One way of demonstrating Ludicrous Mêlée Accuracy (or even Improbable Aiming Skills) is combining it with Bomb Disposal: cutting (or shooting) the fuses.
See also Wire Dilemma. Not to be confused with Cutting the Knot, though it can be an example of that at the same time.

In the Villain episode 5 of Batman: The Telltale Series, cutting the yellow wire deactivates the bombs. This is Chekhov's Skill later at the dinner party, when Bruce throws a knife blade to cut the yellow wire from a distance.

Looney Tunes:
In Dough Ray Me-ow, Louie the parrot tries to disarm a stick of dynamite by cutting off the top of the fuse with a pair of scissors; against all logic, no matter how many times he cuts off the fuse, it just keeps continuing to spark further down the stick.
