When you have your weapon act like it is a Swiss-Army Knife — having multiple functions in one — you have a Swiss-Army Weapon. There are many ways of accomplishing this. The most common is having your weapon be several weapons in one, whether they are weapons literally strapped onto each other and capable of acting as 2 (or more) weapons at the same time, or having several forms it can cycle through. Or, it may just be a humble single-formed weapon that the user finds many uses for, including uses that are improbable and sometimes non-combat utility that may be mundane in nature. The advantages are numerous; it gives you more versatility in combat, letting you handle more problems than someone with only one weapon. It also (usually) takes less space than if you carry several weapons at once, making you less encumbered. Be careful of Rummage Fail, however, which is a bit of a problem in the middle of battle. So what else can a character do if they want the versatility of, oh, say... ten pointy and blasty things? See also Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot. See Magic Tool and Every Device Is a Swiss-Army Knife for the tool-oriented variant of this trope (though weapons that combine the uses of/have tools and weapons in them aren't unheard of). Related is Bifurcated Weapon, a weapon that can be separated into smaller weapons; the fact that the "separated form" and "combined form" add to the user's versatility makes it much like this trope. Sub-Trope of Impossibly Cool Weapon. Supertrope to: Mix-and-Match Weapon Morph Weapon Swiss-Army Appendage: When your appendages (whether naturally by the person's ability, or artificially) can be/turn into multiple kinds of weapons. Swiss-Army Gun: A gun that is several guns at once/can fire multiple different things. The self-directed version is a Do-Anything Robot. And of course, this weapon goes very well with Adaptive Armor. Do not confuse with actual Swiss-Army Weapons. |

In addition to its ability to compel the truth out of people, it protects Wonder Woman from the effects of mind control, can dispel illusions, exorcise demons, allows Diana to read the minds of whoever is bound in it and can remove impurities from the body. In the earlier comics, she used it as an impromptu propeller, an emergency roller coaster track extension, an electrical conduit, another propeller, a drill, and some sort of sonic dinosaur repellent. She also used it occasionally to actually snag things. Specifically, a nuclear missile, all of Paradise Island, and a lightning bolt. | |

The Mighty Thor's uru hammer Mjolnir is not only a nearly indestructible melee weapon, it can also be thrown to devastating effect, it controls the weather, fires various types of energy, opens interdimensional portals and enables the wielder to fly. Some of its other abilities (which have been used and/or referenced far less frequently) include its capacity to generate anti-matter, magnetism, force fields, intense heat, a magic neutralizing field, a memory-erasing aura, and the ability to freeze time. | |

The Zanpakutou (Soul-Cutting swords) in Bleach usually change in appearance when in released form, be it from one type of sword to another (like Ichigo's Zangetsu, which goes from a giant khyber knife to a classy black daito), one type of weapon to another (Ikkaku's Houzukimaru from katana to hybrid naginata and three-section staff) or single-to-double weapons (both Shunsui and Ukitake's swords). Some of them have different shikai (initial release) and bankai (final release) forms apart from their sealed state. Byakuya, for example, has a running total of 4 different forms of bankai. Note, however, that this is technically more of a Super Mode than a Swiss-Army Weapon, especially in the case of Bankai. Even though the altered functionality of the weapon is often part of the point (especially in many early examples of Shikai), the main reason to use it tends to be a general increase in power and the acquisition of new abilities. |

There are several examples in MS Paint Adventures. In Problem Sleuth, there was a running gag that weapons could turn into innocuous items, such as a tube of lipstick into a chainsaw and a paintbrush into a whip. In Homestuck, Kanaya wields a lipstick/chainsaw as a Mythology Gag, while Jane has a spoon that can turn into a fork at the flip of a switch. | |

The main toyline to tie in to Transformers: Dark of the Moon had this as its primary gimmick. Called Mechtech, each figure was given a large weapon which could, through spring loaded mechanisms, be converted into a different weapon, with weapons paired with Voyager or larger figures equipped with a locking mechanism. The basic concept (without the locking mechanism) was also used for the Voyager, or 'Powerizer' class of the Robots in Disguise Toyline based on Transformers: Prime. | |

The Blue Beetle's scarab. When it bonded to Jaime Reyes, the latest Blue Beetle, it gave him alien Adaptive Armor that can sprout energy weapons out of his forearms, or turn his entire arms from the elbows down into energy weapons if he needs something of a higher caliber. Also saw blades, gripping claws, and smaller extra arms when he needs to grasp more than two things at a time. He can fly with wings, with a rocket mounted on his back, or, in a heavy storm, with a surfboard attached to his feet. | |

Hawkgirl's Energy Mace from Justice League. It's made of energy-dispersing Nth Metal and can be electrically charged with a thought. So it functions as a light source, protection against magic, and a Magical Defibrillator. When she isn't using it to smash things. Its versatility and effectiveness against magic earned it the Fan Nickname "Deus Ex Mace-ina". |

The Devices of Lyrical Nanoha have different forms to suit the needs of the mage or knight. The Devices of the two leads have the most. Nanoha has a staff that reconfigures into a blaster that turns into a spear that releases four attack drones. Fate has an axe (technically a bardiche) that flips open to reveal a scythe that grows into a BFS that splits into two sabres which she combine into an even bigger BFS. Touma from Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force has a gunsword - like a revolver with a blade taped under it. He could still probably shoot with it. |

The Roy Orbison movie The Fastest Guitar Alive included a guitar that played perfectly... and shot bullets. While that is only two functions in comparison to the dozens that other devices in this list show, the sheer impossibility of a single device that both fires bullets accurately (without a trigger mechanism) AND does not need any more tuning that a normal guitar qualifies. | |

