A character is being shot at. Multiple rounds are fired, but this is a reality where superpowers and high-tech shields exist and the bullets are stopped mid-flight, hovering in their place. The bad guys with the guns all watch as the rounds slowly turn in the mid-air and then... WHAM! All the expended rounds do a 180 and are fired on the foe who made the shot. The character (often the hero) has some superpower in the form of telekinesis that can stop the ammo before it even comes close, and then (usually) uses it against the opponents. A subtrope of Attack Reflector. Compare Bullet Catch, Catch and Return, Bullet Dodges You, Playing Tennis with the Boss. |

The ability of the protagonist from the game Ubersoldier, which adds some variety to what is otherwise a bog-standard first-person shooter. | |

The Matrix has a scene like this near the end, where Neo stops the Agents' bullets after resurrecting as The One, except that the bullets simply fall to the ground after being stopped rather than being reflected at the enemy. The Matrix: Path of Neo allows you to do the same exact thing, with the added ability to send the collected bullets right back at targets. | |

Sylar gets two: once with glass, to find an invisible foe, and once with an actual gun in the season one finale. He also does it in Volume 3 with a bullet fired at someone else. |

Mars Matrix has a similar mechanic. Instead of immediately reflecting the bullets, your ship absorbs them and can be aimed by moving in the opposite direction of where you want to fire them. | |

In 8-Bit Theater Sarda uses some very creative portals and teleportations to move an entire swarm of arrows, and the person that shot them at him, several hundred miles away in such a way that the shooter winds up on the receiving end of the arrow barrage he just fired. See? | |

One Vigor you can find late into BioShock Infinite allows you catch bullets and smoosh them into a ball of molten lead that you can then hurl back at an enemy shooter. This uses a lot of salts, though, so it isn't the most practical option you have. | |

In Warframe this is an ability possessed by Mag, the magnetism warframe. The ability is called, oddly enough, Magnetize and can be held to have Mag catch all projectiles (whether metal or not) in a swirling vortex of magnetic energy in front of her, until you release it to send them flying out in front of her. She displays this ability to devastating effect in the game's opening cinematic. | |

Titanfall and its sequel have the Vortex Shield. What happens is your Titan sticks out its hand as a disk of energy grabs all physical projectiles (like bullets, rockets, etc.) and sends them back. In the sequel, this is especially effective against Legion. | |

The 3.5 Dungeons & Dragons supplement the Expanded Psionics Handbook introduces a psionic feat call "Return Shot''. Epic level monks in 3.5 can take a feat that lets them hit magic spells so hard they turn around and hit the caster. There's also the (rather underwhelming) Peripety epic spell. |

The central mechanic of the arcade game Giga Wing. rRootage attempts to simulate this with GW Mode, but instead, catching a bullet fires a laser at the boss. Mars Matrix has a similar mechanic. Instead of immediately reflecting the bullets, your ship absorbs them and can be aimed by moving in the opposite direction of where you want to fire them. Also the most central mechanic in Siter Skain's RefleX. |

In the Hellsing anime, Incognito actually lets all of Alucard's Depleted Phlebotinum Shells hit him... and then laughs it off and blasts Alucard with the same bullets. Of course Alucard being Alucard, this doesn't stick for long either. | |
