Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A combat situation where everyone you see will be hostile to you and a major threat, making it an acceptable tactic to shoot everything that moves.
* '''Straight''': The hero, [[MeaningfulName Victor]], is leading a [[TheSquad crack team of soldiers]] in their attempt to [[GreatEscape escape a POW camp]] that [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] stuck them into, and the team decides that "run and shoot" is an appropriate tactic in this scenario.
* '''Exaggerated''': The entire war is fought against a force like [[ZombieApocalypse zombies]] or [[RobotWar killer robots]], making "shoot everything that moves" the main tactic (and of course, leading to FriendOrFoe situations when the trope ''isn't'' in effect).
* '''Downplayed''': ???
* '''Justified''':
** Victor and his team are going up against the StateSec, an organization where every member is a bloodthirsty fanatic and EveryoneIsArmed, meaning that all of its members are hostile by default and a serious threat.
** After escaping the POW camp, Victor and his team are going to find themselves in a hostile environment [[EverythingTryingToKillYou full of dangerous monsters]], that can't really be reasoned with and have to be fought against.
* '''Inverted''': Victor and his team are TechnicalPacifist {{Stealth Expert}}s who were sent to sabotage an enemy munitions dump - destroying vehicles, weapons, supplies, and ammunition - and their tactic in this situation is to shoot everything that ''doesn't'' move.
* '''Subverted''': Victor's team floats the idea of running and shooting indiscriminately as they escape, but they discard it to avoid accidentially harming other [=POWs=] and attracting too much attention to their escape.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then, that same idea is used when the team [[WeNeedADistraction needs a distraction]].
* '''Parodied''': Victor and his team use the "run and shoot" tactics during a training excercise. The commanding officers and the opposing team are not amused - especially when it works way better than it should.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': No-one in the story ever "shoots everything that moves", even in situations when that would actually be a workable tactic.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': "Attention, team. We are going to use [[SarcasmMode a very secret and complicated battle plan to get out alive]]. I call it "shoot everything that moves"."

* '''Played for Laughs''': The tactic of "run and shoot" employed by the heroes ends up accomplishing [[ATeamFiring exactly nothing beyond massive property damage.]]
* '''Played for Horror''': Victor and his team stick to the tactic of "run and shoot" because they are fighting VoluntaryShapeshifting monstrosities that are capable of disguising themselves [[ParanoiaFuel as any creature or object there is]] and [[ChestMonster lay in wait to ambush the heroes]].