RWBY has this as one of its major gimmicks. Weapons in the setting are considered intensely personal as an expression of individuality, so most weapons have at least two properties (usually a melee version and ranged version). Of the main cast, Ruby Rose has a giant scythe that can transform into a sniper rifle or a compact form for transportation, Yang Xiao Long has a pair of gauntlets that fire shotgun shells when she punches, Blake Belladonna has a sword that can be folded into a gun and used as a grappling hook, and Weiss Schnee has a rapier which can automatically be loaded with magical dust. Coco's minigun transforms into a handbag, which she uses as an effective melee weapon against giant Grimm. Dr. Oobleck's coffee thermos turns into a baseball bat and flamethrower. Qrow Branwen is one of the few characters whose weapon has four states; A compact state for transportation, a massive greatsword, a gun, and a scythe. Ruby, who happens to be his niece, learned to fight with a scythe from him. Sun Wukong's weapon is usually a Martial Arts Staff, but it can break down into a pair of nunchaku, that themselves have flintlock pistols concealed in the handles. The show even parodies itself at one point, with a bandit who has a revolver.... with a knife taped to the handle. |

In Paranoia, cone rifles and some other guns take multiple types of ammo (armor-piercing, hallucinogenic gas, tactical nuke, etc.) with the same size shells, which are never ever mislabeled. One mission also has you field-test a bayonet attachment for a cone rifle (which, predictably, just breaks the rifle and sticks you with a hefty fine). | |

In the earlier comics, she used it as an impromptu propeller, an emergency roller coaster track extension, an electrical conduit, another propeller, a drill, and some sort of sonic dinosaur repellent. She also used it occasionally to actually snag things. Specifically, a nuclear missile, all of Paradise Island, and a lightning bolt. Wonder Woman (Rebirth): The Rebirth version of Nubia wields the Staff of Understanding. It can be used in its primary spear form and transform into a Blade on a Rope with unlimited range. The Staff also has magical properties similar to the Lasso, as seen in issue #5 of Nubia & the Amazons when it restores Medusa to her human form. |

Omi's Shimo Staff in Xiaolin Showdown — it's a small baton that can be transformed into any Melee weapon when wielded. It's made of solid water. Don't ask how that works, and keep in mind that this is a show with coins that make you leap like an insect, and shirts that weigh two tons and are indestructible. |

As in Comic Books above, the Lawgiver handguns from Judge Dredd can switch to several types of ammunition with a simple voice command and without needing to change magazines. Like in the comics example, this leads to the scene where the Big Bad pulls the trigger on Dredd, only for the gun to inform him "lethal rounds exhausted". So Dredd wrestles the weapon from him, yells "signal flare!" and returns fire. | |

Trevor Goodchild, nemesis of Æon Flux, carries a multifunction cigarette case and lighter that transforms into a derringer. In one episode (A Last Time for Everything) it's highlighted as a MacGuffin. Aeon's own weapon of choice, the FUG (Flux Universal Gun) is also fairly modular. It can be loaded with numerous different types of ammo, including rapid fire flechettes, high explosive shells, high explosive robot spiders & of course, pressurized gas cartridges & a grapple. |

At last count, Inuyasha's Tessaiga's sheath can generate a powerful barrier and summon the blade to itself. The sword itself can create extremely powerful anti-youki barriers, extremely dangerous blasts of kenatsu, mountain shattering blasts of air/youki, rebound and amplify youki attacks, cut through barriers (up to a point), shoot out high powered barrages of diamond spears that flat out dissolve even stronger barriers (and can be amplified by the aforementioned mountain shattering blasts), absorb youki (and ghosts, and senki, including that generated by a human), regurgitate/redirect youki, purify youki, generate flames, create portals into hell/other dimensions/the future/spiritual resting places in other dimensions in the future. Oh, and it seems to also be at least semi-sentient (hell, possibly even prescient, considering that it and its brother are able to figure out when and how to be used, even when their masters aren't even aware that they need to be used — or not used — at all), and it eats youki, which means that it can pretty much gather powers ad infinitum. | |

Quite a number of James Bond films have Bond getting a Swiss-Army Watch. In addition to telling time, they also have various other functions depending on the movie. Some of these functions include a built-in detonator, grappling hook, and laser. Just his watch? Don't forget his cellphone in Tomorrow Never Dies that also had a tazer, a lockpick, and a fingerprint reader/viewer, plus was able to control his car. And what about the keychain that had lockpicks, stun gas, and plastic explosive in The Living Daylights? And the mother of all James Bond Swiss-Army Weapons: the attache case from From Russia with Love, containing a sniper rifle, ammo, a knife, gold coins for bribing, a spare gun, and a teargas bomb booby trap. Arguably all of 007's Weaponized Cars are Swiss-Army Weapons since they are fully-functional cars yet also contain machine guns, ejector seat, rockets, jet motors, lasers, and one very special car turned into a fully-functional submarine with torpedoes, underwater mines and a cloud of ink! |

Genesic GaoGaiGar's multi-segmented tail can turn into at least three distinct weapons. The end of the tail (actually a bird's head) transforms into a knife, and the other three segments either form the base of the Bolting Driver or reconfigure into gloves for the Finishing Move Hell and Heaven. Also of note is the bucket of RaiRyu Dump truck form, which in robot form serves as a shield, an electric gun, and a means of flight. |

