History Main / MoreDakka

* Comicbook/WarMachine has been adding more and more guns to his armor. For an illustration of the result, check out the picture for the ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill trope. For a while, Rhodey's armor had the capability to magnetically lock any piece of machinery to itself, meaning he could repurpose any weapon he found from downed enemies or destroyed vehicles. Even at his current, normal weapon loadout, he's more heavily armed than pretty much any Marvel hero.

* ComicBook/IronMan of course used the War Machine at one point, and while not quite as stacked as the specialty armors even the typical Iron Man armor is loaded with weapons. A one-shot from a few years ago had the onboard computer engaging "*** It, Fire Everything!" mode.

* ''Comicbook/XForce'' (Kyle & Yost run)) #14. The team is in an alternate post-Apocalyptic future and surrounded. Insane Future Deadpool's response is [[http://www.4thletter.net/gavok/deadpool/14.jpg more handgun dakka]].
* ''Comicbook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd'' has a prime example in the form of the Expunger, a gun that consists, essentially, of multiple Vulcan cannons strapped together.

* ComicBook/{{Cable}} frequently carries multiple large firearms, often with an excessive number of nonsensically placed magazines. He usually fires a lot of bullets out of them. Many of the future weapons he carried were just as ridiculous.
* Freaking ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'' pulled this off in his first appearance in the [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Universe]]. With a ''bow and arrows''. ImprobableAimingSkills doesn't cover the amount of people he takes down.

* Notably averted and subverted during the run of ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'', where machine gun wielding mooks who graduated from the [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship]] either always miss or never inflict more than [[OnlyAFleshWound a flesh wound]], and all the named characters use either pistols or rifles that fire one shot at a time are much more effective. And the ''ultimate'' weapons in all the cosmos are a simple pair of late 1800s Colt Revolvers... if you can call a pair of guns forged by [[{{Satan}} the Devil himself]] from the melted down essence of [[TheGrimReaper the first Angel of Death's sword]] and designed to [[AlwaysAccurateAttack never miss]], [[BottomlessMagazines never run out of ammo]], and always inflict a lethal wound simple. And just for added fun, those guns are in the hands of an ImplacableMan who doesn't even flinch from a direct hit from a nuke.[[note]]He even invoked this trope's subversion when he walked out of the mushroom cloud: "''Not enough gun.''"[[/note]] ''[[SchmuckBait You]]'' [[SchmuckBait tell him he's not packing enough dakka]].
* During [[ComicBook/{{Azrael}} Jean-Paul Valley]]'s tenure as Franchise/{{Batman}}, he had a shuriken launcher built into his metallic gauntlets. By the time he reaches his final armor upgrade, it's magazine-fed and its settings reach a point where it could probably cleave a man in half (it certainly did its targets)
* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': This is basically the only way to take out the Dark Judges since being reanimated corpses they don't feel pain. Just keep shooting until there's nothing left and pray you have something to capture their spirits with. Judge Fire is even worse because he's ([[MeaningfulName obviously]]) also [[RequiredSecondaryPowers immune]] to the Lawgiver's [[KillItWithFire incendiary bullets]].

* In the WeirdWest ''Comicbook/JusticeLeague'' Elseworld ''ComicBook/JusticeRiders'', Comicbook/BoosterGold, having been rejected as part of [[Comicbook/WonderWoman Sheriff Prince]]'s posse in favour of [[Comicbook/TheFlash Wally "Kid Flash" West]], asks the proprieter of [[Comicbook/BlueBeetle Beetle]]'s Machines and Weapons if he has anything that might cancel out the Kid's [[QuickDraw speed advantage]]. The next time we see him he has a chest-mounted machine gun that turns an entire squad of Maxwell Lord's automatons into a pile of scrap metal, and has much the same effect on the room they were in.

