** Neo's quest to rescue Morpheus from the Agents involves a bombastic and daring plan that nobody has ever tried before. This translates to absolutely atrocious amounts of firepower, in a sequence of scenes where Neo and Trinity shoot up a skyscraper lobby, shoot their way to the top, shoot a lot of SWAT, shoot an Agent in the head, and then eo fires [[GatlingGood a minigun]] from a helicopter to kill three Agents, complete with gratuitous SlowMotion shots devoted to [[SpentShellsShower the shell casings falling from the gun]]. Neo's approach to the mission is summed up in the [[MemeticMutation famous line]] delivered during their preparation:

** There's the memorable scene in [[Film/TheMatrix the original]] when Neo fires [[GatlingGood a minigun]] from a helicopter to kill three Agents, complete with gratuitous SlowMotion shots devoted to [[SpentShellsShower the shell casings falling from the gun]].
-->"We need guns. Lots of guns."

* Put rather eloquently in ''{{Manga/Nobunagun}}'': "If one gun isn't enough: ''two!'' If two guns isn't enough: ''three!''" Bear in mind that the guns in question are [[GatlingGood whopping great miniguns]].

* ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'': Gokudera's Flame Arrow has many types of modes or bullets, depending on what combination of Flames Gokudera uses. One set of bullets turns his cannon-like weapon into a machine gun. Apparently, it took him a while to hit Gamma with any of these rounds of bullets.

* Chao of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' uses magic to fire a wall of bullets at her opponent without a gun. Haruna apparently followed this philosophy when designing Sayo's robot body. Then later on, she makes a gatling gun for Sayo.

* [[Manga/BungoStrayDogs Chuuya Nakahara]] uses this trope in a somewhat unusual manner as he doesn't use a gun but does use bullets. He utilizes his GravityMaster powers to rain these hundreds of bullets down on enemies at one point, similarly to the Mami example mentioned above.

* Seen when the hero Death Gatling from ''Anime/OnePunchMan'' uses his ultimate attack, Death Shower when fighting Garou (season 2 in the anime).

* ''{{ComicBook/Fables}}'' came up with a fine mix of modern-day weaponry and Fable tactics: Take one flying ship (powered by flying carpets), load with all the guns that can fit and set up a chain of ammo depots around the world that can be accessed instantly by teleportation, and rain a never-ending solid wall of hot lead on the enemy armies for hours and hours.

* Used gruesomely in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/90939/1/shell-shock/the-tower Shell Shock]], where the heavy machine guns are used to massacre POW's.
* Jago tries this on Lind during the Ah! My Goddess fic "Ah! Archfall!", using an Iowa Class battleship, which as it turned out was distraction for an orbital strike. All it does is piss her off.
* The Dreadnought from ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'' is built entirely around this trope. It seems unarmed at first glance, until it reveals its extremely powerful hidden arsenal. It's actually described as carrying [[LampshadeHanging "enough guns to make an Ork blush."]]. And during the final battle, the ship unleashes ''[[RuleOfCool Super Duper Mega Ultra Extreme Wizard Mode]]'' -- turning it into a flying mass of guns and missile launchers that promptly massacres an entire Demon battle group. While playing the 1812 Overture at full volume.

* Quite common in the ''FanFic/TheTerminatorsArmyOfLegend'' series, but memorable during Commander Alex Vaughn and Commander [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]]'s first encounter with the ''Maxian'' Elite Officers and the ''Maxian'' military commander, named General "Necro" in the third volume. Due to their mutations, the Elites can heal injuries alarmingly quick, the only way to kill them is to almost literally fill them with lead. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d as Alex responds to this trope directly.

* A common but practically futile tactic used in ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom''. Koro-sensei, the target, can easily dodge every ounce of rapid fire dakka aimed at him using his super-speed. As the series progresses, the students start coming up with more creative uses of this strategy, such as aiming ''around'' him to reduce his concentration and seal off possible escape routes.

