Weapon for Intimidation	comment	Not everyone who carries a weapon actually uses it. Sometimes it's best to have something to make you look intimidating, be it a large staff or a gun. It might actually be completely useless (such as an unloaded gun or even a toy gun). Other times it's just not needed all that much, but when you need it, it'll get the job done. May lead to an unfortunate demise through the Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet! trope, because the police and military aren't going to put their guns down and negotiate and are trained to blow you away as soon as possible. Also doesn't work on people very intent on taking your stuff, nor on people who are more well-armed than you are. Subtrope of Useless Accessory. The Sword of Damocles is an upscaled version of this trope; a weapon so fearsome it brings nations or worlds to their knees in fear of it. If you don't even have a fake weapon but wish to achieve the same effect, that's a Brandishment Bluff. Compare It Works Better with Bullets, where the shooter has no idea the weapon is unloaded at the time they try to use it for intimidation, and Intimidation Demonstration, which is a more general, often weaponless version. See Only a Lighter for cases where a gun turns out to be a novelty lighter.

If you point your gun at a group of enemies for too long without firing it, some of them will begin to suspect that your gun is actually empty and try to bum-rush you, a similar thing will happen if you accidentally press the trigger and the gun makes the empty "click".

Unfortunately, about 2/3 of the way through the movie, one gun gets caught in a door, shatters, and starts leaking in front of the surrounding police and throngs of onlookers; turns out the whole time they were realistic motorized squirt guns. Fortunately for them, an inept side character who thought he was being a hero also chose that moment to burst through a ceiling vent, drop the ACTUAL automatic pistol he had been directed to inside the building, and the predictable hail of bullets convinced the cops that only one of the guns was fake.

In the first episode, he mentions that it's just for intimidation of anyone who'd start trouble at his pub. We soon find out that he is a certifiable badass even with just that little nub of a sword. We find out at the end of Season 1 that the true purpose of his blade is that the hilt is the key for the Sealed Evil in a Can. He's there to protect the sword, not the other way around.

To Skimmer's puzzled "Uh, yeah, it's a weapon," Vimes responds that weapons are for displaying, so attackers know what they're heading into (like dwarves and their ubiquitous battle-axe). The spring crossbow, on the other hand, is for killing people who aren't expecting it. Invoked in Monstrous Regiment where vampire Maladict carries a sword to keep people from attacking him. He doesn't know how to use it, of course, as his vampiric abilities ensure he doesn't need to, but "sword" proves a better shorthand for "not someone you should attack." When questioned about what he'd do if someone called his bluff, since he doesn't know how to use the sword, he remarks that he'd probably just rip their throat out. The Patrician may or may not have a Sword Cane. He lets people spread rumors about it as a tactic of intimidation although in Jingo Colon reflects that it's just as scary that nobody can remember seeing him wield any weapon. Whenever the audience sees him fight he favors a stiletto. In Making Money, Cosmo has his assistant bring him Vetinari's Sword Cane. The assistant, who would very much prefer staying alive, instead "spent a few hours with a brass brush and some chemicals to create a weapon that looked as if it would jump for your throat of its own accord." Vetinari is unimpressed on seeing it. And then, of course, there's the troll Detritus's "Piecemaker", a converted siege crossbow. It's designed to fire bundles of arrows held together by string that are meant to separate in flight; in practice, it fires an expanding cloud of burning splinters. It's generally used as a threat, as opposed to actually being fired: if it were used, no pieces of the target would likely be recoverable, and Vimes likes to have something for the judicial system to process. It has, however, been used to demolish more reasonable targets, like buildings. Subverted very forcefully by Vimes in Night Watch. Citizens are rioting and attacking Watch houses, the Watchmen at the Treacle Mine Road house are nervous, and Vimes tells them to put their swords away so as not to provoke the mob any further:

