Musical assassins are hitmen with style. Who needs guns when you can lay waste to your enemies with a carefully-calculated concerto? Techniques start out at “Brown Notes” and only get more ridiculous from there. These assassins are especially popular in old Chinese martial arts movies. Advantages of such a combat style include invisible attacks that move at the speed of sound (Duh) which makes it difficult to be blocked by conventional methods like other weaponry. However, this is normally traded off with a high required skill level, especially when it comes to aiming sound waves. And why stop at “Professional Killers”? Video games, for one, are rather fond of improbable music-powered weaponry. Note that weapons (like guns) merely disguised as instruments don’t count; that’s cheating. Neither do instruments that double as weapons or weapons used as instruments… Compare “Magic Music”, “Disco Tech”, “The Power of Rock”, “Gale-Force Sound”, “Make Some Noise”, and “Super-Scream”… ~ Musical Assassin – TV Tropes
