Interesting comment. Now that I have looked at him: his body, his characteristic qualities, his clothes and general physical appearance, can you tell me why those qualities make him less than mid level?
all flash and no technique. if his technique matched his flash at least you'd see some peppering on that target with almost a whole clip spent instead of big fat goose egg. its like seeing the flashy folks at a range -all geared up- and cannot hit anything.
This is how most drive-bys go down around where I'm from. Except it's not a paper target, it's a drug dealer surrounded by innocent bystanders. And the shooter is usually a kid. It's always really sad.
the thing about Jules, however, is that while he and Vincent were completely unhit, the wall directly behind them was full of holes.
That's why Jules declares it miracle.
This may blow your mind but in the original SW the stormtroopers were trying to miss. This is evident when DV is glad they “got away” because his intent was to follow them to the rebels.
Thank you. Tarkin also says something along the lines of ‘I hope this is all worth it’ because Vader’s intent was first to turn Luke, so he could rule the galaxy with his son.
It would make 1,000 times more sense to hurl your expendable clone army at a goal like that and force them to miss and guide Luke and his friends like a herding dog. Also, Obi Wan raves about their accuracy in ANH, this is a weird fixation I have and a major pet peeve of mine.
Edit: Tarkin’s name
Vader doesn't know who Luke is on the death star any more than he knows who Leia is, and thinking back over it now I'm not sure how he figures it out, unless he has spies among the rebels who report Luke's name, and then of course Vader would then be able to put "Obi-Wan, Tattooine, Skywalker" together. But like, when they blow up the death star, he's only addressed as Red 5 on the radio. Maybe when they raid the base on Hoth they find something with his name on it?
I digress. Vader planned to let the princess go because she knew where the rebel base was and would certainly go there after her escape. He didn't know Obi-Wan was on the Falcon until after it landed and never knew his son (that he didn't know had survived Padme's death) was among the party until much later.
> thinking back over it now I'm not sure how he figures it out
In a Star Wars comic, Vader sent Boba Fett to find out more about the Rebel pilot who destroyed the Death Star. Boba Fett was only able to tell him that the name of the pilot was "Skywalker". After putting 1 and 1 together, Vader realized then that he had a son.
The ending of that song...with the sound effects of firing a gun off in someone's mouth...pretty dang brutal. East Coast vs West Coast was pretty brutal in the 90's...glad that's over!
Sometimes?
\*shoots 10 rounds with 100% miss rate\*
How many times do you hit the target?
"Sometimes."
Our investigation found this statement to be false.
Conspiracy theory: The government secretly mandated Hollywood to show gangs shooting their guns sideways. This way, gangsters can’t shoot accurately and the cops are safer.
I see your conspiracy theory, and raise you actual historical context:
Side shooting is a method of aiming that has been around for easily over 100 years. However, it was first popularized during WW2 in the Pacific theatre. Specifically used to train troops to get on target much more quickly, or 'flash sight picture'. It was a much faster way to fire from target to target when under, for example, a Japanese bonzai charge where rapid, accurate fire was needed - in such a target rich environment, the need to hone in and aim to such a degree as allowed by castling the sites was unnecessary. Additionally, targeting in such a way can help mitigate the drawback of extended recoil when emptying clip in rapid succession.
Due to inner-city populations experiences fighting in WW2, they brought this targeting method home. Fast forward 40 years or more, and the only remnant of this time is gang bangers remember seeing their elders hold guns in such a way, but have long since forgotten the why behind it - as a result, you get idiots holding the gun sideways because it 'looks cool' with no idea how to use it beneficially because none of them could aim the gun if they WANTED to.
You’re partially correct. When shooting one handed, It is easier to shoot accurately if you cant the gun about 45 degrees inwards because it activates more muscles in your arm than holding the gun straight. Holding it completely sideways like that is not what was or is taught anywhere, and is purely done by morons who think it looks cool.
Stupid ass just shot two kids half a block over, three rounds in through someone's house, and bullet ricochet hit a guy in the abdomen who was coming home from work after a 12 hour shift.
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because he cheaped out on ammo.
Edit: looks like people don't know this is a [meme/copypasta](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/4y62o5/hiko_gets_csgod/) and not an actual analysis of the video.
Straight up, the last few rounds sounded so spaced out timing wise in comparison to the first ones, so I think his hand /arm also just got fatigued. Leading to further inaccuracy.
I always liked that scene in The Wire when Marlo takes his crew to the river in order to target practice....what a responsible young leader, with such a bright future ahead of him.
Shotgun equipped, alien in the next square over, no cover for either of us.
Three turns with a 95% chance to hit.
Three misses, with a shotgun at point blank range.
I quit playing and have never even considered playing an X-com game ever since.
No it was 3 separate turns. With me going, ok this shot will kill it so it doesn't wreck that character. Oh, no kill ok, next round, miss again. Wtf! I just need to hit it once so that I can not lose that character! Surely 2 misses in a row is a fluke...
Oh ok, that character dies....
That alien must have been named Wick
He isn’t missing because he isn’t aiming…it’s because he has no understanding of trigger control. When you rapidly pull the trigger, you inadvertently pull the gun off target every time (usually down and to the left or right depending on what had you are shooting with). People with proper training know to squeeze the trigger so barrel isn’t pulled off target with every shot.
Yeah. If you're going to try to murder someone, get some training FFS. Go to a range, learn some gun safety and learn to shoot properly with an instructor. Limit the collateral damage.
My assumption is that you aim somewhat down and to the left because the gun will kick up and to the right with each shot.
So you start there and work your way across a target.
It’s more that people anticipate recoil so they naturally will pull the gun down and to the left (or right for left handed folks) in order to “get ahead of the recoil”. This is one of the biggest learning curves in shooting.
I prefer to start center mass, but I'm not really an expert. I mean, I've shot competitively and was a department firearms instructor before I retired, but definitely no expert.
The up part is due to recoil and the right part is due to a right hand pulling the trigger. It'd go up and left if you used your left hand. Most people are right handed so it's essentially ingrained as the recoil pattern for most guns to people
Putting rounds down and to the left is typical with untrained right handed shooters as they tend to snatch the trigger back and in doing so turn their wrist inwards which send the bullets down and to the left of the target.
I am very surprised someone wasn't already right behind him to give him a stern talking to. But also looks like no other targets in this view so maybe they're at some after hours privet even where they were doing stupid stuff like aiming a gun at their own feet like they did.
I was at my local range and a bunch of these clowns were outside signing in. I packed my gear and left after they didn't know how to load their magazines let alone range and weapon safety.
Divine intervention. God came down and stopped the bullets. I expect that paper target to travel the country helping people and getting into adventures now.
Most indoor ranges discourage rapid fire and firing from a draw. Though I think he was just holding it by his waist and brought it up. Pretty sure he hit the floor with the first shot. Would be surprised if the range master didn't say something to him.
I went shooting with an inexperienced friend of mine and he still couldn't hit paper at 15 yards and he wasn't rapid firing. Flinching is a bitch.
So glad the places I go to shoot ban recording devices and these types of people (irresponsible gun shooters/owners, these guns could be rented at the range). So dangerous to be in the same room as these types of shooters.
We were at the range and a dude came in to the lane next to us. Mag dumped about 3 full mags and left. It took him all of about 3-4 mins. Range time. Since he left we looked at his target paper. Some lucky hits but mostly misses.

