This comic refers to the common method for reloading your ammunition in arcade game type shooters, also known as "rail shooters." The player is typically given a {{w|Light gun}}, and the player characters typically have unlimited magazines of ammunition; to load a new magazine, the player would aim their light gun away from the screen and pull the trigger. Obviously this method of reloading would not work in real life.{{citation needed}}

This refers to the random figures that pop out at many games; if they are not a valid target and you shoot them, you will lose points.
