More Dakka: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}<!-- %%This trope is for guns only. Lasers, missiles, arrows, or anything else all have their own pages -- see [[Spam Attack]] for what they are. -->

 

 

[[Gatling Good]] and [[Guns Akimbo]] are common ways of achieving more dakka, and you can expect to see [[Spent Shells Shower|gratuitous camera shots devoted to torrents of shell casings]] produced by the volume of fire. Unfortunately, more dakka has a good chance of accomplishing little or nothing, in the case of [[A-Team Firing]] or if the shooters are graduates of the [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]. [[The Gunslinger]] may specialize in more dakka.

 

 

 

 

 

{{examples}}

* The ''[[Gundam]]'' series frequently features massive volumes of fire, usually from multiple [[Gatling Good]] rotary cannons.

* In all versions of ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'', Section 9 and other gun-using entities frequently use lots of automatic fire. Both the Major and Batou often use submachine guns or assault rifles on full-auto, and the Tachikoma [[Spider Tank]]s are mounted with tri-barreled gatling guns. Heavy automatic fire is usually needed due to fighting armored or cyborg opponents. All the bullets flying also makes it harder for the faster enemies to avoid being hit.

* One episode of ''[[City Hunter]]'' has Kaori causing destruction and mayhem in a storage complex over an orphanage. With [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Big Guns]], Grenades, and Rocket Launchers. Never mind that [[A-Team Firing|she missed all the bad guys]].

* Hoshimura Makina in ''[[Shikabane Hime]]'' totes around a brace of MAC-11/9mm machine pistols.

* The "multiple-fire rifle" from ''[[Lone Wolf and Cub]]'' definitely counts. Since the setting is in the Edo period, the other gunsmiths aren't able to make more than matchlock rifles with [[Bling Bling Bang|excessive decoration]], one character pushes gun technology by making a man-portable volley gun. It's a BFG with several barrels that fire at once, creating a shotgun-like spread weapon. The main character makes use of the gun several times, each time to devastating effect.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' contains examples of this, most notably Attenborough's creation of a weapon that fires on ''every'' point in ''space time''. The series [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann/Awesome|CMoA page]] claims this is enough dakka, but is proven wrong as the movie adaptations contains even more dakka.

 

* ''[[Fables]]'' came up with a fine mix of modern-day weaponry and Fable tactics: Take one flying ship (powered by flying carpets), load with all the guns that can fit and set up a chain of ammo depots around the world that can be accessed instantly by teleportation, and rain a never-ending solid wall of hot lead on the enemy armies for hours and hours.

* ''[[X-Force]]'' (New series) #14. The team is in an alternate post-Apocalyptic future and surrounded. Insane Future Deadpool's response is [http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/deadpool/14.jpg more handgun dakka].

* [[Cable]] frequently carries multiple large firearms, often with an excessive number of nonsensically placed magazines. He usually fires a lot of bullets out of them.

 

 

* ''[[The Matrix]]'' likes this one. There's the memorable scene when Neo fires a minigun from a helicopter to kill three Agents, complete with gratuitous [[Slow Motion]] shots devoted to the shell casings falling from the gun. In the sequels, there's the huge machine guns mounted on Zion's resident [[Humongous Mecha]] and ships with turrets mounting dual machine guns. The Merovingian's mooks also used this trope unsuccessfully in ''Reloaded'' against Neo, who doesn't need to [[Dodge the Bullet]] anymore, so it makes no difference how many there are.

* John [[Rambo]] loves full-auto fire, starting after the first film. In ''[[Rambo]]'', the fourth film, he uses a .50 caliber machine gun to kill the driver of the truck it's mounted on. A thirteen-round burst at a range of two or three feet was certainly gratuitous.

* ''[[Sherlock Holmes (film)|Sherlock Holmes]] 2: A Game of Shadows'': Not only is there more shooting than the first movie, there's a [[Gatling Good]] gun at some point. Watson also picks up an early LMG and uses it.

* The chief tactic of the British in ''[[Zulu]]''.

 

* The ''[[Shadowrun]]'' story anthology ''Into The Shadows'' has a number of examples of this trope. The best is probably in "It's All Done With Mirrors", when a junkyard is attacked with "more ordnance.. ..than was used in all fifty-seven James Bond movies combined."

* [[I Call It Vera|Reason]] in ''[[Snow Crash]]'', a 3mm Gatling Railgun powered by a thermonuclear reactor with a rate of fire sufficient to reduce boatloads of pirates to a fine red mist before they can blink and rip giant, gaping, molten holes through aircraft carriers.

