* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue: Revelation'': Done with a fist. The Meta is slowed down by his malfunctioning [[TimeStandsStill temporal distortion unit]] but keeps charging at Doc, who jokes about the Meta's attempt to very slowly kick his ass. Simmons notes that while the Meta is appearing to move slowly relative to them, he's still technically moving as fast as he was before, therefore his punch would have the same amount of force. Doc laughs... right up until the point the Meta ''taps'' him, which sends Doc flying into a wall.

* ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers'' has the bosses use rocket launchers, grenade launchers, or blades. The second has cannons, barrels, and arrows, being in a wild west setting.

* ''VideoGame/MissionImpossibleKonami'': Enemy bullets tend to be quite slow, and can be maneuvered around, or even outran by your fastest agent. The molotov cocktails thrown by some enemies travel about as fast as them. Fortunately, your bullets travel a lot faster, though still slow enough to be visible.

* The UsefulNotes/Xbox360 game ''VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce2017' has a line of missile launchers called, fittingly, the Air Tortoise. Once fired, you can run ahead of the missile and soften up the target with a machine gun while you wait for it to kill the thing five or ten seconds later. The only advantage to it is that later versions are really powerful and relentless in tracking a target.

* ''VideoGame/VirtuaCop'' series:
** ''Virtua Cop'', in all its incarnations, feature grenades, rockets, and knives that can be shot out of the air. The first boss of the second game even throws a ''van'' at you, which is deflected with six bullets.
** ''Virtua Cop 3'' features a BulletTime ability where your VeryHighVelocityRounds can be used to shoot enemy bullets out of the air. Repeat: Shoot enemy ''bullets'' out of the air!
* ''VideoGame/ZombieRaid'', aside from the usual fireballs, mixes in wooden stakes, (Which travel far too slowly to be of any real threat) mummy wrappings, and thrown beakers.
* ''VideoGame/Police911'' has bullets so slow you can easily follow their trajectories. The game's premise revolves around moving your body to dodge attacks, and if bullets moved at realistic speeds the game would be even more NintendoHard than it already is.

* ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers'' has the bosses use rocket launchers or blades. The second has cannons, barrels, and arrows, being in a wild west setting.

* Any non-bullet projectiles in ''VideoGame/Area51'' and ''VideoGame/MaximumForce''.
* Knives and grenades in ''VideoGame/OperationWolf''.

** This and their "Jumping is useless" line actually made a bit more sense for [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the Mooninites' original origin, which was cut for time,]] of them being the spirit of [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 hundreds of old video games buried underground]] - most of those games were entirely 2D, so a projectile too big to jump over would inevitably kill you no matter how slow it traveled.

* Similarly with paintpalls, airsoft pellets rarely go above around 300 ft (91 m)/sec. However, due to the projectile being really light, they lose velocity quickly to the point where the pellets are easily seen and can be dodged at not that far of a range.

* ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' has enemies attack with bullets and missiles that travel at a shockingly slow pace across the screen. Their deadliness usually comes in [[MoreDakka waves]], from the fact you're a OneHitPointWonder, and from the fact that it's 2D so you can't just casually sidestep the shots. This is particularly WTF-inducing in ''Contra 3'', where on lower difficulties, an enemy behind you fires a bullet at you traveling ''slightly faster'' than the character. Since the animation of your character makes it look like he's merely jogging, dodging the bullet would simply be a matter of him picking up the pace and literally ''outrunning the bullet''. [[note]]To ''really'' drive in the WTF factor, note that this means that if your character could sprint, you could jump out of the bullet's path, let it pass under you, and then, as it lazily floats away from you, run after it and '''kill yourself by hitting it from behind'''.[[/note]]

** The cryonis constructs fired by Vah Medoh and Waterblight Ganon are big and slow-moving. They make up for it with numbers.

* ''VideoGame/MissionImpossibleKonami'': Enemy bullets tend to be quite slow, and can be maneuvered around, or even outran by your fastest agent. The molotov cocktails thrown by some enemies travel about as fast as them. Fortunately, your bullets travel a lot faster,
though still slow enough to be visible.
