* Typhoid Mary, one of Daredevil's more crazed foes managed to deflect a bullet with a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], manipulating its path of flight in order to hit the guy who shot at her. ''While singing''.

* In ''{{Bleach}}'', Nell, [[spoiler:in her adult form, as well as in her child form]], protects Ichigo by taking Nnoitra's cero by ''her mouth'' then ''[[{{CrowningMoment/Bleach}} spits it back at him]]'' with ''[[MoreDakka her own cero strengthened it.]]'' This is also the power of [[spoiler:Ukitake]]'s shikai, [[spoiler:absorbing an attack with the left blade and firing it back (with increased speed) with the other]].

*** Actually, that's generally false. Grenade fuses are unpredictable, so soldiers are usually instructed to chuck that thing the hell away as soon as possible. This also makes throwbacks even more dangerous (picking up the grenade increases the blast effect, as less shrapnel hits the ground, and more is directed at chest and head level). Proper response to a grenade is not to throw it back, it's to do whatever you can to get the fuck away from the grenade.

** Then there's the famous dumpster where, if you toss a grenade into it, the fast zombie inside hucks it back at you...

* In ''((Team Fortress 2))'' the Pyro's airblast can be used to reflect projectiles, namely, arrows, rockets, flares, grenades and sticky bombs. Also handy for pushing people off the edge to their death

* In Fatal Fury the Motion Picture, the noble villain Jamin makes his introduction by calmly catching the bullet fired at him by catching a bullet between his index and middle finger. As if to show his contempt for firearms, he then casually flicks the bullet back the person who fired it, killing the man with a headshot.

* Sebastian from ''Kuroshitsuji'' does this in the freaking ''opening.'' And it's not a stylistic exaggeration for the purposes of a cool opening, either. He really is just that badass.

* One of the defining abilities of ''{{Kirby}}''; perhaps not coincidentally, the localized anime had this trope's former title as a subtitle.

* In ''HokutoNoKen'', the protagonist Kenshiro does this fairly often... usually using just two fingers.
* Used at the start of ''DragonBallZ'' by new arrival on Earth, [[KnightOfCerebus Raditz]]. With a [[BulletCatch bullet]]. Which he ''flicks'' back ''harder than the gun that originally fired it''.
* In ''{{Bleach}}'', Nell, [[spoiler:in her adult form, as well as in her child form]], protects Ichigo by taking Nnoitra's cero by ''her mouth'' then ''[[{{CrowningMoment/Bleach}} spits it back at him]]'' with ''[[MoreDakka her own cero strengthened it.]]'' This is also the power of [[spoiler:Ukitake]]'s shikai, [[spoiler:absorbing an attack with the left blade and firing it back (with increased speed) with the other]].

* Happens frequently in the ''[=~Ranma ½~=]'' manga. One memorable instance involves a pair of eggs and a brassiere.

* In ''[=~Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie~=]'', Metal Robotnik fires a volley of missiles at Sonic. They fly into the distance, and then one missile flies back, with Sonic [[RidingTheBomb riding it]], steering it right into Metal Robotnik.

** He got shot because he insisted on [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished going to visit the injured at the hospital]], with caused him to cross paths with Gavrilo Princip; who was buying a sandwich and was probably as surprised as his victim when he got the opportunity to assassinate him.

Compare AttackReflector, which doesn't bother with the catching part.

* In ''SchlockMercenary'', Captain Tagon does this when a [[TortureTechnician torturer]] who has his father hostage throws a knife at him (Tagon). Worth noting, though, is that Tagon caught the blade in his ''[[EyeScream eye.]]''

* In ''{{Bleach}}'', Nell, in her adult form, protect Ichigo by taking Nnoitra's cero by ''her mouth'' then ''[[{{CrowningMoment/Bleach}} spits it back at him]]'' with ''[[MoreDakka her own cero strengthened it.]]'' This is also the power of [[spoiler:Ukitake]]'s shikai, [[spoiler:absorbing an attack with the left blade and firing it back (with increased speed) with the other]].
