In movies and television, it is possible to shoot around somebody's feet, or in a door shape at a wall, and create a method of escape. Unfortunately, as MythBusters has proven, it requires many, many bullets and a lot of time to do this. With a BFG like a Vulcan gun or large-caliber machine gun, it might be faster; but more likely than not, applying that much stress to the wall would simply collapse it. After all, you're basically trying to saw through the floor (or wall), a task guns weren't exactly designed for. See also Shoot Out the Lock and There Was a Door. Contrast Concealment Equals Cover, where bullets can't go through anything the shooter can't see through at all. See also Impact Silhouette for when one creates an opening physically. |

In a magical variant from The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, the Norse god Thor uses his flying hammer to bash through a floor to which he's been superglued by Odin's lackey. It smashes its way up and down through the floorboards until he can walk away unharmed, albeit with wooden splinters coating his limbs and back. | |

Rainbow Six Siege is a game based around manipulating the highly destructible environment of maps to gain entry and advantageous angles over opponents. Every firearm can easily blast massive holes in soft surfaces like planks, plywood, and drywall, but the wooden supports inside can only be destroyed efficiently by shotguns, explosives, and mechanical gadgets to allow movement through them. | |

In RoboCop 3 the main character makes a bad habit of this. In his first action scene, he feels the need to shoot out a section of the roof of his car and punch a hole through it rather than open the door. Later on, he, a cyborg weighing hundreds of kilograms and who has repeatedly proven himself able to smash through walls with no damage, wants to enter the hotel room of a baddie. Instead of smashing right through the flimsy wooden door, he wastes dozens of bullets (all without reloading) in shooting out his silhouette in the door, through which he then enters the room. | |

James Bond series: Licence to Kill: Pam Bouvier (the Bond Girl of the week) fires a shotgun at a wall and creates a perfectly round hole to escape through, rather than just pock-marking it with a shot. Must be a mighty thin wall. Skyfall, near the climax Bond is caught by the Big Bad Silva with another mook armed with a submachine gun atop a frozen lake. Silva is a decent distance away and has a gun pointed at Bond ready to kill him, so Bond quickly spins and grabs the mook's hands, forcing him to fire in a circle around them at the ice to weaken it enough so that their combined weight causes it to break and for the two of them to drop down into the cold water. Silva lets out a sigh and decides to move on, as while Bond has been a major obstacle he is not the main target of his ire — that would be M. |

In The Long Kiss Goodnight, Charley Baltimore (Geena Davis) uses a submachine gun to shoot out a window to use to escape a bomb, then on the way down to the frozen lake below she uses it again (without reloading, naturally) to weaken the ice enough that she and Samuel L. Jackson's character don't kill themselves by getting splattered all over the ice when they hit it. Not that falling three floors into the water is much more enjoyable, but that's another trope. | |

In the squad-level strategy Silent Storm, with destructible environments, cinematic physics, and big guns, blowing man-sized holes in the walls and floors is a viable way to maneuver. The risk of collapse is there, too. Additionally, this makes a submachine gun a far faster method to "open" a locked door than lockpicks (though the player IS penalized for excessive collateral damage). | |

Taken to extremes in Red Faction. If it's not made of unbreakable metal (most things aren't), you can blow holes in it. Works for blowing a passage in a wall, but also for carving tunnels in rock and moving through entire areas of a level. Gets especially hilarious with bulletproof glass. It's entirely possible to blast out all the concrete around it, leaving it floating in mid-air. |

Nemesis did the floor variety about a decade before Underworld (2003) did, and much more crazily, too, as Alex shoots his way through several floors at once, screaming as he plunges. It was probably one of Albert Pyun's most ambitious effect shots in his career. Nemesis also has a pair of machine gun-toting goons shooting actual human outlines, Impact Silhouette style, to go through a wall. |

Technically doable with the destructible walls in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, although it takes a huge amount of ammunition and time as well as being very likely to alert any nearby guards, while Adam can get an augmentation that lets him punch straight through instead. Explosions are very effective at wall-breaking, but generally, the only explosives that wouldn't be wasted breaking down a single wall are revolver rounds with the exploding ammo upgrade and possibly a frag grenade/mine. The aug is still arguably better because it will point out to you hidden, breakable parts of walls. Curiously, you can also destroy doors with guns and explosives, but not with the wall-punching aug. |

