Okay, we've all done it or seen it done--those times when the runners decide to follow Rules #34 and #37 of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates: #34: If you're leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun and #37: There is no “overkill�. There is only “open fire� and “I need to reload�. Invariably, these occasions are highly entertaining and happen often enough that there are terms for them: chunky salsa effect, red mist effect, standing empty boots effect, etc.

So, share your stories of the times when the runners decided that it wasn't enough to just kill their opponents, but that it was necessary to reduce them to bloody smears on the walls and floor and ceiling (bonus points will be given for especially humorous writeups).
