In [[Real Life]], any gunshot can kill, especially if left alone long enough to get horribly infected. But those who get buttshot are ''relatively'' fortunate -- the hindquarters are a large, fleshly target without many blood vessels, and it's not too close to any major organs -- a wound is unlikely to cause permanent damage provided the round wasn't ridiculously large. (And gentlemen, we don't mean ''[[Groin Attack|those]]'' organs, however dear to you they may be; we mean ''really'' vital things like your heart and lungs).

** ''Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu'': The trope is [[Played for Laughs]]. The boys are trying to spy on the girls while they are in the hot spring, Kurz is shot in the buttocks with a laser and loses the ability to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|to go on]] and must leave it to Shinji to protect the male honor.

* ''[[Mad Bull 34]]'': Happens to Sleepy during a gunfight, just when he mentions how it's [[Tempting Fate|fortunate that he's wearing a bulletproof vest]].

* Happens to Amata in ''[[Aquarion Evol]]'' a few times to stop him from floating/his emotions getting out of control.

* In one ''[[City Hunter]]'' story, Ryo gets [http://www.batoto.net/read/_/42651/city-hunter_v7_ch25.1_by_manga-daisuki/16 shot in the rear] by the person targeting the [[Idol Singer]] he's been hired to protect.

'''{{spoiler|Dangerfield}}''': Ha, your wrong Doc, he shot me in the ass!! }}

* ''[[Shrek]]'' gets an arrow in his ass in the first film. Fiona forcefully yanks it out, much to his discomfort.

* ''Cradle To The Grave'', Anthony Anderson congratulates someone for shooting a Helicopter in the rear via "YEAH! YOU SHOT HIM IN THE ASS!!!"

While everybody sits down, the man remains standing with a straight face, until someone points out he can't sit down and giggles.

'''{{spoiler|Jake}}''': Yeah, and the next one ''will'' kill you. }}

* A Scottish pikeman gets this treatment in ''[[Braveheart]]''. Turns out mooning the English archers wasn't such a good idea after all. (As well as being one of many of the [[You Fail History Forever|violations of historical fact depicted in that film]].)

* The protagonist of the ''51st State'' is shot in the arse by a [[Almost-Lethal Weapons|suddenly less dangerous]] high velocity rifle. It appears to be about as [[Only a Flesh Wound|damaging as an airgun]], despite having killed a bunch of guys moments before. Even [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] couldn't really pull that one off.

* In the [[Western]] ''That Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend,'' the heroine continually shoots at her no-good boyfriend-- only to perpetually hit the ''town judge'' in the butt.

* Two from ''[[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]]'' one only threatened:

"It's not funny, furball. It hurts." }}

{{quote| "Many's the night when I was a boy, Danny, I've gone into the kitchen and seen my old dad lying face down on the table and Mum standing over him digging the gunshots pellets out of his backside with a potato-knife. [...] Towards the end, he was so covered in tiny little white scars he looked exactly like it was snowing."<br />

<br />

<br />

* In ''Flash For Freedom!'', [[Flashman]] is shot in the ass by slave hunters while crossing the Ohio river with a fugitive slave (and accidentally inspiring ''Uncle Tom's Cabin.'') Most of Flashman's battle scars happen to be in the rear, for [[Dirty Coward|logical reasons]].

* [[City of Thieves]], where it's not played for laughs.

** Not to mention Perconte in "Breaking Point".

* Discussed in ''[[The Wire]]'' while Omar's in court testifying against Bird.

{{quote| '''Omar''': That wasn't no attempt murder. ... I shot the boy Mike-Mike in his hind parts, that all. Fixed it so he couldn't sit right.<br />

'''Omar''': We had a disagreement. Mike-Mike thought he should keep that cocaine he was slinging, and the money he was making from slinging it. I thought otherwise. }}

* ''[[NCIS]]'': Gibbs inflicts on a poacher. It's strongly implied it's on purpose.

* ''[[MASH]]'': Happens to a couple of people. Including Colonel Potter.

** It's worth mentioning that getting shot in the ass actually drives the plot for the entire game.

* If you managed to land a shot on an enemy's buttocks in ''[[Perfect Dark]]'', [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|they'd do this awesome little hop and stagger about awkwardly for a few seconds]].

* In ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', the creators gave a unique [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Arse-shooting_crossbow arse-shooting crossbow] to a player. Strangely, the "[http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Shot_in_the_Arse Shot in the Arse]" effect it bestows is beneficial. It even comes complete with a ''[[Braveheart]]'' reference:

{{quote| This crossbow looks like it'd be perfect for shooting people in the arse. Y'know, like that one scene in Braveheart where that guy gets shot in the arse? Like that.}}

* In [[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim]], the owner of the "Drunken Huntsman" explains the name of his shop as coming from an incident when he and his brother had gone hunting after consuming "a bit too much mead." When they separated, his brother, in his inebriated state, mistook him for a deer...and shot him in the "rump" with an arrow.

** At least it wasn't [[Memetic Mutation|his knee]].