* Used gruesomely in ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/90939/1/shell-shock/the-tower Shell Shock]]'', where the heavy machine guns are used to massacre POW's.
* Jago tries this on Lind during the ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' fic ''Fanfic/AhArchfall'', using an Iowa Class battleship, which as it turned out was distraction for an orbital strike. All it does is piss her off.
* The Dreadnought from ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'' is built entirely around this trope. It seems unarmed at first glance, until it reveals its extremely powerful hidden arsenal. It's actually described as carrying [[LampshadeHanging "enough guns to make an Ork blush."]]. And during the final battle, the ship unleashes ''[[RuleOfCool Super Duper Mega Ultra Extreme Wizard Mode]]'' -- turning it into a flying mass of guns and missile launchers that promptly massacres an entire Demon battle group. While playing the 1812 Overture at full volume.
** Eric the Hedgehog's character basically revolves around this trope. His Super form, rather than giving him new powers or speed like Sonic, allows him to ''conjure gigantic guns out of thin air'' via ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve.

* Quite common in the ''Fanfic/TheTerminatorsArmyOfLegend'' series, but memorable during Commander Alex Vaughn and Commander [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]]'s first encounter with the ''Maxian'' Elite Officers and the ''Maxian'' military commander, named General "Necro" in the third volume. Due to their mutations, the Elites can heal injuries alarmingly quick, the only way to kill them is to almost literally fill them with lead. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d as Alex responds to this trope directly.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Cenotaph}}'' while considering how a Thinker might be a more dangerous opponent, Taylor decides the best answer is "''More bees''."
* ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'': Ebony shoots at Snape and Lupin "a gazillion times" for spying on her in her bathroom. She also has the [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy aiming ability of an ork]] since all she manages to do is break the lens of their camera.

* The ''Fanfic/AllGuardsmenParty'' are firm believers in solving problems by shooting them with extreme prejudice, and the more firepower they can bring to bear, the better. Heavy, Tink and Twitch are the usual suspects.
-->Our 'experiments' had established that las fire and grenades didn't do much to the shield, but since we were guardsmen we felt sure that enough faith and firepower could solve anything. We set up positions around the shield and started continuously plinking las fire into it, because when you have a fusion reactor to recharge your cells from you might as well lay down some indiscriminate suppressive fire.
* ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'': In chapter 11, the British Ministry of Defense is reviewing an [=SA80A2=] rifle modified by the equestrians. It has BottomlessMagazines, and lots of other enchantments, including enough rate of fire increase and recoil mitigation to let the user [[ImprobableAimingSkills sign their name on a target at 400 yards]] at something like 1000 rounds per minute.

* The Korean animated movie ''Animation/AachiAndSsipak'' cannot go a single fight scene without a ridiculous number of bullets flying in every direction, even if there are only two unarmed targets.

* "Another One Bites The Dust" by Music/{{Queen|Band}} is as fine an example of this trope as you can ask for. Machine guns are already ready to go by line 4 and go they do for the rest of the song.

* One of the Graboids in ''Film/Tremors1'' makes the fatal decision to bust into the basement of the local gun nut. The firearms enthusiast, assisted by [[BattleCouple his wife]], summarily proceeds to unleash his entire private arsenal on the thing. ¡Starting with submachine guns and assault rifles, moving through other submachine guns and assault rifles, bolt-action rifles, dual-wielding pistols, and finally two shots from a ''massive'' elephant gun to deliver the coup-de-grace. If anyone ''might'' have enuff dakka, it's Burt Gummer

* ''Manga/BungoStrayDogs'': Chuuya Nakahara uses this trope in a somewhat unusual manner as he doesn't use a gun but does use bullets. He utilizes his GravityMaster powers to rain these hundreds of bullets down on enemies at one point, similarly to the Mami example mentioned above.

May result in a MultipleGunshotDeath. See MacrossMissileMassacre, which is basically this except with missiles, and BulletHell, which is the LogicalExtreme version of this trope in video games. If dealing with energy weapons (IE: weapons powered by electrical/plasma/etc instead of bullets), its counterpart is BeamSpam. Contrast ImprobableAimingSkills, when a character uses amazing accuracy instead of volume of fire. Also contrast AmmunitionConservation, when a character shows restraint regarding how much ammunition they use. JustForFun/NotToBeConfusedWith ''UsefulNotes/{{baka}}'', as there certainly IS such a thing as [[TooDumbToLive too much]] ''[[TooDumbToLive baka]]''. Also not to be confused with Dhaka.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Prolecto Prolecto]] has this used as a solution to deal with Sonya, who is ImmuneToBullets. [[spoiler: It manages to disable her, for a bit.]]

