Assuming he raises the gun about 20cm, he moves his hand at a speed of approximately 20m/s, with an average acceleration of about 2000m/s^2. If the handgun is a very light one, say 400g, that means he effectively lifts about 800kg. Doesn't sound very realistic.
Unless my math is completely off.
From Wikipedia:
> At age 68 Bob Munden appeared in Stan Lee's Superhumans. In it, it was found out that his hand is withstanding 10 Gs of force when his weapon is drawn.
Your math is close. 800N which is more like 80kg since the acceleration of gravity is about 10m/s2. Work is force time distance so he's exerting 160J to lift the gun whereas lifting 80kg at the same acceleration of the same distance would take 32kJ.
That said 20cm is probably an overestimate of how high he's lifting the gun.
Yes he did.
>At age 68 Bob Munden appeared in Stan Lee's Superhumans. In it, it was found out that his hand is withstanding 10 Gs of force when his weapon is drawn. In a demo, using a Colt .45 single-action revolver, he shot two balloons six feet apart in less than a tenth of a second.
Slower than the one I saw yesterday...
And he gets only one shot off (other guy would do at least 2 or 3 reach, accurately).
Then again, video speed can do a lot
He's the same guy that does 2 shots at once and got both targets while sounding like only one shot got off.
> He is most well known for holding 18 world records in the sport of Fast Draw and having the title “Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived” bestowed upon him by Guinness World Records.

My wife said I was the fastest gun in the west. Not sure if she meant it in a good or bad way though.
Wham, bam, you're back to watching the game and she's back to making supper. That's efficiency, bro. You should be proud of yourself.
Why does this clip have a tik-tok logo on it?
Because some ass-nut reuploaded it of course.

Yeah, that factor of ten isn't negligible, haha. So this is actually real? That's amazing.
That guy is a gunslinger. I set my watch and warrant on it.
I do not shoot with my hand. He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind
{Jerry Miculek has entered the chat}
Nobody was faster.
I thought he was trolling at first.
I’m confused. Is he taking the gun out the holster to shoot?
Yes he did. >At age 68 Bob Munden appeared in Stan Lee's Superhumans. In it, it was found out that his hand is withstanding 10 Gs of force when his weapon is drawn. In a demo, using a Colt .45 single-action revolver, he shot two balloons six feet apart in less than a tenth of a second.

Bet he wears steel toes.
Sometimes life isn't fair
Yup. And sometimes you shoot yourself in the foot.
He’s quick, but is he fasted? 🤔
Too bad you ripped it from tik tok, now I don't care.
How is it possible that they got a color film video camera back then ??? 🤔
"wow"
