** In gameplay, dueling requires you to aim a shot for every bullet in your magazine, which will naturally result in this trope for your opponent. [[spoiler:Agent Ross [[KarmicDeath dies this way]] in the epilogue, courtesy of Jack.]]

* In ''Film/TheGreatEscape'', the Gestapo cements their position as the film's HateSink by ordering all of the fifty Allied soldiers they managed to capture after the mass breakout at Stalag Luft 3 to be executed by taking them away to an open field and cut down with an MG-42[[note]]a minor bit of ArtisticLicenseHistory. The decimation of the fifty did happened, but not in such an overkill fashion[[/note]].

Lord of the Rings example belongs under Human Pincushion, not here. Fix typos and indentation on other examples.


SisterTrope to DoubleTap and NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, and a SubTrope of ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill. Compare and contrast with HumanPincushion, which involves arrows and other stabbing weapons, RasputinianDeath, which often involves multiple fatal factors, DoubleTap, when a more measured (and well-aimed) version of this is performed (or recommended), ShootingSuperman, when this is a NoSell, and FiveRoundsRapid, which is when Superman does require something a bit bigger than bullets to injure, but the shooters never use anything more powerful than concetrated small arms fire.

* Boromir's death in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'' is the medieval equivalent; he's shot three times by a gigantic Uruk-Hai captain with gigantic arrows from a gigantic bow, even though one would have easily killed him. The differences are played realistically since bullets and arrows mess up their targets differently; the trauma settles in slowly and the arrows don't go clean through him, but the wounds still put Boromir beyond medical help. The captain was planning on [[FourIsDeath topping things off with a headshot]], but Aragorn stepped in.
* Subverted in ''Film/TheMask''. Tyrell, wearing the Mask, is shot repeatedly, only to calmly suck in his gut and fire the bullets out of his mouth.
** A second, comedic example from ''Film/TheMask'': Tyrell's men riddle a bar The Mask (Ipkiss, this time) is hiding behind with bullets. The Mask pops out, says, "Did you miss me?", takes a drink of water and [[InvisibleHoles the water sprays out several holes in his body]], ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-style, and The Mask quips, "I guess not!"

* This is the staple of the SerialKiller [[spoiler:Metal Sonic]] in ''Fanfic/{{Frenzy|HeroMemory}}''. He leaves the victims bullet ridden. The story starts out with Amy's mysterious murder, which is one of the most brutal Central City had seen in a while.
* In ''Fanfic/TheSoulmateTimeline this is how [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]] handles a serial killer magical girl: binding her in ribbons and blasting her with hundreds of her magical guns until she is dead.

If that seems a bit [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness extreme]], it should be noted it was partially righteous fury (said SerialKiller was trying to kill her and Homura's Soulmate Madoka [[CantLiveWithoutYou to kill all three of them]] [[spoiler:which was only stopped by Sayaka]] and Soulmates are a rule are [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend very concerned when their loved ones' wellbeings are in danger]]) and sheer pragmatism (she had to absolutely make sure she wouldn't miss since her equilibrium was otherwise shot [[spoiler:from [[DeliberateInjuryGambit blowing out her own eardrums]] to keep from hearing the AwfulTruth about Witches]], so she couldn't rely on her usual aim).
