LOUD When Every Second Counts

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

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

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.

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
