* There was an entire [[X BoxXbox]] 360 commercial built around this trope, with people in a crowded city (and finger-pistols instead of actual firearms); while the commercial never aired on television, it can be viewed on the Internet.
 
 
Line 31:
* ''[[Baccano]]!'' executes a textbook version of this (as seen in the page image) when [[The Mafia|Luck Gandor]] finds [[Jerkass|Dallas]] attempting to kill his best friend, Firo.
* In the [[Lupin III]] movie ''Dead or Alive'', Lupin and co manage to kidnap a princess, who's actually a government agent in disguise. Lupin discovers this when he's interruped mid-sentence by a pistol pressing into the back of his head.
* Sōsuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!'' has a habit of doing this to people. ''Especially'' people whom he randomly deems as being "suspicious".
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' has a variant of this. Ritsuko is about to show Rei's origins to Shinji but the door rejects her card. Then Misato [[Stealth Hi Bye|remarks]] from behind a gun that it won't open without her code. She did the same with Kaji when he was about to enter Lilith's chamber.
** ''End of Evangelion'' had one as well: after installing the Type-666 firewall, the next time we see Ritsuko she's sitting next to Lilith, in plain sight. Then she stands up, calmly turns around, pulls a gun and aims at Gendo. Instead of cocking it however, she merely takes off the safety. Subverted because she had no intention of shooting, what with her having the MAGI's self-destruct button in her other hand.<ref>And then played straight as it turns out said button was overriden by CASPAR.</ref>
