    Something isn't right in that video. The balloons are between the cameraman and the shooter. Really? :confused:

    From what I have heard, he does not use "Lead" bullets, but either wax or paper. Soooo basically he does not have to aim, because the pieces act like a shot shell.

    If that is true Shadow it explains a lot of the incredible shooting stunts I've seen on those History Channel shows on "marksmen". :) T

    From Bob Munden's Wikipedia entry:

    Furthermore, the use of blanks creates the illusion of accuracy while fast drawing, when in fact just aiming a gun loaded with a blank cartridge in the general direction of a balloon (one of Munden's choice targets) at close range will destroy the target where a live round would likely miss. Firing blanks also means a very low recoil which in turn provides for a rapid succession of rounds to be fired, yet in real life applications would be pointless.
