* Used in more or less every single western comic book in the '60s. If the writers were feeling edgy enough, the hero might occasionally shoot the villain in the hand or shoulder, but because of UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode of the time, shots intended to kill or seriously harm were a big no-no.

* ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'': Based on the story below. The woman in question ''is'' injured, but the wound is not serious. The rifle itself is also shown to be damaged. Bond later uses his knowledge of the wound (and its source) to get her to trust him. In this case, he justifies wounding as "I only kill professionals. That woman didn't know one end of rifle from another."

The one on the receiving end on this trope almost [[OnlyAFleshWound never gets hurt]] past a brief scream.[[note]]Although in particularly more violent works the poor schmuck gets a case of {{Fingore}} instead.[[/note]] Indeed, this technique is often used by [[TheCape heroic]] [[TheGunslinger gunslingers]] (who may have an aversion to just shooting the enemy) to [[ThouShaltNotKill subdue their enemies without killing them]], and to [[ImprobableAimingSkills establish their skill with a gun]] in a [[RuleOfCool flashy and awesome way]]. In fantasy and PeriodPiece stories, it may be done with a bow and arrow or crossbow. In science fiction, it may be done with a [[RayGun laser blaster]].
