A character will have a weapon hidden in his sleeve. Occasionally extracted by a device attached to his arm that will eject the weapon into his hand when the situation calls for it; this can overlap with Blade Below the Shoulder. Typically it's a knife, throwing star or a Little Useless Gun, though there are other options. This is especially likely if they have sleeves obscuring their hands. Westerns, such as Louis L'Amour novels, use the gun version occasionally. Often called a "palm gun", a "sneak gun", a "gambler's gun", "gambler's draw", etc. This type of weapon was common among Mississippi riverboat gamblers. Derringers were the favourite as you really can hide one up your sleeve. Western or Film Noir Femme Fatales are often armed with this type of gun as well as, or instead of, a Chastity Dagger. Sometimes the sleeve is a good way to access Hammerspace. If you find yourself wondering how the object being removed could possibly fit inside a sleeve, you know Hammerspace is involved. Shots where the weapon is revealed are often framed as a Menacing Hand Shot. A knife in the boot is another variant. Anyone paranoid enough to have this many spare weapons is almost certain to have another one under their pillow and yet another by the bathtub. The title is a common line for a Stage Magician, as a way to assure the audience that he has no hidden devices that would help him perform the trick. Don't expect characters hiding a weapon to say this line unless Hammerspace really is involved. Not to be confused with Floating Limbs, although the two could potentially be used simultaneously in order to create more space. Subtrope of Hidden Weapons. May involve Cute Oversized Sleeves to hide a weapon under overlength sleeves, while the character appears cutesy. Compare Combat Haircomb. |

Mousse from Ranma ½ has tons of melee and ranged weapons that are never visible until he uses them. Not only does he have a virtually unlimited number of these, but the sheer variety of them can only be attributed to it being a martial arts comedy series. In his debut arc, among more traditional weapons he uses claws hidden in his shoes, a hook and wire concealed in his hair, and a training potty from his sleeves that he slams into his opponent's head before they can see what it is. | |

Angel: Angel had spring-loaded stakes in both sleeves. They appeared fairly frequently in Season 1, before fading out in later seasons. They occasionally show up with new owners, first with Connor in Season 4, and then with Spike in Season 5. They would return in the Grand Finale, this time wielded by Gunn. Wesley gets a collapsible sword that comes out of his sleeves during his darker period in Season 4, and has a Grappling-Hook Pistol there on a couple of occasions. The potential problems of this trope were shown in "Spin the Bottle" where an amnesiac Wesley kept inadvertently activating all sorts of weapons that came flying out of his sleeves. In "Sleep Tight", Holtz lets a knife surreptitiously drop out of his sleeve and into his hand as one of his followers starts questioning his orders; when she ends up agreeing with him he uses it to peel an apple. |

Fargo. Mike Milligan carries a spring-mounted derringer up his sleeve. We first see him use it in episode 4 to kill Otto's nurse (while the Kitchen Brothers each kill one of the Gerhardt soldiers escorting Otto). then in episode 7, when the Undertaker is sent to get rid of Mike, Mike comes out of another room, looking like he's about to shake hands with him...only for his derringer to pop into his hands so he can shoot him in the head. | |

Morwen the witch in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles has her sleeves actually enchanted to function as a Bag of Holding. Being a pragmatic witch rather than the wicked variety, she keeps in them such things as specimen jars, emergency broomstick-enchanting balm, and a collapsible lantern, rather than anything nasty. No word on if she has a rabbit up there either. | |

Discworld: Inigo Skimmer from The Fifth Elephant; among his hidden arsenal is a dagger shaped to fit the shape of the edge of his hand (so he can remove people's heads with nothing more than a karate chop) which emerges from his sleeve when he shrugs his shoulders in a certain way. Vimes first realises that the clerk is more than he seems because he feels the palm dagger armor under his sleeve when he grabs his arm. Double Subverted in Night Watch; Vimes knows Carcer always has a backup knife, and relieves him of it. But- In the Discworld universe, the 'nothing up my sleeves' gesture is the traditional sign that the following spell will be performed the old fashioned way, with magic. It has also been likened to something less...friendly. |

