An ineffectual character shows up with an ineffectual "weapon", usually something that's not a weapon at all. Har har har! He's without a chance— wait a minute, turns out that this weapon is really dangerous! Related to Improbable Weapon User and Improvised Weapon. Sometimes used as an end to an apparent Brandishment Bluff. Can be done with a Finger Gun, especially if the user has Finger Firearms. Compare Happy Fun Ball, Lethal Joke Item, Nerf Arm, Hidden Weapons and Shoe Phone. Supertrope to Sword Cane (hiding a sword in a seemingly normal stick), Senseless Violins (hiding weapons in seemingly innocuous instrument case) and Instrument of Murder (hiding weapons in instruments that are activated when it's played). Can overlap with Edible Bludgeon if an actual banana or other food is used. Has nothing to do with talking bananas that have arms. That's Anthropomorphic Food. |

Stardestroyer Dot Net theorizes that the phaser in Star Trek: The Next Generation was originally designed as one of these, to explain why it looks so unwieldy - Starfleet officers are expected to fill diplomatic roles, and they could pass the phaser off as a scanner or a shaver if it was discovered, and are well-trained enough to still hit with a badly-designed weapon. | |

A very literal case in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — one of the new items introduced in the game is the Banana Gun. It's literally just a banana that the character holds like a gun. The flesh of the banana is fired as a slow-moving but powerful explosive projectile and the leftover peel can be used exactly how you'd expect. Also subverted, in that now some of the characters hold banana peels in a way that makes them look like banana guns. | |

Demonstrated in the Agent Sophie sketch in Horrible Histories. The titular character warns her french contact to be careful with what appears to be a bottle of wine. It's actually a bomb to be used if she's ever trapped by Nazis. She even mentions making landmines look like cowpats. However this doesn't extend to the one her contact is holding. | |

Often used in Looney Tunes shorts. "The Unmentionables": Bugs Bunny threatens mobster Rocky with a carrot. Rocky laughs it off, until the carrot fires in his face. Unfortunately, it won't fire again. In another one, Bug threatens Blacque Jacque Shellacque with a pop gun. The outlaw laughs, and pulls the cork from it, only to have it explode in his face. "Drip-Along Daffy": Nasty Canasta is felled by a tiny wind-up soldier… whose rifle packs a mighty wallop. |

The Dresden Files: Harry expands a bit on his past in Ghost Story. Part of this past included knocking over a gas station when he was sixteen. Present-day Harry can use magic to make bolts of pure kinetic energy with his spell "Forzare". What was clearly the prequel to that spell was Harry sticking his hand in a bag and yelling "BANG!" to use the spell, and intimidate the store clerk. | |

Subverted (or something) in the Discworld novel Sourcery. Rincewind is desparate enough to attack Living God and Reality Warper Coin with… a half-brick in a sock. Coin initially assumes it's some item of power he hasn't heard of; his next guess is this trope. It isn't either, but Coin is so fascinated by the concept (half-bricks in socks don't ever really occur to you when you have limitless magic at your disposal) that he spares Rincewind, so the ineffectual weapon got the job done regardless. | |

After a moment of nervousness, Drakken decides that they're bluffing, because such a device is much too large for two kids to carry.

The Eto and Zodiac guns from Et Cetera look like toy guns with their odd shaped cylinders, can not fire proper bullets, and only elicit scorn and derision when their wielders try to point them at their enemies. If used correctly, fired while in contact with something related to one of the animals of their respective zodiacs, they can be very destructive, and are considered two of the strongest guns in existence. | |

Get Smart: Maxwell Smart had a .22 calibre Finger Gun. Fires two shots. Inverted when KAOS abducts Smart, with his escaping being part of their plan. At one point Smart raises a finger to a KAOS guy who throws up his hands, as if Smart had a finger gun. Smart insists it's just a finger and shows the KAOS guy, who gives up and leaves. Alone in his cell, Smart mutters to himself "Come on, Smart. Use that fantastic brain of yours!" Subverted in the episode "Age Before Duty" when Max and the Chief, infiltrating the enemy base in disguise as janitors, threaten the enemy KAOS agents with what they claim is a bazooka broom (which can not only fire a bazooka shell, but let you sweep up the mess afterwards). When the agents refuse to take them seriously, the Chief tells Max to let them have it, only for Max to be unable to find a trigger and realise he'd accidentally taken a real broom instead. As well as leaving them defenceless, Max also has the realisation that he's left Doc Simon back at the lab unknowingly sweeping the floor with a bazooka. |

Literal example in one Super Friends episode, where the Hall of Justice was invaded by some nasty members of Gleek's species who used Ray Guns shaped like bananas. The funniest part of the episode came at the end after the villains were apprehended, when Gleek tried to eat one - with rather explosive results. | |

