Bang! Hit! Fall to ground! This trope describes the standard order of sound effects whenever someone gets hit by a bullet: gunshot sound, then exploding Squib to simulate the hit. In real life, because most bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, the order is actually the bullet hitting, then the sound of the gunshot catching up. This trope is so common, it may be considered an Omnipresent Trope. Indeed, most of the examples below are notable as aversions of this trope rather than indications of the countless times this appears in media as the standard effect for simulated gunfire.
