* Similarly, in "[[Stargate Atlantis|Condemed]]", the inmates have plundered the team's grounded ship and are testing out the weapons.

One of their plots involves destroying the summer camp with an alien bazooka; unfortunately, the one holding the bazooka is holding it backwards, and it ends up destroying the dam behind them instead.
* In a ''[[Men in Black (animation)|Men in Black]]: [[The Animated Series]] episode'', J finds an alien [[Fire-Breathing Weapon|flamethrower]] and threatens the monster of the week with it. Then it turns out the weapon was really pointed at his own head, the thing he thought to be the scope really being where the flames came from. Leads you to wonder...why would a flamethrower have a ''scope''?

* In the Pixar short ''Lifted'', the alien novice who just failed his abduction test gets pity from his tester, who lets him fly the ship back. He crashes it downward first.
