One way to emphasize More Dakka, or at least how powerful a weapon is, is showing all the bullet casings being ejected out of that gun. Expect this to be noisy. In scenarios involving Humongous Mecha, the falling bullet casings from said mecha's guns can be large enough to present a danger to whoever and whatever is unlucky enough to be under them. Compare Dramatic Gun Cock. Contrast Cartridges in Flight, for when the shells are fired out along with the bullet in precisely the way real-life ones don't. When combined with Bottomless Magazines, may raise the Fridge Logic of where all that ammunition was before it was fired... |

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. In "The Mad Mad Tea Party Affair", a THRUSH agent empties his gun at some UNCLE agents, and a bunch of casings get thrown from off-camera in an apparent attempt to invoke this trope. Presumably the idea was the ejected casings had hit the wall and fallen back into view. | |

The Black★Rock Shooter TV anime absolutely relishes in this. When the gatling guns come out, expect them to basically vomit spent shells in every direction, leaving huge piles littered around the ground that are often bigger than the combatants and their firearms combined. | |

The Matrix: The most obvious example is when Neo saves Morpheus, complete with Gatling Goodness, but almost any other time they use guns you can expect some showcasing of spent, um, casings. During the lobby shootout there's a Slow Motion shot of spend casings raining down from the hem of Neo's Badass Longcoat — except they're rifle casings, not pistol casings as would be fired from the Scorpion submachine guns he's firing Guns Akimbo. |

In Waterworld, a Smoker operating a Maxon Mount four-machine gun chassis in the atoll assault scene showers the boat it is mounted on and his crew with hundreds of .50 calibre brass shells. The crew is also seen shoveling up the spent casings into buckets, presumably because the metal casings were very scarce in a post-deluge world and would be reseated with new powder and bullets after the battle. | |

The most famous example in the franchise occurs in Mobile Suit Gundam F91 during the Crossbone Vanguard's takeover of Frontier IV, when one of the colony's G-Cannons fires a spread of machine cannon rounds at Crossbone Vanguard units. The resulting shell casings fall over a woman carrying a child, with one hitting her in the head and killing her instantly. Cecily rescues the child and he spends the remainder of the movie with the protagonists. | |

Several Super Robot Wars games feature this during attack animations for units that use shell-firing weapons. Macross Valkyrie units do this, ejecting a shower of spent gunpod brass in strafing runs or when blazing away with all weapons. Oddly, the strafing run animation suggests that the spent shells follow gravity, but all other animations treat them as weightless in zero-G. On the other hand, the Alt Eisen has its Revolver Stake, which is fired by a cylinder of shells in its arm. One of its attacks involves completely emptying the weapon into an enemy's face, then opening the cylinder and ejecting all six empty shells on the ground around it in a noisy spray. | |

Fallout 4 features this extensively. Every single ballistic weapon visually ejects casings appropriate to the caliber it is chambered for. These casings then drop to the ground, bounce and roll physically correct and make metallic noises while they're at it. Although the game has a rather low limit of how many casings it displays and how long they linger, mods are available to extend these numbers almost indefinitely. Nothing like mowing down a hostile outpost from an elevated position with a minigun and finding yourself ankle-deep in a shiny brass carpet sparkling in the light of the sunset. And they say romance is dead. | |

Stargate SG-1: Shows up in Stargate: The Ark of Truth. During the course of the movie Replicators get unleashed on the Odyssey. A group of airmen guard the entrance to the Asgard Computer Core so Carter and Marks can find the command to shut the Replicators down. By the time they do, the hall way is covered in spent shells and Replicator blocks. Also showed up in the show proper during the episode "Allegiance". In an attempt to kill the cloaked Goa'uld assassin, O'Neill lays down heavy fire with a squad support machine gun. At one point the action slows down so you can see the action working on the machine gun and the casings ejecting. This trope is why the show switched the team's weapons from MP5s to P90s. When a scene called for the team to stand side to side while firing, the production team realized the side ejecting MP5s would send spent shells into the faces of the actors. So they switched to the P90 which ejects spent casings downward. |

Mass Effect 2 The limiting factor on the guns' ammunition isn't the ammunition itself but the heat sinks that allow them to keep firing without melting. Whenever Shepard reloads he ejects a spent heat sink that looks remarkably like a red-hot shell casing. Deconstructed in Zaeed's loyalty mission where a spent heat sink ignites a fuel trail and causes an explosion. Also played straight in the case of the machine guns on some vehicle/vehicle sized enemies - the Viper gunship, YMIR mech and geth Prime all have spent casings. These are apparently lots of heatsinks being rapidly ejected, as heavy weapons load multiple sinks with each reload. |

