The most easily accessible real-world evidence for Pink Mist is surely the GrossUpCloseUp provided by the UsefulNotes/ZapruderFilm of the UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy assassination. A 10.5 gram rifle bullet traveling at 2,300 feet per second into a [[NauseaFuel large, homogenous mass with the consistency of a custard pie]] can be clearly seen to support the trope, although not quite as strikingly as [[YourHeadASplode one might expect]].

* This happens in ''Series/{{Hornblower}}'', episode "Loyalty''. Post Captain Charles Hammond, an Irish spy and traitor, foils a British attack on a French fort. This results in his nephew Jack (serving under Hornblower) being killed. Hammond, faced with the real-life consequences of his actions, blows his brains out, and there is no discretion shot. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGj3hZAnFRI]] (time 1:30:00) Hornblower participates in a cover-up of Hammond's treason, fearing that reporting it accurately will cause the Irish in the Royal Navy to mutiny or worse.

* Tragically TruthInTelevision, as anyone who has seen the UsefulNotes/ZapruderFilm (the film of John F. Kennedy's assassination) can attest.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/AmericasArmy'' due partially to the need to avoid a rating higher than T, and partially to the fact that [[RealityIsUnrealistic 5.56mm bullets rarely cause that level of dismemberment]]. Plus, it's a [[JoinTheArmyTheySaid recruiting tool]]; people are likely to be less open to joining the Army if their death was just rendered in agonizingly gory detail. Those to whom such things would appeal are generally more unstable than Army recruiters would like.

* In the opening scene of ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' the Major shoots a programmer attempting to defect several times in the head, causing him to explode seconds later. It's suggested she was using explosive bullets.
