* [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=33695 Goblin Sharpshooter]] provides an unusual example. It doesn't read very well, but Goblins have a number of sacrificed based mechanics that regularly turned this card into the scariest thing you could face.

* Starting with ''[[DarkerAndEdgier Renegade]]'', the JakAndDaxter games have demonstrated the awesome power of Dakka with at least one gun. ''Renegade'' has the Vulcan Fury, which tends to be AwesomeButImpractical because you keep shooting targets long after they've sustained terminal damage, until you [[strike: run out of ammo]] stop shooting them and they just flop to the ground. Jak 3 turned it UpToEleven with the Needle Laser, which spams tiny electric-blue darts (which don't work like lasers do) that seek out your targets (and sometimes spin around in the air if you've dakka'd out too many); the Beam Reflexor, which has a comparatively low rate of fire until you consider that the beams ricochet around several times, permitting you to ''kill people around corners''; and (the greatest of them all for sheer AwesomeButImpractical) the Gyro Burster, which creates a spinning AttackDrone that spams out ammunition almost nonstop until it shuts down, with a really very satisfying sound. And then Jak X gave us machine guns (which come with absurd amounts of dakka), turrets (which come with absurd amounts of dakka) and an AttackDrone (which...well, YouShouldKnowThisAlready). When you hit full Dark Eco [[FridgeLogic for your car]], the turret takes a retrograde step in the dakka stakes (but hey, seeker missiles are pretty cool too), but the drone and machine gun get even worse for whoever's in their sights, complete with a metallic edge on the machine gun sound effect that makes it sound almost as satisfying as the Gyro Burster. Naughty Dog Software certainly like their dakka.

* ''{{GURPS}}'': Ultratech has the Grav Heavy Needler, a rifle sized weapon that fires 100 explosive armor piercing rounds ''per second'' with superscience stabilizers that give it extreme accuracy and zero recoil. It's average damage causes instant death for a normal human hit by ''a single round'' from up to a mile and a half away. A group of soldiers carrying these have almost begun the approach towards beginning to have enuff dakka.

** The [=SheVa=] guns, and more particularly [=SheVa=] 9 (a.k.a. Bun-bun). Think of a massive tank with a 16-inch gun, like what they put on battleships. And it can fire antimatter. The crew of Bun-bun, in addition to this, took the turrets from a company of [=MetalStorm=] tanks (see below), and mounted them atop ''their'' turret. In ''Hell's Faire'', we also see a project at Oak Ridge that took the SheVa gun and enhanced it to the point that it could reach northern Georgia. Then they fired an anti-matter cluster bomb shell at Rabun Gap.

* Hoshino Makina in ''{{Shikabane Hime}}'' totes around a brace of MAC-11/9mm machine pistols. [[http://www.opusnet.com/guy1656/SMG.mp4 A troper tested one]] to show that fire rate in the anime is similar to the prototype, which would ''still'' have her burn though a significant fraction of her own body weight in ammo during most eposodes.

* ''TheGodfather'' game has Tommygun users that [[DemonicSpiders will tear you a new one very often]]. Fortunately, you can take the Tommyguns away after you kill their users. Usually with a BoomHeadshot. All of the upgrades to your weapons will increase the rate of fire, to the point that the level 3 shotgun "Street Sweeper" is effectively an [[Left4Dead autoshotgun]]. Still, beware ATeamFiring.

* Dakka is the specialty of Minmatar ships in ''EveOnline'' - their ships equip projectile weapons (compare to Amarr lasers and Caldari missiles), and as many of them as possable: either fast, short range autocannons or slower but heavy hitting artillery, and they put out some of the largest raw damage numbers in the game. Caldari and Gallente can use high tech rail guns and blasters but the Gallente blaster ships are the only ones that come out close (the other Gallente specialty, drones, is another trope.)

* World War II resulted in a whole crapload of dakka. For instance, the Japanese developed the ''Yamato''-class battleship. It mounted nine 18.1-inch guns, the biggest naval artillery ever used, six 6-inch guns, ''twenty-four'' 5-inch antiaircraft guns, and over one hundred (one, followed by two zeros) anti-aircraft machineguns (up to 166 after the last modifications.) Ironically, the Japanese actually came ''late'' to the Dakka party (Conservative admirals resisted, rightly fearing the blast effects of the main guns on their exposed crews; ''insufficient'' dakka pretty much describes the entire Japanese war effort in general) but when they finally joined they went whole-hog. Unfortunately for Yamato, her hundreds of machine guns proved to be no match to the thousands of machine guns carried by the aircraft that sank her; concentrated strafing decimated their crews.