* In [[John Ringo]] and [[David Weber]]'s ''[[Prince Roger]]'' series, Rastar Komas Ta'Norton is a native of the planet Marduk. He has four arms, and consequently, four hands, each of which can hold and fire a pistol. At the same time. He does this while riding, well, a dinosaur. He can also do this with swords.

* In the Mack Maloney series Wingman, the main character retrofits his plane, the world's last F-16, to carry 6 [[Gatling Good|six-barrel M61-A1 Vulcans]].

 

** An M134 minigun has been used twice on the show: once by Jamie to test the myth behind the phrase "easy as shooting fish in a barrel" (Adam: "Was that easy?" Jamie: "Yeah, pretty easy."), and once by Kari to test if it's possible to saw a tree in half with automatic fire (it is).

* One episode of ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' revolved around the bad guys stealing a gun that shot so many rounds at once so quickly that it was called the "Vaporizer Gun". It's shown in action in the opening stinger.

* In the ''[[Underbelly]]: A Tale of Two Cities'' episode "Business as Usual", Ray Chuck Bennett plans to kill the Kane brothers. He does it by purchasing three machine guns and pumping a full magazine of dakka from each into Les Kane. This was too much for even veteran mobster Bob Trimbolie.

* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers]]'' have made it a regular feature for the Megazord, the Rangers' most often used giant robot, to gain More Dakka via combining with newer robots.

* On the ''[[Deadliest Warrior]]'' episode "Mafia vs. Yakuza", the Tommy gun completely obliterates a dummy restaurant with at least five slugs in each of the five dummies—and then they replay it in slow motion. More Dakka indeed.

* [[Deconstructed]] on a season 3 episode of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' where a guy attacks Michael and Sam with a MAC-10, a submachine gun that is the [[Real Life]] embodiment of More Dakka (Michael's voice-over rightfully calls it one of the most inaccurate guns on the planet). They dive behind cover and wait for the guy's full-auto Dakka to burn through the clip in about five seconds, then capture him when he tries to reload.

 

* While fantasy ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' never will quite reach the level of its offspring IN SPACE, the Empire and Dwarf armies feature "Organ Guns," a kind of medieval gatling gun apparently inspired by some of da Vinci's sketches. The Skaven, however, skip straight to an all but modern version, referred to as the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Ratling Gun]]. It has an unfortunate habit of blowing up, however. When most armies' artillery misfires, a bad roll will result in loss of the artillery piece and it's crew.

* Among all the automatic weaponry in [[BattleTech]], there's the Ultra Autocannon which can be set to fire two bursts instead of one, the Federated Suns' Rotary Autocannon which can fire up to six, and the LB-X Autocannon which is a rapid-fire shotgun scaled up for a mech. The Clan Hyper-Assault Gauss is More Dakka applied to gauss weaponry. And in the Battletech RPG, the Clans also have manportable Gauss submachine guns. P90 railguns. Proven Alien-Killing Design + Railgun Power = MORE DAKKA.

* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' has the Vindicator minigun, loved by street samurai for the insane amount of Dakka. Usually vehicle mounted, but particularly strong trolls can use them on foot. The game is full of automatic weapons and fun ways to kill people with them.

* ''[[New Horizon]]'' does allow for this kind of weapon.... but it's prohibitively expensive.

* ''[[Duel Masters]]'': Almost every creature in the Fire Civilization.

 

 

* A good few hours into ''[[Dungeon Siege]]'', your standard click-to-attack fantasy game, with swords, staffs, bows, etc., you get a minigun.

* The Terran Republic weapons in ''[[PlanetSide]]'' are built around this trope. Their heavy assault gun is a miniature chaingun, and their rifle's tracers look like lasers because they fire so damn ''fast''. And they have a 5 man armored truck with 4 20mm guns on it.

* The legendary clockwork pistol, Red Dragon, from ''[[Fable II]]'' is essentially this trope personified. It shoots as fast as you can spam the fire button and reloads all six shots in 0.75 sec. And ammunition is unlimited in the game.

* All ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' games feature a weak, rapid-firing basic weapon, which usually upgrades to a less weak, ''extremely'' rapid-firing weapon. The fully-upgraded Heavy Lancer in the [[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|second game]] fired so fast it was almost a continuous stream of bullets, and the [[Ratchet: Deadlocked|fourth game]] takes it still further with the ability to add "speed mods" to guns, greatly increasing their dakka output. If even more dakka was needed, the second game onward added weapons that pop out mini-turrets.

* The Ninja gun from ''[[Boktai|LunarKnights]]'' is a rapid-fire, solar-powered [[Guns Akimbo]] just perfect for taking out a small army of weak [[Mooks]] charging at you. Progression through its ranks gifts it with More Dakka.

