Line 22:

* Played with in a recent ad that has the police take cover behind their squad doors (as noted above, those are designed to stop bullets), only for them to run forward to take cover behind a CARDBOARD BOX. Of course, the stupidness of that action was the point of the ad.
Line 48:
* Averted in ''[[Snatch]]'', Tony shouts through the wall for his boss to duck, then empties the magazine at body height through the wall. He successfully hits two of the four guys in the hallway besides his boss, and the other two [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|decide to scram]].
* Averted in an almost identical way in ''[[The Matrix]]'', where Agent Smith fires through a wall to hit the leg of an escaping Morpheus.
* Averted in ''[[Léon: The Professional]]''. Matilda's little brother runs from the corrupt DEA agents, one of them starts spraying through the wall with a kimmel ap-9 and manages to hit him. Later, when the police try to storm Leon's and Matilda's hideout, the bullets go through the wall, which makes the situation rather sticky for those inside.
* In ''[[Mr. and Mrs. Smith]]'', Brad Pitt takes shelter from Angelina Jolie's [[UMP 45]] by hiding behind a fridge door.
* Averted somewhat in ''[[Lethal Weapon]] 4''. Riggs kills a man who was hiding behind some pipes, [[Improbable Aiming Skills|by using another pipe to deflect the bullet]] so the hiding guy stands up from the pain of getting shot.
* Averted in ''[[Miller's Crossing]]'', when The Dane shoots a thug through the wall.
Line 137:
** Never mind the explosives, which will also level buildings when used.
* Averted in ''[[Crysis (series)|Crysis]]'', in the same manner as the [[Silent Storm]] examples above.
* Averted in ''[[
* Averted in ''[[Black]]''. Anything that can be hidden behind can be destroyed by gunfire. The game's main marketing point (apart from [[Gun Porn]]).
* ''[[Scarface the World Is Yours]]''. Shooting out the window of a well-armored car is a great tactic...oddly, your lackey in the passenger seat will (quite possibly) get ventilated and die while Tony remains untouched.
