Nerf Arm	comment	Any logically less-than-lethal weapon which ends up being otherwise just as effective as its "real" equivalent. This could happen because the setting of the story (or the censor) does not allow a character to carry a "real" weapon. In video games with changeable/upgradeable weapons, a Nerf Arm may be the weakest version of the weapon, but the only difference between it and its stronger alternatives is (usually) the number of hits needed to defeat the enemies, or in some case, being Lethal Joke Weapon if used properly. Note that there can be some Truth in Television at work; a spud gun may not be a mortar, but it sure isn't Nerf, either. Simply being non-lethal is no indication of safety. See also Improbable Weapon User, Statistically Speaking, Cherry Tapping, This Banana is Armed. Closely related to—but not to be confused with—Nerf. Can overlap with Lethal Joke Character. A Subtrope is Wooden Katanas Are Even Better. Contrast As Lethal as It Needs to Be and Set Swords to "Stun". Compare The Man Makes the Weapon, where someone is skilled enough to use ordinary items to great effect. Also compare Fighting Clown, where a character has a very silly and comical fighting style that is still very powerful in spite (or perhaps because) of it. Usually done for the funny factor, whether the players are laughing as hard as the programmers depends on your sense of humor. Not to be confused with Numb Arm.

Nerf Arm / int_101bfcd7	comment	In the first Sengoku Basara or Devil Kings the strongest weapons are also the joke weapons. So you can get things like Toshiie impaling mooks with a swordfish, Shingen hammering people with a giant party fan and Mitsuhide maiming soldiers with oversized cutlery. Each game has his set of joke items, making this option possible.

Nerf Arm / int_110dcdca	comment	The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds brings back the Bug Catching Net. It can reflect the projectiles fired by one of the main villains. But probably not like in said game, the upgraded form is a fairly viable weapon to use against enemies, doing about the same amount of damage as the most powered-up version of the Master Sword. So for someone with good timing, you end up with a fairly viable melee weapon despite it looking utterly ridiculous.

Nerf Arm / int_1271d30d	comment	Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi: You start the game with only your fists. Most players will probably forget about this "weapon" in the first 10 seconds of the game, which is precisely how fast you will find the sword. Hilariously, the fists are actually the best way of killing single monsters throughout most of the game. Attacking with fists hits the monster so rapidly that you will stun it faster than it can recover, so you can stun-lock and pummel it until it's dead. It isn't until late into the game that you start encountering rare monsters with which this tactic doesn't work, like Demons (they CAN actually recover fast enough to hit you between your punches), or Demodus (can simply fly out of your reach).

While it's weak compared to other arms, it can be formidable in good hands, and its main feature is letting you change the order of equipping your next Devil Breaker. It also inflicts a lot of Hit Stop, making it easy to start up a combo or safely switch to another Devil Breaker.

There are some ridiculous looking weapons available such as brooms, fish, tambourines, tennis rackets, etc. However, they can be quite dangerous because A) each joke weapon contains a specialist found nowhere else that can do things like cause status ailments or never miss, and B) the Item World system means that pretty much any item can become an Infinity +1 Sword with time and effort. It is also possible to reskin a "normal" weapon to look like a joke weapon while retaining its function.

But, of course, any unarmed character can beat KunÅ� with their pinky finger. In a later book of the manga, the "Kunoichi" Konatsu has to use a fake sword because he had pawned his metal sword.

(In this case, it's only "Nerfed" in the sense that he made it by hand instead of calling it into existence by virtue of his powers of office; it's still sharp enough that the edge of it glows when he holds it up in a light breeze because it's cutting the atoms in the air into plasma.)

As well as this, the JK-47 looks like an AK-47, but is in fact a gun-shaped noodle with a droopy barrel (though reloading it can inspire a fear reaction on enemy Gundead, as they supposedly have a cultural aversion to being touched by it).

For example, Darunia has a piece of Bait on a stick while Ganondorf has a pair of keys. Besides being at odds with the HD style of the game, they're ridiculously oversized to match the scale of the characters. They all share stats with the tier 3 version of the weapon they replace, and can have the ability to boost their strength to 450 like anything else.

