History Main / MoreDakka

** The guns in ''{{Shadowrun}}'' are a neverending parade of MoreDakka, especially if supplimented with magic. For instance, a starting sorcerer can, with very little difficulty, simultaneously fire six [=SMGs=] on full auto, which is scary. Then there's the Victory Autocannon, which is a giant minigun that shoots ''assault cannon ammunition'' on full auto. It's the kind of weapon you use if you want to be able to shred tanks into little ribbons.

* ''{{Predator}}''. You know the scene I mean.
** If you don't, well... they [[spoiler:cut down a good chunk of jungle with their entire arsenal of rapid-fire guns and grenade launchers]]. Jungle? What jungle?

* In Modern Warfare 2 in multiplayer, use the Mini Uzi, Bling,and attach faster fire and akimbo as the gun's attachments. Now run into a room full of enemies, and open fire. Sure, this eats up ammo like nobody's business, but DAMN is it fun!

* Similarly to the AA-12, the Russian manufactured Saiga 12 is a detachable magazine fed semi automatic shotgun which can and has been modified for fully automatic fire. Since its operation is similar to the Kalashnikov series, it is capable of firing 600 rounds per minute. 20 and 30 round drum magazines are available. It was featured on the show ''Deadliest Warrior'' being used by the Spetsnaz against the Green Berets, giving them an edge leading to a very marginal victory. The weapon there was featured in a non fully automatic version.

[[caption-width:338:[[SaturdayNightLive Guess what?]] [[ChristopherWalken I gotta fever, and the only prescription is more dakka!]]]]

--> '''Hudson''' ''Hey Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you. Check it out. Independently targeting Particle-beam Phalanx. VWAP! Fry half a city with this puppy..''

* In {{Matthew Reilly}}'s book Scarecrow, the bounty hunting group IG-88 use electrically powered guns that supposedly fire at 10000rpm. That is 167 rounds every second, at least five times more than the average assault rifle's magazine capacity. Enough Dakka for you?
** No. Never Enuff Dakka.
** His third novel featured the (real) G11, referred to throughout as a 'supermachine gun'. The above example, from a later book, is referred to as a 'hypermachine gun'.

* In World War One, a real-life More Dakka involving the Vickers Machine Gun (mentioned above) happened at High Wood in 1916 where the 100th Machine Gun Corps and their ten machine guns fired ''continuously'' for ''12 hours'', stopping only for reloads and barrel changes. In total over a million rounds of ammunition were expended and the guns didn't jam once. Maybe even Enuff Dakka?
** ''Never'' enuff dakka, but a noble attempt at it, nonetheless.

* In ''GhostInTheShell'', section 9 understand the need for moar dakka. In a world full of cyborgs and mid-size mecha, simply shoting something doesn't slow down most opponents. While Saito mustly uses uses huge .50 cal rifles, but the Major and Batou go for full auto guns that can shred an enemy into tiny little pieces.
** Togusas little [[HandCannon .44 magnum revolver]] is often rediculed by his teammates and in one scene is unable to stop a cyborg from killing a woman.
** In one episode of ''StandAloneComplex''' a small team infiltrates a black market on an old oil rig, disgusing themselves as just another gang of mercenaries. When they are discovered and fired upon with rifles by the terrorist they are after, they employ their backup of a spider mecha with a [[GatlingGood vulcan cannon!]]
** In [[TheMovie the movie]], the car the Major is chasing after, is guarded by an even bigger SpiderTank that is armed with '''two''' gatling guns.

** On a less severe note Tamaki of the Black Knights after getting shot down dozens of times during the series enters the final battle with one of every type of weapon the Knights use attached to his mecha (generally they stick to one or two weapons based on the type of battle) and dual wielding melee weapons. Of course this actually makes things worse and he's downed even faster

* Though ''{{Naruto}}'' [[FantasyGunControl doesn't have any guns]], the villains in the first movie applied this to ''kunai'': they had train-carried racks which look like something made by Metal Storm (see below) except is shoots ''kunai'', one of which had ''a hand-crank''.
** Most likely to revive the greatness of the first movie, the fifth not only reintroduces steampunk and kunai spamming firearms, but several other chakra powered sci-fi weapons in a battle scene that looked like a remake of Pearl Harbor. Too bad the rest of the movie couldn't hold that level.

* In ''YozakuraQuartet'', Kotoha Isone is a girl that can [[GreenLanternRing summon anything by emphasizing the name of the object]]. Being a gun nut with a focus on German WW2 hardware, this leads to anything from machine guns ("Machinenpistolen, DADADADADADADADADADADADA...!") to Flak88(s!). And at one point even [[{{BFG}} a railway gun]]! If she was a man, one could claim she was compensating for something.

* ''s-CRY-ed'' has Hannish Lightning, at least in the manga, whose Alter is a gun. Then lots of guns. Then when he hits top rank, his entire BODY is guns. Attached to guns. Quite possibly firing guns which shoot you as they hurtle towards you. As Asuka Tachibana commented, "I've got the balls, Akira's got the rod, and Hannish aint shooting blanks!"

