* ''Fanfic/TheRigelBlackChronicles'': Leo is proficient at wandlessly using Summoning and Banishing charms on thrown knives -- his own or others. It lets him add much more speed (and thus power) to a throw, or make a missed throw turn around and hit his opponent in the back, or surprise someone who tries to Summon a dropped knife back to their hand and finds it arriving much faster than they expected. Harry, who is also experienced in wandless magic, is intrigued and quickly adopts his style.

* ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'': Late in the series, Dai learns that his {{Mentor}} Avan's FinishingMove "Avan Strash" has two variants - the SwordBeam "Avan Strash Arrow" that he's been using, and the DashAttack "Avan Strash Break". Appreciating the Break variant's greater power but [[AwesomeButImpractical finding it too slow and easily interrupted]], Dai develops the "Avan Strash Cross" - launching an Arrow from a modified stance, then using it as cover to rush forward and strike it with a Break at the exact moment it impacts the opponent. The result is an X-shaped attack with five times the power of the original Avan Strash.

* A character throws a grenade or explosive and then fires at it to immediately detonate it.
* Creating ImprovisedScattershot.
* Combining multiple projectiles into a bigger projectile.

* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'':
** Early in Mista's fight with Sale, Mista manages to shoot his opponent in the head. Unfortunately for Mista, Sale's Stand, Kraft Work, stops the bullet's momentum, which leaves it lodged in Sale's skull while Sale himself is otherwise unharmed and able to keep going. Mista's finishing move in that fight is to shoot a second bullet into the exact same bullet hole, causing the second shot to hit the first and drive it even deeper into Sale's brain.
** With Giorno's help, Mista shoots a metal bolt with a bullet that launches the former into the head of Ghiaccio, who is protected by his Stand White Album. Mista then fires more bullets at the bolt to knock Ghiaccio unconscious.