Nerf Arm / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: Tales of Destiny: The main character can also equip the deck brush he used to swab the decks in the beginning of the game, to the point where the Deck Brush has become his signature item (for example, used to create his costume transformation in Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon). The Deck Brush has become a recurring joke weapon in later games, like Loni's Deck Brush in the sequel, which boosts the chance of failure for his 15-kanji hi-ougi. Equipping Mary with the Frying Pan in the PSX version gives her access to the move "Zan!", which is so powerful it was later made into a Mystic Arte. Tales of Symphonia: Lloyd's starting weapon is double wooden swords. (The apparent wonky grammar is due to Lloyd's pairs of swords each being a single item in the gameplay mechanics.) He can get a title for only using the wooden swords until a certain point in the game. Each character has an harmless-looking joke weapon that is a top tier weapon for them — Lloyd's is a pair of Paper Fan of Doom. Tales of Vesperia: Judith can use two special joke artes by equipping the Deck Brush along with her maid costume. Both of them make her sweep the floor. Estelle can get a cat teaser as a weapon, which replaces her standard burst arte with a joke one that makes her crouch down and start waving the cat teaser up and down as if to entice some invisible kitty. Each wave of the teaser will damage enemies touching it very slightly, and can actually combo some of them for a surprisingly long time, depending how much Estelle decides to wave it around. It's very likely to be interrupted if she's not using the invincible level four Overlimit, though. Amusingly, this becomes a surprisingly effective way of damaging enemies in the PS3 remake of the game, thanks to the new Burst Keep skill, which makes Overlimit last until a burst arte finishes. Couple this with the fact that Overlimit level four is invincible and prevents flinching from almost everything and the fact that Estelle can play with the cat teaser forever if nobody makes her flinch, and Hilarity Ensues. There is a sidequest involving an eccentric inventor that ends up netting your party lots of useful goodies: the last part of the sidequest requires you to perform various tasks, like doing enough total damage during a single playthrough, fighting enough battles, carrying enough money, and running away from enough battles. As a reward, you get a shinai, a piece of grilled chicken made out of metal, a cat-teasing toy, a measuring tape, Heihachi's head made out stone on a handle with 765 Kg printed on its forehead, a deck brush, and a slingshot with a blade attached to it. They're still useful, since their attack strength is compareable to most other endgame weapons, and even if it wasn't, all of them still teach you unique skills you can't learn elsewhere. The cat teaser and the deck brush also have unique special attacks, the latter of which even has potential to do an easy infinite combo. Tales of Graces is similar. In particular, Asbel's giraffe-sword is second only to his Infinity +1 Sword, which is obtained partway through the final dungeon. Tales of Symphonia has an entire set of these. When you rebuild Luin past a certain point, the weapon shop goes from selling earlygame weapons to Lethal Joke Items including a plastic pink dagger, a pair of paper fans, a tambourine, a deck brush, a baseball bat, a bag full of money, and a squeaky toy hammer. These are only about three steps below the most powerful weapons in the game, but they still give you about +700 attack. Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology takes it to levels even more ridiculous than the Ranma 1/2 example, if not as over-the-top. A wooden sword you can buy early on is a step up from your starter weapon if you're a warrior — said starter weapon being an enormous one-handed axe. Tales of Xillia has multiple ones. Aside from being the origin of the silly looking weapons like the giant Squid or a staff of a pointy finger, it also includes the Princess Plumelle item for Elize. It's a very pink, adorable staff—and her strongest wand in the game, not counting a powered up Devil's Arm for her. Tales of Xillia 2 also rewards you with a very silly looking weapon for each of the party members upon finishing certain sidequests (examples include a pair of popguns and an omlette pan and spatula for Ludger, a giant paddle for Gaius, and an enormous grilled squid for Alvin). Similarly, they're just about the strongest weapons you have access to prior to beating the game, thanks to both their high attack power and special abilities, and in the case of the pan and spatula for Ludger, allow him to perform a special attack if he's wearing his chef costume. Tales of Arise has a set of farm-themed weapons, like a giant carrot for Alphen, a watering can for Shionne, and so on. All of these weapons has very low attack power, but sky-high Penetration, stat that allows the character to land more Critical Hits. Additionally, during a mid-game sidequest the player can retrieve the very same Iron Pipe that Alphen used during the game's prologue, which can be used as a sword. It's the weakest weapon in the game, though, but can be used for crafting the strongest normal weapon.

