* Averted in an episode of ''Series/BurnNotice''. When a sniper takes out [[spoiler:Anson and Nate]] with a .[[BFG 50 calibre rifle]], the round goes through both of them and leaves a massive hole in the sign behind them both. Presumably other objects behind the sign were also hit - because we're talking about a fifty-cal here - but they were all out of shot.

* An episode of ''Series/CSIMiami'' combines this with MoreDakka with the "Vaporizer Gun". Firing something like a thousand rounds of caseless ammunition simultaneously so that the victim [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin is vaporized]]. ''Only'' the victim, somehow. The investigators are left puzzled as to what had happened: there aren't any spent bullets lying around and the rest of the crime scene is completely unscathed.

*Averted in the ‘’Series/{{Dragnet}}’’ episode “The Shooting Board” (1967). In a rare occurrence, Sgt. Joe Friday draws, shoots, and fatally wounds a burglar who shot first. However, there is no bullet hole in the wall behind Friday. It looks bad for Joe when the burglar’s hippie girlfriend claims that her boyfriend never shot. Eventually, LAPD investigators discover that a “carpenter’s pencil mark” on the underside of a wooden shelf was made by the perp’s bullet. Lifting the shelf, which had been slightly jarred from the impact, reveals the bullet hole with the slug still in it.

Obviously BulletsDoNotWorkThatWay. If there's an exit wound, that means the bullet ''exited'' the target and kept on going until it either hit something else or ran out of energy and fell to the ground a ''long'' way downrange. This is known as "overpenetration" and is the reason why one of the rules of [[UsefulNotes/GunSafety firearms safety]] is to be sure of your target ''and what's behind it''. Bodies rarely stop most bullets unless they hit a substantial amount of bone, and even that won’t stop some rounds. This is a major problem for law enforcement, as there have been many incidents of police bullets punching right through a violent offender and striking an innocent bystander down the street. Ammunition manufacturers have put years of research and development into soft point, hollow point, and other types of expanding rounds to reduce the chance of overpenetration compared to FMJ in law enforcement and civilian home defense use, but it can still happen. There was a case of a stray shot fired at a British Army rifle range in Yorkshire, which missed the target, over-shot the butts behind, and by appalling bad luck killed a woman who was walking her dog - nearly a mile away.
Note that it doesn't necessarily need to be a head shot, or even hit the intended target, to qualify as this trope. One of the many subtropes of BulletsDoNotWorkThatWay and SpecialEffectsFailure.

* In ''Film/AnimalHouse'' [[TheNeidermeyer Neidermeyer]] fires a round at the seltzer bottle Flouder was going to spray on him. The bottle shatters, but given how it was held should have hit Flounder in the arm or shoulder. Even if he hit the bottle near the bottom, it would have hit one of the many panicking bystanders behind Flounder.
