A variant of Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics, where a bullet, arrow, stone, whatever, ricochets off several objects before finally hitting its target. Can be either accidental or just a sign of the shooter's skill. A sister-trope, Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball, describes instances when an item ricochets, causing random damage. That is not this trope; this always has a definite target, even if the shot hits the target as a result of pure luck. To pull this off intentionally means you're either The Gunslinger or an exceptional (and highly unrealistic) Master Archer; pulling it off accidentally makes you incredibly lucky. This is often a characteristic of the Precision-Guided Boomerang, though returning to the wielder is not necessary. You may find one in a Trick Shot Puzzle. Technically Truth in Television, but with a huge asterisk — see real-life examples. Most treatments in fiction are Artistic License – Physics at its finest, the biggest issues being the number of ricochettes, and the ability to control the angle of deflection. Compare Reflecting Laser and Coin-Targeting Trickshot. Also see Bouncing Battler, where a character uses this as a fighting technique. |

In Ranma ½ the detachable blade ring of the Kinjakan is meant to be used like this. When Ranma steals it from the Phoenix people and tries to use it acts like a Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball, and a Phoenix woman tells him that it takes years of training to use the weapon properly. Then Ranma immediately uses it a second time, the ring bounces exactly where he wants it to go, and Ranma gives a smug smirk. | |

Descent's Phoenix Cannon ricochets twice off surfaces. A skilled player can use it to shoot robots around corridors. A less skilled player is likely to try to use it to open a door (which works fine for other weapons) and get his own shots bounced back in his face for a highly embarrassing death. | |

In Reconstruction, Church lands an impossible ricochet shot on the Meta... by accident, and it ricochets nine times before hitting the Meta in the foot. Hardly an ideal shot, even if he meant to do it, though it does prove to be helpful... by providing the heroes with a trail of blood to follow. | |

Mega Man (Classic): Mega Man 8: The Mega Ball produces a small ball that, upon being shot or slid into, launches at an angle and bounces off of walls. The weapon also appears in Marvel vs. Capcom as one of Mega Man's moves, where it functions the same way (albeit bouncing off of the sides of the screen). Mega Man 10: Strike Man's Rebound Striker qualifies for this — on the third bounce, it heads directly for Mega Man. Mega Man 11: After defeating Bounce Man, Mega Man acquires the Bounce Ball, a weapon that fires three balls (six with the Power Gear active) that ricochet off walls. Unlike the Rebound Striker from 10, they don't get stronger with each bounce, functioning more like a combination of the Triple Blade from the same game and the Mega Ball from 8. |

In Borderlands 2, multiple classes can do this: Sirens have a skill that causes enemy bullets to do this, reflecting them back at other enemies. Another one of her skills also allows her Phaselock orb to pinball between targets. Mechromancers have two skills that cause bullet ricochet, one of her trees even encouraging this practice. |

In his final match against Shooter, a lookout tower gets in the way of the final hole thanks to a flunkie Shooter hired to ruin Happy's shot.

Discworld: In Pyramids, a young assassin decides to flunk his exam when he finds out that it will end with killing a live target. He misses the target intentionally, but the arrow ricochets a few times in this manner and ends up hitting the target anyway. The examiner misunderstands and thinks that he was just showing off, and lets him pass. (And, to round up a happy ending, the victim turns out to have been a fake too.) In Reaper Man, Bill Door is very good at pool, but realises that when it comes to a friendly game at the pub, you get more friends by losing entertainingly, and uses his skill to set up shots that "accidentally" send the cue ball flying off the table and ricocheting around the room before landing harmlessly in somebody's pint mug. There are the trick shots Archchancellor Ridcully sets up on his pool table. Being a Discworld wizard, his "trick shots" involve bouncing the cue ball off of passing seagulls, the back of the Bursar's head (last Tuesday, no less!), and possibly even itself. Ridcully manages to invert this once with the help of Ponder Stibbons. A bit of magical trickery allows the cue ball to pass through the various piles of paperwork and junk on the table, by rolling into a flat parallel universe when it would normally bound off something. Ponder set up this stunt to impress Ridcully into accepting his department's budgetary needs. |

World of Warcraft: During the Warlord Zon'Ozz encounter, the primary encounter mechanic is bouncing an orb between two sets of players; the orb does increasing damage each time it hits a player, divided between all players. After a certain point, you must hit the boss with an orb, putting a damage-increasing debuff on him. If the orb hits the wall of the arena without hitting a player, it will damage all players, and this most often resulted in a wipe when Dragon Soul was current. On Heroic, the Iron Juggernaut's sawblade bounces between players. Demon Hunters can use the Throw Glaive ability, which ricochets a demonic weapon across three enemies. |

Robin Hood (1973): Robin pulls this off by shooting an arrow that had gone off course with another arrow, correcting the trajectory of the first arrow and sending it straight into the bullseye, Robin Hooding the one that was already in there. Trigger, one of the Sheriff's vulture lackeys, does the accidental version a couple of times with his crossbow. Apparently even when the safety is on (or when he thinks that it is). In the final shot of the movie he attempts to "present arms", it goes off, and the bolt bounces around before hitting one of the hearts on Robin Hood's wedding carriage. |

