* In ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'', Saya managed to master a technique called the "Reflect Shot" after five years of practice. The technique is pretty much [[Pinball Projectile|ricocheting bullets]] to hit the opponent. Train eventually decides to learn the technique too, and uses it a couple times.

* The impressive amount of laws of physics broken in ''[[Grenadier]]'' somehow manages to make allowing a normal single shot revolver to shoot all six bullets at once seem plausible. And if you think that was bad, the main character also fires a single bullet at a deluge of [[Gatling Good|Gatling gun]] bullets, manages to hit one of the bullets dead on with her own bullet so that it splits in half, and the halves both hit other bullets, splitting them in half, which then ricochet and split other bullets in half...it results in this becoming a chain of exploding bullets all the way up into the Gatling gun and causing it to explode. [[Rule of Cool|Chaos-Theory be damned.]]

** Hol Horse's [[Psychic Powers|Stand]], The Emperor, was a six-gun ''and'' its bullets, so he could control them. Once he even curved a bullet neatly around a sword, which would have blocked it otherwise.

** Guido Mista's Sex Pistols are ''six small intelligent and talking dwarves that ride the bullets and can kick them to change their trajectory''. Freaking hilarious but also fearful.

*** Except the bullets are shown doing so nearly immediately after being fired, plus, bullets actually doing this would be so inaccurate that it's not even funny.

*** Except you later find out that the Boss personally had the Patriot customized from an M16 rifle by cutting it's barrel short and other things, turning it into an inaccurate but powerful gun. This [[Fridge Brilliance|shows]] just how badass the Boss is by being able to hit really accurately with a gun like that [[Firing One-Handed|(One handed no less)]]

*** That's not improbable ballistics at work. The bullets curve around her because she is protected by an electromagnetic barrier doodad.

* Similar to the ''World of Warcraft'' example above, the blaster shots in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' curve if you try and run around the battlefield. Especially noticeable if the player is a Jedi Guardian, and has the leaping attack ability.
