Fastest gun in the West. And East. And South. And North...

Wow! This defies the imagination.

And the laws of physics...

I thought he was saying that. I re-watched it and realized we saw the flash of the gun and the gun was holstered before the flash ended, and well before we heard the bang.

That was amazing!

I loved his claim that no one in the wild wild west had a gunfight like in the movies. If it's in the movies, then it had to have happened, right?

You're answer depends on how the rest of my life goes...

It would be very cool to see the Time Warp guys film him like they did Mike Mangini on drums: http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/time...d-drummer.html

I have seen this fella in person. Truly amazing. Two dead balloons really sounded as one shot. I never saw him miss. He also had a collection of guns used in Hollywood films and he makes to sell single or double action .45s that are similar to the one shown.

Fast draw is amazing, and that guy is really really amazing.

Most fast draw competitors use rubber or wax bullets when competing, so as to minimize the risk of injury. In fact, I am pretty sure there are exactly 0 fast draw competitions in the US that allow live ammo. Still, a wax bullet at 10 feet will leave a mark for sure.

What freaks me - even more than the speed of that guy - is at 3:00... look where the camera man is. WTF?

That's just insane.

Remove the disconnector pin, and it *IS* a machne gun. One trigger squeeze, and all 8 come out very fast.
