Top shot season 2

Just finished watching behind the bullet, The season 3 contestants just dont seem as interesting as the season 2 contestants but that is probably just because i dont know much about them. There also seems to be less military competitors too.

The weapons appear to be more diverse, a longbow, S&W .500, AK, and a Mauser Broomhandle.

Sorry for the double post but i cant help but think who would have won if their were no teams and there were no "secret pacts" and it was based on skill alone.

I hope a future season could have a round robin tournament and the top shot would actually be the best shooter instead of the one with the most friends.

Not that those will all be used, look at the guns in season 2 intro....

The runner up of season 1 shot himself in the leg when his serpa jammed and he was pressing too hard to get it out (downfall of the crappy serpa holster). Of course shooter error there as you should know not to do that. Weird though he put a bullet in his leg. Of course, the whole department he worked for banned serpas.

Do you have a link to where ever you saw this?

First heard it on a forum and linked to news sites, ill look.

Mr. Cerino apparently commented "At least i shot myself with a loaded gun, most people are shooting themselves with empty guns."

I don't think the SERPA is a crappy holster, but I think anything that goes into the trigger guard of a gun, especially with a gun that has no manual safety and a light trigger weight is a deadly combination. But hey, it's the evolution of tacticool.

Edit: the SERPA didn't discharge the gun like I thought, he did the textbook "press the button too hard and KABOOM" deal. The point still stands that mixing a holster design which requires the trigger finger with a gun design that has a free, light trigger with no safety devices, coupled with a lack of training by the shooter on the aforementioned holster design, is not a good combination for oneself and others around them.
