but was shortened and changed to look like only Anakin was disarmed. Some shots with Obi-Wan holding Anakin's lightsaber were still used in the finished film though, leading to a small continuity problem. | |

In Noir, while Mireille is fighting Silvana, aka "the Intoccabile", Kirika shoots off the tip of Silvana's knife just as she's about to stab Mireille, who drops her own gun in shock before either realize what actually happened. They then both scramble to pick up something, with Mireille winding up with the broken end of the knife, and Silvana winding up with the gun. Notably, while Silvana has Mireille dead to rights, she hesitates — either out of genuine surprise at how quickly the situation reversed on her, inexperience since she usually uses knives, or some combination. It's just long enough that Mireille is able to close in for the kill and stab her. | |

After being lured into a death-trap by some villains, Captain America briefly ended up wielding Hawkeye's bow and arrow while Hawkeye tossed around Cap's shield. Luckily, those villains were the Death-Throws, a troupe of criminal jugglers. | |