Nerf Arm / int_3209fad1	comment	Mabinogi has a number of these as regular and event-specific weapons and armour. The regular ones are merely household implements like small hatchets, cooking knives, and musical instruments; but also include intentional weapons like large hatchets and wooden swords. They are weaker than your open-hand damage; but can be upgraded to do a reasonable amount of damage (although nowhere near as much as a regular weapon). Event-specific items often include cutesy weapons like the recent toy bow and arrow set and "cat paw club", a big furry cat paw on the end of a stick; and similarly cute armour and accessories, such as panda paw gloves, and various costumes. In most cases, they're of only average or worse effectiveness; although in a few (such as the cat paw club), they're fairly powerful. They typically come with limitations, however, in that they cannot be upgraded, enchanted, or repaired (all items wear out with time and use).

The only drawback is that you aren't about to be finding eggs scattered across the haunted prison to replenish your ammo. Likewise, in The Suffering: Ties That Bind, you can, through a convoluted series of hidden events, obtain a giant plastic cocktail sword that even has a giant olive attached to it. It acts as a melee weapon and does very high damage; unfortunately, it's not a one-hit-kill weapon, uses up a weapon slot, and melee combat with the later enemies in the game is kind of suicidal.

Completing Lord Trifles Minutiae's Pop Quiz sidequest gets you a giant spoon. Yes, a giant spoon. That you use as a weapon. That makes enemies explode on death. The Wedge of Destiny is a shield that is literally a massive cheese wheel, with the paring knife still stuck in it. It's not actually a bad shield for the early mid-game. The Jade Ham from the Jaws of Hakkon DLC is a carved ham roast stuck on top of a stick. It's one of the best one-handed weapons in the entire game. (Notably, you can put a magical rune on your ham roast to upgrade it. The weapon also has a chance to inflict poison, which has some less savory implications.)

As a reward, you get a shinai, a piece of grilled chicken made out of metal, a cat-teasing toy, a measuring tape, Heihachi's head made out stone on a handle with 765 Kg printed on its forehead, a deck brush, and a slingshot with a blade attached to it. They're still useful, since their attack strength is compareable to most other endgame weapons, and even if it wasn't, all of them still teach you unique skills you can't learn elsewhere. The cat teaser and the deck brush also have unique special attacks, the latter of which even has potential to do an easy infinite combo.

Musashi held his carved boat oar in such a way that masked how much longer it was than the typical sword giving him an advantage in reach. The technique is still taught today.

The Toy Spitball Gun is just that, a toy that shoots foam balls that do no damage and merely stagger foes. However, the foam balls are, for some reason, coded as thrown objects rather than projectiles. There is a boss fight against a helicopter which you take down by throwing objects into its rotor blades. You do the math.

Nerf Arm / int_429fe663	comment	Not all magical items in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire are deliberately enchanted, as the description of Eder's Saints War Armor (which isn't an example) attests. This leads to some unlikely magical weapons: The Street Sweeper is a broom wielded as a quarterstaff that can cause confusion in enemies and strip them of positive buffs. Pukestabber is a shiv carved from a beer stein that eventually collected enough energy from the souls of angry drunks to grant that power to anyone who wields it while inebriated, at a terrible price thereafter. Aretezzo's Cane is just a cane used as a crude bludgeon, but it can gain power according to (depending on the enchantment chosen) the user's diplomatic or intimidation prowess. It also provides resistance to dexterity afflictions by being usable as a cane.