Xena's chakram from Xena: Warrior Princess, which bounces off rocks, pillars, and mooks' heads before returning to her hand. Exaggerated in an episode featuring a "Groundhog Day" Loop. To break the loop, Xena has to (among other things) stop a young noblewoman from committing suicide with a vial of poison. However, the distance from where Xena wakes up every morning to where the girl does the deed is too far to reach in the time allowed, in addition to stopping everything else going wrong that day. So she spends at least one day ignoring everything else to take measurements, angles, and distances. When she wakes up again, the first thing she does is go outside, gauge the wind, and throw her chakram across, through, above and between several city blocks in order to be exactly where the poison vial will be when it gets there, as well as putting a stop to everything else along the way. And it returns to her hand afterwards. | |

Metal Gear: Revolver Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid can bounce bullets off the wall to hit the player around corners. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater lets you do this as well once you get your hands on a Colt Single-Action Army, though its usefulness doesn't go far beyond Rule of Cool since it's 100% reliant on your own ability to use it with no auto-aiming feature. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain brings back the Ricochet Revolver as the "Tornado-6". It's based on the Mateba 2006M (made by the same company that made the Model 6 Unica semiauto revolver) and named after "Tornado" Yoshida, Revolver Ocelot's motion capture actor. |

Warframe features the Cedo, a magazine-fed automatic shotgun with the unique property of an alternate fire mode, launching a glaive that ricochets off walls, floors, and enemies to cover its victims in horrible miasmas that load them down with debilitating status effects.

In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, main character Dante in a cutscene hurls a pool table into the air, then shoots the white ball. This causes the white ball to rebound off every single other ball, which then hit and kill a Mook each.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: The scales Tidal Najarala throws from its tail are not sound-sensitive like those of the standard Najarala (which explode when that monster roars in order to hurt the hunter or prey it's fighting against). Instead, they're thrown so the water globules Tidal spits hit them to be redirected onto their targeted enemy. Sometimes the globule, after hitting a scale, goes to hit another before aiming at the hunter to further trick them. | |

Hanzo from Overwatch used to be able fire a special projectile, the "Scatter Arrow". Upon hitting an obstacle, the arrow split into bouncing projectiles, which was useful for taking down enemies in a large area. Too useful, which is why it was eventually removed and reworked into "Storm Arrow", which just lets him fire multiple arrows in a quick burst, making the lethality based off of player skill rather than geometry, though the arrows do still bounce once each. He still retains the ability in Heroes of the Storm, however. | |

The Borderlands series: In Borderlands 2, multiple classes can do this: Sirens have a skill that causes enemy bullets to do this, reflecting them back at other enemies. Another one of her skills also allows her Phaselock orb to pinball between targets. Mechromancers have two skills that cause bullet ricochet, one of her trees even encouraging this practice. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! has multiple weapons that can do this: The Viral Marketer line of Legendary Weapons guns have their shots ricochet, and deal damage on hit, if it doesn't hit an enemy, referenced in its Flavor Text, and name: "Trick Shot" prefix guns have bullets that bounce if they don't hit an enemy. Min Min Lighter Legendary Lasers fire ball lightning that shock nearby enemies, and bounce off things if they don't dissipate before they hit the object. Borderlands 3: On top of their hat as the Critical Hit Class of the manufacturers, any Jakobs firearm you find will be capable of this; as soon as you score a critical hit, that shot will bounce off to a nearby target. |

In Halo series, a single sniper rifle shot can make multiple ricochets, to the point where players have occasionally killed multiple enemies with only one round (usually by complete accident); the beam rifle is capable of something similar. Additionally, the Scattershot (introduced in Halo 4) is a Hard Light shotgun whose rounds will ricochet off surfaces (which is almost mandatory due to its piss-poor range), making it very deadly in enclosed indoor environments. And yes, it is entirely possible for the bullet to bounce back and kill the player who fired it. | |

In Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and its sequels, the Wookiee Bowcaster's secondary fire mode shoots an energy bolt that can ricochet off solid objects up to five times. If it hits a living target it detonates immediately. It's moderately useful for when you know there's a bad guy around a corner and want to get him without exposing yourself to counterattack. Thermal detonators (think hand grenades, more or less) can also be bounced off a wall or other object. | |

Hardly an ideal shot, even if he meant to do it, though it does prove to be helpful... by providing the heroes with a trail of blood to follow. Played with and subverted when Agent Washington picks up a gun in Project Freelancer that fires ricocheting energy pellets. He declares it the worst gun ever. Of all time. |

Unlike most examples of this trope, ricocheting bullets are perfectly capable of hurting you, which makes usage of high damage-per-shot guns very hazardous.

