* The 2009 ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' remake is a MAJOR offender. There's a level where you leap from rooftop to rooftop taking out snipers by tracing the beams back to their source (not only is the dot visible, but the actual ''beams'' are as well).

* ''Literature/PerfectRun'': Whenever Ryan faces Enrique Manada, his bodyguards point guns with laser sights at Ryan. This is mostly to make sure everyone can see that one of the guards is pointing his gun at [[GroinAttack Ryan's most powerful weapon]].

* ''Film/TheMother''. During the climax the Mother uses her [[HarmfulToMinors twelve-year-old daughter as spotter]] so she can snipe one of the mooks after them. She gives the mook a BoomHeadshot, only to then see a laser dot on her daughter's forehead. The BigBad then calls her on the radio to ComeAlone to meet him.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Deadhunt}}'', your Steyr IWS 2000 SniperRifle lacks a scope, but has a fine re dlaser-line attached to the barrel to help you aim at zombies, knights and other monsters.

** And somewhat played with in ''Opposing Force'' - Adrian's Desert Eagle uses a laser sight in place of any ironsights, but it's only visible to him.

* ''Videogame/DawnOfWar'': Snipers like the Vindicare or Space Marine Scouts have big honking laser sights attached to them. Notably, their purpose isn't to put a dot on the target but make them visible to a human player as they're permanently invisible.

** The ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Resident]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake Evil]]'' [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake remakes]], despite using the same over-the-shoulder camera as ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', use a traditional crosshair sight for shooting. Many guns, however, have a laser sight upgrade, which eliminates the "focus" time for the crosshairs: the gun will always shoot at the red dot. While helpful for the basic handguns, it's almost essential for magnums, where the focus time can be as long as a full second.

* ''Film/TheTerminator'': "The .45 longslide, with laser sighting." At the time, laser sights were nowhere near as common as they are now, and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger had to hide the battery up his sleeve. It gives a [[RuleOfCool cool]] ImpendingDoomPOV when Sarah Connor's vision goes red as the Terminator puts the laser dot right between her eyes.
