The one man army!

This guy should have been born at least 150-200 years ago when knowing how to use a weapon like this would have made him a hero (or at least Jesse James). Hell...it doesn't get better than this guy. Enjoy his skills!

Not to rain on your parade...

"150-200 years ago when knowing how to use a weapon like this would have made him a hero" 150-200 years ago, he wouldn't have had access to high-accuracy, low-recoil shotguns. 200 years ago, he'd have been using shot-and-powder rifles. 150 years ago, he'd be using early-model percussion-cap pistols or rifles, and maybe a prototype machine gun. Not that it's not cool. It is. Just don't underestimate the extent to which it's dependent upon the characteristics of the firearms, rather than the skill of the handler.

Heroes do more then be skillful.

This wouldnt make him more of a hero 200yrs ago then today. I appreciate his skill and it is nice that he shows them off, or maybe competes in sports with it. However the situations he can use these skills in a really heroic(rather then skillful) way are very few. But again, i do admire the skill, but its not heroic.

Yeah but...

what can he do with pistols akimbo? ;)

mmm

I'm no expert but it seems like it would be easier to hit skeets you'd throw yourself, because they'll be moving away from you in a straight line. I'd like to see this guy nail 8 of of them that were shot from a cataplut 50 feett to his right. Still, even with a little showmanship overstating the case, dude has skills.

Recoil reduction

The reason he's able to fire with such accuracy is because he's wielding a Berreta Xtrema2 with very low recoil. Give him an old fashioned shotgun and he sure couldn't pull off the same stunts.

Recoil reduction faggotry

"The reason he's able to fire with such accuracy is because he's wielding a Berreta Xtrema2 with very low recoil." - fail. you get an F-. why do you think he's wearing a vest the that has WINCHESTER written all over it? does the giant fcuking WINCHESTER billboard in front of his table give you any clues? he's shoots a winchester sx3. it's an evolution of the the original browning a5 action. best semi auto shotgun, bar none. i own an sx2. btw, i've owned 1100's, 11-87's and benelli's and i'm not going back.

People are haters

Yeah its only because blah blah, I bet he couldn't do that if blah blah, I'm doing nothing cool with myself in my life so I am gonna criticize someone else while I should be working and talk about how what they are doing is just whatevers. And of course you are all obviously experts thats why he has a video and your just commenting on it, Im sure your comments have nothing to do with an inner self hatred of yourselves that you fail to recognize...lol as they say and good day!!!

Total HAter

He was shooting those things from, like, 10 feet away! I don't know if any of you know anything about shot-guns, but it's not very hard to miss a target, especially from a distance like that! my gawd!

He saved my entire family from a midnight ninja attack. The man is a true hero by any definition. Yep, technically, by any definition.

I think of it this way... If he can blast a clay pigeon that accurately, five man-sized targets would be no problem - even at a reasonable range. He's showing off sport shooting, but in a clutch situation, I'd hate to be on the other end of his shotgun.

"I'd hate to be on the other end of his shotgun." Perched on the other end of his shot gun is the safest place to be.

Berreta Xtrema2

Yeah, my bad. I wasn't thinking. I'm no gun faggot anyway. However, this video is what I based my assumption on. He's got skills too.http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qo7vUdKTlhk

Words about stuff

He's using buckshot not bullets. They spread out and blanket a target area. It's why he doesn't have to fire 10 bullets to take out 10 targets.

posted by Words at Thursday, May-01-2008 16:53pm

Stop talking about guns if you know nothing about them.

All kinds of s*** flying around about "Oh, the shot spreads out! It's so easy!" It doesn't work that way. Yes, there is some spread, but at the ranges he's firing at, the spread isn't that big. And advanced shotgun or not, the man has skills.

Only one thing

It sure looked like when he was done he laid the gun on the table with the muzzle facing the audience.

posted by Jason at Thursday, May-01-2008 18:18pm

Hey man, nice shot

Git - r - done!

posted by funnyguy69 at Thursday, May-01-2008 21:45pm

To those who say he's using buckshot

Morons. Buckshot at 20 feet is not going to spread out like the movies. The guns have chokes. chokes keep the pattern of the buckshot tight. So tight that you still have to aim. Only very short (ie illegal) sawed off shotguns spread out wide at short ranges. Now, if you truly knew ANYTHING about guns you'd know all of what I just said. Put down your xbox 360 controller and read a book dumba$$es. One more thing - You all smell funny too.

posted by GunRunner at Thursday, May-01-2008 21:52pm

Sawed off is a handgun...

... and all you need do to be legal is to INFORM ATF that the previously serial numbered SHOTGUN (Long Gun) has since been modified. It will then be regulated as a HANDGUN. The only illegal thing about the procedure, is not filing the form. Regardless, this guy can shoot better than all of us.
