There are 23 targets on the course. He should have reloaded at least ONCE. So

There are a total of 24 targets and one of them you have to melee attack meaning that to get a perfect accuracy score you have to fire a grand total of 23 shots and not miss. In effect the ex SAS guy fired 1/3rd the ammo for the same end results.

He also somehow fired a 23rd shot without reloading. Or the show didnt show us of the SAS guy reloading. The GSG5 mag has only 22 rounds in it

He had to have reloaded, they just edited it out. Anyhow, nice try Briton, but Excalibur is right. I'm not nearly as infuriated as he but I agree the execution for this was all wrong and not all that fair. At least get an actual MP5, Top Gear did it and they were doing a Biathalon, not a combat shooting exercise.

With a single round in the chamber that bumps up the round count to 23 and just enough rounds to service every target once as there is a single melee target. I've chatted with a former SAS member and his responce was that it wasn't bad shooting. As I've seen the man shoot I'll take his word on it.

If you watch the vid again, he didn't chamber a round already into the GSG5. He loaded his only mag and rack the charging handle. He had 22 rounds. There are 23 targets to shoot.
