One man army on discovery

    Anyone watch One Man Army on discovery friday night ?

    I thought it was a good idea for a show , was a bit unfair to the seal guy in the pistol shooting as just random shooting at that target was going to be rewarded.

    Interesting how the ex soliders all shot differently too.

    And how there was no "exit" interview with the young marine !

    Yep i like it.

    However i find it odd that the Navy Seal was beaten in a shooting competition. As the other guys said he'd probably used thousands of rounds doing very precise double tap shooting and he looses to a Joe Soap??
    Seems a bit fishy...

    I wonder how old he was ? If he was in seals in 82 , I think their average age so he could be 50 maybe ?

    yep he could well be but i would assume most seals would keep their shooting skills relatively sharp and still with all that experience it should have still seen off the mma guy

    oh yeah I agree completely.
    I think it would have been great to see him go on and see how he did with the water test at the end.

    what did you think of the early shooting ?
    I think the seal experience showed in his accuracy there.
    kinda ironically it slowed him down in the grenade shooting as he lay down to reload which cost him a few seconds.

    Agreed, i've nevr fired a gun but I would have though these elite guys would have been better.

    Just watched the second episodeand the non military guy wins:)
    The US marshal losing in the first round didnt surprise me, brains are just as important as braun.