As the heroes try to escape from a pursuing helicopter in Sahara (2005), they use an assault rifle to perforate an ancient rock wall so that their car can break through. | |

In Batman (1989), the Batmobile uses its machine guns to enter the Axis Chemicals building. Somewhat more realistically, it doesn't cut out an outline or hole so much as shoot out the lower part of the door high enough to drive through. | |

Not a method of escape, but of infiltration: In Sonic X, Tails creates a perforated circle on the side of Dr. Eggman's headquarters, which Sonic "punches out" with a spindash. Perfect! | |

Doctor Who: In "The Doctor Dances" and "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead" respectively, Captain Jack and River Song make doors with a sonic blaster (also called a "squareness gun") that can remove sections of wall and replace them with ease. This drains the batteries heavily, though. | |

It was used as the example in Mythbusters. The movie used two 9 mm guns with one magazine each to escape; Mythbusters couldn't do it with over 350 9mm rounds fired by a MP5 submachine gun, even after using a 12 gauge shotgun to weaken structural support timbers. (After two guys worked on it for half an hour, including a great deal of stomping on the weakened section of floor, they broke through.) | |

Underworld (2003) uses the "floor" variety. It was used as the example in Mythbusters.

(After two guys worked on it for half an hour, including a great deal of stomping on the weakened section of floor, they broke through.) Selene does it again with the bottom of a rapidly descending elevator in Underworld: Awakening. Subverted, it doesn't work. The elevator lands on her, but the bullets made the floor weak enough (and she's tough enough) that it doesn't particularly bother her. |

Buzzsaw variation and subversion in Van Helsing. Van Helsing is trapped in a heavy bell and uses his buzzsaws to cut a hole in the floor. When Hyde lifts the bell to investigate the noise and sees the hole (which is too small for Van Helsing to pass through), it turns out that it was Van Helsing's plan to get Hyde to free him by hiding in the top of the bell. | |

The boss Puppet from Odium introduces himself this way in a cinematic, by suddenly blasting his way out of a wall with a healthy dose of More Dakka. (And then, during the actual battle, he just stands there and doesn't move.) | |

In an episode of Stargate Atlantis, Larrin uses an energy gun much like Ronon's (in fact, her people is where it came from) to melt a door through a wall in an Atlantean ship. She has to burn most of the gun's power supply to do it, though, and it takes her a fair amount of time to pull off. | |

Most of the XCOM series has allowed the player to blast his way through walls to get to the hostile aliens - particularly viable once you get access to powerful, alien weapons. You can even drill your way through a yards-thick wall with a powerful enough gun. A lot of players take this as doctrine; as aliens only recognize existing entrances, creating new ones can allow you to surprise camping enemies. Conventional explosives do it well in buildings. UFO hulls aren't breached on the first try even with a satchel, though it still hurts an alien standing behind the wall. Especially good once you realize that the most powerful alien weapon can knock down the outer hull of a UFO. Combined with Flying Suits, this makes for excellent pincer attacks. Instead of going through a cramped UFO with lots of hiding places, you fly up and blast a hole in the top floor, swooping in and taking out the commander which not only makes your fight easier (commanders usually have the same weapon and high stats), it also decreases morale for the regular mooks, potentially making them panic and drop their weapons. Not to mention that UFO engines (and therefore elerium/zrbite) are usually located on the lower levels. |

Lensman Kim Kinnison does this in order to defeat enemies and enter a ship's control room in Children of the Lens, but he brings two heavy laser cannons and an exceedingly powerful machine-gun to the fight, and the scene realistically has him worrying about whether he'll drill through in time. | |

Ban does this in the Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger movie. When the villain starts a pretty impressive barrage even for that series, he fires at the ground in slow-motion and escapes through the hole - then jumps back up, returning fire, the first chance he gets. | |

This is the only way to open most doors in the Metroid series and you need different weapons for different colored doors. However, the blast usually just deactivates the color-coded force field and opens the door normally, rather than damaging it. | |