An ornate-looking club, originally devised by the Mountain Folk, once activated it projects an Essence field with two settings; burning lethality, or blunt impact. The shaft also contains a built-in miniature Essence cannon, which can also fire in both lethal and non-lethal modes. | |

Marvel Universe: The Mighty Thor's uru hammer Mjolnir is not only a nearly indestructible melee weapon, it can also be thrown to devastating effect, it controls the weather, fires various types of energy, opens interdimensional portals and enables the wielder to fly. Some of its other abilities (which have been used and/or referenced far less frequently) include its capacity to generate anti-matter, magnetism, force fields, intense heat, a magic neutralizing field, a memory-erasing aura, and the ability to freeze time. Similar to the Mjolnir but made of from alien ultratech is Ronan the Accuser's Universal Weapon. A mighty two-handed hammer that can generate energy blasts, force-fields, matter manipulation, be an Amplifier Artifact and flight. Captain Marvel has inherited the weapon and found she can divide the Universal Weapon for use by other people. Spider-Man: Minor foe Mr. Stone has "multi-cannons" that fire explosives, blinding flares, burning flares, sticky immobilizing goop, stun-pods, and more. Likewise, Spidey's clone, the Scarlet Spider, had "webshooters" which were bracer-sized devices that could use Spidey's traditional web fluid in a variety of ways. His favorite (besides the standard strands) was "impact webbing", a small ball that would explode into a gooey mess on impact. And Spidey himself could do that in some video games. Following Secret Wars (2015), Tony Stark altered his armor to essentially combine every single one of his suits and their specialties into one, achieved by Voluntary Shapeshifting. Within the first four issues, it goes completely invisible (making it look like he's not wearing it), develops massive energy weapons and even goes full Hulkbuster. Even Doctor Doom is impressed. Machine Man was much like this, with his stretching arms, and fingers each with a different weapon. The new version of him from Nextwave has become a Flanderization of this, having just about anything he can think of pop out of his body. His response to a female colleague asking if he can impregnate her from across the room? "I am full of useful devices." Avengers: The Initiative introduces the Tactigon, an alien symbiotic weapon which attaches to the wielder's arm and becomes anything that it needs to be, whether that's an energy axe, razor wire, an energy blaster, or even a device for removing other alien symbiotic weapons. Daredevil's Cane/Grappling hook/Nunchucks/Billy Club/Simple Staff/Bulletproof shield/Katana/Recording Device/Taser/Gas Gun/Sniper Rifle/Back Scratcher. Death's Head has several different weapons that he can swap his right hand with. His most common ones are a mace, an axe, a blaster, and several different types of missiles. As Valkyrie, Jane Foster wields Undrjarn, the All-Weapon, which was formed from the shards of the Mjolnir of the Ultimate Universe and can transform into whatever weapon Jane wants or needs. |

In Buso Renkin, this is standard practice - unlike in most Shōnen, becoming stronger isn't about reaching new power levels, but about finding different and creative uses for the weapon you have. A later character, for example, has tiny homing chakrams for weapons. In addition to controlling them, he can use them to enhance his punches, ride on them like wheels, or even propel himself through the water by spinning them. | |

In Pathfinder 2nd ed. supplement book Lost Omens: Gods & Magic, the young android goddess Casandalee has her favored weapon, the Polytool. Turns out a polytool is actually a Swiss army knife (including file, awl, magnifying glass and flint & steel, etc). Casandalee wants to spread innovation throughout Golarion and the polytool is easy enough for the local smith to replicate, unlike a laser gun or warpdrive. | |

The Panacea rifle from Seekers of Truth. The polymer barrel can expand and contract to change its interior diameter. If you find some ammo lying around, and it's no bigger around than 40 mm, go ahead and shove it in there. Also features a flamethrower, a high-pressure water cannon, and an electronic scope with built-in bullet drop compensation. Doesn't have guided missiles or anything, because that would be silly. The second generation of the rifle is a pair of gauntlets with guns on them, which can fire anything 20 mm or less. |

Living Shardblades from The Stormlight Archive can become a sword, a spear, a shield, a warhammer, a halberd, a dagger, a fork, or whatever other metallic item its Radiant needs. Justified by the fact that it's actually Voluntary Shapeshifting on the part of the Radiant's Bond Creature. | |

Dungeons & Dragons examples, all shapeshifting. 1st Edition Advanced D&D: Dungeon Master's Guide: Rod of Lordly Might (mace, sword, battle axe, spear, life-force absorbing device, magic staff, door opener, ladder, target of infinite puns...) Unearthed Arcana: Rod of Flailing (rod, horseman's mace, footman's mace), Staff-Mace (quarterstaff, great mace, mace), Staff-Spear (staff, spear, long spear), Anything Sword (any type of sword), Hornblade (knife, dagger, scimitar). Slightly subtler: metalline, a metal that allows a weapon made of it to switch between any kind of special material, such as adamantine, mithral, or silver—useful for overcoming different types of damage reduction. Magic Item Compendium: The Rod of Surprises, it can be used as a javelin, kama, longspear, quarterstaff, scyth, shortspear, short sword or spear. It can also store messages of up to 25 words to be repeated on command. There is also the Morphing property, that allows a weapon to become any other weapon of the same hand category (i.e. a one-handed weapon with the property can be any one-handed weapon). Every single weapon ever made by the Kender of D&D's Dragonlance setting, as seen here. The most famous is the hoopak, which is a staff with a slingshot at one end and a spike at the other. |

The Shaw Brothers film Jade Tiger was arguably the king of this trope. The villainous Four had a sword that had two smaller swords inside of it, and the last one was also a bomb. The movie's hero had a staff that could be turned into a spear or gigantic nunchucks. At the beginning of the film, a blind monk takes out his glass eyes and throws them as grenades. | |