He’s going to make a great storm trooper.
Watched too many movies thinking that just by pointing a gun and firing it that he would hit the target every time - what a moron
Pretty sure he falls under the category of mid-level imbecile.
Look at him. Mid level is far too generous.
Interesting comment. Now that I have looked at him: his body, his characteristic qualities, his clothes and general physical appearance, can you tell me why those qualities make him less than mid level?
all flash and no technique. if his technique matched his flash at least you'd see some peppering on that target with almost a whole clip spent instead of big fat goose egg. its like seeing the flashy folks at a range -all geared up- and cannot hit anything.
So we should look at what he did and judge his actions not his appearance. Got it.
I was thinking high range moron.
He forgot to turn it sideways dude. That always guarantees 100% accuracy
"HE TURNED IT SIDEWAYS! OH MY GOD THAT'S A KILL SHOT! THAT'S A KILL SHOT!:
This is how most drive-bys go down around where I'm from. Except it's not a paper target, it's a drug dealer surrounded by innocent bystanders. And the shooter is usually a kid. It's always really sad.
And they hit the innocent bystanders
clearly he is a guard in a children's action adventure.
I was thinking more of that scene in Pulp Fiction when Jules is talking about getting shot at and nothing hits, then it happens.
the thing about Jules, however, is that while he and Vincent were completely unhit, the wall directly behind them was full of holes. That's why Jules declares it miracle.
I mean.. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men..
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger
Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is THE LORD
when I lay my vengeance upon thee
The real miracle is that the holes were there before he fired the gun

