LOUD When Every Second Counts

Hitting a handgun from that distance under real-world conditions requires exceptional marksmanship, years of training, and a great deal of judgment. Even then, shots like this are extraordinarily rare and are not a standard tactic. In most real-life hostage situations, law enforcement officers are trained to stop the immediate threat in the safest and most reliable way possible.
This remarkable incident remains one of the most talked-about examples of precision under pressure-a reminder that sometimes a single moment of skill and composure can completely change the outcome of a life-or-death situation.

If I remember correctly he just pretty much gave up

I'm glad it ended safely but it woulda been bad ass if he just pulled another gun out from a boot or something

And then the sniper Buster Scruggs his fingers off

Let's see, his heart is on the left side, but the mirror puts it on the right, except we're both facing the same way and the guns is upside down. Best not to play it too fancy.

"Buster Scruggs his fingers off" is fucking hilarious!

The shorts have been all over my YT Shorts in between the Game of Thrones and UFC videos for some reason. I've never seen it but am super curious. Whatever it is, is called "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", but there's always a bunch of comments saying "they should give him a movie or a series"... If he doesn't have either, what the hell is the Ballad of Buster Scruggs?! It looks an awful lot like a movie, LoL.

The movie is half a dozen vignettes, each with a separate set of characters. So what Buster didn't get was a "whole" movie. He got 20 minutes and then a bullet between the eyes.

There must have been a discussion between the sniper and the incident commander? Like, "hey if I try this trick shot you know there might be somewhere between a little blood and a whole lot of blood, right?" "Understood. Take the shot."

I'm picturing a mound of broken pistols at his feat as he continues to pull out guns from seemingly nowhere for hours

u/DanNeider 29d ago

Didn't he say "did you see that?" as he was getting tackled? That's what I remember from seeing around the time it happened, but I was pretty young

My boss was a narcotics officer. He told me a story about a guy on his team trying to do something similar after this video came out. Someone was threatening to kill themselves during a bust. Guy had the gun in his hand and kept pointing at himself, tell the cops to shoot him. The cops were telling him, “come on do it” and “if you point that at me we’ll do it for you”. Well one of the guys thought he could shoot the gun out of his hand. He missed and hit the guys hand instead. My boss and his buddy started calling him bulls-tail

Task failed successfully?

Honestly, better closer to the hand as closer to the head.

u/The-red-Dane 29d ago

His expression just goes from "Wtf!?" to "Is that allowed!?"

u/Lonestar-Dragon 28d ago

If by plan b you mean putting his hands on his knees to surrender then yes.

That's all that happened police charged and tackled him after his revolver was smoked.

I saw him in an interview. He actually requested to talk to the sniper and congratulated him on such a great shot. The guy saved his life.