In Gundam SEED, the Blitz Gundam's right arm mounts the "Trikeros offense/defense system", which is a shield that also contains a beam rifle, a metal stake launcher, and a beam saber. Its MSV-based mass produced variant, the N Dagger N, pairs it down to just the shield and beam rifle. It is said that the Sword Strike Gundam's "Schwert Gewehr" anti-ship sword was meant to also have a beam gun built into it, but that one was a prototype, so it didn't have it. A later model, the Sword Calamity, did. The Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L from the Gundam SEED Astray manga has the Tactical Arms system, which is a booster backpack that can become a BFS or a gatling gun. The Sword Calamity in the same series carries a pair of BFSs that double as laser guns. A model kit version of the Blue Frame Second L takes this even further, enabling the halves of the sword to detach and become beam blade tonfas. The recently released Master Grade kit of the Astray Red Frame ups the ante further by giving it its own Tactical Arms, where the booster backpack can become a BFS, a longbow that fires laser beams, a V mode (not sure what it's for yet), a weirdly named Delta mode (which may be related to the Stargazer's method of moving long distances without using power like a solar sail) and finally, a 'Work Mode' where the entire Tactical Arms mounts on the left arm and works like Kyrios' pincer claw while the handle detaches and becomes a beam torch; this mode however, (in a moment of Fridge Brilliance) rather than being for combat, is for making salvage work and other Junk Guild tasks easier for the Red Frame to do. Additional translations suggests that Red Frame's Tactical Arms II also carries abilities to pull Gold Frame's Energy Drain and be controllable via DRAGOON system. Later entries include the "Caletvwlch" multipurpose tool, It's meant to be a cutting and induction welding tool with two detachable blades ("Build Cutter" and "Build Knife") and a welding torch ("Build Torch"). It can convert into a long sword ("Mode S") and a beam rifle ("Mode G"), though the Junk Guild doesn't like those modes to be used unless it's for self-defense. Gundam SEED Astray also has the Gundam Astray Gold Frame, which is upgraded with the Blitz Gundam's right arm, including the multifuction shield. After several other upgrades, its ultimate iteration (the Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Custom (Okitsu-no-Kagami Equipment Type)) makes the left arm into just as much of a Swiss-Army Weapon, by adding the "Okitsu-no-Kagami beam shield system", consisting of a beam shield that can also function as a beam spear and a whip. |

Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga: The titular hero's signature weapon, the Circle Arms, is a sacred weapon that can change its abilities and form depending on what form is being used in a particular situation. Multi Type: Multi Sword, the default form of the Circle Arms which functions as a great close and medium range weapon with a balance between speed and force. Power Type: Power Claw, a strength-oriented weapon meant for close quarters combat, it employs both striking and lifting attacks. Sky Type: Sky Arrow, an agility-oriented weapon meant for aerial and long-range combat, it is a bow-like weapon that fires arrows of energy to fight opponents with and can charge shots for maximum power output. |

Star Trek: The phasers and disruptors could be used to stun someone, burn or heat a target, cut, kill, be set on overload and explode, or even disintegrate a target. It was even useful in brewing coffee. Photon torpedo casings have a wide variety of uses in addition to being weapons. Some of the other uses include using them as probes, high speed (and claustrophobic) transports, and as caskets. Gary Seven's servo in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Assignment Earth." Among its many functions, it can stun or even kill people, disabled forcefields, and unlock doors. |