-->At the point in time when bullets can pass through the interdimensional walls, when firepower takes up the entirety and eternity of space and time, all being stuck in a neverending life and death cycle as bullets recover and destroy their bodies in quick succession, while nobody can think of anything but the sheer force of the bullets flying literally everywhere in the Materium, turning the Warp itself into nothing but a sea of semi-automatic weaponry... then there will be enough dakka. [{{beat}}] Or at least almost.

* ''[[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/hybrid-hive-eat-shard-worm-mgln-complete.55056/ Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard]]'': Since Leviathan is extremely fast, and her bindings won't hold him for more than a moment, Taylor ''floods'' him from all sides with bullets carrying a spell similar to Flechette's power, and even deliberately randomises her aim slightly.

* Freaking ''Hawkeye'' pulled this off in his first appearance in the [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Universe]]. With a ''bow and arrows''. ImprobableAimingSkills doesn't cover the amount of people he takes down.
* The Amazing Fantasy volume 2 headliner ''Vegas'' featured Sixgun, a member of the mutant gang Vegas used to run with. He's got six different handguns on his person, and with the help of his powers, likes to use them all at once; the first time he shows this off to the reader, he ''obliterates'' a cactus.
* [[TheWorfBarrage As proof of how tough]] TheJuggernaut is, in the two-part story where Franchise/SpiderMan fought him for the first time, a SWAT team set a roadblock for the villain on a city street, and when he refused to halt, opened fire with machine gun fire that the narration called "enough to reduce a house to splinters". But it didn't even slow him down.

* In the ''Legion of the Damned'' books by William C. Dietz, it's far enough in the future that humanity is a highly advanced interstellar space-faring species. Yet humans don't have devastating energy weapons, hyper-velocity coil guns or enormous boxy guns with explosive ammo. Instead human infantry have opted for rapid-fire to the point where most handguns are actually machine pistols. For the most elite soldiers, the WeaponOfChoice is the Axer Arms L-40 Assault Weapon (a.k.a the AXE). This is a caseless 4.7mm gun if the [=HK=] G-11 and the [=FN=] P-90 had a child. It has single-fire, burst and full auto modes. 3-round burst mode can go 600 rounds a minute while full auto is at 2000 rpm.

* ''TabletopGame/{{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. Its 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 ''Film/Underworld2003'' films are fond of this. The prequel, ''[[Film/UnderworldRiseOfTheLycans Rise of the Lycans]]'', is excepted for [[HistoricalFantasy obvious reasons]].

[-[[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!]][[labelnote:Translation]]It is widely accepted that the theoretical state of "too much dakka" is physically impossible. This implies that the state of "enough dakka" is equally impossible, as adding any more to "enough" creates "too much". Therefore, there is ''always'' room for More Dakka and to say otherwise [[InsaneTrollLogic is simply offensive to logic]]. [[TemptingFate If you proceed to do so anyway]], I will feed you to my Squiggoth.[[/labelnote]]-]

* In K.C. Alexander's [=SINless=] books, corporate mercs of [=MetaCore=] favoured the Sauger 877 assault rifle (Sauger was a subsidiary of [=MetaCore=] ). It's 5.56mm caseless rounds aren't that impressive individually but it can dump 500 rounds in only a few seconds, allowing it to shred even armoured targets. This makes it a weapon of choice for leading with cyborgs that have gone "necro".

* In the ''Legion of the Damned'' books by William C. Dietz, it's far enough in the future that humanity is a highly advanced interstellar space-faring species.

* In the ''Legion of the Damned'' books by William C. Dietz, it's far enough in the future that humanity is an interstellar space-faring species and have such technological marvels as androids and whatnot. Yet humans don't have devastating death-ray energy weapons or hyper-velocity coil guns or even a really chunky gun with explosive ammo. Instead human infantry have opted for dumping a lot of bullets. Most handguns are actually machine pistols and the

** As part of its SerialEscalation, the film takes what was a survival horror film and adds machingun-toting space marines into the mix.
** Ripley's tapes a flame thrower to a pulse rifle in preparation for her confrontation with the Alien Queen.