Nerf Arm / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: The game has brooms, pitchforks, broken bottles, rolling pins, and even fish as weapons. There don't usually have any stats on them and do very weak damage, but putting a fiery enchant on a broom and running around hitting stuff with a flaming broom of death is entertaining. There was a long period of time where the best weapon for a rogue was the Barman's Shanker, essentially a smashed liquor bottle. There's a whole subcategory of fishing poles in WoW. It has to be equipped to fish with it, but sometimes bored PVPers would equip it just so they can say they beat someone to death with a fishing pole. Mostly rogues, because it's the only two-handed weapon rogues can equip, aside from a Wrath of the Lich King weapon entitled "The Fire Extinguisher." If you are fishing for any length of time while waiting for a queue to pop, expect to realise at some point that the reason your DPS is so low is because you have forgotten to re-equip your sword after entering the dungeon. There is also the Mug o'Hurt and Hurley's Tankard. Probably the best item especially for Dwarf Rogues in the 40s for demonstrating Drunken Master brawling. Played with in terms of the Soft Foam Sword toy. Despite being a foam sword, this toy is able to do near-lethal damage to non-elite enemies of "trivial" difficulty (that is, they would not give experience if you killed them). The key being near-lethal; the primary purpose of this weapon is to be able to weaken lower-level enemies without killing them, which is necessary for some low-level quests (and difficult to do on a high-level character, even with no equipment and Resurrection Sickness).

The protagonist can also get some Awesome, but Impractical baseball bats, which have high power but terrible accuracy. Sidequests in 4 can get you weapons for Yosuke modeled after trout and grilled corn. These are actually really good weapons. The grilled corn, in particular, has a high chance of casting Silence on any enemy not immune to it; in a game where hitting elemental weaknesses is a major part of the combat system, this is not to be sneezed at.

However, between the extremely high attack speed, the cheapness to repair and the surprisingly good crit-multiplier, it is murder in the hands of a crit-focused melee build. Much like Fallout 1 and 2's Red Ryder, New Vegas has the Abilene Kid Limited Edition BB gun. It shares most of its stats with the regular BB gun... except for the ability to do 70 points of damage with a critical hit. Take into account that the weapon is silent (the only silent weapons more powerful with a crit are sniper rifles), lightweight, and has no Strength or Guns skill requirements to get maximum, that critical damage is not affected by weapon skill, and sneak attacks always being critical hits, and you've got an amazing weapon for a Courier with high Sneak but low Guns skill.

Clutter such as forks, plates, ashtrays paper-money stacks, books... Teddy bears. You haven't lived your full Capital D.C. Wastelad experience until you applied Chunky Salsa Rule to someone's head with a plunger! The Dart Gun, which looks ridiculous, considering a main part of its construction is a little toy car. It only does a small amount of damage due to its poison effect... and instantly cripples the target's legs, reducing their speed to a crawl. Make one and show it to your Deathclaw friends! One should also note that the poison damage caused by this weapon completely ignores armor, meaning it's just as effective on a raider as a guy in full power armor. If you talk to "Biwwy" in Lamplight Caverns, he'll offer to give you a "Wazuh Wifle" for 500 caps. Seems ridiculous for something you probably already have multiple free versions of by that point, but then again, you should also have an ungodly amount of money and a high enough Barter skill to get it for half price at that point as well. Turns out, it really is called "Wazer Wifle" in your inventory, and you can repair it using other Laser Rifles. But, as it turns out, it's not just a Laser Rifle with a gimmicky name, it also has a higher damage than the standard Laser Rifle. Combined with the Laser's faster rate of fire, it becomes a highly viable alternative to the Plasma Rifle. Completing Point Lookout's main quest line rewards you with the Microwave Emitter, which looks like the Mesmetron, but is much deadlier and bypasses armor as well.

Nerf Arm / int_6fe3e8a7	comment	In Neopets, even before Power Creep started to take effect over the years, the Sword of Domar always served as one from the beginning. It doesn't look silly; it's a greatsword made of lead, which, granted, isn't a good weapon material (even bronze would slice through it in Real Life), but it still seems like it should have SOME use. And yet, a pet can literally do more damage by equipping nothing and just punching their opponent. In fact, the sword is so weak that an unarmed pet will No-Sell it being used against them. Particularly noticeable as some of the rarer and more powerful weapons include vegetables and rubber duckies.

Number 1: The Sheep Cannon. 4 shots, high homing, high damage, and stick to enemies before exploding. Number 2: The Doody Launcher. Just as high damage, slows down enemies, mades a weird fart noise, and makes them visible on your radar.

