|
| rdfs:comment | - Basic Trope: In fiction, people will attempt to run straight away from guns, even though they will summarily get shot.
* Straight: An assassin pulls a gun on his target. The target runs away. The assassin kills him from ten feet away rather than three.
* Exaggerated: The assassin was driving a tank. The target still thought he could run away.
* Justified: They're shooting at Zeno.
* Inverted: A gunman chases down his target rather than shooting him.
* The gunman's target turns out to be Superman, and so does move faster than the bullets.
* Subverted: The target runs away, the assailant readies his gun... and it jams.
* Double Subverted: He pulls out another gun and shoots the target with that.
* Parodied: After the target goes behind cover, the bullets stop

* Parodied: After the target goes behind cover, the bullets stop in midair and turn to follow him.
* Deconstructed: ???
* Reconstructed: ???
* Zig Zagged: The bullets turn to follow the target, until the assassin can't take it anymore and pistol whips the target.
* Averted: The target takes cover, runs in a zig-zag pattern, or runs toward the assailant.
* Enforced: ???
* Lampshaded: "No, no, no; if you want to kill someone, what you do is, you pull the gun on the target and you wait until they inevitably try to run in a straight line for some reason."
* Invoked: ???
* Defied: A cowardly target takes his final stand as his life is threatened at gunpoint.
* Discussed: "Don't run. You'll only die tired."
* Conversed: ??? Back to Slower Than a Speeding Bullet
