* The AC-130u Spooky II has a 25mm Equalizer Gatling gun. Think about it, a 30 caliber minigun creates a shower of spent cartridges. Lampshaded by Adam Savage-

** Now a 25mm shell is many times the size of a 30 cal shell, and it's being fired from a Gatling gun. There have been many stories of crew members having to shovel away spent shells.

** A later scene has the hero run out of ammo, grab a handful of his own spent shells and ''throw'' them at the advancing enemy, killing several.

* Deliberately [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the original {{Appleseed}} manga. [[WordOfGod Shiro's notes]] indicate that he thought it would [[RuleOfCool look cool]] if the E-SWAT members weapons sent spent casings flying everywhere, but he felt that would conflict with the professional nature of their missions, and thus their weapons would have attached pouches to catch spent casings and keep their operation neat.

* ''CortexCommand'' has some weapons that drop [[MoreDakka lots of shells]], some weapons that drop [[{{BFG}} very large shells]], and some weapons that drop [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill lots of very large shells]]. If a character stays in the same position and shoots for long enough, it's entirely possible to make quite large piles of shells - that you can then ''walk on''.

* ''TheGodsMustBeCrazy'': When a group of African guerrillas are shooting at a helicopter, one is annoyed by the man next to him, whose submachine gun is throwing its shells into the first's head.

* Disturbed's video for 'Indestructible' features footage of this, presumably from a Gatling gun.

* ''SamuraiJack'': in "Robo-Samurai vs Mondo Bot", Mondo Bot fires its [[MoreDakka Machine Guns]] at Robo-Samurai. Note that both are HumongousMecha, meaning the spent cases are pretty large, causing damage as they fall to the ground and even damage a car.

* ''HotShots Part Deux'' had that scene where the hero became nearly buried in his spent shells. PlayedForLaughs, of course.

* All versions of ''{{Area 88}}'' open with a shot of 20mm shells falling from Shin's F-8E Crusader as he tears up a column of enemy tanks.

* ''Film/RebuildOfEvangelion'': Unit 01 fires an Eva-sized [[GatlingGood gatling gun]] at Shamshel, raining spend shells on the street below. One of the shells crushes a car when landing.

* StarcraftII: When [[spoiler:Valerian Mengsk invades Char]] General Warfield is desperately holding a position against the Zerg and this trope is used to show exactly how many different kinds of fucked he and his men are, since with all the [[MoreDakka dakka]] they are generating it isn't doing a damn thing against the Zerg.
