This is the type of character you see in an anime and you scoff as unrealistic. I stand corrected
Heh. You made me use ten percent of my power, pretty good.
Someone starts getting close to his score, “interesting! I haven’t had a match like this in a long time,” and he switches gun hands.
Japan experiences a high number of earthquakes because of all the athletes removing their extremely weighted training equipment when facing tough competition and needing to get serious. Undo the bindings and casually allow it to drop to the ground and the only reason Tokyo is still standing is because they designed their buildings to account for this.
And then a character known for watching bullets travel from the gun to the target is shocked to realize he can’t follow the movement of the gun anymore.
Japanese athletes: 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10km run every day.
That doesn’t sound absurd for an athlete.
Wouldn’t such a regiment have a high risk of all your hair falling out?
Shameless YuYu Hakusho reference (I hope)
Not that impressed, but still quite cool.
If somebody did the same in competitive rifle shooting I’d be astonished…and no, I don’t mean you need to keep one hand in the pocket.
wins silver at Olymics with a gear disadvantage “not that impressive” 🤡
So by your logic silver is something not often won by anyone in Olympics?
How many medals do you have?
yes
literally only one person can get silver in each category every 4 years? per 8 billion people out there
…but the comment was about quality and quantity of the disadvantage, not about winning silver in Olympics.
No hearing protection either…
Small caliber air guns, so no dangerous decibels, but most shooters do wear ear protection to block out distractions.
I saw another picture of him in that event from the side and he was wearing ear plugs.
He has kitty!
My experience from visiting Turkey is that they love cats. People even leave food and water out for the strays.
Well feed.cats hunt for fun. Hungry kitty hunts generally only enough to eat.
He looks like he commented to someone doing this sport professionally that it look easy and now, with a bit of disdain and irritation, he had to show them what he meant by that
I heard the US lost. They should have sent cops. Then just paint a black man as the target 🎯. 19 shots hit, and only needed one for gold.
Unless they arrive a little late save, upon hearing the sound of gunfire coming from within the stadium, barricade themselves outside and wait for the shooters to run out of bullets or targets.
They only do that if it’s kids.
19 hits but 200 bullets fired.
and some acorns
Plastic cups. But that’s for russian cops.
They can’t, there are acorns in France
Just got to drag US politics into it, don’t you?
Both eyes open can be better for your aim if you can resolve both images of the sights and place the target exactly between the images. Takes practice but seems to have a higher skill ceiling

That’s why these exist.
Darn it. Can you not hotlink images in Lemmy?
Next time you can just upload the image and it will embed it in your comment.
FWIW your link worked just fine. Also disallowing hotlinking is the decision of the web server hosting the image, not Lemmy.
So he’s just silently telling everyone “skill issue”? 😄
Should have sent this one for Trump
Don’t worry, with sniper rifle he can hit all the way from Paris
Even without a gun, that is an expression that says, “you will really regret it if you ever try to fuck with me.”
Silver?
Pathetic.
First loser…
if yer not first yer last 🤪
Being ruled by Turks for 400 years kinda makes sense now
So with the addition of some better equipment, like an eye shield, maybe he could have taken home the gold? Is there a GoFundMe?
I’m sure he had access to equipment.
On the one hand, I was just making a joke. You’re probably right.
On the other hand, there are Olympians working part time jobs to pay for their training and equipment. Not every country sponsors their athletes, and this shit ain’t cheap. Few things highlight global economic disparity like the Olympics.
If the caption is right this guy is Turkish military. They will absolutely give him all the range time and equipment he asks for.
I mean, they’re not fooling anyone. That guy is obviously Jeremy Renner with dyed hair.
Even Texans fear him
“Have you seen this boy” insurance salesman edition
We should make some “cash-lympics” where some random people from every nation within the desired age are invited for free to just compete, with no training whatsoever. It would certainly be as fun/exciting as watching this dude
People would straight up die
This dude is a professional sport-shooter and have been for decades.
I think MXC essentially provides that experience.
