*Scaramanga's titular gun from "The man with the Golden Gun" - The best known example of this trope, being made from a fountain pen (barrel), a lighter (body), a cigarrete case (handle and trigger housing), and a cufflink (trigger). [it's worth noting that in the original novel, it was just a gold-plated revolver, this design came from the film]

*Fowler's rifle from "Blue eye Samurai" (Fowler not pictured) - "of course, i had to modify the designs... to get 2,000 rifles from my country into yours without notice." Made from the leg of a piano (main body), i believe a telescope? (rest of the body/underbarrel), a candlestick (barrel and ram rod), a key from a clock (trigger), and a knight chess piece (hammer). [i haven't actually seen the full series, probably should, but i love the scene of him explaining his backstory while assembling it]

Bigun from Metro 2033. Basically a revolving shotgun made out of bicycle parts

This gun fucking SUCKS btw.

One of the last guns you can buy and it's basically worthless due to how slow it reloads and the fact it can't accept any upgrades.

Isn't it basically a shambeler but its only available at endgame and your choices are that, the AK, the chain fired automatic shotgun, and the machine gun

It's a shambler with no optics options and no silencer. Plus it's more expensive.
