Even as a kid, I never understood what was supposed to be happening when the good guy shot the gun out of the bad guys hands.... is he hitting the gun? seems like that would at a minimum shatter the hand that was holding it, and might ignite the other ammo? maybe the bottom of the handle so that it flies away? That seems to defy physics. Maybe JUST grazing the hand so they lose their grip but it doesn't actually damage the hand? that seems implausible, and that it would at least sometimes continue on to the body. It just doesn't make sense! This is the closest thing in real life that I could find. If I remember correctly the sniper said something like: "In western movies they make it look so easy, it was actually a very difficult shot". |

wow.. that's quite a shot! it's a bit different than when the bad guy is actually trying to shoot back, but still amazing accuracy.. he DID actually hit the gun without doing much harm to the person holding it!

Keep in mind that it's pretty much the only recorded case in history that I could find. And every comment I could find says it was an incredibly difficult shoot. Many things could go wrong and the sniper looked for the right moment of hand position to avoid hurting the target. But in the western comic examples I've seen here, it's pretty much business as usual for the hero, who manages to disarm like this 5/6 moving targets where the only consequence for the villains is after they have a sore hand 😎 |