* Once you have the Chicago Typewriter in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', the game is all about this.

** ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' lets any weapon have infinite ammo once its been fully upgraded, including 4 machine guns. If that's not enough dakka, chapter 2-3 puts Chris and Sheva in a Humvee with a heavy machine gun and a minigun. If THAT isn't enough, Chris can get another minigun with infinite ammo strapped to his back. More dakka indeed.

* The entire purpose of ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'''s [[Gatling Good|Gatling gun]], which fired a minimum of two shots with every press of the button. Then again, most people probably didn't tap the fire button (or even release it) until all enemies (save the episode bosses) understood what it meant to be on the RECEIVING end of more dakka, or they ran out of ammo. The most extreme were the end bosses, of which most would have Guns Akimbo chaingun, and was capped off by Mecha Hitler's [[Quad Damage|Quad-Gatling Gun]] Power Armor.

** The Venom from ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein'' as well (the bodies even [[Ludicrous Gibs|explode]] after receiving a certain amount of dakka).

* ''[[Duke Nukem 3D]]'', known for being a very Dakka-riffic game, has the Devastator, combining More Dakka and [[Stuff Blowing Up]], with rapid-firing stinger missiles. Really only practical against bosses, though, but then it's REALLY useful.

** The Devastator doesn't appear until the late game, though. But while you wait to find one, have fun with the Ripper chaingun cannon. Triple-barrel belt-fed fun.

** Even Duke's pistol acts like it's on 3-round burst mode.

* The Russian PPSh-41 submachine gun in ''[[Call of Duty]] 2''; 71 round magazine plus the highest rate of fire of any weapon in the game equals a whole lotta Dakka. Yes, this really existed.

** Speaking of ''[[Call of Duty]]'', in ''CoD4'', the mission "Heat." You ''[[Gatling Good|know]]'' the part (Hint: It's ''not'' the beginning of said mission). There's also the Mk19 during the helicopter portions of "Shock And Awe." It's not as fast, but it's dakka with ''grenades''.

* ''[[Resistance|Resistance: Fall of Man]]'' had the Bullseye, which had an acceptable amount of dakka for an assault rifle, but ''Resistance 2'' finally got around to adding the Wraith minigun.

* ''[[Unreal Tournament 2004]]'' isn't terribly dakka-happy, with even the [[Gatling Good|minigun]] having a depressingly slow rate of fire. A few mods aim to address this; one in particular on a grounded "small" enemy and fills it full of lead.

* ''[[Heretic]]'' has the Hellstaff, and to a lesser extent the Dragon Claw. They fire fast, that's their only advantage.

** After using the Tome of Power (that enhances a weapon's power for a short time), these weapons actually ''lose'' their dakka abilities, in exchange for area-effect powers (releasing a spread of [[Recursive Ammo|iron balls]] and a [[Death From Above|shower of hellfire]] upon impact, respectively). Most of the other weapons do gain plenty of dakka when powered up, though.

* One of the [[Humongous Mecha]] in ''[[Robot Alchemic Drive]]'', which transforms into a tank and carries the most weapons of the three 'bots you control, has an ultimate attack called "Fire All Ordnance." It does [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].

* ''[[Metal Wolf Chaos]]'' can be entirely boiled down to slapping More Dakka on to a (not quite so) [[Humongous Mecha]], piloted by an extremely [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Our Presidents Are Different|president]], who is entirely willing to use his plentiful supply of Dakka to spread his [[Patriotic Fervor|BURNING AMERICAN JUSTICE]]!

** Then there's the Double Machine Guns from MS 5, all of the various vehicles and animals the character's can use, Allen O'Neill and his huge machine gun, gatling rebels...

* The Alt Eisen in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Compact 2/Impact/Original Generation'' has [[Shoulders of Doom]] containing what are giant rapid-fire claymore mines. Now ''that's'' Dakka.

** Also, the Jiyaki GUN-Oh in ''[[Endless Frontier]]'': A robot with Gatling guns in the arms, gatling guns on the shoulders, and two gatling guns ''per leg''. And then some.

* In ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company|Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'',continuous fire from the UH-60 mounted minigun can destroy walls and other thin covers. Combined with the "Destruction 2.0" feature you can destroy buildings with your minigun. It has unlimited ammo so there's just no excuse for ''not'' firing.

* The Minigun in the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' games after ''[[Vice City]]'', and the M16 in ''GTA III''. So much dakka they can destroy a car just by spraying it a little bit!

*** That's more than the firing rate of most belt-fed machine guns. Understandably, it was [[Nerf]]ed in subsequent games.

