* In ''[[Fallout]] 3'', held and thrown grenades can be shot to make them detonate prematurely. Of course, it's darn near impossible what with combat being so hectic and them being so small and fast. However, using [[Bullet Time|VATS]] mode allows you to select them and shoot them with far greater accuracy. There's something ''[[Video Game Cruelty Potential|special]]'' about the first time you detonate a wastelanders arm by shooting the grenade they planned to lob at you. And the following fifty.

* ''[[Terminator]] II: Judgment Day'' [[Arcade Game]]. During the sequence in the future, the enemy regularly throws bombs at you. You can shoot and detonate them before they hit you.

* [[Cactus (Creator)|Cactus]]'s game ''[[Burn the Trash]]!'' is a [[Shoot Em Up]] where the player's ship has a secondary weapon that destroys all enemy bullets in its path. The "ship" from the same author's ''Deep/Wing/Break'' can shoot and destroy enemy bullets with its regular weapon. ''[[Minubeat (Video Game)|Minubeat]]'' has a weapon that instantly destroys all enemy bullets on screen, in what would be otherwise a typical [[Bullet Hell]] game.

* In ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 5|5]]'' you can shoot down thrown weapons like sickles or crossbow bolts. There is even an achievement/trophy for using your knife to deflect a crossbow bolt in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]''.

* This trope is the entire point of ''[[Missile Command]]''.