Nerf Arm / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The starting sword in the original The Legend of Zelda is made of wood. Link also uses a wooden sword in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but for a significantly shorter period of time. The latter is almost certainly a Shout-Out to the former; other equipment you get in Twilight Princess by the end of the 'wooden sword part' include the Lantern (the first equipment you get in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) and the Slingshot (mostly pointless except as a Shout-Out to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or when you need to conserve arrows). The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds brings back the Bug Catching Net. It can reflect the projectiles fired by one of the main villains. But probably not like in said game, the upgraded form is a fairly viable weapon to use against enemies, doing about the same amount of damage as the most powered-up version of the Master Sword. So for someone with good timing, you end up with a fairly viable melee weapon despite it looking utterly ridiculous. Hyrule Warriors has an 8-bit weapon for every weapon type, meaning every character has at least one and some have several. For example, Darunia has a piece of Bait on a stick while Ganondorf has a pair of keys. Besides being at odds with the HD style of the game, they're ridiculously oversized to match the scale of the characters. They all share stats with the tier 3 version of the weapon they replace, and can have the ability to boost their strength to 450 like anything else.

Nerf Arm / int_76b8cb10	comment	Fallout: The first two games both have the Red Ryder Limited Edition BB gun, which has the same average damage as a sniper rifle with half the weight, a 50% faster fire rate, and a 100-round magazine. Its best use is putting someone's eye out (no coincidence, since it's a Shout-Out to A Christmas Story.) Subverted in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. One of the weapons you can find? A water pistol. And then you start finding jars of acid in your travels through the Wasteland. Fallout 3: Rock-It Launcher, which allows the player to use all the clutter they've found in the wasteland as potentially lethal projectiles. Clutter such as forks, plates, ashtrays paper-money stacks, books... Teddy bears. You haven't lived your full Capital D.C. Wastelad experience until you applied Chunky Salsa Rule to someone's head with a plunger! The Dart Gun, which looks ridiculous, considering a main part of its construction is a little toy car. It only does a small amount of damage due to its poison effect... and instantly cripples the target's legs, reducing their speed to a crawl. Make one and show it to your Deathclaw friends! One should also note that the poison damage caused by this weapon completely ignores armor, meaning it's just as effective on a raider as a guy in full power armor. If you talk to "Biwwy" in Lamplight Caverns, he'll offer to give you a "Wazuh Wifle" for 500 caps. Seems ridiculous for something you probably already have multiple free versions of by that point, but then again, you should also have an ungodly amount of money and a high enough Barter skill to get it for half price at that point as well. Turns out, it really is called "Wazer Wifle" in your inventory, and you can repair it using other Laser Rifles. But, as it turns out, it's not just a Laser Rifle with a gimmicky name, it also has a higher damage than the standard Laser Rifle. Combined with the Laser's faster rate of fire, it becomes a highly viable alternative to the Plasma Rifle. Completing Point Lookout's main quest line rewards you with the Microwave Emitter, which looks like the Mesmetron, but is much deadlier and bypasses armor as well. Fallout: New Vegas: The dress canes used by the White Glove Society are simple walking sticks in a world filled with weapons like the Super Sledge. However, between the extremely high attack speed, the cheapness to repair and the surprisingly good crit-multiplier, it is murder in the hands of a crit-focused melee build. Much like Fallout 1 and 2's Red Ryder, New Vegas has the Abilene Kid Limited Edition BB gun. It shares most of its stats with the regular BB gun... except for the ability to do 70 points of damage with a critical hit. Take into account that the weapon is silent (the only silent weapons more powerful with a crit are sniper rifles), lightweight, and has no Strength or Guns skill requirements to get maximum, that critical damage is not affected by weapon skill, and sneak attacks always being critical hits, and you've got an amazing weapon for a Courier with high Sneak but low Guns skill. Fallout 4: The Rock-It Launcher's swole successor, the Junk Jet. Ever beanbagged a Super Mutant to death with pillows? Now you can! The Nuka-World DLC gives players the Thirst Zapper, which is basically a water pistol. Not only is that water pistol effective against a boss with an electrically-overcharged suit of power armor, but it can be modified to use weaponized Nuka-Cola as a handheld explosive cannon. When used in conjunction with Nuka-Cola Quantum, its damage output rivals even the Fat Man, a weapon that launches miniature nuclear bombs!