* The Real-Time Strategy game ''[[Total Annihilation]]'' has a fun variant of this trope- in the expansion, you can build (at an exorbitant cost) Gatling ''artillery'' capable of firing clear across most maps at a rate of fire that makes the spherical projectiles... each one of which ''explodes'' with enough force to flatten multiple buildings... look more like a blinking line than discrete projectiles. If your enemy gets one of these built, you can kiss your base goodbye.

** Its spiritual sequel ''[[Supreme Commander]]'' also featured such a weapon, though its ridiculous build time means it sees little use outside of just-for-fun single player games.

** This is enabled by the fact that the Autocannons (which are devastating in the novels) have a relatively slow reload rate to offset their heavy punch, while the MGs can fire an uninterrupted stream while also putting off absolutely no heat. Let's not get into their huge magazines. About the only flaw with the design was the relative lack of range-being nearly the shortest-ranged weapons in the game, the assumption was a machinegun-boat would never make it past the longer-ranged fire of a Mech armed with heavier guns.

*** The smaller lighter Autocannons can compensate weight with distance and damage (While MGs have to get close, even the smallest caliber light autocannon can pick you off from a distance), the Clan Hell Horse's rotary Autocannons for the bigger calibers may pack a lot of dakka but is prone to jamming and has range issues.

* The ''[[Fallout]]'' series has miniguns and ''[[Gatling Good|Gatling laser cannons]]''. That's self-explanatory. Duel-wielding SMGs is also a good way to put out damage early on if one has enough ammo.

** In the intro movie of the second game, a squad of Enclave troopers are pumping out hundreds of bullets with a minigun during a raid. As their target is a group of wide-eyed, sheltered vault-dwellers attempting to step outside for the first time in their lives to behold the new world , this is very much overkill.

*** And thanks to New Vegas and the wonders of Modding, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShBPqWjSu3Y Mini-Nuke CHAINGUN]. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have achieved a new level of Dakka.

*** Then somebody combined the above two and made the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxZQT7_89P4 Gatling MIRV]. Not enuff dakka, but it will do for now.

** ''[[Fallout 3]]'' has this standardized for all characters through the V(ault-Tec).A(ssisted).T(argeting).S(ystem)., in which you may use your Action Points to shoot or melee attack faster than you would ever be capable outside it, as well as slowing time down for the duration of your attack(s) and reduce damage taken during V.A.T.S. attacks by 90%. However, your chance of hitting with it will always be percentage-based, [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|even if you are at point-blank range from your target.]]

** ''[[Fallout Tactics]]'' features a Gauss Gatling gun in addition to the usual miniguns. Possibly the most powerful weapon in the game, short of .50 caliber Browning M2 machine guns (for those strong enough to carry one and a decent load of ammo).

* In the original ''[[Homeworld]]'', the Multi-gun Corvette has six rapid-tracking, rapid-fire mass drivers, and the Drone Frigate can spawn two dozen floating rapid-fire mass drivers.

** The Kadeshi ion beam frigates spray the enemy with 6 ion cannon beams simultaneously while ''dancing through a barrel roll''. Cap 12 of them and watch the energy Dakka on a Taiidan capital ship later.

** In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', Shepard calls for this explicitly. Originally s/he thinks that s/he's just having the Normandy bomb a Reaper base but then finds out the base itself is a Reaper. S/he calls for EDI to network the Normandy's weapon systems to the entire Quarian fleet.

** Most heavy weapons in ''2'' operate on the 'slow firing big boom' model. Perhaps recognising a gap in the arsenal, ''3'' added the Geth Spitfire, essentially a [[Gatling Good|plasma-firing minigun]] with the fire rate to match.

* ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' has the Chain Gun, which has an insane firing rate, is one of the most powerful weapons aside from the one-hit KO secret weapon, and provides 40 shots with every one you pick up, higher than any other weapon. You also sometimes get vehicles with their own built-in weapons, some of which have pretty good firing rates and all of which never run out of ammo.

* The Ingram from ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]'' provides a hefty quantity of DAKKA. Can be [[Guns Akimbo|duel-wielded]] for even MOAR DAKKA. They do suffer from limited stopping power and reduced accuracy, but the ability to fill a 5-foot cube with bullets compensates for this nicely. There's also the rapid-fire Commando, an earlier version of the M4, and the Jackhammer, which is a fully-automatic shotgun.

** Unless you are playing in Arena mode, where the ammo is free. Mounting two Gatling guns on a mecha gives you enough firepower to obliterate every opponent and it's a good strategy to make your way in the top tier easier.

