Line #16 PlayingWith/MoreDakka


1	'''Basic Trope''': There is [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill no such thing]] as too many bullets.
2	* '''Straight''': Instead of using a pistol, use a Squad Automatic Weapon.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Instead of using a pistol, use an automatic [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun]] to fill the air with lead. Ten for the price of one!
5	** Instead of using a pistol, use a minigun.
6	** Instead of using a gun, [[DeathFromAbove fly]] a [[CoolPlane Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II]].
7	* '''Downplayed''': Use an SMG.
8	* '''Justified''':
9	** The enemies have thick armor that has to be punched through.
10	** The BigBad has a HealingFactor which can only be disabled by overloading his body with a great many injuries in an extremely short period of time. Cue 30 headshots at 650 Rounds Per Minute.
11	** The shooters are keeping the enemy pinned under BulletHell.
12	** [[Film/JackieBrown You absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room.]]
13	** The target is moving too fast to properly aim at so spraying bullets in its general direction is the viable option.
14	** You have a ZergRush breathing down your neck.
15	** You are in the sights of a well-hidden sniper, and you have no other way to drive them out of their nest except for an AlphaStrike.
16	** The enemy can DodgeTheBullet. [[CombatPragmatist Unfortunately]], the enemy [[ComicBook/ThePunisher can't dodge 30]].
17	* '''Inverted''':
18	** The best strategy is [[ImprobableAimingSkills 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.
19	** The best strategy is a single [[WaveMotionGun REALLY powerful shot]] that can punch through a planet but takes a long time to reload.
20	** The best strategy is [[AmmunitionConservation using as little ammunition as possible]] to neutralize threats.
21	* '''Subverted''': The Hero sets aside the FN MAG and picks up a pistol, because he's only aiming at one mook.
22	* '''Double Subverted''': ...but then grabs the FN MAG when the other 20 mooks show up.
23	* '''Parodied''': {{Two words\|AddedEmphasis}}: [[GatlingGood Miniguns]] [[GunsAkimbo Akimbo]].
24	* '''Zig Zagged''':
25	** Some characters uses fully-automatic weapons, others don't.
26	** The Hero switches between weapons/firing rates as the situation changes. One mook 60+ yards away? '''[[BoomHeadShot Bang]]'''. A horde of mooks rushing at him in close range? '''[[NoisyGuns Click]]''' ''Dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka''
27	* '''Averted''': The bullets are as proportional as the enemies encountered.
28	* '''Enforced''': It's an obviously over-the-top (maybe even parodic) action movie, ''of course'' there's going to be MoreDakka.
29	* '''Lampshaded''': After the shooting stops, TheDragon points out that it really wasn't necessary to use that much firepower.
30	* '''Invoked''': A minigun is the only gun they have at their disposal.
31	* '''Exploited''':
32	** A horde of mooks tried to [[ZergRush rush]] the heroes and [[TakingYouWithMe trap them in]] as the heroes are escaping from the BigBad's CollapsingLair, TheBigGuy returns fire with his trusty [[GatlingGood Minigun]]. No more mooks.
33	** Turns out that the FragileSpeedster assassin have some problems [[DodgeTheBullet dodging all those bullets]] when there's dozens in the air from multiple directions and hundreds more on the way
34	* '''Defied''': Soldiers are given strict orders to use a minimum amount of firepower.
35	* '''Discussed''': In training, the soldiers are told repeatedly "You aren't Franchise/{{Rambo}}, so don't act like him!"
36	* '''Conversed''': "If real soldiers did that, they'd end up in jail."
37	* '''Implied''': The heroes cross an empty battlefield littered with spent cartridges and bullet-riddled corpses.
38	* '''Deconstructed''':
39	** Excessive firepower results in the death of allies and innocent bystanders.
40	** An army's overuse of dakka quickly causes supply problems.
41	** 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.
42	** Recoil sends the hero flying across the room, and he breaks his neck when he hits the wall.
43	* '''Reconstructed''':
44	** Advanced targeting systems in the automated turrets ensure that only designated villains are targeted.
45	** The army's enemies end up rapidly capitulating because of the sheer terror of getting shot at by them, though.
46	** Because the minigun shoots so many bullets no enemies are left alive when the hero runs out of ammo.
47	** The high-tech minigun has some kind of recoil dampening system.
48	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': Both sides of the conflict use excessive amount of firepower to make a point about the horrors of war.
49	* '''Played For Laughs''': More dakka is used....while hunting rabbits.
50	* '''Played For Drama''': Excessive firepower is used by the mooks to give a greater sense of danger for the hero.
51	* '''Played For Horror''': Goes without saying, seeing the results of one man [[MultipleGunshotDeath being shot three hundred times]] [[AndThatsTerrible is not pretty]].
52	* '''Punned''': [[Literature/TheDraka More Draka!]] Wait, what?
53	----
54	'''SUPPRESSIVE FIRE!''' '''''[++[[MoreDakka DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA]]++]'''''