Weapon for Intimidation / int_5c897f4a	comment	Sergeant Schlock of Schlock Mercenary favors an impressively large plasgun which powers up with an ommmmmminous hummmmmmmm and a glowing barrel. It is quite dangerous but its ominous hum is the most important feature. When he goes in to get a new one, he discovers that improvements in technology have led to it being replaced with a small, silent, and more powerful model. He rejects it because it is small and doesn't hum. He storms out, appalled, as the salesman desperately calls after him, claiming that they can give it an impressively large cosmetic casing and a speaker to simulate the hummmmmmm. As Schlock is a mercenary, intimidation is part and parcel of the trade. The hum is a proven deterrent, and the glow of doom from the barrel is nothing to sneeze at, either. It's like selling an intimidating Hand Cannon without a hammer to Cock Dramatically or a Laser Sight to show someone exactly which part of their body it will blow off. He does have one gun - well, two guns - that he made smaller than normal, a pair of multicannons that he chopped the barrels off of shortly after the above incident. In their case, they're more intimidating in that smaller size - because the part of the barrel he chopped off houses several critical components to their proper function, and without them, they're now "a menace to anything standing within a hundred meters of you". Just a quick glance at them is enough to convince Tagon to immediately find cover and demand someone make him a new, less dangerous plasgun. (it helps that Tagon is his commanding officer, and is expected to know what the equipment is supposed to do when working properly.)

The gun he has is very real (and he fires one round off to the side to prove it), but Harvey is still pre-Faceâ€“Heel Turn and doesn't have any real intention of shooting anyone yet. He needs to get information from a mook, though, and he keeps flipping a coin to decide the mook's fate, with tails meaning that he shoots him. Of course, the coin is still a double-headed one at this point, so only Harvey knows that he'll never have to actually shoot the mook.

Weapon for Intimidation / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: The Jaffa staff weapon is explicitly described as this: their primary purpose is to intimidate the low-tech slave populations and fight equally armed warriors of rival Goa'uld. In the hands of a trained Jaffa warrior, as Teal'c repeatedly demonstrates, staffs are lethal weapons both ranged and melee. However, it doesn't even have sights, so aiming has to be purely instinctual; it takes a lifetime of training to shoot a staff weapon with the accuracy that an Earth soldier right out of boot camp can achieve with his rifle. Colonel O'Neill calls them out as weapons of terror and intimidation when demonstrating the efficiency of the team's P90 to a group of rebel Jaffa. Like the atomic bomb in Real Life, the Kelownans developed the naquadriah bomb in an attempt to scare the other nations on their planet into avoiding war. O'Neill naturally points out that, just like on Earth, it only makes a good threat if you're willing to prove it works as advertised. When they finally do use it, it nearly blows the entire planet to smithereens — both from the initial blast and the aftereffects — and all three nations go to the peace table real fast.

The machine isn't actually unbeatable in the game, being primarily a slow short-range fighter with somewhat limited ammunition stores; but it's still one of the heaviest 'Mechs ever built and a tough nut to crack, and you definitely don't want to be caught in front of it if it ever does manage to close the distance...and whenever one shows up on the field in the associated fiction, even other MechWarriors generally take notice, as its armor and short-range damage potential are one of the highest possible with 3025-era technology. Its Dark Age successor, the Atlas III, can use the optional "Design Quirks" rules to have the "Distracting" trait which has negative morale effects on enemies due to its intimidating appearance. The effect is given a shout-out in the long-defunct trading card game with the card "Intimidating Paint Job", which grants a 'Mech of 80 tons or heavier that's equipped with it the ability to reduce the attack value of every opposing unit it encounters in battle by 1.

Early in the story, when a Mook pulls a gun on Shanks to threaten him, Shanks responds that "guns aren't for threats; they're for actions." This is immediately followed by one of Shanks' crew members shooting the mook in the head. In the 3D2Y movie, this was the original purpose behind Byrndi World's island-destroying cannon that he mounted on his ship. He hoped that a strong weapon would help scare off potential foes, allowing his crew to sail the high seas in freedom. However, after he was captured, supposedly betrayed by his brother, and spent 30 years in Impel Down (which only felt like a few moments due to being a Human Popsicle, so the "betrayal" felt fresh on his mind after he got out), Motive Decay set in, and he decided to use it as a weapon of mass destruction to destroy Mariejoia.