Less nerfy, but still somewhat in the spirit of this trope, are the starting weapons in Persona 4, like the protagonist's golf club, Yosuke's wrenches, and Kanji's folding chair. The protagonist can also get some Awesome, but Impractical baseball bats, which have high power but terrible accuracy. Sidequests in 4 can get you weapons for Yosuke modeled after trout and grilled corn. These are actually really good weapons. The grilled corn, in particular, has a high chance of casting Silence on any enemy not immune to it; in a game where hitting elemental weaknesses is a major part of the combat system, this is not to be sneezed at. In Persona 4: Arena, most of the characters use their proper weapons (Yu's katana, Naoto's revolver, Akihiko's fists, etc) but Kanji still uses the folding chair. His attacks are still some of the most damaging in the game. Persona 4: Arena Ultimax: Rise has never fought before and doesn't even have a Persona with combat abilities, but she can stand against the others with a microphone stand and J-pop. Becomes a Justified Trope in Persona 5. The Phantom Thieves fight with replica weapons and model guns, but they cause real damage due to the Your Mind Makes It Real nature of the mental world. As long as the Shadows think the weapons are real, they can be hurt by them. Goro Akechi (a.k.a. Crow) plays it straight the most, utilizing toy swords and ray guns in battle.

It's useful for an interesting side-quest, though. There's also the miner's pick, which is rather heavy and not much more effective (and not quest related). The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has replica and ceremonial weapons and armor, which appear in various display cases and dungeons in Cyrodiil and as their names suggest, look exactly like their normal equipment counterparts. All have stats of 1 while retaining all the weight of normal equipment. There's not even a point in selling them since the weapons have a value of 0 and the armor has a value of 1. Skyrim: The Hearthfire expansion adds the wooden sword to the list of equipable weapons. Yes, it is a kid's toy. Yes, it does next to no damage. Yes, your one-handed skill still has an influence on how much damage your toy sword can do. Yes, it can be upgraded like any other sword. Yes, it can also be enchanted. Which means that a player with maxed-out One-Handed, Smithing and Enchanting skills (and optionally assorted buffing jewelery and potions) can still slaughter dragons with a wooden sword.

Nerf Arm / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones both plays the trope straight and averts it in the same scene, featuring a sequence where swordsmaster Syrio Forel takes out five Mooks in seconds with a wooden practice sword. However, when he faces down an Elite Mook, who has plate armor protecting every possible weak spot (throat, groin, hands), immediately afterward, he's stymied. Being a swordmaster, this is somewhat surprising, as one would expect him to be familiar with "half-swording" and the Mordschlag, or "murder stroke", which would have allowed him to use his sword as a make-shift club. Played straight in the Hand's tourney. The lances used for jousting are deliberately Nerfed and shatter on impact to prevent death, but Ser Gregor manages to impale a knight through the throat with one anyway. As the Hound remarked afterward, "Gregor's lance goes where Gregor wants it to go." Played with somewhat in one of the prequel Dunk and Egg stories. When facing what is essentially a Trial by Combat en masse, (seven guys representing one side versus seven for the other) Prince Baelor recommends that they use tournament lances as their weapons. When one of the other knights points out that tournament lances are made to break and their opponents will be using lances made for the battlefield, Baelor responds by saying that tournament lances are also much longer than war lances, and thus if the knights fighting for Dunk can hit the target accurately and knock their opponents off their horses, the fact that they're nerfed won't matter. The strategy proves somewhat successful, but several knights still die from wounds sustained from those war lances.

Nerf Arm / int_a753b87d	comment	Part of the backstory of obscure fencing movie By the Sword is that a famous modern day fencing master and instructor found out that his best student was having an affair with the master's wife, responded by challenging the student to a duel, and died as a result. Only the student knows that the master gave the student a real, sharpened rapier while arming himself with only a blunt training blade, and proceeded to beat the student senseless with the training sword. The master only died because the humiliated student stabbed him In the Back when the master was finally ready to relent and show mercy. The student, finally released from 20 years in jail at the start of the movie, eventually winds up confessing all this to the master's son, who is also a fencing champion and instructor and who regards his father with some disdain because "he spent half his life winning fencing championships and then got himself killed the one time he was in a fight that really mattered".

