What do you get when you combine IKEA Weaponry with your Shoe Phone? A really bad hotfoot. Also, a Scaramanga Special, a.k.a. the infamous Golden Gun; a custom weapon that is designed such that it can pass for a collection of mundane items when taken apart. A device like this is a step above a concealed weapon, as it is intended to pass even a full security screening and frisking. If you're using firearms, the weapon itself is just a platform made of inert metal. Getting the ammunition — which will certainly contain chemical explosives — past effective security will be key. Or, perhaps try a weapon based on gas pressure, springs, or a tiny crossbow, and have it rely on poison rather than impact. These special weapons are designed in one of two different ways: Put Together: Various components which may either be functional (eg: a cigarette lighter) or merely cosmetic (eg: a hood ornament) by themselves but they can be put together so it will function as a weapon. Transformable: The weapon can be adjusted by either disassembling it or by manual manipulation to become something else (functional or cosmetic). Despite the name, this trope does NOT refer to the ability of the Golden Gun in the GoldenEye FPS to kill in a single shot, even though the Golden Gun in question is named in honor of the Trope Namer. The gun itself was only really lethal because Christopher Lee's character was hyper-accurate. For golden guns in general, see Bling-Bling-BANG!. Differs from Improvised Weapon: these are things used as weapons that may or may not normally be used in that fashion. Also not to be confused with Swiss-Army Weapon, Shapeshifter Weapon, Gun Accessories, or Morph Weapon. |

Bloodborne: The Threaded Cane is a downplayed example: it looks like a walking cane from a long distance, is a sword with a walking cane's handle and a spear's tip, and if you trigger its transformation ability it turns into a bladed whip that is clearly not ceremonial. | |

The Jackal's gun from the original novel and first film of The Day of the Jackal was built into and assembled from parts of the crutch that formed part of his disguise as a war veteran, which he used to get close enough to, and try to assassinate General de Gaulle. The later film remake just had a big machine gun built into the back of an estate car. | |

In Discworld fic Fresh Pair of Eyes by A.A. Pessimal, a student Assassin with an oddly familiar name scores a rare victory over her teachers with a prohibited bow — used to fire an attached explosive Device. The students were utterly prohibited from bringing anything more lethal than a pocket-knife on a field trip. But Natasha Romanoff smuggles in a bow plus arrows. She gets away with it as all a casual observer will see are the struts, frame, and ties of as perfectly-normal seeming rucksack. Disassembled and rebuilt, they become a small collapsible bow. Plus arrows. Granted, Natasha gets the Vimes Run as punishment. But it's worth it for having got one over Miss Band and Miss Smith-Rhodes. | |

During WW2, M.I.9 (the intelligence directorate charged with supporting agent operations in Europe and assisting British POW's make home runs out of captivity) devised weapons including a fountain pen that could fire spring-loaded darts. These were used as nuisance weapons against German soldiers operating in occupied France, although the possibility that the darts could be poison-tipped was also there. And the pens could also be used to write with, helping them to pass superficial examination if the carrier was detained and searched. Other weapons included incendiary bombs concealed inside rat and rabbit corpses, things fastidious Germans would pass by and shudder at. The warped genius in charge of M.I.9's weapons division was later written whole and unaltered into the James Bond novels as Q-Branch, and later, Q himself. | |

In Gorky Park, Investigator Arkady Renko finds a gun disguised as various innocent-looking objects packed in a visiting American's baggage. Of course, he never would have thought to try piecing random objects together into a gun if it weren't for the fact that the American chose such an odd selection to pack. | |

In Blue Eye Samurai, this is how Abijah Fowler gets 200 guns past Japanese ports and his scheming co-conspirators. The stocks are hidden as piano legs, the flintlock mechanisms as chess pieces, the barrels as part of a candelabra, etc. It's also foreshadowing that he's working with someone in London. | |

The James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun is the Trope Namer and Trope Maker. Scaramanga has a gun that can be assembled from a pen, a cigarette case, a lighter, and a cuff link, all gold-plated. This allows him to carry his weapon of choice on commercial flights. It was custom made by an underground gunsmith and fires gold bullets in a non-standard caliber that he wears in his belt buckle. The material allows him to carry it through metal detectors and airport security. He's mastered the process to a degree he doesn't even need to be looking at it—at one point he discreetly assembles the weapon while staring down Bond without the latter even noticing. In the novel that the film was based on, he just uses a gold-plated Colt Single Action Army. Notably, the weapon not only didn't function as depicted but would be impossible to function. The pen and lighter had to be gutted of their working parts, the lighter itself was a custom model sized differently to fit the rest, the cigarette case had the lid blocked from opening by the locking mechanism, and the cufflink trigger didn't work as a cufflink. All of the "disassembled" pieces that Scaramanga used were separate commercial products and the prop gun was divided between a non-firing model that could be assembled and disassembled, a solid stunt gun, and a firing model that detonated percussion caps in the barrel for muzzle flash. |

