* This was done very nastily (but not that the guy didn't deserve it) in ''Film/ShutterIsland''. A soon-to-be-captured Nazi officer at the Dachau camp tries to [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled use suicide as an easy way out]], but he [[BungledSuicide bungles it]] and only blows his cheek off. An American soldier finds the Nazi lying on the floor as he's bleeding out and reaching for his dropped gun to try again, only to have the soldier step on it and drag it away.

The soldier step looks from the Nazi on it the floor to the camp's victims that he can see through the window of the office, and drag decides he's not feeling merciful. Instead he steps on the gun and slides it away.away with his foot, moving it only a short distance but well beyond the reach of the officer. The protagonist later recounts it took the officer another hour to die, as he lay there unable to finish himself off, and with none of the Americans inclined to give him a MercyKill.

The concept: Two people are fighting. Either with swords or guns, doesn't matter. One person loses their weapon in the fight and it goes skittering across the floor (usually toward the foreground). That person dives for it or crawls to get it, dramatically... but [[HopeSpot just as their hand]] [[WithinArmsReach reaches out to grab the handle/hilt]] – you see their opponent's foot come down upon the weapon (or on their reaching hand), ending the battle. If the stomper is particularly powerful, expect them to outright [[WreckedWeapon crush the weapon under their heel]].
