High-velocity [[MagneticWeapon Magnetic Weapons]] are [[JustifiedTrope going to have significantly less recoil for their size]] (as kinetic energy scales to the square of velocity but momentum and thus recoil only scales linearly), but any [[BigFuckingGun sufficiently powerful]] or [[MoreDakka rapid firing]] weapons would go back to this trope.

* ''Film/TrueLies'', when Creator/JamieLeeCurtis' character attempts to fire a MAC-10 at the terrorists -- and completely loses control of the weapon due to its recoil, sending it tumbling down a flight of stairs, [[ShurFineGuns firing by itself all the way down]]. Not only that, she actually killed a bunch of people in the process.

** Despite how quickly he fires subsequent shots, the recoil is enough to make [[VideoGame/StarFox Fox']] Blaster point 90 degrees upwards. Falco's, on the other hand, has very little recoil, though he does [[RuleOfCool cross his arms and hold it sideways]]. Wolf's has very little recoil. They're all energy weapons, however, and should have none.

* ''Film/MenInBlack'' has an absurdly tiny gun called the Noisy Cricket. When Agent J fires it, the recoil tosses him into a car several parking spots behind his firing position. In [[WesternAnimation/MenInBlack the animated series]], J gets [[HollywoodSilencer a silencer of sorts]] that reduces the recoil.
