* The lucky shot variety is subverted in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0436.html this strip]] of ''{{The Order of the Stick}}''.

* [[DoctorWho The Doctor]] pulled this off at one point. He threw a cricket ball, and it bounced around all over the place. Admittedly the effect bordered on a Rube Goldberg device instead of this trope, but it probably still counts. Not only that, but he did it while his Time Lord mind was entirely suppressed and he believed that he was human.

* In ''[[{{VIP}} V.I.P.]]'', Vallery Irons tried imitating Xena with her headband, took off her headband and threw it. Four enemies knocked out [[ArmorIsUseless despite wearing a helmet]]. At least she [[AccidentalAimingSkills was impressed]].

* In ''TheThiefAndTheCobbler'', the titular Cobbler Tack sends a tack ricocheting during the final battle. It eventually hits EvilChancellor Zig-Zag's horse, who launches Zig-zag off its back, which causes his sword to cut a rope, [[RobinsonGoldbergContraption which activates a catapult...]]

* The aptly-named Ricochet Stone subweapon that appears in a few games of the ''Castlevania'' series.

* CaptainAmerica's shield.

* And speaking of ''{{TRON}}'', the game ''TRON 2.0'' gives you the legendary Disc as your primary weapon. Bouncing shots off the floor or walls is one of the best ways to control them over longer distances.

* In TheThiefAndTheCobbler, the titular Cobbler Tack sends a tack ricocheting during the final battle. It eventually hits EvilChancellor Zig-Zag's horse, who launches Zig-zag off its back, which causes his sword to cut a rope, [[RobinsonGoldbergContraption which activates a catapult...]]

* In ''V.I.P.'', Vallery Irons tried imitating Xena with her headband, took off her headband and threw it. Four enemies knocked out [[ArmorIsUseless despite wearing a helmet]]. At least she [[AccidentalAimingSkills was impressed]].

* In both 5th edition and 6th edition HeroSystem, you can do this with any ranged attack you have Combat Skill Levels for, unless you specifically take a Limitation on the attack that says otherwise.

* In the Inika arc from {{Bionicle}}, Toa Hewkii gained a Mask of Accuracy. One of the things he did with it was shoot a pebble he created (being the Toa of Stone) and ricochet it off a dozen surfaces before hitting his intended target in the back. CrowningMomentOfAwesome, indeed.

* The Reflective Shot powerup in ''Gauntlet'' games allows players to do this.
* Moon Knight's [[LimitBreak X-Treme attack]] in MarvelUltimateAlliance takes this UpToEleven. Basically, it's this trope combined with MoreDakka, turning the whole screen into a bouncing, ricocheting BulletHell for the enemies. Pretty much an [[GameBreaker instant boss-killer]] too, especially if it's used in an enclosed room.

* Revolver Ocelot in the {{Metal Gear Solid}} series can bounce bullets off the wall to hit the player around corners.
* In ProjectEden you can use the disc launcher to kill enemies around corners. It looks similar to a certain [[{{Tron}} movie]].
* And speaking of {{TRON}}, the game TRON 2.0 gives you the legendary Disc as your primary weapon. Bouncing shots off the floor or walls is one of the best ways to control them over longer distances.

* Jr. from ''Xenosaga'' has a few of these attacks. One of his "normal" attacks in the first game involves flipping a coin and shooting it, hitting an enemy with the ricochet. One of his special attacks, however, involves throwing a handful of coins at the enemies and firing a single bullet, bouncing it off all the coins in order to hit multiple enemies.

* Your main gun in ''Game/{{Dgeneration}} can bounce off up to three walls.

* In [[V.I.P.]], Vallery Irons tried imitating Xena with her headband, took off her headband and threw it. Four enemies knocked out [[ArmorIsUseless despite wearing a helmet]]. At least she [[AccidentalAimingSkills was impressed]].

* In ''V.I.P.'', Vallery Irons tried imitating Xena with her headband, took off her headband and threw it. Four enemies knocked out [[ArmorIsUseless despite wearing a helmet]]. At least she [[AccidentalAimingSkills was impressed]].
