* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Clint is widely acknowledged as being the best shot in the Nine Realms, matched only by [[WarriorPrince Prince Faradei]] of [[OurElvesAreDifferent Alfheim]], the real life Legolas. To take one example, while showboating he casually fires a shot that [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments bounces off three pillars and snatches Volstagg's sandwich out of his hands before embedding in the wall. And then it exploded. Taking the sandwich with it]]. A JustifiedTrope due to the fact that [[spoiler:Clint is Minerva [=McGonagall=]'s illegitimate grandson by Bucky Barnes and his magical talent manifested in slightly enhanced reflexes and eyesight, much like Ultimate Hawkeye, but with a few extras]].

* ''WebAnimation/{{Haloid}}'' (''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' & ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}''): The Spartan soldier in that video is simply put, an insane marksman with just about ANYTHING. Ricochets from sniper fire hitting moving targets and ricocheting off of OTHER moving targets, insane levels of accuracy with rapid-fire weapons at a full run, THREE TON VEHICLES, SHOTGUN FU. Seriously. It's like watching every action movie hero's specialty with a weapon crammed into a can of complete fuckwin.

* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NegUHlzn_qs Gambit: Play For Keeps]]'', a fan video involving ComicBook/{{Gambit}} and ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, Gambit is forced into a high-stakes life-or-death poker game by a gun-dealer he had cheated some time in the past. To force Gambit to play the gun-dealer has Rogue bound to an ElectricTorture machine, in an undisclosed location that can only be accessed by ComicBook/IllyanaRasputin, who is serving as his [[TheDragon Dragon]]. At one point, as Illyana [[ThinkingUpPortals steps out of one of her portals]], Gambit throws two playing cards past her through her portal, lodging them into the computer systems controlling Rogue's shackles, freeing her.

* Averted in the {{Fanfic/Uplifted}} series. The accuracy of weapons is shown with a surprising degree of realism. Someone's clearly done their research.
* In Part Two of the notorious fanfic ''Anime/SailorMoon: [[Creator/DavidGonterman American Kitsune]]'', protagonist [[AuthorAvatar Davey Crockett]] manages to shoot and obliterate a throne on the Moon from the Earth with what amounts to an automatic, double-barreled sawed-off shotgun fired at a soda can thrown into the air. As if that weren't enough, the character sitting in said throne is left completely unharmed. The countless questions this raises, such as how Davey can tell where the moon throne is in the first place, are never brought up or answered.
* In the ''Manga/DeathNote'' fanfic ''Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'', Dark buys a sniper rifle with which to assassinate Near, and aims at him from the top of the "Eyfal Tower". The implication is that he could have killed Near with a single bullet and didn't need to buy a box... if Near hadn't used a '''Nerf gun''' to shoot out Dark's bullets and scope. Later, in what might be due to a typographical error, Dark manages to kill 1000000 (one million) Stormtroopers with 100000 (one hundred thousand) bullets, which requires killing on average, ten people with a single bullet, and only misses once.
* And then there's ''WebAnimation/{{Haloid}}''. The Spartan soldier in that video is simply put, an insane marksman with just about ANYTHING. Ricochets from sniper fire hitting moving targets and ricocheting off of OTHER moving targets, insane levels of accuracy with rapid-fire weapons at a full run, THREE TON VEHICLES, SHOTGUN FU. Seriously. It's like watching every action movie hero's specialty with a weapon crammed into a can of complete fuckwin.
* ''FanFic/TiberiumWars'' has a deliberate TakeThat directed at the official novelization, where a character gets a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] on a target a hundred meters away with a pistol... except unlike in the official book, the one making this headshot is [[ColonelBadass Colonel Nick "Havoc" Parker]].
** Later on, a Nod Commando disarms a thrown grenade by ''shooting the fuse off it'' with her laser pistol. Admittedly, she's a cybernetic killing machine that has hyper-advanced technology crammed into her body, but ''damn''.
** Lieutenant Fullerton, a GDI Commando, twists this around. With some careful setup using an air vent, a remote camera, and his helmet computer, he's able to calculate the precise angles to fire through a wall to kill every Nod soldier in the next room with his railgun.
* In ''[[Webcomic/NoMoreHeroes3AlternateStruggles No More Heroes 3: Alternate Struggles]]'', [[Videogame/NoMoreHeroesIII Sniping Lee's]] idea of target practice involves shooting down civilian aircraft from the sky by blasting their engines and pilots, and then headshotting every single passenger in them before the planes hit the ground. Without a scope.
* In the Fanfic/PokeWars 'verse, Dawn (yes, ''[[NaiveEverygirl that]]'' [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Dawn]]) becomes an amazing sharpshooter after her [[spoiler:dampeners are disabled]]. Her key highlights:
** In ''The Coalescence'' she lands "[[BoomHeadshot headshots]]" from a pistol on a swarm of Cloyster. Their "head" (actually the black pearl) is small relative to their body, they are leaping up and their shells are open only for a short time. ''She doesn't miss a single shot.''
** In ''Dawn of a New Era'' she kills three Fearow, one after the other, with [[BoomHeadshot headshots]]... from '''three''' kilometers away.
** In ''The Pokémon They Carried'', it is implied that all the snipers defending Groudon's Wall can easily make two kilometer shots. Dawn is the best of them all.

