* In ''~[[Wolf's Rain~]]'', blasts from the Nobles' ships go ''beyond'' [[Roboteching]] -- they change directions in midflight, as if reflecting off invisible walls in the air. [[Rule of Cool|It looks cool]] (and nicely conveys the idea of weapons so advanced as to defy easy comprehension), so [[Bellisario's Maxim|we try to let it be]].
* One of EI-01 (Pasdar)'s attacks in ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'' was a laser than could reflect off particles in the air to hit the heroes from multiple angles. In ''GaoGaiGar FINAL'', TenRyuJin copies the attack, using missiles to scatter hundreds of reflective (and apparently ''refractive'') mirrors, then calculating the angles on the fly to strike the enemy from multiple angles at once. (Pasdar had ''Tokyo's electrical output and computing power'' to make this all work - TenRyuJin complains about how hard the calculations are when she does it.)
** ''GGG'' has one of these on Volfogg's spaceship Susanoh. It fires one gigantic beam (the "Reflector Beam") from the top of the ship and uses a remote-controlled mirror array ("FF Mirrors", standing for Free Float) to aim it.
Line 60:
* Sometimes, blaster shots (lasers) will reflect off of AT-AT's, AT-AA's, and AT-ST's in ''Star Wars: Empire at War'', and off of the three phases of Dark Trooper in the expansion. The special ability of Endor increases the chance of that happening to 20%.
** Wookie Bowcasters in various ''Star Wars'' video games do this. Supposedly because they're solid projectiles "wrapped" in laser bolts....
* One of the Gun skills you learn in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' is one where the character releases several orbs of light, then fires lasers from their gun in several directions. The orbs then reflect them to strike the target at several angles.
* In ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'', ships can be equipped with "reflective surfaces" that gives a small chance of deflecting lasers.
** This is a subversion, as lasers in Sword of the Stars never reflect off of a surface that is just flat, but reflect off of flat and non-flat surfaces that have the reflective coating. Angle also seems to matter.