* {{Superman}} : At Earth's End has a prime example of MoreDakka in the form of the Expunger, a gun that consists, essentially, of multiple vulcan cannons strapped together.

* ''TheMatrix'' likes this one. Start with "Guns. ''Lots'' of guns." Quickly follow that to the helicopter minigun scene, complete with gratuitous SlowMotion shots devoted to the shell casings tumbling earthward. Pick it back up in the sequels, from the huge machine guns mounted on Zion's resident HumongousMecha, all the way down to Mouse [[GunsAkimbo dual-wielding]] huge ''automatic shotguns'' [[spoiler:in his heroic death]]. It's plain that the Wachowskis understand the need for dakka. This trope is also used unsuccesfully in ''Reloaded'' against Neo, who doesn't need to DodgeTheBullet anymore, so it makes no difference how many there are.

* One of the Graboids in ''{{Tremors}}'' makes the fatal decision to bust into a basement of the local gun nut. Of course one would be worried that the gun nut is about to bite it.. until you see the arsenal of weapons behind him, topped off with a {{BFG}} in the form of a large elephant gun. Then you would be smirking, just knowing that the Graboid is about to be owned. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Royally]].

** And with the latest game, the starting weapon on your plane? A machine gun. That can be fitted with a maximum of like five barrels, which is pretty good when you're loading it onto something that has to be able to fly. (And the Vulcan Fury is back, with rebounding bullets. Fun for the whole family!)

* The Terran Republic weapons in ''{{Planetside}}'' are built around this trope. Their heavy assault gun is a miniature chaingun, and their rifle's tracers look like lasers because they fire so damn ''fast''. And they have a 5 man armored truck with 4 20mm guns on it. {{So yeah}}

** Togusas little [[HandCanon .44 magnum revolver]] is often rediculed by his teammates and in one scene is unable to stop a cyborg from killing a woman.

* In ''GhostInTheShell'', section 9 understand the need for moar dakka.

Compare SpamAttack, ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks, StormOfBlades, MacrossMissileMassacre, BeamSpam, AutomaticCrossbows (for settings that pre-date gunpowder or where FantasyGunControl is in effect, {{BFB}}, PointDefenseless (systems based around this concept), BulletHell (you on the receiving end), RoarDakka.

* The legendary clockwork pistol, Red Dragon, from ''{{Fable}} 2'' is essentially this trope personified. It shoots as fast as you can spam the fire button and reloads all six shots in 0.75 sec. And since ammunition is unlimited in this game... SoYeah.

* HalfLife never really had an example of this trope, except for the expansion pack Opposing Force. The M249 PARA LMG had a 50 round clip, insanely powerful shots... It put the toughest enemies in the game to true shame, and could wipe out the final boss in less than one whole clip. More Dakka indeed.

**In the new downloadbale content pack there is a gun called "The Chopper" that fires its entire 536 round magazine with ONE PRESS OF ITS TRIGGER. That is the definiton of Dakka right there.

** Michael-lan menions this trope ''by name'':

** Again in [[WorldWarZ]]. Machine guns, rockets, antitank shells, and the like prove ineffective against zombies in the battle of Yonkers: zombies don't dive for cover against machine gun fire, aren't bothered by shrapnel or overpressure effects from explosives, and so on. Therefore, all the modern world's top firepower platforms become useless (no more TankGoodness, no more BigDamnGunship, sure as HELL no more HelmetMountedSight. To keep you from being depressed we will throw in some FrickinLaserBeams) and the ultimate day to day weapon in the fight against zombies becomes...the semi-automatic rifle (DAKKA NOT ALLOWED! One shot per second, steady, aimed.) and a [[AnAxeToGrind battle axe]] welded together from [[ImprovisedWeapon scrap metal]].

ImprobableAimingSkills are all very well, but sometimes -- perhaps because your foe can DodgeTheBullet, perhaps because you need to mow down a whole army of {{Mook}}s at once, perhaps because you just really, ''really'' like the sound of your [[DawnOfWar Shoota]] -- you need to throw a wall of bullets at the target. Modern automatic weapons can achieve rates of fire that can only be described as "[[SpamAttack bullet spam]]", and the more guns you're using, the more dakka you can put out. After all, ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill.

The bullet form of the SpamAttack. [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks Thrown swords]], missiles and lasers come as StormOfBlades, MacrossMissileMassacre and BeamSpam, respectively. In settings that pre-date gunpowder or where FantasyGunControl is in effect, AutomaticCrossbows can be used instead. For explosions, compare {{BFB}}. Most PointDefenseless systems are based around this concept. BulletHell shooters put you on the receiving end.

* Honorable mention must go to the straight-to-DVD (Not only straight-to-DVD, it made it to cinemas in the UK) ''{{Ultraviolet}}''. It had it's flaws but the heroine, through the use of extradimensional space/folding technology almost achieves enuff [[MoreDakka dakka]].

** Comes into play in "The Poison Sky". Humans with automatic rifles overwhelm Sontarans with slow-firing lasers.

**In a humorous version of this trope, at the end of "Bane," Teal'c gives Ally a new, larger, squirt gun. After she soaks him with it and runs off, he produces a yet larger one and runs after her.
