Someone has just pulled a trigger in an unstable, high-tension situation where Everyone Is Armed. Everyone freaks out and draws their guns and starts blasting at each other, often wildly and at very close range. For this trope to work right, the outcome has to be truly up for grabs. If someone in a Mexican Standoff starts shooting, this is the expected result. One possible result of the Powder Keg Crowd. If this happens at the finale of the story, often results in a Bolivian Army Ending. Examples |

Infamous (2020): The Mexican Standoff in the bank ends when Kyle takes his eyes off Arielle for a second to glance at dean, and Arielle pulls the gun she has tucked down the back of her short shorts. She plugs Kyle between the eyes and everyone else fires. When the shooting stops, Arielle is the only one still standing. | |

At the end of Hooded Angels, there is a showdown between the surviving Angels and Wes and his posse in silver Creek, with the two groups standing on opposite sides of the town square with their hands hovering over their guns. While it doubtful the standoff could have been resolved peacefully given Hannah's determination not to be taken alive, the opportunity never arises, as Psycho Party Member Ellie chooses to lob dynamite between the groups. People dive for cover and as April does so, her hand instinctively closes on her pistol butt and pulls it clear of the holster. Billy sees the gun come out and shoots her, and the firefight is on. | |

The grande finale of Ranma ½ has Soun Tendo attempting to force Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo to be married at last, having stolen a cure for Ranma's Gender Bender curse that was sent to the dojo as a reward for Ranma's attempts to save Jusenkyo and intending to blackmail Ranma and possibly Akane into going along with the wedding. Ranma promptly tries and steal the cask of Nanniichuan back, his other fiancees show up and start slinging explosives around to prevent the wedding, and his father, Ryoga and Mousse all show up to try and take the Nanniichuan for themselves. How does it end? The reception (both the party and the hall) has been blown to hell and back, and Happosai's drunk the Nanniichuan water. Nobody gets married, cured, or makes any serious attempt towards sorting out the Love Dodecahedron. | |

Parodied in the Huck Finn episode of The Simpsons, a saloon undergoes a blast out when everyone pulls derringers out from a variety of hiding places, including from within the barrel of a larger gun, and starts firng wildly... and they are revealed to be unable to even damage glass. "These derringers sure are weak, Tom." "Powerful weak." One bounces off someone's eyeball, not even causing them to blink. | |

Deliberately invoked by Gene (aka Viper) in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Using his More than Mind Control, he plants feelings of paranoia amongst a large platoon of defectors, creating a Powder Keg Crowd, until inevitably one pulls the trigger on their rifle, causing the entire group to start gunning each other down to a man. Only Big Boss and Johnathan were unaffected. | |

There's no chance for the team to survive the Quick Draw blast out if the player doesn't meticulously plan the quick action so every team member will shoot at the banditos facing them at the same time (Cooper alone can eliminate the three men in front of him in one go). | |

Things are going according to plan till one of the guards goes for his gun (or possibly just drops his coffee).

In one Allied mission in Silent Storm, your team arrives to investigate a group of Allied soldiers suspected of being Nazi spies. However, they all think you are the spies. Everyone is cramped in a small room with guns loaded (and submachineguns are deadly at close range). This is a turn-based game, though, and you get the first turn. Otherwise, the game may have been over then. | |

Ghost Recon Wildlands has these situations with Santa Blanca sicarios and Unidad soldiers as the participants. These two groups are nominally enemies but usually leave each other alone unless Unidad spots Santa Blanca openly using violence. Sometimes squads of both can be seen together in tense conversation, and all it takes to trigger a bloodbath is a single untraceable shot by the player. Unidad usually comes out on top thanks to their superior armor and weapons, but the one or two wounded soldiers left standing pose much less of an obstacle than two dozen trained killers with itchy trigger fingers. | |

Necromunda has a gameplay mechanic for the 'Shoot Out' scenario sees each player make a Nerve check for their gangnote in 1st and 2nd Edition or a Cool check for each fighternote in 3rd Edition each turn. To represent the building tension, these tests are cumulative and once the result reaches a specific value someone snaps and goes for their gun, causing all hell to break loose. | |

While General Hummel urges the SEALs to surrender, Marines Frye and Darrow have no patience and push a piece of rubble off the walls. The resulting crash causes one of the SEALs to panic and open fire. All of the SEALs and a few Marines are killed in the ensuing firefight. | |

In the film version of Children of Men, the battle between the military and the rebels is cut short when the hero comes through, holding the first baby in nearly two decades, as everyone looks on in awe, not wanting to harm it and quite possibly starting to cool down in general. Not long after he's cleared the battlefield, though, someone fires their gun and the whole thing starts again. Then the carpet bombing starts, more or less rendering the exercise moot anyway. | |

One of the best examples of this in Survival of the Fittest is the Mexican Standoff between David Jackson, Jacob Starr, and Peri Barclay. To cut a long story short, Jacob snaps and starts shooting and a large fight ensues. Remarkably, very few people were injured. | |

The movie Tombstone portrays the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral as a tense standoff before a sly wink from Doc Holiday to Billy Clanton turns it into a full blown Blast Out. | |

The ending of The Wild Bunch. A literal Mexican Stand Off between The Bunch and The Mexican Army ends with everybody (women, children, livestock, etc.) getting killed in a hail of bullets, complete with a heavy machine gun blazing. | |

The movie Desperado, where the main character gets into a Blast Out with an entire bar full of Mexican gangsters and somehow manages to survive. We never even see how he manages to survive a shoot-out with an entire casa full of goons! | |

Done on an organisation-wide basis in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Steve Rogers broadcasts that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by HYDRA, causing the loyalists and the infiltrators to point guns at each other, including Agent 13 and Brock Rumlow. Brock drops his pistol in apparent surrender, then uses a knife to slash 13's gun-arm. Everyone then starts shooting at each other. | |

In Caliban's War, Prax, who is searching for his kidnapped daughter, is in the middle of a tense standoff that looks like it might actually end peacefully — he then tries performing a dramatic gun cock because that's what heroes in action films always do — and inadvertently turns the Mexican Standoff into a Blast Out. | |

The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe: Francois' pal Maurice, a practical joker, hands out a couple of exploding cigars — one of which, late in the picture, goes off in an ashtray during a tense Mexican Standoff between four men, all of whom promptly shoot each other. | |

In The Brass Teapot Arnie and his wife, and the two Hasidic brothers pull guns on each other over possession of the titular Teapot near the movie’s climax. It’s not long before one of them shoots and they all kill each other. | |

Double subverted on Justified when US Marshal Raylan Givens is in a tense standoff with two armed criminals. Raylan is able to calm them down and convince them that surrender is their best option. However, both thugs then realize that only one of the will be able to get a immunity in exchange for testify against their bosses. They start arguing and then turn their guns on each other. Before Raylan can talk them down again, they open fire and kill each other. The show consistently subverts this trope when smart characters like Raylan, Boyd or Limehouse are involved. They will avoid a blast out by talking the opposition down or even suggesting a mutually beneficial deal. When a Detroit mobster called Picker is introduced in season 4, he is established as the Only Sane Man among Nicky Augustino's crew when he walks away from a Mexican Standoff with Raylan and Constable Bob for the simple reason that there was nothing to be gained from shooting it out. |

The Grand Duel: The Saxons agree to meet Clayton at the cattle pens. At the confrontation, when Clayton approaches, David says that the three must draw first to overcome Clayton's faster and expert gunplay. Vermeer, from a distance, shoots off Clayton's hat so that he draws first. It works and Clayton reacts by killing the three men and only getting a small wound. | |
