Spent Shells Shower: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

One way to emphasize [[More Dakka]], or at least how powerful a weapon, is showing all the bullet casings being ejected out of that gun. Expect this to be [[Noisy Guns|noisy]].

{{examples}}

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

* In ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]'' there's a scene in which a civilian, caught in a battle between two mechs, is killed when a mecha-sized empty casing (coming with several others from a mecha-sized machine gun) falls on her head.

* The intro to ''[[Gungrave]]'' features this in a couple of places.

* Deliberately [[Averted Trope|averted]] in the original ''[[Appleseed]]'' manga. [[Word of God|Shiro's notes]] indicate that he thought it would [[Rule of Cool|look cool]] if the E-SWAT members weapons sent spent casings flying everywhere, but he felt that would conflict with the professional nature of their missions, and thus their weapons would have attached pouches to catch spent casings and keep their operation neat.

* In ''[[Space Runaway Ideon]],'' someone on the street gets clobbered by a giant shell casing from a [[Humongous Mecha]]-wielded gun.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* ''[[Gorsky and Butch]]'' recreate the Matrix helicopter scene. Then it shows a street sweeper on the street below, cussing at the sight of the raining shells.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* ''Watchmen'': Nite Owl's ship has a minigun, and a compartment in the floor for catching spent shells.

 

* ''[[Sons of Guns]]'' does this from time to time.

* This makes an appearance in the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' movie ''Ark of Truth''. During the course of the movie Replicators get unleashed on the ''Odyssey''. A group of airmen guard the entrance to the Asgard so Carter and Marks can find the command to shut the Replicators down. By the time they do, the hall way is covered in spent shells and Replicator blocks.

 

== [[Music]] ==

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[Ghost Hunter]]'' the Glock can be fired fast enough to cause an obvious fountain of shiny brass shells. Shows off the graphics, but the Glock is the emergency weapon, so it's not a display of [[More Dakka]].

* The Vulcan cannon in the obscure freeware game ''SUAVE''.

* ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]'': The Ingrams empty their 50 round magazines in about 1.5 seconds, at most, pouring brass onto the ground. And you can fire two at a time.

* ''[[Cortex Command]]'' has some weapons that eject [[More Dakka|lots of casings]], some weapons that eject [[BFG|very large casings]], and some weapons that eject [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|lots of very large casings]]. If a character stays in the same position and shoots for long enough, it's entirely possible to make quite large piles of empty shell casings - that you can then ''walk on''.

* ''[[Battle Garegga]]'' has a playable ship whose special weapon is [[More Dakka]], accompanied by spent shell casings that ''also'' cause massive damage to enemies.

 

* One ''[[Turn Signals on a Land Raider]]'' strip has a Land Raider crew tricked into firing their [[Gatling God|Assault Cannons]] with the top hatch open. A second later, the crew has been buried by a pile of shell casings that fills the tank.

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]'': when the H.M.E.R. uses its [[Arm Cannon|arm]] [[Gatling Good|gatling guns]].
