* Used in ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' comic - when a corrupted matrix-posessed decepticon leader enters the autobot ship in one of their shuttles and starts demolishing the autobots, one of the heroes turns off the gravity and opens the airlock, allowing a single harpoon shot to push the monster out into space. |

* In ''[[Sillage]]'', while performing a mission on an alien world, Navis tumbles off a cliff during a struggle with a native. They are saved from death by an anti-gravity field generated by the local plebothinium and she quickly overpowers her opponent since she is trained in zero-gravity fighting and he is not. |

* In the ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfic ''[[Forward]]'', the crew take advantage of this when the ship suffers a malfunction that wipes out their artificial gravity systems and are being chased by Reavers. They rig the cargo doors on the belly of the ship to be partially open, luring the Reaver ship into docking at that point and boarding. The Reavers leap out into the cargo bay, but unexpectedly go from a ship with gravity to a ship without one, and their momentum leads to them flailing about helplessly in the cargo bay while the crew shoots them. |

* In [[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]], Harry has to participate into an underwater battle. He has read [[Ender's Game]]. Underwater is not quite the same as no-gravity, but someone who's "experienced" in the latter may successfully adapt quite a few tactics into the former, especially against an entirely unprepared opponent. |
