Sometimes, the best weapon you could possibly use isn't the one you hold, it's the one you ride around in. Which kind of makes sense, considering that getting hit by at least a metric ton of metal moving at several kilometers per hour is bound to be painful. |

* In ''Riding Bean'', the effective [[Pilot Episode]] for ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'', Bean Bandit gets a security guard who [[Berserk Button|calls his car a piece of shit]] by pinning him to a tree with his front tire, nearly running him over up the trunk, then using the tire to ''scrape him off the trunk and over the car''. If you're wondering how the hell Bean can do that, keep in mind his car is ''[[Cool Car|absurdly]]'' modified, and built that he can turn the wheels 90 degrees and drive that way. |

** Subverted later in the OAV where the [[Big Bad]] tries to ram an on-foot Bean with her car. What does Bean do? He ''shoulder-checks it head-on and lifts it right off its front wheels''! Did we mention that Bean is ''[[Made of Iron|REEEEALLY]]'' [[Made of Iron|tough?]] |

* Done very humorously in the end of ''[[Baccano]]'' where Isaac and Miria are [[Drives Like Crazy|driving like crazy]] and take the time to purposely run down Dallas Genoard and his gang, people who were threatening their friends. They also accidentally run down Szilard, who is pretty much the [[Big Bad]] of the show. |

** If you're really good, you can also kill people by landing on them with starfighters. This is the only consistent method of killing hero characters in ''Battlefront 1'' along with running them down with Speeder Bikes. The ''other'' consistent methiod is using a vehicle to drive them into envirnmental death traps, though bombs still work for that, it's just much easier with a vehicles. |

** Not something one can do in gameplay, but Raiden gets caught at the end of act 2 in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots|MGS4]]'' by the manipulator cords of two of the Gekko mini-metal gears. He proceeds to spin around like a breakdancer and use the 5ton machines as a pair of flails. With his feet. A hugely immersion-breaking [[Wizard Did It|CyberNanobotsDidIt]] moment. |