The Mass Effect 3 Groundside Resistance Pack DLC includes, among others, the N7 Typhoon light machine gun. This BFG is not only obscenely powerful and comes with several goodies like in-built penetration, increased damage resistance while aiming and the largest clip size out of any weapon in the game - it's also the only infantry weapon in the entire trilogy to invoke this trope. The justification seems to be the same as the heavy machine guns' mentioned above, given how the spent "casings" look an awful lot like many, many tiny thermal clips. The Typhoon still ejects a glowing standard heat sink during reloading, though. And for some reason, the casing shower effect disappears the moment the shooter activates a special ammo type. | |

Starcraft II: When Valerian Mengsk invades Char General Warfield is desperately holding a position against the Zerg and this trope is used to show exactly how dire a situation he and his men are in. They're up to their ankles in spent shells, but even with all that dakka they are still about to be overun with Zerg. Also inverted when Raynor guns down a hydralisk Zerg in one shot with his heavy penetration rifle. The shell is big enough that it embeds itself in the ground with a thunk when it ejects, like the Ring in The Lord of the Rings films when Bilbo finally lets go and drops it to the floor. |

Happens repeatedly in various Gundam anime, which is bad news for any innocent bystanders, considering the shells are typically a) the size of two-liter soda bottles, b) several kilograms heavy at the very least, and c) falling from several stories up. In the very first episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Amuro is nearly killed by spent casings from a Zaku's pan-fed machine gun after running out of an emergency shelter. The most famous example in the franchise occurs in Mobile Suit Gundam F91 during the Crossbone Vanguard's takeover of Frontier IV, when one of the colony's G-Cannons fires a spread of machine cannon rounds at Crossbone Vanguard units. The resulting shell casings fall over a woman carrying a child, with one hitting her in the head and killing her instantly. Cecily rescues the child and he spends the remainder of the movie with the protagonists. In Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, there's a scene in which a civilian, caught in a battle between two mechs, is killed when a mecha-sized empty casing (coming with several others from a mecha-sized machine gun) falls on her head.

Cortex Command has some weapons that eject lots of casings, some weapons that eject very large casings, and some weapons that eject lots of very large casings. If a character stays in the same position and shoots for long enough, it's entirely possible to make quite large piles of empty shell casings - that you can then walk on. | |

Henrietta goes on a killing rampage in the opening scene of Gunslinger Girl, littering the floor with 5.7x28mm shell casings, including a closeup shot of them hitting the floor between her schoolgirl white socks and little black shoes. Later it becomes a plot point when she slips on a spent casing in the Killing House and is told to use a brass catcher in future. | |

Also inverted when Raynor guns down a hydralisk Zerg in one shot with his heavy penetration rifle. The shell is big enough that it embeds itself in the ground with a thunk when it ejects, like the Ring in The Lord of the Rings films when Bilbo finally lets go and drops it to the floor. | |

Black Hawk Down: when a helo's minigun is being fired above a soldier on the ground. One (hot) shell actually falls down the soldier's shirt, burning him a bit. Which makes it a Deconstruction. Also Truth in Television. A fresh hot shell casing down your collar burns pretty much like you'd expect a hot piece of metal falling down your shirt would. Many modern military uniforms include a velcro tab on the underside of the collar so that you can turn it into a mandarin collar to protect yourself from this occupational hazard. Some female gun enthusiasts on YouTube have also confessed to re-evaluating their cleavage limits after such occurences. Also done to a lesser degree throughout the movie, with slow-motion shots of shell-casings being ejected from rifles, particularly towards the end of the movie when ammo is dangerously low and they have been told to make every shot count. |

The Matrix franchise: The Matrix: The most obvious example is when Neo saves Morpheus, complete with Gatling Goodness, but almost any other time they use guns you can expect some showcasing of spent, um, casings. During the lobby shootout there's a Slow Motion shot of spend casings raining down from the hem of Neo's Badass Longcoat — except they're rifle casings, not pistol casings as would be fired from the Scorpion submachine guns he's firing Guns Akimbo. The Matrix Revolutions: Gets taken to extreme in the CGI battle for Zion. |
