wlktheduk Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I predict that the Hotchkiss gun will make MAJOR POWER FACTOR!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_J Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I predict that the Hotchkiss gun will make MAJOR POWER FACTOR!!!!! Never having put one on a chronograph myself... but 14,000 grains X 1,700 fps /1,000 = 23,800 power factor Ummm think thats major enough for an entire match in one shot....

Fenrir Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well it was nice to see Red Team beat the Blue Team! But sadly I am disappointed that Jake was not voted into the Elimination Challenge. Really felt that his performance was the worse at that the team challenge out of the Blue Team. Also sad to see Jarret go as I liked his personality and felt he was a better shot than Jake. I thought Dustin was going to vote for Jake based on his comments in the side interviews but it seems like he changed his mind last minute. Looking forward to the next show though with Chris Reed, and Iain Harrison coming back. If I had to pick who was going to be my Team Captain I would go for Iain. Also GREAT PERFORMANCE CLIFF in the Team Challenge. Honestly watching you do the practice session had me worried when you were picked for the final stage of the team challenge. But you pulled through and really beat Dustin who based on the practice session was Blue Team's better rock thrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hello: I think Cliff used to play a drinking game like that when he was a younger man knocking over beer cans I played the same game last weekend It goes to show you hand and eye coordination works even with rocks.

blind bat Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Am I the only one getting really tired of the unsportsmanlike conduct? Thank goodness for Jarret and Gary. And to Cliff: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 LOL, If I saw a round just come out from the back of the cannon, I wouldn't be looking at it with AWWH *hits the deck* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydiver Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Is Top Shot losing sponsors/advertisers? Instead of the normal 4 minute to 4.5 minute commercial breaks, this episode was running around 3 to 4 minute ads. (Gotta love the Tivo 30 second skips.) Not that I'm complaining about seeing more shooting and less ads, but I would like to see the show continue to be a successful vehicle for History Channel so that we keep seeing more of the show in the future. BTW: Good going Cliff and Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midvalleyshooter Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Cliff "Rock Chucker" Walsh came through in the final station, nicely done! Mike got the job done also with the big gun. I agree that Jake was due to be called up for elimination. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

want2race Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I after Jake messed up his part of the challenge he was the most quite I seen him yet in this show lol. I noticed the same thing. Jake just sat there with his mouth shut while the others dropped themselves in the bucket. I can look past the "red-head step childs" comments because I know they are in retaliation to Jakes comments. He's the only one that puts Jake in his place.

Graham Smith Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I can understand the need for variation and a desire to push people to perform in unusual challenges, but the show is called "Top Shot", not "Top Thrower" or "Top Chucker". Can sword fights be far behind? As far as cannons and Gatling guns, that's more about mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm. All traits of a good shot but not what would be my first choice for an elimination challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Complete garbage episode. If it were any worse it would be an episode of Sons of Guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Arrgh. The best analogy I can think of is that this episode was akin to collecting a group of NFL, MLB, and NBA players together to compete in a badminton tournament. I'd rather see them do what they're good at. That said, I might volunteer for elimination for the chance to shoot a mountain gun or gatling gun, especially after spending three days throwing rocks and hatchets!
