Back in the old days the Capitol Police had a pistol range (since changed into a auto repair/misc. place) in the G-1 level of the Rayburn Garage, and the guy in charge of it was Capt. Samuels. John and I were working on the sewer ejector (the G-1 level is below the sewage line) and John bet me a dollar that Capt. Samuels could shoot a 3×5 index card in half – horizontally – at 25 yds.!
I was about 20 at the time and said “yeah, I’ll take your money – that’s movie shit.”
Capt. Sam taped the card onto the target hanger, sent it down range, squatted into what I guess is a crouch position, fired his service revolver and the card’s two pieces drifted to the floor. I was stunned. Capt. Sam had kind of a Fred Mertz look about him – and was a really, genuinely nice guy.
I paid my dollar (I was only making $2.11/hr at the time) shaking my head.

SCARY! I just pooped my jammies! EVIL EVIL GUN THINGIES! MOMMY!
I’m triggered.
Was that an illegal assault rifle or an automatic rifle with an illegal bump stock and a magazine? The horror. There a outta be a law against ads like that.
Where can I get a center fire rifle with no recoil?
What’s going on in the background at 0:43??
@Nitchy A – Interesting catch – Looks to me like somebody raising a rifle and aiming downward from a window in an elevated location, perhaps a hotel window.
Nice! Haha!

Wish I was that bad.
Love it
Why can’t we have commercials like that?
