Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'': Hiccup invents a "dragon catapult" early on, but the dragons mostly use it as a toy. Much later, during [[spoiler:the Pecheneg attack on Constantinople]], they make a comeback, not as a toy for the dragons, but as a war machine to launch dragons and their riders directly into battle.

* An odd example of sorts comes from USS Enterprise (CV-6). During an air attack, one of the fighters that was preparing to launch was caught on the ships catapult and strafed before it could be launched. While this wasn't much of an issue normally[[note]]since the pilot was already out, and the Hellcat was a tough plane[[/note]], the aircraft, loaded with ordinance to support Marines, [[OhCrap suddenly burst into flames]]. The Catapult Operator, recognizing the danger, immediately launched the plane in order to save the ship. The aircraft went into the water and exploded, but the Enterprise would survive to fight another day.
