What if someone's pointing a gun at you at point blank and you're not Nigh-Invulnerable or Immune to Bullets? Well, you can hope the gunshot won't kill you, the gun fails, or, if you're in a cartoon, stick your finger in the barrel. Apparently, fingers are completely bulletproof. What happens is that the shooter fires anyway (even though they shouldn't). The victim and his finger are uninjured, the gun explodes, and the shooter is injured and has an Ash Face. Another variation can occur in which the character does stick their finger in the barrel anyways, but the fingers come out painfully throbbing. Things are very different in Real Life. Subtrope of Television Is Trying to Kill Us and Guns Do Not Work That Way. One of the Tropes Examined by the MythBusters (multiple times, as apparently viewers were really unsure if sticking your finger in a gun barrel was safe or not). Compare Bullet Catch and Banana in the Tailpipe. Barehanded Blade Block is the Sword Counterpart. Point That Somewhere Else works a lot better, and less riskier on your fingers. Also see Reliably Unreliable Guns and Convenient Misfire when the gun fails without the finger. Nothing to do with Finger Gun and Finger Firearms. Obviously, in Real Life, a terrible idea. Trying this will almost always lead to the loss of a finger at the least, while the shooter and gun are unharmed. |

In Support Your Local Sheriff, when Old Man Danby comes to get his son out of jail, he walks into the sheriff's office and points a gun in his face. McCullough just looks up at him and casually sticks his finger in the gun. Afterwards, when Danby protests that the gun could've gone off in his face, McCullough admits that it wouldn't have done his finger much good either. | |

Vanessa pulls this against one of Chris's revolvers in Symphogear XV. It was more of a desperation maneuver than anything, as she lost her hand in the process (being a cyborg, this didn't impede her much). | |

One episode of The Simpsons has Homer putting a flower into several of the police's guns (see real Life for more why). One of them fires anyway, and gets a flower embedded into his head. "The Falcon and the D'ohman" shows a former CIA black ops agent named Wayne. During a flashback to his extensive training, we see him up against a tank where he simply jams a clench fisted arm into the barrel which causes it to explode and Wayne simply blows the suet off his uninjured hand, all while not even flinching. |

In Robin Vol 1 Tim manages to cork the gun barrel of Dorrance's right hand man by throwing a screw into it from a couple of floors up which caused the gun to backfire somehow. In Robin (1993) he went on to develop a fast expanding and drying epoxy to toss at guns which would cause them to backfire since it blocked and warped the barrel. This epoxy cost Johnny Warlock a hand since he refused to listen to the warning, or take note of the state of his gun, while trying to kill a woman he'd been torturing and Robin. | |

When Klong captures Penelope, Sergeant Blast tries to shoot at him, but Klong sticks his finger in the barrel of the Army Surplus Special's cannon, resulting in the Sergeant being shot out of his turret. | |

In the Droopy cartoon "Wags to Riches", Spike tries to shoot Droopy in the back of the head with a revolver, but when Droopy turns around just as he pulls the trigger, he panics and stuffs his finger in the barrel. When he pulls the finger out, the finger is blackened and slightly swollen. But as he examines the finger, it shoots him in the face. | |

Variation in the Beast Wars episode "Code of Hero". During the sequence where Dinobot is taking out the Predacons one by one, he brings down Rampage, at least temporarily, by clogging up the largest barrel of his BFG with an entire body - Waspinator's, to be specific - just before the big crab-tank can fire it. It's probably only the third most painful thing to happen to Waspinator in the show. Later, in "Deep Metal," Depth Charge does something similar, using his tail as a projectile, clogging Rampage's missile barrel and causing the missile to explode, damaging Rampage. | |

At one point, some Atlantian soldiers are preparing a large gun for firing when Ben Grimm stuffs his whole arm down the barrel, causing the weapon to explode. Ben then brings four dazed and unconscious Atlantians to Reed's laboratory, saying, "Hey, Reed: I found ya four volunteers." | |

A variation in the first Artemis Fowl book. Mulch is being attacked by a gang of goblins, and their ringleader summons a fireball and then inhales it up his nostrils, with the intention of breathing fire over Mulch. Mulch responds by jamming his thumbs up the goblin's nostrils; he gets his thumbs burned, but the goblin's innards take most of the damage. | |

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in the past, Dukes does this with a tank cannon and puts his entire hand in, causing the tank to explode from the inside. It's a good thing Dukes is super tough. | |

Lilo & Stitch, When Jumba and Pleakley first get the drop on Stitch before Lilo gets in the way, Pleakley sticks his finger in the barrel of the gun while Jumba reads up on his Earth history. Problem is, the barrel's about five times wider than Pleakley's finger, so it wouldn't have done much anyway. When Stitch steals Jumba's plasma pistol, Jumba jams a carrot in the barrel right as he fires. This causes the gun to go into an overload spiral, eventually exploding violently and leveling the house. |

In The Girl Hunters, Mike Hammer does a different version when he thinks The Mole might shoot him with a double-barrelled shotgun. He props the shotgun muzzle down on a soft clay surface, so a plug of clay jams in the barrels. The results are not pretty. He pulls something similar in the 1982 film adaptation of I, the Jury. | |