Kamen Rider: Introduced in Kamen Rider X, these became exceedingly common in the Heisei era, being used in almost every series from Agito on. Kamen Rider X: The title character's Ridol has whip/sword, stick, rope, and longpole modes. Kamen Rider Agito: The title character's Shining Calibur (used in his final form) serves as twin swords or a naginata. Kamen Rider Ryuki: Ryuki's Drag Visor-Zwei has gun and sword modes. Knight's Dark Visor-Zwei has a gun mode or split into a sword and shield. Kamen Rider 555: Faiz's final weapon, the Faiz Blaster, has sword and gun modes. Kaixa's Kaixa Blaygun is both a sword and pistol. Kamen Rider Blade: Chalice's Chalice Arrow has Bow, Knuckle, and blade modes. Kamen Rider Kabuto: The Kunai Gun can be used as handgun, knife or axe. Hyper Kabuto's Perfect Zector is a BFS/rifle combination. Kamen Rider Den-O: The DenGasher and ZeroGasher, which are multi-part weapons whose mode depends on how the parts are combined. The latter is simply a BFS/crossbow, but the former has been changed into a sword, gun, axe, spear/fishing rod, paired boomerang and hand axe, and naginata. Useful things they are. Kamen Rider Kiva: Ixa's Ixacalibur has sword and gun modes. Saga's Jacorder is used as both a sword and a whip. Kamen Rider Decade: The title character's Ride Booker has three functions - a blaster, a sword, and storing the cards he uses to turn into other Riders and use special attacks. Kamen Rider Double: The title character's final weapon is the Prism Bicker, which splits into a shield and sword. Kamen Rider OOO: The title character's Taja Spinner functions as a shield, gun, and knuckle weapon. The Medagabryu (his final form's weapon) has axe and bazooka modes. Kamen Rider Fourze: Fourze Cosmic States' Cosmic Module Barizun Sword has Sword Mode and the club-like Boost Mode. Kamen Rider Wizard has the Wizarswordgun, which is a sword that turns into a gun, somewhat like Lightning's. He later receives the Axcalibur when he obtains Infinity Style, which is a sword that can also function as an ax. Kamen Rider Gaim: Multiple Riders use the Musou Saber, with sword and gun modes. It can also be combined with other weapons into a naginata, larger sword, or kusarigama. Kamen Rider Drive: Mach and Chaser have the Zenrin Shooter and Break Gunner, with gun and knuckle functions. Kamen Riders Lupin and Dark Drive use the Lupin Gunner and Blade Gunner, which have the same gun and knuckle functions, but add blade modes. Kamen Rider Ghost: The title character has the Gan Gun Saber, which outdoes the DenGasher - it can reattach and reassemble into four different forms (sword, naginata, twin swords and gun), or combine with the four animal gadgets into an energy bow, larger rifle, hammer, and sickle. His later Boost form comes with the Sunglasslasher, with sword and blaster modes. Kamen Rider Specter's Gan Gun Hand is no slouch either as its base rod form can become a gun or combine with his Cobra Mobile into a sickle. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: The Gashacon weapons wielded by the Riders all have multiple modes: Ex-Aid and Genm have the Gashacon Breaker hammers with extending sword blades (and Ex-Aid's Super Modes uses the Gashacon Key Slasher, a sword with axe and gun functions), Snipe's Gashacon Magnum handgun can fold out into ad sniper rifle, Lazer's Gashacon Sparrow bow can split into paired sickles, Para-DX's Gashacon Parabragun axe can spin around to reveal a gun barrel, and the Gashacon Bugvisor used by multiple characters including Genm is a Transformation Trinket that can be mounted on the arm to be wielded as a chainblade or a rapid-fire beam gun. The only Gashacon weapon that doesn't change form completely is Brave's Gashacon Sword, which swaps between fire and ice modes. Kamen Rider Build: The title character's Drill Crusher is a drill-shaped sword that can be swapped into a gun, while the Kaizoku Hassyar is a bow with bladed limbs that lets it function as a melee weapon and the Fullbottle Buster is a large sword that can turn into a cannon. Cross-Z Charge and Grease have the arm-mounted Twin Breaker, which has beam gun and Pile Bunker modes. Kamen Rider Zi-O: Zi-O has the Zikan Gilade, which can switch between sword and gun modes, while Geiz has the Zikan Zax, which can switch between crossbow and ax modes. Woz has the Zikan Despear, which switches between spear, scythe, and hooked blade modes. Kamen Rider Zero-One: The Authorise Buster, wielded by both Zero-One and Vulcan in their respective Assault forms, can switch between a cannon mode and an ax mode. Kamen Rider Saber: Kamen Rider Kenzan's Fuusouken Hayate can switch between a one-sword mode, a two-sword mode, and a shuriken mode. Kamen Rider Durendal's Jikokuken Kaiji can switch between a longsword mode and a trident mode. Kamen Rider Revice: Kamen Rider Live and Kamen Rider Evil have the Evilblade and Livegun, which switches between blade and gun modes depending on which Rider is using it and which way the blade/barrel is oriented. Kamen Rider Geats: Geats can use the Geats Buster QB9 in either railgun mode or blade mode. |

The FORCE: Ground multi-rifle from Dan Simmons's Hyperion Cantos has multiple modes, including a high powered particle beam, pulse bolts, a killing laser, a standard rifle, heat-seeking flechettes, smart grenades, and a targeting system that meant you would never miss, in a sandstorm, at ten kilometers. According to the book, it could do just about anything besides cook your dinner, and in the field, soldiers would often use the laser on a low setting to do exactly that. | |

Lots from the Gundam franchise: In the UC and CE productions, many of the later mobile suits' shields have integrated beam or projectile launchers. The Zeta Gundam had both its beam rifle and BFG double as beam sabers, while the Double Zeta Gundam had two beam cannons whose barrels could also become giant beam sabers. In V Gundam, a rotating beam saber functions as weapon, shield, and helicopter rotor. In Gundam X, the titular Gundam's rifle is its shield. Later, when it's rebuilt into the Gundam X Divider, it loses the rifle-shield combo for a double-barreled beam machinegun and the Divider Shield, which is a shield, a 19-barrel beam-firing BFG and a booster pack! In Gundam SEED, the Blitz Gundam's right arm mounts the "Trikeros offense/defense system", which is a shield that also contains a beam rifle, a metal stake launcher, and a beam saber. Its MSV-based mass produced variant, the N Dagger N, pairs it down to just the shield and beam rifle.

The recently released Master Grade kit of the Astray Red Frame ups the ante further by giving it its own Tactical Arms, where the booster backpack can become a BFS, a longbow that fires laser beams, a V mode (not sure what it's for yet), a weirdly named Delta mode (which may be related to the Stargazer's method of moving long distances without using power like a solar sail) and finally, a 'Work Mode' where the entire Tactical Arms mounts on the left arm and works like Kyrios' pincer claw while the handle detaches and becomes a beam torch; this mode however, (in a moment of Fridge Brilliance) rather than being for combat, is for making salvage work and other Junk Guild tasks easier for the Red Frame to do. Additional translations suggests that Red Frame's Tactical Arms II also carries abilities to pull Gold Frame's Energy Drain and be controllable via DRAGOON system. Later entries include the "Caletvwlch" multipurpose tool, It's meant to be a cutting and induction welding tool with two detachable blades ("Build Cutter" and "Build Knife") and a welding torch ("Build Torch"). It can convert into a long sword ("Mode S") and a beam rifle ("Mode G"), though the Junk Guild doesn't like those modes to be used unless it's for self-defense. Gundam SEED Astray also has the Gundam Astray Gold Frame, which is upgraded with the Blitz Gundam's right arm, including the multifuction shield. After several other upgrades, its ultimate iteration (the Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Custom (Okitsu-no-Kagami Equipment Type)) makes the left arm into just as much of a Swiss-Army Weapon, by adding the "Okitsu-no-Kagami beam shield system", consisting of a beam shield that can also function as a beam spear and a whip. In Gundam 00, both the Gundam Exia and the titular 00 Gundam have swords with built-in beam guns. Gundam Build Fighters Amazing: The Mercury Lev almost have everything, one section can switch between any of the melee weapons while the other can switch between any ranged weapons. |

