The Young Gun is the Western equivalent of the Kid Samurai or Ninja Brat: a younger, less-awesome version of The Gunslinger, looking to make a name for himself. Expect him to be hot-headed and impetuous. He will probably attach himself to an older, more experienced character, looking up to him as a mentor figure, only to be told that this is no kind of life for anyone and that he should get out while he still can. The Young Gun differs from his counterpart The Gunfighter Wannabe in that he actually has what it takes to be a gunslinger, but just needs a little training/experience/maturity in order to get up to speed. The Gunfighter Wannabe, by contrast, lacks the talent or temperament to make it as a gunslinger and his attempt to try to make a name for himself despite the warnings of his elders generally doesn't end well. Outside the realm of Westerns, this trope all too often overlaps with Child Soldier. |

Colorado Ryan (Ricky Nelson) from Rio Bravo. A slight subversion in that Wayne says about him: "It's nice to see a smart kid for a change." and Stumpy agrees. "Yeah, he's not like the usual kid with a gun." | |

Gordito in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja subverts or parodies this trope, being very capable and badass as the Kid Sidekick to a ninja-doctor and occasionally fighting alongside said doctor's Crazy-Prepared ninja family. He pulls off things like picking off each and every member of a SkyPirate crew one by one when the McNinjas accidentally forget and leave him behind during a mission. He flies the ship back to base on his own, arriving just as the realize they forgot him. |

Doraemon (yeah): This is, out of all people in the world, Nobita whenever the cast travel to a Western-y age/planet/dimension/whatever. Boy might be a total loser in other aspects of life, but when the plot requires that someone be shot, he does the shooting competently. Best exemplified in Doraemon: Nobita and the Galaxy Super-express when the gang travels to a Planet of Cowboys, and must compete in a shooting match firing a loaded six-shooter at six targets. The best record so far is five out of six - Nobita fires six times, hits one can among the targets, and shows the judge (who just disqualified Nobita) the can he shot at contains six holes and six spent bullets. | |

Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part III. Marty impresses the gun salesman with his video game-honed marksmanship skills and is given a free gun in preparation for his duel with Mad Dog Tannen (with the catch being he'll take it back if/when Marty loses). After playing around with it (even wearing it in public), Marty makes a point of discarding the gun when confronting Mad Dog on Monday. After all, he has the improvised bulletproof vest. Afterwards he gives it to Seamus, who plans to pawn it for another hat. | |
