Line 18:
** Yuuna Akashi does this with Fate's [[Taken for Granite|petrification]] [[Flechette Storm|darts]], with some help from [[Status Buff|Ako's]] [[Bullet Time|artifact]].
* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]''
** In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'', Nanoha is shown drilling [[The Gunslinger|Teana]] in the art of doing this consecutively as part of her [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]. This pays off in the final battle, {{spoiler|1=where Teana KOs Wendi by shooting one of her bullets, causing it to explode and the others to go off in a chain reaction}}.
** In ''[[Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'', Arnage uses her [[Gatling Good|Gatlings]] to take down [[Beam Spam]] instead of bothering to dodge.
* Batman does this in [[The Dark Knight|Gotham Knight]], except since he doesn't use guns, he simply punches the bullet out of the air with the armored part of his gauntlet (because, you know, a batarang wouldn't be half as badass). A bullet fired from a high powered sniper rifle, from a train moving at full speed, towards a moving target.
Line 30:
* Panty and [[Evil Counterpart|Scanty]] can both do this in [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]. At one point, Panty does it with a sniper rifle
* Kinji from [[Hidan no Aria]] does this in the final episode to ''redirect an ally's bullet to hit a different target''. Using it to parry bullets aimed for him becomes a virtual trademark of his in the light novels.
* In [[MaiMy-HiME]], Natsuki uses her Element to shoot down many of the projectiles {{spoiler|Shiho's Child}} fires at Mai.
* [[Naruto]] often uses this with kunai or shuriken, the most notable occasion being part of the battle between Sasuke and Itachi in Shippuden. Since both are equipped with [[Evil Eye|Sharingan]], each deflects the other's dozens of shuriken, which pile on the floor between them.
 
Line 70:
** That's just silly. [[Schlock Mercenary|We all know]] that there must be only one more "anti" than "missile" or nothing happens. Clearly, ''Get Smart'' had the anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-missile-missile-missile-missile.
* A standard part of [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|DekaRed's]] fighting style.
* [[Myth BustersMythBusters]] tested a version of this, specifically if two Minié balls collided, would they fuse together. The answer was eventually yes but trying to get the two rounds to hit deliberately proved to be near impossible. Their plausible conclusion was reached on the basis that it might have happened by accident given the volley fire tactics of the period the Minié came from.
** They did however prove you could fuse two Minié balls together.
* Done in the "Modern Warfare" (1.23) episode of Community, the gets {{spoiler|Britta and Chang}} out when their paintballs collide in midair, spraying them both with paint.