X: Rebirth's Inertial Hammer fires a shotgun-spread of particles wrapped in ferromagnetic fluid, which will ricochet several times after striking targets. It's particularly useful when you have wedged your ship in some narrow space of an enemy capital ship, allowing you to double or triple the effective damage of the gun by ricocheting it. Annoyingly, stations will get angry at you if the ricochets hit their station while you're defending it from Space Pirates. | |

Daredevil (2015): As a kid, Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter was a skilled pitcher in little league baseball. He was so skilled that he almost pitched a perfect game. His team's coach decided to pull him out so that the other team members could still play. Dex pleaded to continue pitching (he erroneously believed that pitching perfectly would resurrect his deceased parents), but he was still pulled out of the game. Sad and enraged, young Dex deliberately threw a baseball that ricocheted off a pole and struck the back of the coach's skull, killing him instantly. As an adult, he's perfected this skill to the point where he can accurately ricochet other objects with deadly force, including bullets. | |

Dragon's Dogma has the Ricochet Seeker/Hunter skill used by the Magick Archer, in which they fire off bolts of lightning magic that bounce around walls and actually get stronger the more they ricochet. As a skill, it is extremely useful in tight indoor environments such as dungeons and caverns and can make short work of enemies (especially those with a weakness to lightning). | |

In Pyramids, a young assassin decides to flunk his exam when he finds out that it will end with killing a live target. He misses the target intentionally, but the arrow ricochets a few times in this manner and ends up hitting the target anyway. The examiner misunderstands and thinks that he was just showing off, and lets him pass. (And, to round up a happy ending, the victim turns out to have been a fake too.) | |

Prevalent in the Touhou Project series: In Lotus Land Story, Reimu, the Stage 4 boss in Marisa's playthrough, has yin-yang orbs that bounce everywhere in her battle, making it even harder for Marisa to dodge them because there are so many of them. One of the possible Stage 4 bosses in Mystic Square, Mai, attacks with bouncing ice spheres that shatter into pieces. She uses this attack pattern at least twice in her battle. |

At one point in Origin Story, Superwoman catches Ragnarok's hammer (which is a weaker copy of Thor's weapon), rips the head off the handle, and crinkles it into a ball. She then tosses it past Ragnarok's head. Ragnarok taunts her with a quick, "You missed." She wasn't aiming at Ragnarok. The metal ball that used to be the hammer's head bounces off a rock, and then bounces off a tree, only to smack into the back of Ares's head so hard the god of war is knocked unconscious. | |

Tribes: The Blaster rifle fires energy bolts that ricochet off of walls and terrain. It's particularly dangerous to the user, as there's nothing stopping the blaster bolts from ricocheting straight back into the user in cramped areas, especially since the bolts go straight through shields. The Spinfusor (the blue exploding frisbee launcher) in all games will ricochet off of water surfaces at shallow angles (and explode at high angles), allowing skilled players to bounce discs under cover or nail plays from unexpected angles. |

Doctor Hawkins in MDK2 can use a loaf of bread together with an atomic toaster to shoot projectile toasts that can bounce off surfaces a few times before sticking to one and exploding. | |

Muri: The Laser ammo splits when hitting a surface head-on, then bounces off at 45 degrees and then keeps bouncing around three times. They don't bounce if they manage to damage a target. | |

In Rifts, a popular sport for Juicers is Deadball, a variation of Handball where the ball may randomly extrude spikes after a bounce or ricochet. Eventually, somebody got the idea to (further) weaponize them with versions that can be set to automatically release Vibroweapon spikes (or better yet, explode) after a set number of bounces. | |

Batman: Arkham Origins: Deadshot, who makes his entrance by shooting down a police helicopter and killing a SWAT officer with the ricochet. His boss fight, which is handled as a Predator encounter, has him regularly lining up shots with three or four ricochets. | |

In Alien: Resurrection, when Christie is held at point range, he puts his hands up as if surrendering, only to just shoot the roof. After bouncing two times on the roof, the bullet hits the guy that was behind him and holding a rifle, going through his helmet with ease, and killing him. Strangely, later, he can't hit a Xenomorph that's running straight at him. He should've tried to bounce it off something. | |

CrossCode has VRPs - Virtual Ricochet Projectiles, which can bounce off surfaces when charged. They serve as both a weapon and a tool for puzzle solving. Every class has their own VRP shape, but triangular and square projectiles ricochet just as well as round ones. | |

Cyberpunk 2077 has this as the overlooked special ability of the "Power Weapon" category of firearms. With a Ballistic Coprocessor hand cyberware piece, ricochet angles will be automatically calculated, and will aim-snap to targets, even when firing from the hip. Building up an intuition of "simple geometry" as the trope image caption entails can enable a player to ricochet easily and frequently on the fly, most commonly with a simple bounce off the ground. A perk in the Engineering perk tree called "Draw the Line" can display ricochet trajectories for these weapons when aiming down sights for more complex ricochet shots, or serve as "training wheels" for building up the angle-eyeballing intuition. | |

Happens in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Flash and Substance": Batman fires a flare into the air, seemingly aiming for Mirror Master, but it ricochets off various objects before falling into a mirror. Mirror Master jeers, "You missed me!", not realizing that Batman launched it in the mirror so the Flash, trapped in a mirror dimension, could find his way back and kick butt. | |
