The guy getting blown away at the start of Robocop is so amazingly visceral that I still marvel at it every time I see it. The sheer horror right before the carnage starts is great, as the guy has absolutely nowhere to go, but the payoff of the guy's body being absolutely pulped by close-range volleys while it lays on the model of of the city is horrifyingly disturbing. The guy's body is basically being disintegrated.
It's so awful it makes me wonder what would have happened if ED-209's countdown had ended while he was in the crowd at the conference room. Now that would have been some gore.