* Downplayed in [[FanFic/MassFoundations Redemption in the Stars]]. In the first chapter, Ethan Sunderland, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Courier]] has only a decent chance of hitting the flamethrower gas tank at medium range with the VATS targeting system.

* First Sargent Benjy in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9993496/6/The-Hell-er-Nator-II-Ghosting-the-Machine The Hell-er-Nator II: Ghosting the Machine]]'' explains that she's so good with her [[BratsWithSlingshots wrist rocket]] by practicing with it daily for almost four years. She practices hitting moving targets by shooting dragonflies, wasps, and hornets out of the air.
* ''Fanfic/{{Ferris}}'': The main feature of the alien Infiltrators, which are this fic's Thin Men. And that's before one gets [[spoiler:plasma sniper rifles]].
* Fanfic/WingsToFly: Lucrezia Noin gets a few seconds of a glimpse at an enemy mobile suit before it moves into cover behind a row of buildings. She lines up on a matching pair of windows in one of the buildings and times her shot to blow off the enemy MS' lower leg.

* Korsan in ''FanFic/ThePiratePegasus'' can shoot a bullseye from across a room with a custom-made crossbow twice, with the second bolt actually ''[[Main/SplittingTheArrow piercing]]'' the first.
* Several characters possess this in ''FanFic/BrokenBow,'' but it's entirely justified, since the ones who do are the Hunters of Artemis, who are blessed with this as a power and have had centuries of experience to boot; Apollo and Artemis, the twin archer gods; and their children. Well, Artemis' ''child.''
* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', Panchito "Pistoles" Rojo manages to aim at Izuku from ''underneath'' the docks just from the glow One For All: Full Cowl gave off, cutting a hole in concrete with his [[HandCannon revolvers]] to make Izuku fall through. The kicker is that he did this while the docks were full of containers packed with volatile Dust, doing so without hitting any of them or anything else in the chaotic firefight above.
* After becoming a vampire in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6200608/5/More-than-just-a-Man More Than Just a Man]]'', Lelouch manages to shoot out the factosphere of a Knightmare (a roughly fist sized target) from over a hundred meters away with a pistol while on top of a moving train.
* ''Fanfic/DistortionsSymphogear:'' Kir Voronin introduction is shooting Genjuro from a building 3 kilometers away with his sightline obscured by a host of trees in a park. The only reason that his next two shots don't end up hitting Hibiki and Miku is because it was intercepted by their bodyguards.
* ''Fanfic/FateBlackDawn'': Shirou scoffs at the archery portion of the tournament, and gets a bullseye from a hundred and twenty yards away. Everyone else was having trouble with thirty yards. He privately notes that he could have done it from farther, but a hundred and twenty was the edge of the field. Morgan quickly realizes that he could have hit a moving target at that range with no more trouble.

* ''Webcomic/ScoobAndShag'': Yosemite Sam's Ballyhoo, "Infrared", allows him to shoot with precision down to the millimeters. He uses this both in combat and to torture prisoners by intentionally missing them by hairs, but it's powerless against Popeye's ability to go into BulletTime and just dodge around the bullets.

* In ''[[Webcomic/NoMoreHeroes3AlternateStruggles No More Heroes 3: Alternate Struggles]], [[Videogame/NoMoreHeroesIII Sniping Lee's]] idea of target practice involves shooting down civilian aircraft from the sky by blasting their engines and pilots, and then headshotting every single passenger in them before the planes hit the ground. Without a scope.

A JustifiedTrope due to the fact that [[spoiler:Clint is Minerva [=McGonagall=]'s illegitimate grandson by Bucky Barnes and his magical talent manifested in slightly enhanced reflexes and eyesight, much like Ultimate Hawkeye, but with a few extras]].

* Averted in [[FanFic/MassFoundations Mass Foundation: Redemption in the Stars]]. In the first chapter, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Courier]] Ethan Sunderland has only a decent chance of hitting the flamethrower gas tank at medium range with the VATS targeting system.

** [[spoiler: The Winter Solder]]. If he shoots at you, you're probably dead.