If you like the idea of using Zorg brand weapon clusters in your OGL science fiction games, there is a blatant copy in the OGL supplement 1001 Science Fiction Weapons. You will need to be proficient in both energy and slugthrower weapons to use the General Weapon System Mark 183, which contains a shotgun, particle beam, laser, micromissiles, and grenade launcher in one single handy pod. The more advanced Mark 490 contains an X-ray laser, stun ray, plasma gun, armour-piercing force bolt, and an antimatter gun. | |

Powerful weapons and multipurpose tool all in one, but necessary for their mission of defending planetary populations against any manner of supernatural threats anywhere in the various realities and universes, helping those populations rebuild after massive disasters or even relocate to new worlds and provide them with the basic essentials for survival... more often than not, all by themselves. | |

The DCU: Doom Patrol supervillain Codpiece has, well, a giant transforming codpiece weapon. In Final Crisis Aftermath: Run, General Immortus' team of losers includes Miss Army Knife, the Woman of a Thousand Attachments, who is a Swiss-Army Weapon. The Blue Beetle's scarab. When it bonded to Jaime Reyes, the latest Blue Beetle, it gave him alien Adaptive Armor that can sprout energy weapons out of his forearms, or turn his entire arms from the elbows down into energy weapons if he needs something of a higher caliber. Also saw blades, gripping claws, and smaller extra arms when he needs to grasp more than two things at a time. He can fly with wings, with a rocket mounted on his back, or, in a heavy storm, with a surfboard attached to his feet. DC's 1958 space hero Rick Starr Space Ranger (no relation to Isaac Asimov's 1952 David Starr, Space Ranger) uses a "multi-raygun" that can fire an anti-gravity ray, bubble ray (imprisons the target in a forcefield bubble), dissolverizer ray, explosi-discs (energy grenades), paralysis ray, thermoblaze ray and anything else that a given plot might need. As Red Robin, Tim modified his Telescoping Staff so that pressing on a discrete panel and twisting causes a blade to extend from one end. He only uses it as a last resort, however, as the entire reason he chose a staff as his weapon of choice was for its non-lethal applications. The staff already had an EMP emitter in it while he was still Robin, but he doesn't use that much since it disables his own tech as well. Wonder Woman: Diana's Lasso of Truth is an incredibly versatile weapon. In addition to its ability to compel the truth out of people, it protects Wonder Woman from the effects of mind control, can dispel illusions, exorcise demons, allows Diana to read the minds of whoever is bound in it and can remove impurities from the body. In the earlier comics, she used it as an impromptu propeller, an emergency roller coaster track extension, an electrical conduit, another propeller, a drill, and some sort of sonic dinosaur repellent. She also used it occasionally to actually snag things. Specifically, a nuclear missile, all of Paradise Island, and a lightning bolt. Wonder Woman (Rebirth): The Rebirth version of Nubia wields the Staff of Understanding. It can be used in its primary spear form and transform into a Blade on a Rope with unlimited range. The Staff also has magical properties similar to the Lasso, as seen in issue #5 of Nubia & the Amazons when it restores Medusa to her human form. |

Spider-Man: Minor foe Mr. Stone has "multi-cannons" that fire explosives, blinding flares, burning flares, sticky immobilizing goop, stun-pods, and more. Likewise, Spidey's clone, the Scarlet Spider, had "webshooters" which were bracer-sized devices that could use Spidey's traditional web fluid in a variety of ways. His favorite (besides the standard strands) was "impact webbing", a small ball that would explode into a gooey mess on impact. And Spidey himself could do that in some video games. |

Super Sentai: Most groups (and, by extension, their Power Rangers counterparts) have laser pistols that become a sword or some other melee weapon for their common sidearm. Standout examples include Gao Silver's Hustler Rod (a sword, rifle and pool cue), Bouken Silver's Saga Sniper (gun, staff and metal detector) and Gokai Silver's Gokai Spear (trident, laser gun and anchor). For some reason, they like giving these kind of weapons to Silver Rangers... Before any of those three, MammothRanger had an axe that turned into a laser cannon (a concept that would be re-used for the U.S. exclusive Titanium Ranger's weapon, and the entire Gingaman team had the Mechanical Blade Kiba (or Transdaggers for Power Rangers Lost Galaxy), which has SIX different modes: fang (its default form, which is used both for one of the team's original finishing moves and for activating and controlling their mecha), short sword, claw, laser crossbow, a pair of daggers and a longbow. Shuriken Sentai Ninninger gives us the Karakuri Shuriken, an oversized shuriken that can transform into a claw, katana or bow. In Power Rangers Operation Overdrive and GoGo Sentai Boukenger, the Rangers have a weapon that can encase enemies in cement, or be reversed to fire a spinning drill head (in the style of Cement Driver and Drill Driver, two Humongous Mecha introduced just before this weapon.) Uchu Sentai Kyuranger takes Kamen Rider Den-O's idea and runs with it: the nine core Kyurangers wield the variable Kyu The Weapon, which consists of three parts (a grip with an extending handle and two blades, one dagger-like and one axe-like) which can be configured into a greatsword, a spear, a claw, a crossbow, a handaxe, a scythe, a rapier, a gun, and a shortsword. Of note is the fact that while everyone has their own weapon, there's nothing stopping them from using another form other than personal preferencenote For example, in his first battle with the team Balance starts off using the Kyu Sword but finds it hard to wield and reconfigures it into the Kyu Crossbow; the Sixth Rangers follow that trope by having their own unique weapons, with the exception of Kotaro, who ends up using the Kyu Spear like his Big Brother Mentor Stinger. |