Aircraft designed for long-range aerial warfare such as the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-22 Raptor, Mig-31 Foxhound, and Su-27 Flanker are particularly good at this tactic as their long-range radars and missiles will pretty much ensure that anyone not welcome will get the message loud and clear when the lock-on tone blares in their headsets. After all, absolutely no one wants to have a missile get rammed down their cockpits or tailpipes. Something all of the mentioned aircraft are VERY good at doing. The Swedish Air Force crossed this with a bit of Friendly Rivalry and I Can See You by getting the only known radar lock on SR-71 Blackbirds. On multiple occasions. Their navy's also forwarded pictures taken by submarines from inside allied carrier groups without being detected.

Weapon for Intimidation / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Titans are said in the fluff to be designed so their mere presence can rout armies. The largest ones, the Imperator class, are so big that someone jokingly "fielded" one in a tabletop game by making a cardboard costume and standing on the table over the roughly 1-inch models and kicking them all overnote Which isn't even that much of an exaggeration - someone built an actual to-scale Imperator model based on the standard that a Space Marine figurine is 28mm, and the model ended up being five feet tall. That said, Imperators have enough firepower to level cities as collateral damage, and even the smaller Warhounds and their ilk will trash a decently sized force. It doesn't always work, though: in the Taros Campaign supplement, the Tau saw them as a ludicrous waste of resources and killed the first ones deployed against them so easily with aircraft that the rest retreated. If one could consider Imperium Assassins to be Human Weapons, then Eversor Assassins are this. While the others are usually deployed for subtle work, Eversors are the complete opposite of subtle: Their expertise is Conspicuously Public Assassinations where the target and everyone even vaguely close to it are all smeared across the ground in the most brutal and visible way possible, and where any and all witnesses will become targets until the Eversor's handlers arrive. When the Inquisitors want to make a really public example of someone, they send an Eversor.

In a lecture on BLUE HADES, it's mentioned that you Do Not Taunt Cthulhu because the ancient species that lives in the deep oceans can trigger undersea landslides resulting in a super-tsunami that would wipe out most of humanity. And that's just for starters, as it's speculated that this is just a threat the Deep Ones use like the bayonet on a rifle pointed at a savage tribesman; something we can comprehend in an Outside-Context Problem.

They secretly ran out of bullets four years ago putting down the last rebellion, and can only use their guns for intimidation or as clubs. When Curtis realises this, he grabs a guard's gun, holds it to his head, and pulls the trigger to demonstrate that it's harmless, and the guards are quickly overpowered. It turns out they have boatloads of bullets; they were just giving the rebels an easy first win to lead them into a trap.

Weapon for Intimidation / int_d4222dba	comment	In The Batman (2022), the Batmobile verges on this. It's ludicrously fast and tough, and its aggressive profile looks downright predatory in the dark even without the orange glow from the hood intake or the ungodly shriek from the rear-mounted jet engine, but it really isn't all that practical. It handles terribly, its bulk puts it at a disadvantage in tight quarters and in congestion, it has no offensive capabilities save for a heavily reinforced bumper, and while it can definitely take a beating, it is still noticeably worse for wear after the highway chase. Bruce clearly designed it more to terrify lone targets than he did for it to actually be of consistent use, and his main showing with it emphasizes that: he spends almost a minute priming the rear engine with the car parked in a back corner, illuminated only by the hood intake and the glow from the exhaust of the rear engine while everyone stands transfixed by the rear engine's screeching, and then deliberately stalls the engine as a threat to Cobblepot once he starts running to his car to book it.

Ammo is nastily scarce (and in DayZ, firing a gun attracts zombies to such an extent that one notable rifle is nicknamed the "Dinner Bell"), but guns are an enormous combat advantage over the nothing a starting character may have, so player killers often won't take the chance. Unless you let somebody see your gun when they can get the drop on you, that is... Then it's a giant "KILL ME AND LOOT MY BODY" sign.

Being a fully Three Laws-Compliant robot, he wouldn't have it any other way; if he had a weapon that could be used, it would be possible for him to harm or even kill a human being by accident, which he finds a disturbing idea. He also points out that being equipped with a dummy weapon is perfectly logical on other grounds: to fail to carry a weapon would reveal that he is not the human police officer he is masquerading as, and since humans from the Cities are extremely conditioned towards accepting orders from authority, it is inconceivable that his bluff could be called.

As the name of the game suggests, it's far more effective for just holding mooks at gunpoint. Though unless you have killed (not necessarily by gunshot, mind) the Final Boss will call your bluff if you attempt to stick him up.