Plants vs. Zombies is based on the premise that you defend your home during a Zombie Apocalypse with assorted vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and other plants that can do massive damage to endless hordes of invading zombies. The sequel introduces Banana Launcher, who acts like a SCUD missile system, which means there is now a literal armed banana. | |

The Orks in Warhammer 40,000 are so latently psychic that anything they believe should behave like a gun, will. Just about the only limit to this power is handing them a literal banana and telling them it's a real sneaky shoota. But trust us, hand them a box of broken gun parts and a welding torch, and they will find a way to make bullets come out of that banana. From where is anyone's guess. | |

The Heavy in Team Fortress 2 has a taunt where he points a Finger Gun and "fires" it at someone. If you happen to be in its line of fire, it's a one-hit kill. | |

Doctor Who: "Pssh, what could a screwdriver do?" is a pretty common reaction at first. But did we mention it's sonic? "The End of the World": After the Doctor exposes Lady Cassandra as the villain, she has her assistants point the misters they've been using to moisturize her at him. It turns out they can spray acid as well. |

Inverted in a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch with a police sergeant teaching his charges how to defend themselves against anyone armed with fresh fruit. He uses a gun, a 16-ton weight, a tiger, and an entire building loaded with gelignite. Nothing but his insane rambling indicates the fruit was actually a dangerous weapon. | |

Dancing Aztecs: Invoked and subverted. Frank and Floyd escape from Bad Death Jonesburg by convincing him that their pencil flashlight is actually a cleverly disguised gun. Because Bad Death thinks their Federal Agents, and is a fan of the kinds of movies were federal agents use those kind of weapons, it works. | |

In American McGee's Alice, the Blunderbuss (the most powerful weapon in the game) hardly looks formidable. It's an old gun made of wood and brass, and while large, requiring Alice to use both hands, the general trigger area is quite petite and thin; however, as it goes further up, the gun's barrel is extremely crooked, and the muzzle fans out to a flared muzzle. Still, when she actually fires it, watch out. There'll be nothing left of whatever enemies she's pointing at but bloody gibbets. | |

In SoulCalibur Ghost Pirate Cervantes normally dual wields swords, one of which has a pistol built into the hilt. His Nerf Arm is a pair of wooden toy swords... which can still somehow fire bullets despite visibly lacking the pistol. | |

In the Worms games (especially the ones from Armageddon onward), the sillier a weapon is, the more dangerous it is. Sheep, bananas, and little old ladies can and will explode violently. And let's not get started on the Concrete Donkey, which plows its way through the entire stage when dropped and is guaranteed to kill any worms it falls on. | |

In the TimeSplitters series, there is a tendency to give the player a massive abundance of powerful weapons from destructive to plain Game-Breaker and BFG, however in every installment they include the weapon "Brick", which may sound stupid at first, but tends to be more of a Lethal Joke Item. Bricks can be thrown as fast as you can pull the trigger, they do acceptable damage, and they have pretty good range and consistent accuracy. Best of all, they ricochet with full force, so if it hits someone and bounces off into a wall, it could bounce back into them and repeat until the target is dead. | |

Star Wars Legends: Corran Horn disguises a lightsaber as junk a couple of times. X-Wing: The Bacta War: Corran tack-welds the business end of a hydrospanner (a kind of hand tool) to the emitter end of his grandfather Nejaa Halcyon's lightsaber (recovered in the previous book from one of Emperor Palpatine's trophy rooms). This lets him conceal the weapon on him but easily make it usable again with a hard smack against the ground. I, Jedi: When Corran, undercover in a Space Pirate gang, goes to build a lightsaber of his own, he builds the mechanism into a handlebar from a wrecked speeder bike, liberated from one of the local Bad Guy Bars. He later ends up having to get home naked due to a misadventure, and the gang boss assumes he was driving drunk and wrecked his bike. |

Arknights: The furniture set Sarkaz Mercenary Lounge has explosives hidden under one of the floor tiles, some "not so discreet secret" in the light fixture, and even the light bulbs can be used as makeshift grenades. W's skin changes the trip mines of her second skill into explosive hot potatoes. Cantabile hides blades inside her musical instruments. |

In an episode of Filmation's Ghostbusters, the heroes have to get past Fangster and Long John, who are guarding a room. Tracy takes out a cute wind-up toy tank and sets it towards the two henchmen. They look at it, and then burst out laughing... Then it fires a freeze ray, freezing them sold. (Unfortunately, it only freezes them for seven seconds, so the heroes have to run past them quickly.) | |

The New World of Darkness supplement Armory provides weapons stats for common, everyday tools. More than one cocky player has met their end because they didn't believe that a sufficiently skilled combatant with a screwdriver could be any harm. Using the first level of the Improvised Weapon Fighting Style in odd places can lead to some of this. |