** ''Armored Core 4'' jacks the Dakka scale [[Up to Eleven]] with ''[[Gatling Good|hand-held, dual-wieldable chain guns]]''. [[Guns Akimbo|Miniguns akimbo]], but easy to achieve if your AC could handle the weight (read: If you have a tank or quadruped that isn't already carrying [[BFG|back-mounted grenade cannons]]). [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|You could always combine the two]] if your AC could ''definitely'' handle the weight.

** Special mention must go to the "FINGER" Quadruple-Barreled machine gun, which in turn is taken to its logical conclusion by Rim Fire, a Raven who is brave/crazy enough to actually dual wield these things.

* [[Mega Man Legends|Mega Man Volnutt]]'s machine gun super in ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' is his machine gun arm with the switch shifted to a long stream of more dakka.

* While the "Anima Mortar" A-Gear airframe in ''[[Air Rivals|Ace Online]]'' is limited to double barrels at most, its signature ability, Siege Mode, adds to its Continuous Fire. This makes it shoot even faster. Endgame A-Gears have enough quickfire bonuses to their weapons of choice ''to launch ordinance as fast as a Gatling gun''. At level 92, the rate of fire triples.

* The British artillery commander from ''[[Company of Heroes]]'' is gifted the 'Victor Target' ability. This promptly fires all 25 pounder howitzers and 105mm Priest Self Propelled Guns simultaneously at the target regardless of range. People have been kicked from a game because of lag incurred from watching the results of 3 priests and 7 25 pounders firing in one use of the V-target.

* In ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'', Nouhime can whip out a minigun from [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|under her dress]], using it to juggle enemies in the air. The gun can be upgraded to include a second barrel. Now that's Dakka right there.

** Her later-game [[Expy]], Magoichi Saica, does this with a machine gun resembling an AK, and her [[Limit Break]] involves her spamming all of her weapons [[Guns Akimbo]] style, including pistols, shotguns, and machine guns, before finally finishing it up with a massive spread of ''missiles from her rocket launcher.'' Given how many hits she could score with these weapons, in a game where anyone without a unique model was little more than a speed bump, her attack could range from merely devastating into [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]. Bonus points for being able to charge her super attack frighteningly quick by, you guessed it, attacking with her machine gun.

* ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' 7 introduces Gatling guns as useable weapons and the weapon of choice for Guo Huai, who has a [[Limit Break|Musou Attack]] in which he impales an enemy upon the bayonet before juggling the enemy with bullets.

* One of Fulgore's (The Robot) [[Finishing Move|fatalities]] in ''[[Killer Instinct]]'' is revealing a gun hidden inside his body. Then another. [[Telescoping Robot|Then another. Then some more. Then another.]] Then, he fires.

** With a backup, for the Assault Rifle set, of being able to hose the same batch of targets down with a flamethrower if any of them are still standing.

* ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' has the accurate variety. Despite the fact that Dante [[Guns Akimbo|wields dual]] [[Handguns|pistols]], which a) don't have rapid fire capabilities and b) should only have 7-9 bullets per round of ammo, he still manages to bring the Dakka with his magic-enabled [[Bottomless Magazines]] and Gunslinger abilities. One of the most notable abilities being Rain Storm, where Dante dives towards the ground while showering bullets downward — the initial recoil actually pushes him upward for a short distance. A second being the ''4''-introduced Honeycomb Fire, which causes normal mooks in the general area in front of Dante to have about as much holes in them as an actual honeycomb does. A third being the ''3''-exclusive Wild Stomp, where Dante stomps on a grounded "small" enemy and fills it full of lead.

* There's the Gatling gun at the end of most campaigns in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]''. Dakka on hordes of zombies simply can't be missed. Same goes for the heavy machine gun in the second game.

* [http://onemorelevel.com/game/3d_micro_wars This flash game] has no strategy beyond "need more dakka." And dear lord is it satisfying.

* ''[[Iji]]'' has several guns like this, though most of them fire "Nano" or "Plasma".

** The first game has the Hailstorm, a US designed heavy weapon that can fire the entire 200 round magazine in about ''6 seconds'' of sustained fire. Unfortunately, ammo is relatively rare, and the secondary fire tends to be more useful (fires the entire magazine as a magnetically contained sphere that shoots off at enemies like some kind of demented turret).

* The ''Vengeance''-Class Frigate in ''[[Star Wars]]: [[Empire At War]]: Forces of Corruption''. Its primary weapon is quad tri-barrel, rapid-fire mass drivers. Has no shields, but thick armour, and the mass driver's can bypass enemy shields. [[Stealth in Space|And cloak.]]