An episode of Superfriends did a variation on this with their version of Mr. Mxyzptlk: One of the heroes asks, rhetorically "I wonder what Mxyzptlk has up his sleeve this time.." Cut to Mxyzptlk, who is eavesdropping: "What do I have up my sleeve?" Pushes the sleeve back, leaving his glove floating unsupported in midair. "Why, nothing of course!" Cue Evil Laugh. | |

A variation appears in Xena: Warrior Princess with the small knife the heroine kept in her original costume's bodice. It was spring-loaded to pop out from her top, with the trigger being just under her chest. Presumably it required exact pressure so as to keep from triggering if she got punched. Notably, as Xena continued her Heel–Face Turn during the series, the dagger was phased out. | |

In The Dark Knight, the Joker is an outright Psycho Knife Nut. He conceals a blade in at least one shoe, and when he's arrested and searched, the cops find "Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint." Earlier on, when he visits the mobsters and they try to attack him, he reveals that the inside of his coat is lined with grenades that he's rigged to detonate all at once if need be. | |

The Stargate SG-1 episode "The Devil You Know" has returning Big Bad Apophis kill two Jaffa guards with a blade that appears out of his sleeve, although it stays fixed on his wrist rather than falling into his hand. In a much later episode, Carter kills Lord Yu with a blade that comes out of her hand. And by comes out of, we mean her hand morphs into a blade. |

The Assignment (1997). Donald Sutherland plays CIA agent Jack Shaw, who plans to kill Carlos the Jackal during a hostage exchange at Vienna airport, using the mechanical-derringer device trick. But as Shaw reaches out his hand to Carlos, the CIA Chief of Station shouts for him to stop, making Carlos instinctively point his submachine gun so Shaw doesn't dare move. After Carlos leaves the Station Chief (who was unaware of Shaw's intentions) cautions him against "appearing in a newspaper photo shaking that man's hand". | |

Any protagonist in The Wheel of Time series not wielding a sword or magic can be expected to have knives stashed around their body and the ability to produce them at will. The most notable of those, Mat Cauthon, is stated to have 11 daggers stashed about his person, and in one particular fight goes through at least 6 of them. There is always at least one knife in each sleeve, no exceptions. Enough daggers to make the Aiel nod approvingly when he removed his weapons for Rhuidean. And that was before he Took a Level in Badass. |

Jonathan Creek: In "Mother Redcap", the killer uses a spring loaded spike to stab the Victim of the Week on the pretext of examining the 'body' (who was actually just stunned by an electric shock). The spike disappears back up their sleeve as they stand up and announce the victim is dead, thereby creating a Locked Room Mystery. | |

The Mariachi from Desperado used dual Ruger KP90s that he drew from his sleeves. He uses this twice, once during the Tarasco Bar shootout, and the other during the final showdown with Bucho. Weird because the KP90 is a pretty big handgun. Looking closely, you can see that the prop guns that pop out needed to have their grips cut down in order to fit in Banderas' sleeves.◊ |

In Justified Quarles has a spring-loaded sleeve gun mechanism strapped to his arm. He likes to tell people that he is unarmed and to demonstrate this by raising his hands up as he approaches them. As his left arm reaches face level, he activates the mechanism which propels a small gun into his hand. He then shoots his victim in the forehead from close range. | |

The Punisher (2017): Billy Russo sports a spring-loaded knife up his right sleeve. The first time he uses it is in episode 7 to kill Colonel Bennett after Bennett is rendered a liability, with the scene staged to look like death by BDSM gone bad. The second time he uses it is to kill Sam Stein, taking advantage of Sam's shock at seeing his face upon unmasking him. In the climatic fight with Frank at the end of Season 1, he grapples with Frank and springs it fully through Frank's forearm. Then he puts it through Frank's shoulder as well. It doesn't save him. | |
