I love how "I've never shot any of these weapons before" yet he shoots everyone with perfect accuracy...

You don't mean to imply that some of those vehicles may have been shot before being launched or that {gasp} special effects were used. {gasp}

Exactly what I was thinking! I believe that's Mr. Anthony Bourdain. A cool job he has no doubt. A weapons expert he is NOT! I started to doubt it from the get-go. Shooting from the hip, even with a SPAS-12 you're not gonna single out front window from rear. Then the machine gun (M-60 I believe) Shooting from a tripod, using NO sighting system. He riddles the car with holes, and explosions!
But the one that got me is his first shot with the anti-tank round. Watch closely the "Black Cloud" that zooms towards the car. The car launches, and PRESTO, the black cloud punches through the car and disappears for no apparent reason! Then in the subsuqent smaller frames there is undoubtedly a white fireball that sails toward the car.

Tricky editing, and some good photoshop skills are hard at work on this one!

Good vid nonetheless!

Thats not Anthony. I cant remember his name but that was an excerpt from a british car show called Top Gear. It is a European version of Car and Driver but WAY better. They are not afraid to tell you EXACTLY what they thingk of the cars, good or bad. Do a search on here for "the little diesel that could". it was a thread from abought a year ago where he destroyed a old diesel toyota pickup, or tried to. The show used to be on Speed TV but they canceled it for some reason. Was a funny show.

Here is the web site for the show. I havent been there for a year or so but last time I looked around there where tons of awsom videos.

JeremyClarkson, his friend "hammond" I believe, was just in a rocket car crash.
5th gear (another show) was Tiff Neddle, IIRC.

If you look again at the shotgun pull- there are a different number of shots in each of the three replays of the shotgun pull. Two then five then four so it looks like some bs, but it does look like fun. Can't top the way Ed put it
