Compare [[Magic Bullets]], [[Murphy's Bullet]], and [[Homing Boulders]] (for those cases where it's not a bullet). [[Pinball Projectile]] describes a specific variant, when something ricochets off multiple objects before hitting its target. A [[Little Useless Gun]] is when some bullets are inexplicably harmless.

== Anime and Manga ==
* Energy/laser weapons in many anime (such as ''[[Transformers Armada]]'' and ''[[Transformers Energon|Energon]]'') will often curve and even zig-zag in extremely sharp angles on their way to their target.

== ComicsComic Books ==
* In the Marvel Universe, ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' mutant Domino has the power to [[Winds of Destiny Change|alter probability]], and prefers to use that ability in conjunction with firearms. She can thus perform outstandingly improbable trick-shots, including multiple-ricochet bulls-eyes against moving targets.
* ''[[Dreamkeepers]]'' uses hyper compressed springs loaded into rifles to fire bullets hard enough to punch through concrete.
* When the [[Runaways]] traveled back in time, they encountered a superpowered gang war. One of the gang members had a gun that could never miss: The bullet would ricochet until it hit it'sits target.