His ultimate weapon is literally a giant shish-kebob. And before that, Covenant had Joachim using such weapons as a large segment of pipe, a rolled-up package of textiles, a locker, the desk of a wrestling emcee, a miniature skyscraper with actual miniature people in it that scream when he swings it, and a miniature nuclear submarine that was not only a Stealth Pun to the name of the developer but also contained enough firepower to sterilize the Earth of life (but was never used to do so due to a gentlemen's agreement).

All of these weapons has very low attack power, but sky-high Penetration, stat that allows the character to land more Critical Hits. Additionally, during a mid-game sidequest the player can retrieve the very same Iron Pipe that Alphen used during the game's prologue, which can be used as a sword. It's the weakest weapon in the game, though, but can be used for crafting the strongest normal weapon.

When facing what is essentially a Trial by Combat en masse, (seven guys representing one side versus seven for the other) Prince Baelor recommends that they use tournament lances as their weapons. When one of the other knights points out that tournament lances are made to break and their opponents will be using lances made for the battlefield, Baelor responds by saying that tournament lances are also much longer than war lances, and thus if the knights fighting for Dunk can hit the target accurately and knock their opponents off their horses, the fact that they're nerfed won't matter. The strategy proves somewhat successful, but several knights still die from wounds sustained from those war lances.

It becomes this trope when Flynn later finds himself fighting soldiers with it, and not only does it work well, it works better than their swords. The end of the film reveals that all the kingdom's soldiers apparently now carry frying pans.

Nerf Arm / int_ea684cd0	comment	In Bayonetta 2, completing all the chapters on 3rd Climax (Hard) unlocks the final weapon: A Chain Chomp. An actual living Chain Chomp straight out of Super Mario Bros. that's chained up to Bayonetta's leg. Crazy as it sounds, it makes for a powerful mix of an Epic Flail that'll smack angels and demons flat and an Angry Guard Dog that'll bite them into submission. And the best part about it? Not even Rodin, who makes a living from taking down demons and turning them into weapons for Bayonetta and is very much one of the biggest badasses of the series, could tame this beast!

This gives Felicia an idea to start using the battle flags from the Voting Gauntlet as daggers, due to their effect of increasing attacking power by up to eight times when used in the Gauntlet. Cue the next panel where the trio celebrate victoriously by a massive pile of dead mooks impaled with the battle flags while Corrin looks on in shock.

It shares most of its stats with the regular BB gun... except for the ability to do 70 points of damage with a critical hit. Take into account that the weapon is silent (the only silent weapons more powerful with a crit are sniper rifles), lightweight, and has no Strength or Guns skill requirements to get maximum, that critical damage is not affected by weapon skill, and sneak attacks always being critical hits, and you've got an amazing weapon for a Courier with high Sneak but low Guns skill.

Nerf Arm / int_efa0da46	comment	Castlevania: Curse of Darkness takes the cake for having its very own section, along with one extra joke weapon in each normal category which include floating cartoon bombs, boxing gloves, a badass-looking electric guitar, and a deck brush, classed as a pole weapon, the final charge attack of which, instead of a flashy attack or quick stabbing motion, involves Hector dash-sweeping in front of him for as long as you mash the triangle button. It is not only a handy attack but also a handy mode of transport, and with good aiming a great way to break open all those candle stands. Also, the sweeping attack does almost as much damage as a normal attack, so with a familiar who boosts strength you can actually kill the wyvern boss by cleaning his back. The Electric Guitar deserves special mention. Hector rocks out insanely, damaging enemies with waves of pure metal awesome, and it's actually a fairly strong weapon with a good area of effect. Used well, it can see you through a fair chunk of the game, and nothing beats blasting demonic enemies with the power of rock.

