Characters Named After the Weapon They Wield

by franzlska

Exactly what it says. No technicalities like "Swordsman", "Darkknife", or "Sniper Wolf". Nor am I looking for characters who are technically their own weapon, unless its following the rest of a trend.

I am only here for characters with names like "Gun" and "Katana".

The goofier the implementation the better.