** Each 'sword' is in fact an artifact weapon with abilities that range from freezing the target in place to reversing causality (The attack always kills the target. Because the weapon works so that the heart is punctured, THEN the blow lands. So you can't dodge, [[You Can't Fight Fate|as you've already been hit before you are hit]]) to tearing a hole in space-time and wiping the target (and possibly the world) out of reality.

* The side-scroller shoot-em-up [[Jets N Guns]] has plenty of this. The most Dakka you can get comes from a weapon that consists of seven rotary chainguns, mounted together in a circle. You can use up to five of those at the same time.

* In the Flash game ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/378012 Endless Zombie Rampage]'', the best shotgun in the game is best described as a MG42 that fires shotgun shells. But there's also a Minigun for your classic More Dakka pleasure.

** Speaking of Newgrounds, zombies, and Dakka, the Boxhead games get a mention for the upgrades that get added as you crank up the kills. when you get the quad-ammo, quad-speed, longest range, that SMG becomes DAKKA DEALER, and don't even get me ''started'' on the upgraded shottie...

* As the [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/52155.html trailer] for the new tri-Ace RPG ''[[Resonance of Fate]]'' (Japanese title: ''End of Eternity'') shows, the premise appears to be "[[JRPG]] + More Dakka." Sounds like a winning combination, if you ask me.

* The arcade game ''[[Heavy Barrel]]'' saw the players collecting keys and opening up chests — some of which contained the components to the eponymous Heavy Barrel. It was a massive weapon that fired a massively destructive cone of energy that would instantly kill infantry and do serious damage to everything else. Best of all the weapon had unlimited shots for a limited duration.

* Any gun from Vladov in ''[[Borderlands]]'' are manufactured to fit this trope in particular.

** Vladov: You don't need to be a better shot, you just need to shoot more bullets!

* I think the [[Heroic Sociopath|HK droids]] have the right idea in the deleted scenes of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]] II''...

{{quote|"Mocking Statement: Fully armed? One can never be armed ''enough''".}}

** You can fit projectile turrets onto ships of other races, too, assuming you have the skills to do so. Only Minmatar ships get ''bonuses'' to projectile turrets (and hence the ''most'' dakka), but they still have their uses on other ships; they use no capacitor energy, for instance, letting you apply that energy towards defenses or maneuverability. They can also deal all types of damage using different kinds of ammo.

** Autocannon-armed ships will combine More Dakka with [[A-Team Firing]]; most weapons systems are meant to be fired at an "optimal" range, where a hit is almost guaranteed, but autocannons' optimal range is so absurdly short that Minmatar pilots will prefer to fight within their "falloff" range - the range at which a weapon has a fifty/fifty chance of hitting its target.

* The default combat strategy in ''[[Aquaria (video game)|Aquaria]]''. Not as much as some examples on this page, but very effective since it's ''homing'' dakka. Subverted by the Kelp Forest boss, whose 360-degree ring of bullets [[Hoist by His Own Petard|turns against her]] when you bounce it back. And the first form of the [[Final Boss]], who has an attack that sprays shots all over the place and [[A-Team Firing|rarely scores a hit]].

* A very good tactic when playing ''[[Crimsonland]]''.

* The average player's warship in ''[[Naval Ops]]'' (AKA ''Warship Gunner'') games can have any combination of 35mm CIWS, multibarreled miniguns similar to the Phalanx, 40mm quad-barrel machine guns, 12.7&nbsp;cm rapid-fire High Angle flak cannons, or rapid-firing Pulse Laser AA guns, and that's just air-defense dakka. Other "traditional" dakka includes Gatling cannons ranging from 40mm to 406mm and 57mm High-Velocity guns that upgrade to 280mm Advanced Gun Systems. The game brings it's own special brand of dakka when auto reload systems can reload 80&nbsp;cm Main Guns, vastly larger than any fitted to a real warship, in about a third a second, or apply the same technology plus the games interpretation of AEGIS to submarine torpedoes. A quad tubed 80&nbsp;cm guided torpedo setup with AEGIS can lock onto 9 different targets and send 4 torpedoes, one for each tube, to each target. The next volley will be loaded before it finishes locking on again. Similar effects can be done with missiles. Gun dakka, torpedo dakka, missile dakka, still not enough dakka.

* ''[[Half-Life]]'' never really had an example of this trope, except for the expansion pack Opposing Force. The M249 PARA LMG had a 50 round clip, insanely powerful shots... It put the toughest enemies in the game to true shame, and could wipe out the final boss in less than one whole clip. More Dakka indeed.

* In ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2'' in multiplayer, use the Vector (slightly faster)/P90(more ammo), Bling, and attach faster fire and akimbo as the gun's attachments. Now run into a room full of enemies, and open fire. Sure, this eats up ammo like nobody's business, but DAMN is it fun!

