It's also a reminder of why I usually avoid comments on YouTube videos. People seem to think nitpicking at others' accomplishments is somehow an accomplishment in its own right.
There are people who think it is worth pointing out that the bullet did not make a direct hit on the balloon, and it was popped by jacket fragments from where it hit (slightly left and low of the balloon). Did they not consider that landing a 9mm bullet from a short barrel gun anywhere on that steel at 1,000 yards is a feat 95% of them could never accomplish?
More like 99%
People are jerks on the intarwebz. What that guy did was impressive - I doubt that I could even see the balloon at that distance ;')
Yup.
And I bet I would struggle with hitting that thing at 1/10th the distance with any friggin' pistol. People nitpicking this should be slapped silly!
PS-Fran's post is pretty good! The urge to get in their face and dare them to prove it is strong in me, but behind that asinine blather they spout is the self-knowledge that they know they are not as good as me or you, so their only recourse (so typical of progs!) is to lower every one else to make it appear we are all the same. We are not all the same, if we are fortunate we have skills and abilities and knowledge that is useful that others may not possess in great abundance and leveraging these strengths together for the betterment of both should be the goal, but the damned progs mess with the winning formula and muck everything up and create jealousies and resentments, punish success and reward sloth, stupidity and incompetence, they pit people against people and create division where no division was ever meant to exist!!!
Progs need to be put down like rabid dogs, it is the only way to eradicate the terminal virus.
