** If you acquire an optional upgrade that increases your ammo replenishment rate and are smart with your ammo, you can fly indefinitely with it.
* In ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', leaping in the air and firing the pistols to keep yourself airborne is a strategy noted in the manual!
* ''[[
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'': ''[[The Minish Cap]]'', you have to use the Gust Jar in a few areas to move a floating platform around like a boat. Normally the jar sucks in items when it's being used, but also produces one big puff when stopped. The recoil is what moves the platform, rather than the suction.
== First Person Shooter ==
* Early versions of the "Combat Construction" mod for ''[[Starsiege: Tribes|Tribes 2]]'' had recoil all on the weapons. On the vast majority of them, the recoil was negligible. However, there was a fully automatic M60 machine gun, which had quite a large recoil, a massive magazine, and a constant stream of bullets. It effectively allowed you to fly around the map at a hundred KPH, when the average top speed for players in the mod was a tenth of that.
* ''[[Crysis (
* All weapons in ''[[Marathon
** By [[Game Mod|changing the physics model in Anvil]] you can also make the flamethrower act as an actual jetpack (give it high negative recoil) or change the pistol's firing animation to the MA-75B's to make it fully automatic. The combined recoil of each shot can allow you to hover with one pistol, or actually fly into the air ([[Good Bad Bugs|or through walls]]) with [[Guns Akimbo|two]].
* In ''[[
** Said weapon, when aimed downwards, can provide a third jump on top of the Scout's usual double-jump.
** Strangely, the Pyro's regular flamethrower alternate fire, the airblast, can reflect projectiles (including arrows!) but does not push the player around, only enemies. This is probably because the Pyro would get 10 extra jumps if the airblast did have recoil.
Line 42:
* ''[[Duke Nukem]] II'' had the flame thrower. It'll propel you upward if you fire it downward, all right.
* Firing Plasma Gun in ''[[Purple]]'' blasts you off to the opposite direction, allowing to jump over wide gaps by firing downwards.
* Many of the [[One Hundred Percent Completion|secrets]] in ''[[
Line 55:
* This is actually part of the design for the Druuge Mauler in ''[[Star Control]] II''. The recoil of its weapon is so fantastic that it propels you quite powerfully in the opposite direction. A couple of shots can put you at maximum speed. This is great because the ship's engines are pretty slow. Also [[Justified Trope|justified]] because it's [[In Space]]. Strangely, none of the other ships, including those that use projectile weapons, exhibit any form of weapon-induced inertia.
* Taken to its logical extreme in the retro flash game ''Maverick'', where the point of the game is to travel around on the recoil of your two six-shooters. Which naturally have [[Bottomless Magazines]].

* ''[[Cortex Command]]'' provides several weapons with nice recoil. The heavy digger can be used with very light actors (such as skeletons) to lift them in the air or cushion their fall. Some guns have been designed that have so much recoil that they must be fired with a massive mech; you can fire them with any actor, but most will just [[Ludicrous Gibs|explode]].
Line 75:
* In [[Cowboy Bebop]] episode "Heavy Metal Queen", Spike propels himself shooting his pistol after jumping loose in a zero-gravity space.
* Technically, it's not a gun, but it's the same idea: In ''[[
** He does the same in the Tenkaichi Budokai against Tien, when both are free-falling, and the first to touch the ground will lose. Goku fires the Kamehameha twice in succession: One to thrust himself at Tien, knocking him down so he couldn't fly and one to gain some more height through recoil to ensure Tien will hit the ground first ([[Diabolus Ex Machina|Goku ends up losing anyway, because he hits a car before Tien gets to the ground]]).

** Note: They don't do it to make the tank travel faster along the ground. The tank is falling out of the sky (there was an exploding airplane involved) and they fired the tank gun downwards repeatedly. To make the tank fly. Seriously.
*** Actually, the fire the gun sideways to push the tank towards a lake. They fire downwards at the end to 'soften' the impact. And yes, it IS awesome.