* ''[[Front Mission]] 3'': Have Ryogo in his default wanzer. Equip with a high-activation comp. Watch the [[ROFUP 1]]'s and Zoom1's stack up.

** In ''Evolved'', the player can elect to build a wanzer embodying this, first with [[Guns Akimbo|dual machine guns]], and later with dual [[Shoulder Cannon|shoulder mounted]] [[Gatling Good|Gatling guns.]] It's possible to have four automatic weapons on a Wanzer for the largest volume of fire, though the amount of recoil suffered in the process, and the [[Overheating]] problem incurred by full-auto weapons, makes this [[Awesome but Impractical]].

* Invoked in ''[[Enter the Matrix]]''; a NPC says that automatic weapons are especially effective against agents, as the sheer number of bullets are difficult to dodge.

* This is the role of the [[Gatling Good|Gatling]] turret in ''[[Guns of Icarus]]''. It has a short range and doesn't deal much damage, but it can spam lots and lots of bullets, which makes it useful for taking out large groups of weak enemies.

* The machine-gunners' strategy in ''[[Alien Hallway]]'' is to spray as many bullets as they can into as many aliens as they can.

* [[All-American Face|Jax]] from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' frequently has this, sometimes as a gun for a special move and sometimes in his bionic arms for a [[Fatality]].

* The weapons of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', most notably the blades and claws.

* ''[[E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy]]'' has More Dakka in several flavors. The BK13 [[Guns Akimbo|dual pistols]] have a setting for fully automatic fire, which quickly empties both magazines. The [[Gatling Good|Sulfatum minigun]] fires a solid wall of lead with a 500 round drum magazine. The penultimate example of dakka is the HS010 submachine gun, which carries a 100 round magazine. In its standard fire mode, it fires far faster than the fastest gun in most other games. And it has a fire mode that triples the fire rate. When you do that, the already abysmal accuracy drops to the point where the gun could barely hit the broad side of an aircraft carrier, and recoil causes your screen to spaz out. [[Improbable Aiming Skills|Good thing you can buy an implant to remove recoil entirely when activated.]]

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' has ''"The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries"'' which includes such rules as:

** Maxim 34: If you're leaving scorch marks, you need a bigger gun.

** Maxim 37: There is no 'overkill'. There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload'.

** ''Schlock Mercenary'' also has such things as [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20080814.html this little gem]. The note says it all:

{{quote|'''Note''': The rotating barrel assembly on the Strohl Munitions Short-barrel handcannon may give the user a wicked pinch if the weapon is held incorrectly. This makes it an unpopular selection for many military forces. Also, it can be configured to send anywhere between five hundred and five thousand projectiles per minute downrange with great accuracy, making it an exceedingly unpopular selection for the enemies of many military forces.}}

** The spaceship designers [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20010325.html know] [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20040224.html that] [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20060617.html principle], [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20040620.html too].

* Vulcan Raven's take on the subject in good old ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound]]'':

{{quote|'''Raven''': Subtlety is a thing for philosophy, not combat. If you're going to kill somebody, you might as well kill them a whole lot.}}

* ''[[Freak Angels]]'': One character has a [http://www.freakangels.com/?p=48&page=6 steam-powered gatling gun] that fires massive metal arrows.

* Shauna from ''[[Legostar Galactica]]'' wields a minigun in [http://www.legostargalactica.net/2009/03/10/03102009/ this strip]. It even goes "Dakka dakka dakka dakka"

* ''[[The Whiteboard]]'': During the [[Zombie Apocalypse]] storyline in 2010, Doc and Roger roll out in the [[Awesome Personnel Carrier|APC]] from ''[[Alien]]'', with 50,000 rounds of .50cal ammo for the turret guns. It's not specified, but given their propensity towards [[Spam Attack|spam attacks]], it's doubtful much (if any) of that was left by the time they were done ripping up the zombie hordes.

** Regular paintball guns also get this kind of attention, though much of what's portrayed in the strip would be completely illegal on any reputable paintball field on the planet.

 

* ''[[The Salvation War]]'' appears on the surface to follow this trope, with how much hell ends up being rained down ''on'' Hell in the first book. The second book however reveals that the key element of ''dakka'', ammo, has actually run precariously low by the end of the first book, and there's no "magic" quick-fix for rapidly rebuilding the ammo stocks any time soon.

