** [[Only a Flesh Wound]]
** A gunshot wound, even a headshot that splatters someone's brains across the room, invariably means a slow, agonizing death.

* '''Double Subverted''': To die from a second bullet later.
* '''Parodied''': The gun shop Bill frequents is advertising the ''Super Bullet'', which is guaranteed to drop your opponents even if it just grazes them.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Bill shoots Mac, who appears to die instantly. Then, as Bill turns to walk away, Mac opens his eyes, crawls forward, and shoots Bill...who dies instantly.
* '''Averted''': Mac gets shot and lives long enough to bleed out and deliver a [[Final Speech]].
* '''Enforced''': The producers of this film are big on gun control and want to reinforce how deadly guns can be
* '''Lampshaded''': “This gun shoots death!”
* '''Invoked''': Bill has some targeting practice to make everyone of his bullets cast death when they are shot.
* '''Defied''': Bill has some targeting practice to avoid shooting Mac in a vital area.
* '''Discussed''': "Well, I guess one shot is all it takes..."
** "Wow, he died rather quickly, considering I shot him in the foot..."
* '''Conversed''': "I really like ''Tropers on Tropes'', but that scene when Alice falls over after being shot  feels a bit off to me..."