It's a Humongous Mecha intended to be a Remote Body for a human pilot (until Ghidorah's subconsciousness possesses it), which is armed with multiple rocket launchers, plasma punches, buzzsaw claws, a drill tail, and an all-destroying lazer breath weapon. While Mechagodzilla's primary design purpose is to overpower and kill Godzilla, the art book One Will Fall – The Art of the Ultimate Battle Royale reveals that Apex also intended to use it to enforce a corporate police state on the world afterwards. | |

Obliterators from Warhammer 40,000 can transform their arms into meltaguns, lascannons, and plasma guns amongst others. A slightly more subtle version is the Shot Selector weapon upgrade in Inquisitor and Dark Heresy — it allows a weapon to hold multiple magazines of different types of ammunition, allowing the user to switch between them quickly. Combi-bolters are boltguns with an over/underslung melta, plasma, or flamer attached to them. They only have enough ammunition to fire the secondary weapon oncenote Though this was changed in later editions; they now have the same Bottomless Magazines as the special weapons they're based on. Bolters used by Space Marine Sternguard also count, as they come with various special ammos for different tasksnote again, this was changed in later editions; they now simply have a longer range and better armour penetration, such as taking out heavily armoured targets or negating cover. Also an honorable mention for Ork Big Meks in Dawn of War, whose Power Klaw looks like a lot like a Swiss-Army chainsaw. |

Shadowrun: 1E/2E Street Samurai Catalog. The AUG-CSL Weapon System can be assembled as a submachine gun, carbine, assault rifle or light machine gun. 3E Cannon Companion. The Hecker & Koch G38 can be assembled as a carbine, assault rifle or light machine gun. Converting it from one configuration to another takes 36 seconds and the whole weapon fits inside a large briefcase. 4E has the HK XM30 (based on the XM-29 and the XM8) mentioned under Real Life. Baseline, the XM30 is an assault rifle with an underbarrel grenade launcher. Using different kits, you can modify it to have an underbarrel shotgun, become a carbine rifle, sniper rifle or a light machine gun. |

In Ozzy & Drix, Drix has an Arm Cannon that seems to be equipped with everything. This is lampshaded in one episode where it even has a blender mixer, and Maria asks why a Cold Pill would need that. His response? "You know, sometimes I wonder that myself!" | |

In First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo's knife has a variety of additional functions. In the weapons department, he can tie it to a stick (there are holes in the hilt to thread the cord through) and make a spear. It also has a compass, thread and needle for stitches, fishing hooks for fishing, waterproof matches, and two screwdrivers (which form the hilt). | |

The Witchblade. Usually it was a bracelet. When the wielder needed it to, it would become a dagger, a short sword, a broadsword, a cestus. It could also become a steel gauntlet, a vambrace, or even a whole suit of plate armor when it had to. | |

As Red Robin, Tim modified his Telescoping Staff so that pressing on a discrete panel and twisting causes a blade to extend from one end. He only uses it as a last resort, however, as the entire reason he chose a staff as his weapon of choice was for its non-lethal applications. The staff already had an EMP emitter in it while he was still Robin, but he doesn't use that much since it disables his own tech as well. | |

Judge Dredd has the Lawgiver pistol, with ammunition that can configure itself to the operator's specifications including Armor Piercing, Heat Seeking, and High Explosive as a sample. This leads to the scene where Dredd pulls the trigger on the Big Bad, only for the gun to inform him "lethal rounds exhausted". So he yells "signal flare!" and fires again. | |

High School D×D has Kiba's Sacred Gear, Sword Birth. Apart from the ability to arm himself at a moment's notice, the swords it creates can have whatever properties Kiba wishes to assign to it, as long as those properties would be physically possible. This leads to situations like his light-nullifying sword being broken, only for him to instantly draw one that repels darkness instead. When later events reveal the Magic A Is Magic A of the setting is starting to decay, he starts using it to materialize Holy-Demonic swords, which are impossible to create, but there's no longer a natural law saying they can't exist. With a little boost from Boost from Issei's Amplifier Artifact, Sword Birth also becomes a useful area-of-effect weapon, allowing Kiba to sprout a Field of Blades and skewer anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in it. |

Just like in real life, the Poleaxe hero weapon in Conqueror's Blade combines the best points of multiple other polearms (two-handed axe, billhook, lochaber axe, bec de corbin, etc.) into a single weapon. The class' various moves let you strike with the poleaxe's axe head, top spike, back spike, butt end, shaft, and even the inside curve of the blade. | |

Star Wars Rebels: Ezra's first lightsaber doubles as a blaster. This also has the benefit of making it look somewhat like a blaster, which is useful given the fact that the characters are in hiding. The Lasat bo-rifle can switch between a blaster rifle, an electrostaff, and a third form that somehow allows the user to channel the Force. |

