Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Looking thru some pics a few minutes ago and found this pic of Fireball. Couldn't resist. Just when we thought Lassiter was soooo fast this popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I can do that! Of course that's the way the shells go when I try to load it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Fireball is fast but not enough to have 4 empties in the air with a reload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Back two hulls are really fast - in Photoshop! Wrong ejection direction plus exact same shell tilt and rotation around it's axis and same amount of powder burn on it's mouth. Nice work, though, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The rear 2 are in better focus as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Fireball IS fast. But in this pic, where did he get all those shells..... his belt still looks full. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Maybe he's shooting Wild Bunch and started with 6 in the gun. But I think he just had someone toss the empties into the picture while he stood there looking all serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hells Comin Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I have a picture that shows me having 9 rifle case in the air. I also have a picture of me Impersonating Elvis Presley live in Las Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I think the front two hulls are the same as well. The back two are definitely the same hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I agree with CBB. Looks like the pic started with 2 shells in the air and then they got to drinkin, and they was left alone for a while and before ya know it, there was 4. nobody knows how it happened.

Cypress Sun Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Big deal, someone throws a bunch of shells at Fireball and someone else takes a picture of it and all of a sudden....he's fast. Well pooh. Just messin' with ya there Sassquach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Next time, make sure the light source onto the "pasted" hulls is not straight on, so you have a shadow on the left side of the hull. At least the two hulls in front of the gun show a good shadow which matches the sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It could be a real pic. He could shoot 2 at targets to his left side and the hulls get on hat. Then when he pivoted and jerked his head & shotgun to the right for 2 more shots, the first couple empties would fly off his hat as shown in the pic, while he shoots 2 more shells. Heck, just because others can't do it doesn't mean it isn't possible. P.S. - if you look at the edge of the picture, in front of the muzzle about 4 inches lower, you'll see a glimpse of a 5th shell... Now that IS fast! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 The pic is probably at least 12-15 years old. I just ran across it and thought it still pretty cool. Although I have known FB for years, I did not take pic and never thought it "100%". But, he is fast with 87 and most any other CAS firearm.

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hey, I saw Kevin Costner fire 11 times without a reload in an "Open Range" gun fight. And John Wayne fire 20 rounds out of a 1892 Winchester short barrel rifle just days after the Civil War ended. I've also seen double action .357 magnum revolvers with a "silencer" not make any noise in many Hollywood movies. And I've also seen Elvis, Jimmy Hoffa, Bobby Kennedy, JFK and MLK playing poker in Heaven. I also drink a lot of Southern Comfort everyday. And Joe Biteme won the election fairly.

Chert Rock Chuck Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just because we mere mortals are not likely to pull off such a feat, is it so certainly impossible? I shoot with him often. He IS fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball #7709 Life Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Great shot!LOL That was Photoshopped by one of my shooting buddies!(a long time ago) While it would be cool to see more than 2 in the air at one time out of an 87, it would extremely unlikely, I would go so far as to say impossible.(unless you stoked the mag) The hulls are just too heavy. I keep trying tho.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
