Ian acquired a piece of two-ply acrylic bulletproof glass. Naturally we shot it.

People commenting on youtube are inherently better at shooting than the people in the videos. It's a known fact.

@parkourperson28 You are wrong, placement of your fingers, grip tension, trigger finger placement, sight alignment, how fast you pull the trigger, how smooth you pull the trigger, developing a flinch, all can turn a 2" group at 25 yards, into not hitting paper at 10yd. Its really impossible to theorize about how difficult it is to shoot, unless you have.

@KSIFLYBOY misinformed? i didn't even entertain the idea that an air pistol is similar to a real handgun, and also i believe for the task in hand they would have to hit the glass, and they couldn't do that consistently. it doesn't take incredible accuracy. as for the combustion inside the weapon, as far as i know, and unless you can prove me wrong, the bullet leaves the barrel before it can be effected by any forces other than the initial gas expansion, less time between shots maybe.

@parkourperson28 Honestly, there is so much difference in between an air pistol and a real firearm, that I can't begin to explain how misinformed you are. Having the ignition of gunpowder introduces so many variables, technique is EVERYTHING. These gentlemen are doing a fine job of the task at hand. While they are not grouping best, they don't need to. What you have to remember, is the REQUIRED accuracy in the given task; They had no reason to get bullseye shooter accuracy.

@KSIFLYBOY yeah i didn't say it was anything like a video game, all I've shot is a lee Enfield rifle. but when your shooting a 3-5 inch by 8-12 inch piece of glass from no more than 20 feet, i feel confident i could make that shot. at roughly 20 feet i can hit a can with an m92fs air pistol with no rear iron sight. obviously its different with a real pistol, and once again, this is just how i perceive their situation, i have no experience with handguns so i could be wrong.
