* Near the end of ''The Deal'', Ray goes, without his badge or gun, to [[TheMafia Zuko]] to convince him to let the [[EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep Shoemaker]] go. They end up having a conversation about a kid that Zuko beat the crap out of in school, while Ray stood idly by. Then Ray proceeds to go into a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Zuko, telling him that if he doesn't let the Shoemaker go, Ray will tell every person he sees on his way home about how he kicked Zuko's ass. And it won't matter if they believe him when he tells them, they'll believe it when they Zuko's battered face.

** Ray tosses Fraser his gun, and Fraser proceeds to shoot all the scuba gear's masks so he can't use them, followed by blowing a [[SelfDestructMechanism detonator remote]] right out of the bad guy's hand.

* Following three seasons of hearing about Benton Fraser's [[InformedAbility skill at marksmanship without any demonstration]] (as he was unlicensed to use a firearm in the United States), the Mountie hero of ''Series/DueSouth'' gets a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome at the climax of "Mountie on the Bounty, Part II" when the ship on which he is being held prisoner crosses into Canadian waters.
** The six minutes or so leading in to this are an extended SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, as Benton, Ray and a crew of mounties overtake the ship with a small wooden ship, completely taking down the villain's crew. Came complete with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic. "THIRTY-TWO DOWN ON THE ROBERT MCKENZIE!"
** Ray Vecchio on the same series got one in the first season; Frank Zuko, a mob boss with whom he had grown up, started terrorizing the city and had Benton beaten. So Ray challenged the mob boss to a game of one-on-one... but instead beat the ever-loving sh* t out of him, humiliating him so badly that he couldn't even tell his men to put a hit on Ray, out of sheer embarrassment.
** Not to be outdone, Ray Kowalski gets one in the third season: after Fraser and his mentor Quinn have been kidnapped by a jewel thief, members of the 2-7 reach the warehouse where they are being held. The thief tells Ray over the phone that if he doesn't get a car and a clear path away in the next thirty seconds, he'll shoot Fraser. Welsh tells Ray to wait for backup from the SWAT team, but rather than risk Fraser's life, Ray ''commandeers a police motorcycle and drives through a window,'' disarming the thief and arresting him before Fraser can even move.
** When Benton and Ray Vecchio get locked in a bank vault that a heavily armed team of bank robbers is breaking into, Benton sets off the fire sprinklers inside the safe, resulting in a colossal wave once the robbers get it open that disarms all of them.

* Near the end of ''The Deal'', Ray goes, without his badge or gun, to [[TheMafia Zucco]] to convince him to let the [[EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep Shoemaker]] go. They end up having a conversation about a kid that Zucco beat the crap out of in school, while Ray stood idly by. Then Ray proceeds to go into a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Zucco, telling him that if he doesn't let the Shoemaker go, Ray will tell every person he sees on his way home about how he kicked Zucco's ass.
** Another one later, we hear Fraser reading from his father's diary about a man he put away threatening to come find him and seek revenge one day, and talking about how fear affects a man and the way he lives his life. As the narration continues, we see Ray sitting on his bed, pistol in hand. Then Ray unloads the pistol and locks it up, having decided not to let fear of Zucco's reprisal affect him.
** From the same episode, Fraser managing to give one of the most polite examples of TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Zucco:

* Fraser doesn't use his gun because he's not licensed for it in the US. However, he is an expert marksman, though it's easy to forget this given that he rarely gets to use guns. In ''Mountie On The Bountie'', Ray and Fraser ([[ItMakesSenseInContext and a whole shipload of mounties]]) are fighting the bad guys for control of a freighter drifting across one of the Great Lakes. The bad guy gloats that soon he will be in the carribean enjoying the money he made from piracy...