** Michael-lan mentions this trope ''by name'':

{{quote|Michael-Lan almost snorted with laughter. "If this was human work, you'd be dead. The favorite expressions of humans where killing is concerned are 'if some is good, more is better', 'nothing succeeds like excess' and 'more dakka'. If humans wanted to kill you, you wouldn't just be dead, your body parts would be strewn over half the Eternal City. This wasn't human work, this was somebody else."}}

* The FTO rely on this in the ''[[Kate Modern]]'' episode "Answers", spraying bullets everywhere while yelling "We will bring down the Order!" They still manage to [[Only a Flesh Wound|screw up]].

* [http://mpcp13.deviantart.com/art/Dick-and-his-Ducks-116526529 This pic] illustrates this trope when combined with an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] and a [[Morally-Ambiguous Ducktorate]].

* If you want to know just how much dakka you can put into a single gun, [http://blaze-drag.deviantart.com/art/N-E-D-151992456 this picture] must come pretty close.

* Sniper from the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' is a [[The Punisher|Punisher-style]] vigilante who uses gym-bags full of guns. He thinks of himself as a hero; most of the heroes see him as a villain.

* ''[[Dead Fantasy]]'' has [[Final Fantasy X|Yuna]] unleashing a storm of bullets that even the most hardened [[Bullet Hell]] veteran would be unable to dodge after [[Final Fantasy VII|Tifa]] provides the team with some handy [[Status Buff|Haste]] magic.

* From the pages of [[Deviant ART]], we get the NED. [http://tomredlion.deviantart.com/#/d2ihq4o More Dakka indeed].

* In an episode of ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', Carl, after being harassed by a murderous family of robotic cloudcuckoolanders, asks them to play "Count the Bullets". Then he whips out the minigun.

* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "The Cartridge Family" (which generally pokes fun at America's gun culture — ''both'' sides of, no less) we see an NRA meeting where Moe explains how "with a few minor adjustments you can turn a regular gun into ''five guns''!". None of them are automatic, though. Moe has his regular shotgun in the centre, with four others around the barrel of said shotgun, held in place by pieces of metal. There are four strings that run from the shotgun's trigger to the four other guns. Moe ''really'' doesn't like people staying in the bar too late.

** [[Beast Wars|Rhinox]] and his [[Fan Nickname|Chainguns of Doom]].

** As befitting an intergalactic arms dealer, Animated Swindle understands the need for moar dakka. In addition to his arm-mounted gun, he's got two over-the-shoulder guns, a gatling gun in his chest, and his hands both change into two twin-barreled guns.

* The ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' miniseries has two main elements: incredibly awesome feats by the Jedi (and Grievous), and dakka. Unlike [[Star Wars|the movies]], ''every single weapon'' is on full automatic at all times, and the most common tactic for both Republic and Confederacy is to place their army in front the opposing army and fire repeatedly until one side stops moving. Even the [[Red Shirt|red shirts]] use [[BFG]]s, like a chest-mounted quad-barreled anti-ship cannon (a similar type is later seen mounted into the Millennium Falcon for point defense). Reaches its peak in the fourth episode, the Republic battle tanks possessing so much dakka that they mow through whole city blocks in mere seconds.

** In ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' series this trope is one of the main reasons the Separatists have any victories at all.

* Toward the end of season four of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', the Titans are defending the tower {{spoiler|and Raven from a resurrected Slade}} and his flaming demonic army from hell, and as a finishing blow Cyborg brings out a version of his Sonic Canon that seems to be bigger than he is and proceeds to wipe out the entire army, which the Titans together had been unable to beat until then, in one shot (which also drains all of the electricity from Titans Tower and most of Cyborg's own battery). (Well, he ''almost'' wipes the army out...)

* An episode of ''[[Storm Hawks]]'' features [[The Brute|Snipe]] constructing a new flagship with a ''lot'' of blasters. In true More Dakka spirit, he is never satisfied, and constantly demands that more be added. This is lampshaded several times, when his subordinates point out that it is now too heavy to fly.

** In another episode, Piper convinces a band of scavengers to help her, and they do so by building a new ship out of whatever they can find — the end result is a couple of engines and mostly weapons bolted together.

* Used hilariously in one episode of ''[[Metalocalypse]]'', where Dethklok took a trip to the Amazon. In order to make a clearing to drop the gigantic boat that would be transporting the band, Dethklok has the Klokateers destroy a gigantic portion of the forest using several high-caliber Vulcan cannons and rapid-fire rocket launchers, tearing apart the local wildlife and Crozier's soldiers. The boat landed waaaay off target.

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'':

** A sketch advertising the NRA to kids has a father take his son hunting. The kid takes a disturbing like of the sport and proceeds to blow the shit out of everything, including using grenades and "Ol' Painless", a gatling gun.