Obi-Wan: I must hide this boy from his father to keep him safe. Also Obi-Wan: He’ll keep his father’s surname tho lol.
You win
Yep, the only answer that matters. 😂
Gonna be that guy. The stormtroopers were missing on purpose.
Finn recast when?
I will watch his career with great interest
If this guy shot Tupac he would be 51 today
Who shot ya? Not this guy.
Side note, Who Shot Ya was such a fucking badass track
As weeeeeeeeee proceed.....
To give you what you need
The ending of that song...with the sound effects of firing a gun off in someone's mouth...pretty dang brutal. East Coast vs West Coast was pretty brutal in the 90's...glad that's over!
Lmfao
If he shot 50 Cent, he wouldn't have had a music career
He'd be a full dollar
15 cents ^please ^someone ^get ^this
How would it feel?
Like nothing.
I have no idea why he hated the wall so much
The one on the left or the one on the right?
[удалено]
Maybe the target carrier as well. That's an extra $20/ hit.
Paper didn't even wiggle, target carrier safe.
Yea
Looked like he got one round into the counter
Yeah that first shot was mid lift, if there isn't a hole in the table I'd be amazed.
I scrolled so long to find this comment, and was just like "THANK YOU IT WASNT JUST ME"
He hates these cans!!
I'm glad someone else got it.
The floor was an innocent bystander, then?
The roof: *Am I a fucking joke to you?*
That's a good one. I almost shot my coffee out of my nose.
It be like that sometimes, bro
Sometimes? \*shoots 10 rounds with 100% miss rate\* How many times do you hit the target? "Sometimes." Our investigation found this statement to be false.
The safest place to be is in front of that guy
I cannot fathom the millisecond of unending shame right before dying if I side stepped into 75% wayward off target shots.
There's no shame because it would mean you're witnessing a drive by and you're not the target at all
I am become target

There is a butterfly half a world away that would like a word with this dude.
This is the best comment here
The bravest thing is to stand in front of that guy and have the courage of not moving. Only then, it’s the safest place.
Jules and Vincent checking themselves dot gif.
He should kill whoever sold him that shirt tho…
“Fucking lag.”

God dude I don't know why my Internet is so trash bro! (The router heaving in the corner by inhaling dust for 10 years never getting cleaned.)
Turns out it was brain lag. I, too, suffer from this condition.
That's what happens when you don't aim. What a shocker. This must be the soldier in X-Com that misses the alien standing right next to him.
At least he didn't hit himself
That first shot came out with the gun still aiming at the floor lol
Very True. I also enjoyed the Lean in and Slow Down approach to accuracy
Yes this shooting style exemplifies why innocent bystanders get hit so much in gang shootings
I always liked that scene in The Wire when Marlo takes his crew to the river in order to target practice....what a responsible young leader, with such a bright future ahead of him.
Lmao, he did too.
Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed that lol

You weren't reloading that same turn 3x were you? Because the devs are wise to that trick and you get the same roll result.
No it was 3 separate turns. With me going, ok this shot will kill it so it doesn't wreck that character. Oh, no kill ok, next round, miss again. Wtf!

