I remember seeing him on TV when I was quite young.

Watch at 3:45.

i still think there is a trick going on, but heck if i can find it.

Curious as too what type of ammo he is shooting, considering it appears that the camera man is in the round-a-bout path of his shooting during the balloon piece.

He 'modded' his guns so they would work perfectly.

Why must it be bull? This man clearly has practiced drawing and shooting thousands upon thousands of times.It would be like any other skill that a person can excel at.

For example in professional sport you have your average players and then you have players that are truly dominate.

@FloppyRat he clearly sates that he is using blanks he is using the sabots to pop the balloons the camera is a safe distance away for blanks.In another video he said he used 240 grain rounds .45 long colt in his Colt SSA in that video he the camera was off to the side.

It is bull then.
I also doubt mechanicly revolver could shoot so fast...even if he could press the long trigger so fast.

With pistol some of you may or may not know it would be impossible.

That's my main concern too, I don't think you can fire a revolver that fast. If two shots sound like one than he must fire faster than a MG 3 which fires between 1100 and 1300 rounds a minute (you can still hear single shots when it's fired). Now think what a theoretic rate of fire his revolver must have. Considering that's a single action revolver I simply don't believe it until I've seen a PROPER slow motion of it. The video never does that and always has a cut before the weapon is reloaded so we can't see that there are actually two discharged rounds in the gun.

Maybe the guy was that fast, all I say is that it looks strange to me.

It is most definitely not bull.

What you may not know is the technique called "fanning". You pull the trigger, which does nothing, and you fire the gun by cocking it with the ball of the hand. It will fire as fast as you can slap the hammer with your hand. Most people can't hit anything that way, but some can.

I would like to say the object is to be fast, and not necessarily accurate, but he was that too, to a point of amazement.


And especially...

Thanks, I didn't catch that the first go around. Need my hearing checked.