Princess: The Hopeful: Since the weapons produced by a Princess's Fight Charms are essentially pure expressions of her intent to inflict harm, their physical appearance does not need to be correlated in any way with their lethality. So a Princess could conjure a foam sword and have it cut like a real one, to the bewilderment of all and sundry.

Nerf Arm / int_f120845f	comment	Almost half of the weapons in the humorous MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing are of this kind. While most of the silliest weapons (tiny paper umbrellas, balloon swords, squeaky mallets etc.) are pretty weak, a powerful character can still do massive damage with them, and some silly weapons (e.g. potato guns and cardboard swords) are actually quite effective. Almost all the magic based weapons are cooking utensils. (Iron pasta spoon, Gnollish pie server, etc.) The reason for magical utensils? The magic-using classes are known collectively as "Chef-Magi." Ranged weapons seem to have a higher tendency to be silly. Among the ranged weapons with power 180 or greater (max power is 200) are a recordnote as in, the precursor of the CD, a bag of candy, a Slinky, a bag of snowballs, a paddle-ball, a beer-slinging catapult, a beer bong, a guitar, a sitar, and a didgeridoo.

Nerf Arm / int_f17c3b1d	comment	Dead Rising has a literal Nerf Arm as a potential weapon: the Mega Buster fires little Nerf-like balls that do virtually no damage. One in-game achievement unlocks the Real Mega Buster, the Infinity +1 Sword of firearms. There's also the Toy Laser Sword, which, other than cool lighting effects and pushback, does no damage at all (except in the Wii version, where it kills most enemies in one hit). Getting an in-game achievement (different from the one above) gives Frank access to the Z-Saber, which looks exactly the same, but is beam death.

Nerf Arm / int_f38b71c3	comment	Dead Space 2: The Hand Cannon is a giant red foam finger worn over Isaac's right hand. It cannot be upgraded with power nodes, and when "shot", Isaac yells out "Bang! Bang!" or "Pew! Pew! Pew!", depending on which mode of fire you use. It has no laser targeting like the other weapons, and all in all, it seems like just a silly gag item, until you point it at a necromorph and "shoot" it, which causes instant death and severs every limb from said necromorph. It runs on infinite "ammo" and never needs to be reloaded, and shoots as fast as you can click your mouse. Unfortunately, you have to beat the game on Hardcore difficulty first, making it a Bragging Rights Reward as well. It makes a return in Dead Space 3, except this time as the Devil Horns. Much like its predecessor, it's a Bragging Rights Reward, obtained for beating Classic Mode. It does all the same things the Hand Cannon does, except when you "reload," Isaac will headbang to a sick guitar riff.

Nerf Arm / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: For most of the Destiny Island area, this is averted when Sora wields a wooden sword. It's so weak it doesn't even do damage to Shadows (the weakest enemies outside of Destiny Island). Oddly, when he takes up a wooden sword again near the end of the game, although it is much weaker than the keyblade he'd been using all along, it still is capable of dealing damage and even vanquishing the Heartless (Though they don't flinch when struck by it). Perhaps this is due to Sora being so very levelled up. Ditto for the Struggle Bat Roxas uses in the virtual Twilight Town in Kingdom Hearts II. In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, each member of the Organization can equip 1-2 comical but nonetheless effective "joke" weapons. These include a sandwich, a broom, light bulbs, pizza, and a giant soup ladle. Also, Roxas uses a stick for one mission while Xion borrows his Keyblade. In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the prize for making all the flavors of ice cream is a Keyblade called "Sweetstack". Said Keyblade is made of ice cream, and looks absolutely ridiculous. It also has a 100% critical hit rate, making it one of the most powerful Keyblades in the game, although its critical hit damage multiplier is pretty low.

The sword itself has a cat face on the hilt and shoots cats with rainbow trails, and even makes cat noises and everything. The Terrarian can also be considered one to a lesser extent, as it's just a yoyo, but also is an endgame melee weapon with massive DPS (second only to the Meowmere), especially when combined with the Yoyo Bag. The same can be said of the rest of the yoyo weapon class. The firework rockets sold by the Party Girl are a primarily visual effect furniture that happen to deal 150 damage to whatever they hit. With proper planning and timing, it is possible to use them to kill the Moon Lord in 3.5 seconds.
