Line 7:
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion (Film)|Rebuild of Evangelion]]'': Unit 01 fires an Eva-sized [[Gatling Good|gatling gun]] at Shamshel, raining spent cartridges on the street below, one of which flattens a car.
* In ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|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.
* Shows up in ''[[Hellsing]]'' at times.
Line 39:
{{quote| '''Adam''': "I'm no, like, crime scene investigator, but I strongly suspect that someone's been firing a gun in the vicinity of this car."}}
** And that time they were trying to shoot an escape hole through a piece of flooring.
* ''[[Sons of Guns (TV)|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.
 
 
Line 60:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The [[Gatling Good|minigun]] on the Warthog in ''[[Halo]]''.
* The Heavy's minigun(s) in ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' notably ejects shells ''out of a solid plane of the model''.
* ''[[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''.
* Used as an ''attack'' by the fifth boss in the [[Shoot'Em Up]] game ''[[Nineteen Forty Two (Video Game)|19XX]]''. After firing out its rapid machine cannon weapon, it ejects out the shells forward, ''at your character''! [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|You will die if you get hit by them]], but thankfully, they are destructible. (Starts at 4:13 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SIcc87PEsk here])
* ''[[Starcraft II]]'': When {{spoiler|Valerian Mengsk invades Char}} General Warfield is desperately holding a position against the Zerg and this trope is used to show exactly how many different kinds of fucked he and his men are, since with all the [[More Dakka|dakka]] they are generating it isn't doing a damn thing against the Zerg.
* ''[[Max Payne (Video Gameseries)|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''.
* ''[[Streets of Rage]]'' final boss is Mr. X, apparently the only guy in the city to have a firearm, and an impressive tommy-gun at that. Killing him sends his corpse to the ground in a hail of casings.
Line 75:
 
== Webcomic ==
* One ''[[Turn Signals Onon 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.
 
 
Line 83:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'': Rhinox makes a pretty epic pile of spent shells at his feet while trying to cover Rattrap and Dinobot (who are, of course, fighting) to get in the base.
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'': in "Robo-Samurai vs Mondo Bot", Mondo Bot fires its [[More Dakka|Machine Guns]] at Robo-Samurai.
* ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]'': when the H.M.E.R. uses its [[Arm Cannon|arm]] [[Gatling Good|gatling guns]].
