History Main / MultipleGunshotDeath

* This happens to Franchise/{{Lobo}} when he and a rival bounty hunter trade shots from their oversized machine guns. By the end of the fight, Lobo is reduced to almost a skeleton with more shells in him than flesh, before keeling over.
* In ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'', the head of a firing squad tells one particularly despicable criminal that he's so hated, that he'll be buried where he falls. He then explains that since the family of everyone the criminal wronged will be shooting him (the panel shows out to see an entire crowd of people training their guns on him), that he'll be too full of lead to be buried anywhere else.
* In ''ComicBook/ThePunisherWelcomeBackFrank'', one member of the CarnivalOfKillers out to get Frank Castle is a YoungGun wanna-be gunslinger who is agile enough to dodge a bullet fired at him by a policeman when he's introduced. Frank, ever the CombatPragmatist, brings an Uzi to a pistol duel and riddles the gunslinger full of lead, including putting one or more bullets [[BoomHeadshot right through his skull]].

* Often [[ShootingSuperman attempted]] by criminals on Franchise/{{Superman}}.

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* The mobster villains in ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'' often ended up riddled (with neat round bloodless holes) by tommy gun fire. Although tame by modern standards, it was sometimes criticized as overly violent for a comic strip.
** Naturally, this effect was spoofed in the "Fearless Fosdick" comic-within-the-comic of ''ComicStrip/LilAbner''.

* Happened to ComicBook/{{Lobo}}, he and a rival bounty hunter traded shots from their oversized machine guns. By the end of the fight, Lobo was reduced to almost a skeleton with more shells in him than flesh, before keeling over.

* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'': In ''ComicBook/WelcomeBackFrank'', one member of the CarnivalOfKillers out to get Frank Castle is a YoungGun wanna-be gunslinger who is agile enough to dodge a bullet fired at him by a policeman when he's introduced. Frank, ever the CombatPragmatist, brings an Uzi to a pistol duel and riddles the gunslinger full of lead, including putting one or more bullets [[BoomHeadshot right through his skull]].
-->'''Frank''': [[BondOneLiner Dodged one bullet. Not thirty]].

** We see Tracy ''alone'' fire 97 rounds from a 50-round drum magazine.

SisterTrope to DoubleTap and NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, and a SubTrope of ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill. Compare and contrast with RasputinianDeath, which often involves multiple fatal factors, DoubleTap, when a more measured (and well-aimed) version of this is performed (or recommended), ShootingSuperman, when this is a NoSell, and FiveRoundsRapid, which is when Superman does require something a bit bigger than bullets to injure, but the shooters never use anything more powerful than concetrated small arms fire.

* True to its comic strip origins (see above), the 1990 Warren Beatty adaptation of ''Film/DickTracy'' featured plenty of scenes with copious firepower, culminating in the finale when Big Boy's crew of mobsters attempt to break out of being cornered in a nightclub [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MCBUQwqd_0 only to be exterminated by withering police Thompson gun fire.]]

* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', the terrorists shoot Doc dozens of times (probably because they were using machine guns.)

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'': [[spoiler:Orga]] ends up killed by a half-dozen assault rifle rounds to his chest. Before he dies, he's still able to return fire to scare his assailants off, walk a short distance, and give a defiant FinalSpeech [[spoiler:encouraging his subordinates]].

* ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'': A criminal prepares to rob a jewelry store, but ends up walking into the gun store next door due to his pantyhose mask restricting his vision. When he tries to hold up the clerk, the clerk and a couple of customers draw their guns and fill him with bullets.

* ''Film/{{Sleepers}}''. John and Tommy encounter Nokes, one of the men that molested them in reform school. Unfortunately for him they're now adult gangsters who shoot Nokes [[KickTheSonOfABitch multiple times in the arms and legs]] before the CoupDeGrace. However in the book this is inverted, with Nokes killed immediately by a BoomHeadshot and the further shots just being the 'signature' of their gangland hits.

** Happens again when a bomber ([[KickTheSonOfABitch played by Justin Bieber]]) gets shot so many times that the viewer can be sure he is dead. It doubles as RuleOfFunny to see him get shot like that, though.

* ''Series/1000WaysToDie'': A criminal prepares to rob a jewelry store, but ends up walking into the gun store next door due to his pantyhose mask restricting his vision. When he tries to hold up the clerk, the clerk and a couple of customers draw their guns and fill him with bullets.

* ''Film/TheGodfather'', Sonny Corleone, after being LuredIntoATrap by hurting his sister, is viciously tommygunned to death by [[spoiler:Barzini]]'s soldiers in a tollbooth, as pictured above.

* ''Film/TrainingDay'': Alonzo meets his end this way when the Russian mob comes to kill him.

* ''Film/TheGodfather'', Sonny Corleone, after being LuredIntoATrap by means of his BerserkButton, is viciously tommygunned to death by [[spoiler:Barzini]]'s soldiers in a tollbooth, as pictured above.

* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'': The death of the second season's BigBad Kazudo Goda is performed by The Major and Batou unloading two Squad Automatic Weapons onto him at point-blank range ''until he's falling to pieces and his head explodes''.
** It goes without saying that with most of the good ''and'' bad guys of the franchise being cyborgs or using some type of armor, this is often used [[MakeSureHesDead to make damn sure they're dead]].

* Perhaps the [[UpTo11 most extreme]] case in history (if we allow the stretching of definition) would be the 'death' of the battleship Bismarck. After one-shotting HMS Hood, Bismarck parted from the surviving Prince of Wales having taken a number of hits and moderate damage, and 6 days later was finally caught by a Royal Navy battle-group including the battleships King George V and Rodney, who closed in while pounding broadside after broadside into the already crippled Bismarck. All counts indicate well over 100 [[{{BFG}} battleship main battery]] shells (each weighing most of a tonne) hit the Bismarck in that battle, plus many more secondary battery and heavy cruiser shells, plus two torpedoes.

* In ''Film/{{Dillinger}}'', another movie about the Dillinger gang, this is how Homer Van Meter is killed; he gets into a shootout with locals of a small town, then asks for a doctor after being hit. The locals approach, then back up one step, before unloading on him with so much fire that his body becomes obscured by the gunsmoke and dust being kicked up by bullet impacts.