In Digimon Adventure: (2020), WereGarurumon can use his Sagittarius Mode's eight wings as these. By default, they're metal casings that open into Laser Blade wings. They can then be detached and wielded as Morph Weapons, used as extendable Energy Weapons that fire both regular and Homing Lasers, or even ejected as Hard Light Improvised Platforms with new wings forming in the casings. Or they can just be used to fly REALLY fast. | |

Following Secret Wars (2015), Tony Stark altered his armor to essentially combine every single one of his suits and their specialties into one, achieved by Voluntary Shapeshifting. Within the first four issues, it goes completely invisible (making it look like he's not wearing it), develops massive energy weapons and even goes full Hulkbuster. Even Doctor Doom is impressed. | |

From the Star Wars Legends novels featuring the Yuuzhan Vong hails the amphistaff, a serpentine living weapon that can be used as a whip, a sword, a staff, a spear, and can even spit poison/acid. Jacen Solo (who has a Force specialty of talking to animals) was able to wear fifteen or so amphistaffs around him as a suit of armor, swapping them in and out so that they can rest and he can use new ones. |

Many magical weapons in Rifts, such as rune or techno-wizard weapons, can also be used as both ranged weapons and melee, with both also having other features such as deflector shields or poison, and the ability to use spells (rune weapons having a varying amount to cast, while techno-wizard creations usually end up with a specific set which requires the creator's or another techno-wizards' work to upgrade). One example is a sword introduced in Federation of Magic, with massive damage, and the ability to increase it a lot, protection for the user, and the ability to fire charged particle beams. | |

Known functions and tools include shield (of course), a communicator capable of contacting his base from anywhere on Earth or even in orbit, rocket for flying, the Crusher (extendable Power Fist), the Bradionic Paralyzer (suspends the target's subjective time, effectively turning him temporarily into a statue... And harming otherwise invulnerable time-eating creatures), laser beam, the Commutator Gravitational Ray (that alters the gravity of the target, making it float away weightless or crushing it under its own increased weight), hologram projectors, the Holographic Psychocollector (that scans the victim's mind and projects a hologram of their worst fear), the Device 87-Bis (a teleporter beam. It never works), the ability to shoot itself as a boomerang, an additional deployable shield and Deflector Shields' to protect against extremely powerful attacks, and even the ability to turn into a short-ranged minisub. It's implied it has even more'' functions and we were never shown them due Paperinik never having a use for them (he normally sticks to the communicator, the basic shield, the rocket, the Crusher, the Bradionic Paralyzer, the laser, and the ability to shoot the shield). PK has occasionally lampshaded that the user's manual is too thick for him to finish until he's too old to use the damn thing. | |

Uchu Sentai Kyuranger takes Kamen Rider Den-O's idea and runs with it: the nine core Kyurangers wield the variable Kyu The Weapon, which consists of three parts (a grip with an extending handle and two blades, one dagger-like and one axe-like) which can be configured into a greatsword, a spear, a claw, a crossbow, a handaxe, a scythe, a rapier, a gun, and a shortsword. Of note is the fact that while everyone has their own weapon, there's nothing stopping them from using another form other than personal preferencenote For example, in his first battle with the team Balance starts off using the Kyu Sword but finds it hard to wield and reconfigures it into the Kyu Crossbow; the Sixth Rangers follow that trope by having their own unique weapons, with the exception of Kotaro, who ends up using the Kyu Spear like his Big Brother Mentor Stinger. | |

Kev from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues can not only summon any weapon that he wants, but he can change what effect they have. For example, he's summoned one gun that silenced the object that it hit, and a sniper rifle that teleported its holder to the area that its bullet hit. | |

Yuuki Terumi lampshades the ubiquity of this trope throughout the world of Remnant in BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant, saying he misses the good 'ol days when weapons either cut you from up close or pierced you from afar, rather than near every melee weapon having a ranged mode. | |

Altair and Vega are his guns that take on multiple forms, like a sonic cannon, realistic stun gun, emp, and wire cutters. In addition, all three combine to form a Kill Sat. | |

Psycho-Pass gives us the weapon of choice for both the Enforcers and Inspectors alike: The Dominator. This shapeshifting hand-cannon has three forms it can take, depending on the current target's threat-level, as determined by the Sybil System: Non-Lethal Paralyser, which is essentially a glorified taser; Lethal Eliminator, which causes the target's body to bubble and expand grotesquely where they were hit, and then explode; and Destroy Decomposer, which is used to take down heavily armored opponents- like androids- or create entry points by way of a massive blast of energy. | |

Tomica Hero Rescue Force has the Rescue Breakers, which are a combination of a rope, an axe, a pickaxe, a hammer, a drill, an analyzer-camera thingy, and a grappling hand, as well as the Rescue Crusher, which has a chainsaw, drill (again), and water cannon modes. And then we get into the Max Divider, which is comprised of a circular saw, a sword, and another drill. The spinoff Rescue Fire has the Tri-Basher which has Gun, Sword and extinguisher modes. |

While more of a weapon system than a weapon, the Mobile Infantry's powered armor from Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers probably applies. The narrator describes his suit as coming with a flamethrower with multiple settings, a rocket launcher with multiple forms of warhead (including peewee nukes), a wide variety of high-explosive bombs/grenades, and presumably some sort of standard bullet-firing weapon, though he never explicitly uses one at all during the same mission. Not to mention that little experimental toy. "I'm a thirty-second bomb! I'm a thirty-second bomb! Twenty-nine!... Twenty-eight!..." | |
