History PlayingWith / MoreDakka

** The best strategy is a single, well-placed shot. The best weapon is not determined by rate-of-fire, but by accuracy... Resulting in sniper rifles with a ridiculous amount of stabilizing gear and a scope that resembles nothing so much as the Hubble Space Telescope.

* '''Parodied''': {{Two words|AddedEmphasis}}: [[GunsAkimbo Miniguns Akimbo]]

** [[Film/JackieBrown You absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room]]

* '''Zig Zagged''': (Continued from "Double Subverted") "Machine guns" only shoot one bullet at a time... But "Pistols" immediately have rapidfire.

* '''Exploited''': Only a fraction of the mooks are killed due to the [[ATeamFiring poor accuracy]], RealityEnsues and the ammo runs out sooner then the army expects, one of the mooks is a ColdSniper.

* '''Conversed''': "If real soldiers did that, they'd end up in jail"

* '''Implied''': The heroes cross an empty battlefield littered with spent cartridges and bullet-riddled corpses.

* '''Averted''': Snipers only take one shot at a time and never consider using a different strategy.

* '''Inverted''': The best strategy is a single, well-placed shot. The best weapon is not determined by rate-of-fire, but by accuracy... Resulting in sniper rifles with a ridiculous amount of stabilizing gear and a scope that resembles nothing so much as the Hubble Space Telescope.

** [[JackieBrown You absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room]]

* '''Downplayed''': Use a {{revolver|sAreJustBetter}}.

** Instead of using a pistol, use an ultimate weapon that shoots ten nuclear bombs in a second and has EleventyZillion different holes to shoot from that all BlahBlahBlah...

* '''Exploited''': Only a fraction of the mooks are killed due to the [[ATeamFiring poor accuracy]], RealityEnsues and the ammo runs out sooner then the hero expects, one of the mooks is a ColdSniper.

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Downplayed''': Use a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver.]]

* '''Downplayed''': Instead of using that single-firing flint lock pistol, use a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver.]]

* '''Downplayed''': ???

* '''Exaggerated''': Instead of using a pistol, use a minigun.
* '''UpToEleven''': Instead of using a pistol, use an ultimate weapon that shoots ten nuclear bombs in a second and has EleventyZillion different holes to shoot from that all BlahBlahBlah...
* '''Justified''': The enemies have thick armor that has to be punched through.

** '''Double-Crossed''': "Machine guns" only shoot one bullet at a time.
*** '''Triple-Crossed''': ...But "Pistols" immediately have rapidfire.

* '''Deconstructed''': Excessive firepower results in the death of allies and innocent bystanders.
** An army's overuse of dakka quickly causes supply problems.
** The hero's minigun spits out thousands of bullets a second, resulting in him running completely out of ammo in less than a minute, resulting in him up to his armpits in spent shells and leaving him wide open for the more conservative riflemen he's facing down.
** Recoil sends the hero flying across the room, and he breaks his neck when he hits the wall.
* '''Reconstructed''': Advanced targeting systems in the automated turrets ensure that only designated villains are targeted.
** The army's enemies end up rapidly capitulating because of the sheer terror of getting shot at by them, though.
** Because the minigun shoots so many bullets no enemies are left alive when the hero runs out of ammo.
** The high-tech minigun has some kind of recoil dampening system.

* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': Both sides of the conflict use excessive amount of firepower to make a point about the horrors of war.
