Pinball Projectile: Difference between revisions

== [[Advertising]] ==

* Those commercials with Larry Bird and Michael Jordan back in the day. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oACRt-Qp-s "Off the floor, off the scoreboard, off the wall, nothing but net."]

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* [[Pokémon Special]]: Gold always carries a billard cue with him and frequently uses it to launch his Pokeballs to a tactically advantageous postion, often ricocheting them off of surfaces to get there.

* In ''[[Ranma ½]]'' the detachable [[Rings of Death|blade ring]] of the [[Blade on a Stick|Kinjakan]] is ''meant'' to be used like this. When Ranma steals it from the Phoenix people and tries to use it acts like a [[Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball]], and a Phoenix woman tells him that it takes years of training to use the weapon properly. Then Ranma immediately uses it a ''second'' time, the ring bounces exactly where he wants it to go, and Ranma gives a smug smirk.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* One of the novels in ''[[The History of the Galaxy]]'' series mentions that there is special software installed to do exactly that with the [[Real Robots]] when the enemy is hiding. Why an explosive projectile blows up only when hitting a target instead of a rock is not explained. Presumably, they're smart bullets or something.