* ''Franchise/StarWars''
** This is a guaranteed strategy when going up against a Jedi knight since, although they can reflect blaster bolts, you swarm them with enough they can’t keep up and will fall over dead as shown in ''Film/StarWarsRevengeOfTheSith'' when the clone troopers overwhelm their former Jedi generals with nothing but heavy blaster fire.

* Everyone knows that in a fight between a [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi]] and someone with a blaster, the Jedi is going to win; simply put, the Force allows them to react faster than the person can shoot, even on full-auto, and deflect their blaster shots. So how exactly could Order 66 be carried out by a bunch of blaster-wielding Clone Troopers? Because there's a ''lot'' of blaster wielding Clone Troopers, and use of this trope overwhelms even a Jedi's ability to react, especially when [[InTheBack caught from behind]]. Averted in pretty much [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy every other use in the film series, ever]].

* In the WeirdWest ''Comicbook/JusticeLeague'' Elseworld ''Justice Riders'', Comicbook/BoosterGold, having been rejected as part of [[Comicbook/WonderWoman Sheriff Prince]]'s posse in favour of [[Comicbook/TheFlash Wally "Kid Flash" West]], asks the proprieter of [[Comicbook/BlueBeetle Beetle]]'s Machines and Weapons if he has anything that might cancel out the Kid's [[QuickDraw speed advantage]]. The next time we see him he has a chest-mounted machine gun that turns an entire squad of Maxwell Lord's automatons into a pile of scrap metal, and has much the same effect on the room they were in.

Related to WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer, more dakka is a SubTrope of SpamAttack, but with bullets. The name comes from ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', where it is the Ork onomatopoeia for machine gun firing, and their general term for rapid fire capacity: "dakka-dakka-dakka-dakka...". Inverse of AmmunitionConservation, where the priority is to utilize the absolute ''least'' dakka necessary.

* In ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "The Best of Both Worlds", we see that the Enterprise-D can, indeed, boast impressive dakka. If only someone besides [[TheWorfBarrage Worf]] pulled the trigger. We do get to see it in action in the GrandFinale of ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' with [[BattleMedic Crusher]] at the controls.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* In World War II, some B-25 Mitchell and B-26 Marauder twin-engine bombers were built with a solid nose containing up to 12 .50-caliber machine guns, all firing straight ahead. One .50-cal can destroy a truck with a few rounds; twelve all firing together could sink a small ship with gunfire alone.
* The F-4 Phantom II was designed without a gun because it was believed at the time that air-to-air missiles removed the need for jets to carry them anymore. Experiences in the Vietnam War (where many F-4s were shot down due to inadequacies in both American missiles and American air combat doctrine) led to the attempt to fix the lack of a gun by mounting an external machine gun pod onto it, using one of the rails normally used to carry missiles. The gun was a 7.62 mm minigun, which proved to have insufficient firepower by itself compared to the 20 mm cannons used by Vietnamese aircraft, as well as suffering from accuracy issues. So they tried mounting more guns on the F-4 -- up to ''fifteen'' in some cases, which meant that it was capable of firing around 22,000 rounds of ammunition off in less than thirty seconds!
** Later models of the F-4 got rid of the external guns in favor of an internal 20mm Gatling-type cannon.
* The Phalanx CIWS is definitely this. Imagine a minigun mounted to a ship that locks onto just about anything really, ''really'' quickly and has a large dome on top, and is designed to shoot down missiles. Not to mention the absurd fire rate.
* The ultimate in airborne dakka has to be the GAU-8/A 30mm Gatling-type cannon carried by the A-10 Thunderbolt II (aka the 'Warthog'). The GAU-8 is the size of a Volkswagen Bug and fires shells the size of a milk bottle at up to sixty rounds per ''second''. It was designed to kill tanks, and does its job very well[[note]]Assuming that the pilot is able to get into an ideal position that is, considering that tests on ''outdated'' tanks showed that the GAU-8 can mission-kill them at best. [[TechnologyMarchesOn Now consider that anti-air defenses have improved since then...]][[/note]].