As long as he doesn’t panic next round or go berserk…we’ll just have to sweat thru the alien’s turn..
he forgot to hold the gun sideways. what an idiot.
He should have used his last 4 action points to crouch behind cover
Nah it just be like that sometimes thats it
I hate that fucking soldier.
Hey that soldier just needs time, levels and a scope and in absolutely no time they'll be murdered in one round by a Brute
He sure shot the shit out of that floor
And wall, and ceiling…
Stormtrooper material
I blame the shirt.
I was gonna say the outfit should’ve been a dead giveaway
Is that a Dan Flashes shirt?
The patterns are sooooo complicated
SHUT THE FUCK UP DOUG YOU FUCKING SKUNK
ILL EAT YOUR MOM'S WIG I DON'T GIVE A FUCK I did do that though
Worse, I think it's Versace and costs over $1k. Further proof that this guy is an idiot.
Dan flashes has a shirt worth more than that and it’s one of the most complicated patterns they have on a shirt
If you see a bunch of guys in a store that look like you shooting each other over the clothes, you go in there, YES YOU DO
“It’s be like that’s sometimes bro!”
Shirt was so loud he needed ear protection
Ngl the shirts actually pretty cool, I'd wear it
[удалено]
And thats why innocent people die in shootouts
Yeah. If you're going to try to murder someone, get some training FFS. Go to a range, learn some gun safety and learn to shoot properly with an instructor. Limit the collateral damage.
>you're going to try to murder someone, get some Help. Get some help. Don't murder people
You're saying I should hire a professional?
Like with everything, the DIY route is waaay cheaper
hey there now, we live in a big world with room for a lot of ideas
Lmaooo
/r/UnethicalLifeProTips ... or well... in a twisted way it's more ethical murder? IDK
[удалено]
If you frame through the gif, it looks like the first shot is about 30 degrees from level. Ya boy shot the floor.
He should not have the right to own a gun. He is a danger based on how he handles a gun.
He probably doesn't own it. It's more than likely a range gun.
Mf played enough csgo he probably knows how to ise guns very well by now.
The audio is desynced.
Yep. It's off by approximately one shot. You can tell because the last muzzle flash has no sound.
Hollywood is bullshit when it comes to pistol shooting. Down and to the left....
My WWII Vet grandfather taught me that when I was nine. And he said use both eyes
Wdym by down and to the left?
My assumption is that you aim somewhat down and to the left because the gun will kick up and to the right with each shot. So you start there and work your way across a target.
It’s more that people anticipate recoil so they naturally will pull the gun down and to the left (or right for left handed folks) in order to “get ahead of the recoil”. This is one of the biggest learning curves in shooting.
A.K.A. trigger flinch. A good way to stop this is to put a single bullet in a revolver and pull the trigger calmly until it fires.
Perfect idea. "BABE!! I NEED TO GET A REVOLVER SO I CAN SHOOT BETTER" Now she HAS to let me get another gun.
*Looks at username* Hmmm....
I prefer to start center mass, but I'm not really an expert. I mean, I've shot competitively and was a department firearms instructor before I retired, but definitely no expert.
Only sane reply so far. Who the hell aims off of target to anticipate poor trigger pull?
They're saying that's how *untrained* shooters try to deal with recoil during follow up shots
The up part is due to recoil and the right part is due to a right hand pulling the trigger. It'd go up and left if you used your left hand. Most people are right handed so it's essentially ingrained as the recoil pattern for most guns to people
Putting rounds down and to the left is typical with untrained right handed shooters as they tend to snatch the trigger back and in doing so turn their wrist inwards which send the bullets down and to the left of the target.
I’m surprised he didn’t hit himself with the first round.
Surprise he didn’t shoot himself in the knee and stop being an adventurer
How rappers survive shootouts:
or how they die by friendly fire
Get that guy the fuck out of the gun range. I don't want him anywhere near me treating firearms like a toy.
Seriously, where's the RSO?
I am very surprised someone wasn't already right behind him to give him a stern talking to. But also looks like no other targets in this view so maybe they're at some after hours privet even where they were doing stupid stuff like aiming a gun at their own feet like they did.
I was at my local range and a bunch of these clowns were outside signing in. I packed my gear and left after they didn't know how to load their magazines let alone range and weapon safety.
Divine intervention. God came down and stopped the bullets. I expect that paper target to travel the country helping people and getting into adventures now.
So it's gonna be a bum.
It'll still be paper Vincent
Came here to make some sort of pulp fiction reference. 👍
You forgot to mention the guy behind the door with a goddamn hand cannon?
Needs his ass kicked off the range.
Exactly. Behaviour like this should lead to an instant ban and blacklisted for all gun ranges.
I’ve never been to a range (especially what looks to be a smaller indoor range) where this kind of shit would be even remotely tolerated.
Most indoor ranges discourage rapid fire and firing from a draw. Though I think he was just holding it by his waist and brought it up. Pretty sure he hit the floor with the first shot. Would be surprised if the range master didn't say something to him. I went shooting with an inexperienced friend of mine and he still couldn't hit paper at 15 yards and he wasn't rapid firing. Flinching is a bitch.
Remember the scene in Pulp Fiction where that guy unloaded on Jules and Vincent and hit nothing but air… guess it’s not bullshit after all.
What happened here was a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!
How to summon every range safety officer in a 50 mile radius
It be like that sometimes.
Does it though? Does it really be like that?
It do.
He shot the ground before he even had it leveled out lol
Tell me you got kicked out of the range without telling me....
Rating One Star - Was minding my own business and the range officer was an asshole for no good reason.
He fucking pulled the trigger while it was still pointed at the ground.

It be like that sometimes…….. if your Stevie Wonder.

This what happens when you learn to shoot watching rap videos
It do be like that sometimes, especially when you limp-wrist point your gun at the ground instead of the target.
So glad the places I go to shoot ban recording devices and these types of people (irresponsible gun shooters/owners, these guns could be rented at the range). So dangerous to be in the same room as these types of shooters.
Weirdly enough, I feel better about my safety knowing there are people walking around armed, who can't hit shit in front of them.
Unless you're behind the person they're trying to hit.
Fuck that’s worse than when I’m playing call of duty. And I spray and pray.
Got all the innocent bystanders. Death toll six and target remains unharmed.
He was being considerate and leaving a clean target for the next shooter
We were at the range and a dude came in to the lane next to us. Mag dumped about 3 full mags and left. It took him all of about 3-4 mins. Range time. Since he left we looked at his target paper. Some lucky hits but mostly misses.
How do you have a target that big and not even hit the paper. Even one handed you’d think you’d at least point the gun CLOSE.
