Law of Inverse Recoil: Difference between revisions

* Played with in ''Teki wa Kaizoku''; the main character jerks his wrists whenever he fires his laser gun like it's recoiling even though laser weapons shouldn't, but immediately after we first see him fire it he's called on that and he admits that pretending his gun recoils is just a hobby of his. Sure enough, if you pay attention in future fight scenes he keeps doing it but nobody else does.

* In ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'', when [[Instant Expert|Saito]] successfully uses the 'Staff of Destruction' {{spoiler|(really a rocket launcher that wound up in their world after a soldier from Earth had been transported there)}} without any recoil.

* In ''[[Desert Punk (manga)|Desert Punk]]'', Kanta's preteen sidekick Kosuna complains almost literally that her small pistol is not cool enough to match her self-persona. Kanta then takes her to an arms dealer, who first forces her to go dig holes for several hours before allowing her to try out an assault rifle. While she exhibits accuracy that astonishes Kanta and the arms dealer, she brings the gun back admitting that firing it is physically punishing for a girl her size and that she'd be completely ineffective in combat with it.

* The manga adaptation of James P. Hogan's novel ''The Two Faces of Tomorrow'' has a scene where a [[Space Marine]] floating outside the space station in a spacesuit fires a particle beam rifle. Small thrusters on his jetpack fire to counter the weapon's recoil.
