"In distress", my ass.
In order:
- Misuse of Sincerity Mode as a Sink Hole.
- Except for "Bear", those aren't code names, but positional titles that would exist regardless of who holds the positions in question.
- Spoilers adjusted on Karmic Death as per Spoiler Guidelines.
Code Name specifically allow for alphanumeric designations (It's in the page's very description) so Rifle Two - Two would be no different than an agent 007* or agent 86. It's a number. Someone would have that number regardless of that person's identity. Furthermore, Code Name's description does not exclude position-based code names. Tropes Are Flexible.
Furthermore, even if they weren't examples (and they are), Bear is. As you yourself just said. And you removed it. Please don't delete examples you yourself admit are valid.

Before this gets moved back we'll need more details as per How To Write An Example. What do these characters tell us about the trope, specifically? The trope's the point, and to a reader who does not know the game the names provide nothing.
- True Companions: Ding Chavez and his group, later Bishop to Logan.
Hi folks I need a bit of help with an example(s) from a Special Efforts thread. See InstantDeathBullet Sandbox for more details
Links to threads are in the description.
Any help, suggestions, or other info can be posted to The Special Efforts thread
So what we are looking for are examples of Instant Death Bullet. The Bit about the high power rifle head shot will be added back but before that is done are there any other examples?
- Averted in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Terrorists take children hostage at an amusement park, and one of them shoots a little girl dying of cancer to show they're serious, thus crossing the Moral Event Horizon. He even justifies himself by saying the kid didn't have much time anyway. The sniper assigned to take him out intentionally misses the head and shoots him right in the liver with a 700 Magnum, assuring that he will die slowly and painfully.Justified later when one PIRA operative is shot and killed instantly. Given that he was shot in the head by a .50 MacMillan (which was used to utterly destroy a truck engine moments before) it was more akin to Your Head Asplode.~ its in there somewhere
Who watches the watchmen?