In In the Line of Fire, Mitch Leary smuggles a gun made out of plastic to a dinner speech by the president. The only metal parts are the two bullets that he hides in a rabbit's foot keychain and two springs disguised as part of a pen and pencil set. He trains himself to put it together without looking too, so he can appear even more non-threatening as he assembles it under the table. In an interesting twist, in real life, the ATF had the actual (fully functional) weapon destroyed, because it violated the Undetectable Firearms Act (this law is why the modern Liberator pistol contains a 3-ounce chunk of metal that serves no actual function). The prop one was left intact, and IIRC is on display. | |

Darksaber, one of the Star Wars Legends novels, has an Imperial warlord attempt to kill Admiral Daala with a knife after she poisoned an entire gathering of other such warlords with neurotoxic gas. Impressive, not only for having the knife be made up of several of his "decorative" medals, but for him having the presence of mind to immediately start assembling it as soon as he realizes he, and everyone but Daala and her assistant, have been gassed. She even gives him an appreciative look of respect as he approaches. He manages to make it to within a single step of her, but by that point, it is too late. | |

Duke Togo, a.k.a. Golgo 13, has been known to use one of these on rare occasions, usually when dealing with particularly paranoid individuals. In Episode 34, he carries out an assassination with a gun created by combining a fountain-pen and several pieces that he had cast on the spot, using a building-model as containers and a specially-prepared bulletproof vest for the material — and just for added kicks, the soft alloy could be dissolved in a conveniently-placed bucket of hot soup. Thus, he took this trope a step farther than the rest of the examples, by assembling and disassembling his gun on the MOLECULAR level... | |

BattleTech has a few instances of weapons reassembled from their disguise as innocuous items. One particularly creative example in the canon had a belt, a hairbrush, and a suitcase convert into a katana. It used the hairbrush handle for the grip, the belt buckle for the handguard, the length of the belt for the sheath, and a specially cut and sharpened piece of metal hidden as the bottom of the suitcase for the blade. | |

Parodied in an episode of Angie Tribeca, where a sniper struggles to put together a rifle he bought from OKEA (an IKEA parody). When he finally assembles the gun, he forgot to put in the trigger. Since his target is about to leave the building, the sniper resorts to knocking on the office door and bludgeoning the guy with a heavy pipe. | |

The Laptop Gun from Perfect Dark can turn into a laptop. However, it can also turn into a wall sentry. Very useful in multiplayer games (and the target tests at the Carrington Institute's firing range). According to the in-game description, it's an imperfect disguise. The laptop works, but has only a fraction of the memory it should. Just enough to foil the 'please turn it on' test, as well as some minor poking about. The game itself admits that under serious examination the facade will fall apart in short order. |

The Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Demontage featured, as part of its James Bond pastiche, an assassin disguised as a wineglass salesman, whose sample glasses could be transformed into a knife and a single-shot gun — neither of which would set off metal detectors. | |

Though it doesn't appear in the game proper, the manual for Crusader: No Regret mentioned a nanotech pistol that could turn into a functioning cell phone and back. In the game, this was used to turn furniture into hostile mechs. | |

CSI: "All In" features a large decorative belt buckle that is actually a functional .22 derringer. The original owner, a collectibles dealer, wore it as a hold-out gun. | |

Desperado: the main character calls his two buddies who also wear black and carry guitar cases, but their cases don't contain guns, they are guns: a machinegun and a rocket launcher. | |

Liege Fablulo of the Insecticomics is actually a sentient version of this. By himself, he's a fluffy dancer with no common sense at all, but when combined with his Mini-Cons he becomes a cold killer. | |

Chakona Space: In one chapter of the "Flight of the Star Phoenix" sub-series, a group of hijackers pulls this off in conjunction with slow chargers for the energy pistol's power cells to further avoid detection by the ship's crew. | |

In a Mickey Mouse Comic Universe story Goofy had gotten his leg twisted and he was using a crutch he happened to have lying around which had belonged to a relative of his. At one point the crutch gets accidentally broken, and as Mickey is putting it back together he notices that there are bullets in the top support, and he accidentally assembles it into its "rifle" configuration. | |

In This Gun for Hire, the Anti-Hero is making the Big Bad write out a confession. The Big Bad does so — but it turns out his pen is also a fancy gun. He shoots at the Anti-Hero, misses, and promptly dies of a heart attack. | |

In the Babylon 5 episode "Midnight on the Firing Line", Londo had one of these disguised component weapons which he assembled to kill G'Kar. Garibaldi finds out and convinces him not to go through with it. Furthermore, Garibaldi warns him that he will search the ambassador's quarters for weapons, and you don't doubt that he would be able to spot the parts assembly of the gun if he found the pieces. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Heart of Glory", the Klingons Korris and Konmel were able to break out of the Enterprise brig by assembling a kit-form disruptor from their belts and other parts of their uniforms. It's only good for a few shots, after which Korris picks up one of the dead guard's phasers. | |