* Chao of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' uses magic to fire a wall of bullets at her opponent [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v17/c158/15.html without a gun]]. Haruna apparently followed this philosophy when designing [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v28/c253/7.html Sayo's robot body.]] Then later on, she makes a [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v30/c274/3.html gatling gun]] for Sayo.

** The [=Ez8=] from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam''; unlike the standard RX-79[G] Gundams, the [=Ez8=] carries machine guns in its head to fire more rounds per second. Ironically, the one time it goes all out and fires every weapon it has at once, every single shot misses his stationary target completely.

* SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} has this on his mind at all times. He even has a comic issue, specifically the second issue, named after this trope! Not to mention he has a shelf in his (now-vanished) video game with a Three Barreled Chain Gun, a multitude of automatic weaponry, and a special pistol that resembles a certain [[Film/MenInBlack "Noisy Cricket".]]

* On ''Monty Python's Previous Record," Miss Anne Elk's prattling about her theory about dinosaurs irritates the presenter so much that he shoots her. After a beat, Miss Elk apparently is still alive, to the presenter employs a machine gun to finish the job.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon, "Olive Oyl for President," Olive has a dream that she is US President, but the Congress is arguing so stubbornly about it that she calls up the Secretary of Love, which happens to be Cupid. Seeing the target rich environment for his arrows, he throws down his bow, and uses a machine gun for them instead for the desired effect.

** To it's credit, the anime ''does'' open with that scene of a gang of outlaws shooting (half)a saloon to pieces with nothing but assault rifle fire.

Related to WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer, More Dakka is a SubTrope of SpamAttack, but with bullets. The name comes from the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Ork]] onomatopoeia for machine gun firing, and subsequently the Ork term for rapid fire capacity: "dakka-dakka-dakka-dakka...". Inverse of AmmunitionConservation, where the priority is to utilize the absolute ''least'' dakka necessary.

* Pretty much {{deconstruct|ion}}ed by the final shootout in ''Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'': Sosa sends several dozen men to kill Tony in revenge for what he did in Paris. They enter his mansion and pump him full of lead with their guns on full auto (this film is also a great example for BottomlessMagazines). Tony himself is so coked up that it seems the probably thousands of bullets can't do him any harm while he mows down the bad guys on full auto himself, having to reload twice, but after completely unrealistic numbers of rounds. What eventually kills him is [[spoiler:[[ShotgunsAreJustBetter both barrels of a double-barrel shotgun emptied into his back at point blank range]]]].

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': Gundam Heavyarms, in its original state, carries a gatling gun longer than either arm as its primary weapon, [[ChestBlaster twin Gatling guns hidden in the chest compartment]], twin machine guns in the collar and twin Vulcan cannons in the head(not to mention [[MacrossMissileMassacre all the missiles]] and a backup [[BladeBeneathTheShoulder folding knife]]). Near the end of the series it gets upgraded to carry a twin Gatling gun, still longer than either arm.

*** More Dakka is the general concept of all upgrades in Gundam Wing.

** Used by the CIA response team in season 7 ep. 2, whose hostage rescue plan consists of unloading a half-dozen machine guns at the building where the bad guy is holed up with his hostage.

** ''Film/{{Predator}}''. In an early scene, the commandos cut down a good portion of the surrounding jungle with automatic fire from assault rifles, the famous "[[ICallItVera Old Painless]]" [[GatlingGood handheld minigun]], rand grenade launchers.

* ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'' has Bunker who pilots a suit of PoweredArmor that can pump out enough daka to match an entire battalion.

** But manages to leave remarkably little evidence in the form of [[StrayShotsStrikeNothing spent bullets]] for the investigators.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': This is pretty much the first method Tokyo-3 and Shinji use to try and kill an Angel. [[NoSell It never works.]] Shinji never learned his lesson as he doesn't even hesitate to try shooting an Angel first. Lampshaded by Ritsuko when Tokyo-3 bombards Ramiel with bullets and [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles]], commenting on how the authorities won't be happy until every last bullet is used and that it's a waste of the taxpayers' money.

* Sniper from the ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' is a [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Punisher-style]] vigilante who uses gym-bags full of guns. He thinks of himself as a hero; most of the heroes see him as a villain.
