Top Shot Season 4 - Megathread

[vellnueve]

I think Colby's teeth got whiter. Not sure how that's possible.

I really don't mind him though.

 

[jasons]

lol my wife said the same thing. Colby is the only thing I don't like about that show.

There is so much to not like about this show before that dude even opens his mouth.

 

[william_munny]

I liked it. Not a bad start to the season.

Glad to see beiber is gone after the "pacemaker" comment.

Little John is a doosh, I wish he got kicked.

That first elimination had nothing to do with shooter skill. From what I saw it was essentially chance.

agh, screw M1, imagine shooting full auto MG34! This show has a long way to go to reach Awesome.

Agreed! I'd love to see some more non-Allied Forces weapons on the show. Maybe like the Broomhandle they show on William Bethard's profile page: http://www.history.com/shows/top-shot/bios/william-bethards

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that myself. Did they elimintate two people so fast at the beginning of last season? Sheesh.

I enjoyed the first ep., it's great gun porn.

That's kind of what I thought, unless they were told things off camera that we didn't hear. How was the rifle sighted in? Point of aim at 200? Nobody asked each other "where did you aim?".

I've always said that you don't need to be a good shot with a rifle for this show; in all 3 seasons plus this week, every rifle shot has been easy or a matter of chance. You do need to be good with a handgun, though.




AND, is there a documented case of an American WWII soldier actually firing a rifle from a moving motorcycle side-car?

Given the dreck on the history channel these days, the fact that used an actual historic rifle is already exceeding expectations.

This. "Top" Shot my ass.

I've heard that they edit that down quite a bit. That each contestant got to zero the rifle at the distance, then shoot some practice groups, then fire for record. So anyone that ganked a shot on the show, did just that, choked it.

Otherwise you are absolutely correct, it would be a total crap shoot.

Darn, my DVR didn't record the first episode.

Did anyone watch "The Guns of Top Shot" on H2 last night?

I had to laugh when Colby was shooting the M1 Carbine and had the barrel resting on the sandbags, couldn't figure out why everything was way high.

 

[Business]

A quick google search proved to be well worth the time

yea...

Missed it to play basketball, but it should be on the DVR. Could you school me on why resting the barrel on the sandbags would result in a high shot? (hoping to zero in my M1C tomorrow for the first time...)

ETA: I have done the same thing with both my Broomhandle and my M1 Carbine... good way to wreck a target holder!

 

[william_munny]

Hubba hubba.

 

[s4mt3k]

Not gonna lie; looking forward to this tonight;

Teams grapple with an explosive obstacle course and endure trench warfare conditions while firing the legendary Browning Automatic Rifle. And in a Top Shot first, two competitors duke it out in a fierce battle with a multi-shot grenade launcher.

This is what I would really look forward to...

two competitors duke it out in a fierce battle, firing multi-shot grenade launchers at each other.

if we could be so lucky hehe

 

[LORD of WAR]

hope no one gets too attached to michelle...

 

[Coyote Hunter]

Holy sh@t. Where can I shoot one of those!!!!

 

[FireMedic102]

I see Littlejohn as being the douche of this series. Too bad they didn't eliminate him.

 

[jasons]

Wow, marker rounds. Yippee. I guess they're not "top" enough for HE.

HE would add like 4 times the regulatory burden. There's a reason that even with big time NFA collectors they don't have a lot of Exp-DDs. Too much of a pain in the ass.

Shut your spoiler hole, douchetard.
