19* ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners'': In Episode 4, Rebecca's response to [[spoiler:Pilar]]'s death is firing all her ammo at the Cyberpsycho who killed him.
20-->'''Rebecca:''' COCKSUCKER! You had no fucking right!
21* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': During the Cell Saga, the army attacks Cell before the tournament stops all at once. One of the focus shots was off one of the soldiers on the ground. Guess what he was doing during the open fire free-for-all.
22* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
23** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'', Joseph yells when putting multiple holes in Straizo with a Tommy Gun. He had reason to do so, considering that [[ItsPersonal he thought Straizo killed Speedwagon]].
24** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': A guard at the prison fires his gun upon the [[RainOfSomethingUnusual raining poisonous frogs]] falling on his body while yelling.
25* [[TheGunslinger Teana Lanster]] of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' did this during the time when she was recklessly shooting down the MechaMooks attacking Hotel Augusta and almost shot her own teammate.

He gets nabbed by Tim anyway but Tim notes Riot Act seems to have become more dangerous, and ''loud'', after getting some [[HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook inspiration]] from the Joker.
31[[/folder]]
32
33[[folder:Fan Works]]
34* ''Fanfic/{{Bait and Switch|STO}}'': At one point during a ground firefight [[NumberOne Tess Phohl]] opens fire on some Orions with a [[{{BFG}} phased polaron minigun]] yelling something in Andorian, but Eleya can't make it out because the gun's too loud.
35[[/folder]]
36
37[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
38* Sgt. Whittaker does this towards the end of ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'', as he repeatedly fires a truck-mounted cannon at a giant Phantom. Justified, because he tried to lure it away from the other heroes. [[spoiler:This quickly becomes a HeroicSacrifice, though considering he was already dying from earlier wounds, anyway, he didn't have much to lose.]]
39[[/folder]]

41[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
42* The first ''Film/ABetterTomorrow'' have Mark shouting as he mows down mooks with an Uzi. He usually remains stoic in most of his shootouts, like the restaurant gunfight and when he retrieves the tape from the basement, but then he loses it in the final action scene and lets his rage out over gunfire.
43* ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII'': Rambo, after shooting up Murdock's command center as he's emptying the rest of the belt into the ceiling. He also yells at some PAVN from his helicopter while attacking the POW camp.
44* Creator/RebBrown does this a lot in his action films, including ''Film/StrikeCommando'' (a low-budget Rambo II ripoff) ''Film/{{Robowar}},'' (a low-budget ''Film/{{Predator}}'' ripoff, and ''Film/SpaceMutiny''.
45* Picard did this when gunning down the Borg in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''.
46* Rick O'Connell did this when trying to shoot at the wall of sand in ''{{Film/The Mummy|1999}}'', both in rage and fear.
47* ''Film/FullmetalJacket'': The door gunner. *ratatatatata* "Get some!" *ratatatatata* "Get some!" *ratatatata* "Yeah, get some!"
48* ''Film/TropicThunder'':
49** Creator/JackBlack does it in the poster.
50** Tugg Speedman during the (real) ambush decides to milk the action for all its worth by a)firing from the hip, b) doing a completely unnecessary combat roll, c) firing one-handed, and d) screaming at the top of his lungs while waving the gun in all directions unleashing an endless stream of (blank) fire.
51%% Needs Context * ''Film/{{UHF}}'', during the ''{{Franchise/Rambo}} II'' parody.
52* ''Film/PointBreak1991'' has the scene where a character shoots rapidly into the air while screaming. It was later parodied by ''Film/HotFuzz''.
53* Connor [=McManus=] has a moment like this during the Il Duce shootout from ''Film/TheBoondockSaints''. Agent Smecker's reenactment of the shootout has him doing this as well, only he is firing in the air and there's no sound involved.
54* ''Film/PulpFiction'' contrasts an amateur ShoutingShooter, [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy vainly emptying his hand cannon]] at the hitman protagonists, with their wordlessly efficient response.
55-->'''''DIE''', YOU MOTHERFUCKERRRRS!!!''
56* In the ColdOpen to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', Lao Che's son goes full-auto at Indy with a Thompson sub-machine gun yelling what sounds like, "What's your name! What's your name!"
57* John Connor does this after a damaged terminator attacks him in ''Film/TerminatorSalvation''.

59* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'': Rocket does this several times, both when blasting away with a rifle while standing on Groot's shoulder or when firing the guns of a fighter ship that he is piloting.
60* ''Film/WonderWoman2017'': One of the Germans firing a machine gun at Diana does this as she crosses No-Man's Land.
61* A rare instance of not even needing a machine gun to do this: Officer [[GunNut Eugene]] [[ArtisticLicenseGunSafety Tackleberry]] of ''Film/PoliceAcademy''. During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-aFqq8aAWA live-fire gunnery range training]], he is given a pump shotgun just like everyone else... and proceeds to go haring off while completely demolishing the range, destroying targets with excessive amounts of gunfire all while screaming his head off and [[UnnecessaryCombatRoll dodge-rolling constantly]], much to the visible exasperation of Captain Harris.
62[[/folder]]

64[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
65* PlayedForLaughs in ''Series/TheBoys2019''. In "[[Recap/TheBoysS01E08YouFoundMe You Found Me]]", Hughie Campbell (who unlike the rest of the Boys has [[NaiveNewcomer no experience in military or intelligence work]]) has to provide covering fire during their escape, screaming "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" as he blazes away with an automatic weapon at the GasMaskMooks shooting back at him.
66* Gwen Cooper does this in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' series 4 as she and Ianto empty [=G36C=]'s into a Dalek [[spoiler: which is slightly anti climatic as they are protected by a time lock.]]
67* Surprisingly, Jamie Hyneman from ''Series/MythBusters''. In spite of his usual demeanor as the TheComicallySerious and TheStoic, it turns out he sometimes becomes one of these when he's at the controls of a [[GatlingGood Dylan]] [[MoreDakka Minigun]], as some of the clips from the various gun-related shows demonstrate. [[Awesome/MythBusters Then again, it's hard to blame him.]]
68* In a flash-forward in the ''Series/BabylonFive'' episode "Babylon Squared", Garibaldi unloads on unseen aggressors with some sort of [[SlowLaser PPG]] {{Gatling|Good}} [[{{BFG}} gun]], yelling stuff along the lines of "Come get some!" the whole time.
69[[/folder]]
70
71[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
72* The [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] from ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the TropeNamers for MoreDakka, love both violence and loud noises, something that leads them to attempt to match their weapon's in noisiness by yelling battlecries as they shoot. This is so engrained in Ork kultur that any Boys who do ''not'' engage in this behavior (i.e., shoot first then yell) are seen as sneaky gits and not Orky 'enuff.
73[[/folder]]
74
75[[folder:Video Games]]
76* ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt3'': ATEMS heavy gunners will scream and shout at Kirin and Gunvolt while attempting to vaporize them with their HMG's.
77* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
78** Big Boss in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' and Solid Snake in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', although both restrict it to when using the game's light machine guns.
79** ''VideoGame/MetalGearOnline'': Both Snake Eater and GOP MGO allows anyone using a machine gun to give a battle cry while shooting for an extended period of time. This can also stop the moment you release the trigger.
80* Pictured above, The Heavy from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' enthusiastically starts yelling and/or imitating machine gun sounds if you fire his Minigun continuously for long enough. When he's not telling you to [[MemeticMutation CRY SOME MORE!]], that is.
81* Firing the M60 in the {{game mod}} ''VideoGame/HalfLife2: Jaykin Bacon Source'' makes the player start yelling.
82* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
83** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'':
84*** Snow does it in Palumpolum when he shoots an overhang in an attempt to scare the crowd away from being shot themselves.
85*** On board the ''Palamecia'', Vanille does this while gunning down a Vespid Soldier when it and a couple of PSICOM troops come to move them to another cell.
86** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', PlayerCharacters will [[{{Kiai}} shout or grunt whenever they use a weaponskill]] (but not spells), which makes sense for classes like Rogues, Lancers and Pugilists as they move around a lot when attacking. Archers and Machinists, however, also make extensive use of weaponskills in their arsenal, so your average party will include one dude standing around and yelling while shooting for no real reason.
87* Sgt. Reznov does this while mowing down German soldiers in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar''.
88* Zaeed Masani of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' does this when angrily shooting at Vido Santiago's escaping dropship in the Paragon ending of his loyalty mission. It apparently imbued his bullets with anti-materiel penetration power, as it headshotted the dude sitting right next to Santiago, who visibly freaked out at it.
89* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has a quest where you help a group of people known as Bravo Company, led by John J. Keeshan, go through an entire orc battalion using a siege tank with Keeshan manning a turret. Keeshan screams appropriately, and the quest is even aptly named [[http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26708 AHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!!!]]
90* The player fires his gun into the air at the end of each level in ''VideoGame/TotalCarnage''.
91* Rocket Raccoon (from ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'') in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' will do this often, most notably during his GatlingGood Level 1 Hyper Combo.
92* ''Franchise/FarCry'':
93** The mercenaries in ''VideoGame/FarCryInstincts'' like to do this whenever they get their mitts on a heavy machine gun, gravitating between macho tough-talk and [[SanitySlippage panic-stricken gibbering.]]
94** Rex "Power" Colt of ''VideoGame/FarCry3BloodDragon'' does this when firing the [[GatlingGood Terror 4000]].
95** In ''VideoGame/FarCry5'', the Project of Edens Gate cultists are pretty fond of screaming as they fire a fixed or vehicle mounted machine gun at you or your allies.
96* Asura of ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' does this during the course of his UnstoppableRage against Olga and her fleet after they [[MoralEventHorizon go too far]]. The "shooting" in question is the blasts from the four utterly ''huge'' arms of his newly achieved [[OneWingedAngel Berserker Form]].
97* Salvador in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}''. He's TheBerserker with a focus on guns, and when he's "gunzerking", he's often screaming.
98-->"AHAHAHAHA! TIME TO OVERCOMPENSATE!"
99* Rio in ''VideoGame/OperatorsSide'' when she fires her machine gun [[spoiler:at several dozen canisters of fake Philosopher's Stones.]]
100%%* The [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar VCs]] in ''VideoGame/MenOfValor'' love to scream. A ''lot''.
101[[/folder]]
102
103[[folder:Web Animation]]
104* In ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'', Simmons is this with the mounted machine gun on the Warthog. The first time he uses it, he simply holds down the trigger and starts shouting random Sarge-like invectives at the Blues. On that note, [[BloodKnight Sarge]].
105[[/folder]]
106
107[[folder:Web Comics]]
108* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Chris from ''Superosity'' [[https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2009-11-24 yells]] while firing a ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' proton pack.
109[[/folder]]
110
111[[folder:Web Original]]
112* In ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'' review of ''VideoGame/UltimaI'' game, a CutawayGag showed [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing Gandalf taking on the Balrog]] with firearms, including screaming as he fires an assault rifle.
113[[/folder]]
114
115[[folder:Western Animation]]
116* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'': Percy loses his cool while attacking with his gun at several points, particularly in Episode 12 when he's attacking Vox Machina due to Orthax's possession making him believe they are actually the targets of the List.
117* Heffer from ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' did this once in an episode paying a certain {{Homage}} to ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}'' (among other things).
118* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Lana is seen doing this when shooting out a large number of enemies.
119-->''GET SOME YOU SONS OF BITCHES! GEEET SOOOOOME!
120* ''WesternAnimation/ObanStarRacers'': Jordan has a tendency to yell at whoever he's shooting at, whether they can hear him or not.
121%% ZCE * Quagmire has [[https://youtu.be/GcPO59vyjzI the Giggity Gun]] on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy.''
122* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': In Season 5, The Scotsman leads an assault on Aku's castle as he fires his machine gun alongside the charging army.
123* When Jimbo and Ned were telling their Vietnam experiences to the boys in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', he briefly was this until he ran out of ammo (when he took out a sword and rode a horse to kill more Viet Cong soldiers; he embellished to story a little bit).
124* Pig in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard''. He continues screaming even after letting go of the gun.
125[[/folder]]
126
127[[folder:Real Life]]
128* Standard procedure in the early days of the Bosnian army when firing a large caliber machine gun from indoors. It makes your ear-drums slightly less likely to burst.
129* Amusingly, shouting while shooting can also help the gunner remember the exact length of a burst. While some machine guns, like the American [[{{BFG}} M2]] fire slow enough you can count the rounds fired, others, like the [[MoreDakka MG42]], fire so fast they sound like a loud zipper. Shouting out short phrases can thus help the gunner remember "in the time it takes me to say these few words normally, is the time it takes to go through about 50 rounds".
130** The most common phrase taught to US Army and Marine machine gunners and SAW gunners is, "Die, motherfucker, die!" It takes the same amount of time as the ideal-length burst for the M60, M240, and M249.
