106ReplyTook the invention of the repeating rifle to win the west.
37ReplyWhich movie was it (maybe naked gun?) where it's a 5 minute hallway shootout and none of the cops could hit anything.

They would have won the drive by and the Pray and spray events. Or if you had an event where the targets were school kids
24ReplyOr Las Vegas crowds. It's pretty wild how the Vegas lobby has completely suppressed the memory of the worst mass shooting in US history.

To be fair, the utter ruins of our public education system we traded for capitalist tax cuts ensures Americans aren't known for our sharp anything.

Mongolians are mainly known for their horsemanship rather than their marksmanship. They are probably the best marksman on horseback that have ever lived, but as far as historically being known for their archery.....that's the Koreans, and they're still pretty dominant in the Olympics.

India with less medals than north korea
44ReplyOnly if “tech tutorials” were a thing in the Olympics. I swear the gold medal would never go somewhere else.

At least the Turks got one. The Koreans are preparing their S class rankers for when the gate opens or some shit.
6ReplyThe men's skeet shooting finals ended up in a shoot-off to determine gold and silver - both Americans.
Most US poular shooting sports (IDPA, 5-gun, etc) aren't represented in the Olympics, with the exception of skeet shooting.
The US has taken home a gold medal in skeet shooting for 5 Olympics in a row.
5ReplyI think US got medals in archery tho
