Weapons are designed to hurt. Their names, however, may not reflect this. The goal of the 'defending' faction in most wars is to defeat the enemy and achieve peace and, as a result, a weapon may be named for its supposed purpose of achieving peace. 'Peacemaker' seems to be a popular choice. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Usually played straight, although a satirical work might play this trope for laughs (in which case the chances are high that someone will crack a "peace through superior firepower" joke). Compare I Call It "Vera". Usually a Weapon for Intimidation, though with a possibly more family-friendly name. Examples |

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising: The Pretentious Latin Motto of the game (and of the Antaeus and its crew) is Pugio in Averso Belli; "A Dagger Against War". The Antaeus is the last Creation Engine-carrying warship on Earth, and in the story it's being used to put down a band of Evil Reactionaries who want to resurrect the military-industrial complex. | |

Detritus of Discworld has a one-man siege crossbow he calls 'the Piecemaker'. The spelling is intentional, since the arrows shatter into a cloud of burning splinters on firing. Presumably, moments after, so does the target... ... and the door in front of the target. And maybe the wall behind the target too... |

Some of the Advent ships in Sins of a Solar Empire have peaceful, religious names. For example, the Illuminator Vessel "illuminates" others by hitting them with bright long-range energy beams. Then there's their powerful capital ships with names like Radiance, Rapture, Revelation, and Halcyon (a mythical bird said to calm waves). | |

The biggest, baddest gun in Jak II: Renegade is named 'Peacemaker'. It can be taken literally; while the other three guns require quite some skill to be effective, you just point it in the general direction of an enemy and pull the trigger. One of the strategy guides lampshades this, noting that "Piece Maker" would be a more appropriate name. | |

Exalted has several: The Realm Defense Grid is the main protective measure Creation has against the forces of the Wyld. In the First Age, it was known as the Sword of Creation, capable of redirecting elemental Essence from the entire world to nuke entire legions five times over — but the Scarlet Empress, who now is the only one with access, didn't want her subject nations to feel so threatened by her world-sized cataclysmic superweapon. Well, you know, it's a defensive measure; it just happens to have a bit of kill-everything-in-this-subcontinent applications. Octavian, one of the Demon Lords and Archdevils of the setting, has a giant club called Equitable Resolution. Given Octavian's brutal, tyrannical personality, the name is clearly ironic. |

Lampshaded in Ratchet: Deadlocked with the Arbiter, so named because Ace Hardlight used it to settle a legal dispute. When upgraded, it becomes the Silencer. The Future trilogy brings us fellow rocket-launcher the Negotiator and its upgrade the Judicator. |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, this appears to be ZAFT's rationale behind the names of the Freedom, Justice, and Providence Gundams. The former two get used by the heroes, the latter is used by the Omnicidal Maniac. | |

In Known Space, the "Wunderland Treatymaker" was a huge Death Star-like disintegrator weapon that razed a Mars-like planet's surface to the point where they had to rename the planet Canyon.note Said "Canyon" is as long and wide as the Baja Peninsula and twelve miles deep - and it turns out that a Mars-type atmosphere is Earthlike if it all falls into a Baja-sized canyon... and Earthlike planets are rare in Known Space, so humans promptly moved in. The Kzinti soon surrendered after it was deployed, so it lived up to its name. | |

Both PlanetSide games have the Liberator; in the first game, it's a high altitude bomber capable of dropping cluster bombs or tank busters. In the second, it's a gunship with a quad Gatling gun turret on the belly that can be swapped out for different cannons. The Terran Republic MAX exo-suit can use the Mercy arm-mounted mini gun, and completing the TR's Assault Rifle Directive grants access to the T1A Unity assault rifle, "a key weapon attributed to helping bring Earth together under the Terran Republic's harmonious rule." | |

In Atlas Shrugged, there is a weapon of mass destruction that uses sound waves to disintegrate anything. While it is still an unfinished secret project, it goes by the more sinister name of "Project X," but the finished product, which is known to the public, it is called "The Thompson Harmonizer," apparently a reference to its alleged goal of keeping society "harmonious" by intimidating those who disagree with the government. Although, the title may also be implying how the device operates by referencing the weaponization of harmonic frequencies. |

In Supreme Commander, one of the Cybran weapons is named Liberator. It's a strategic missile launcher. Many of the Aeon weapons have nice, peaceable seeming names, like the Mercy guided missile and the (actually purely defensive) Asylum shield vehicle. |
