I don't know why he couldn't shoot like he does with any other gun. I saw the show on the History channel today, it was "Sharpshooters". Anyways, it isn't like he doesn't have to aim to hit the aspririn, as long as the other gun is sighted in the same I bet he could do the same stuff. The rest of the guys except the real fast pistol shooter weren't that impressive to me. The guy that shot the card in half was so close the camera focused on him and the card...couldn't have been very far away.Tom Knapp's behind the back stuff was crazy!
