American shooting is a lot more flash than precision.

Legitimately there's a category of shooting sports that's about the most efficient use of WWI trenchgun style slam firing, which is basically abusing the reload speed on that class of shotgun to convert it into a semi-auto.

We literally made a sport out of what the enemy tried to get classed as a war crime as an act of spite and you're wondering why we not so good at traditional marksmanship? It's a level of decorum that America was basically founded as a fuck you against.

For those who aren't sure what slamfiring a shotgun is

That's hilarious cause I did this with my pump action paintball gun. Didn't know there was a term for it.

Is that not how we're supposed to fire that?

I kept chopping paint in mine so I just switched to a semi-auto. God I havent played in forever. Except I need like defoggers for my mask, since I need glasses

I mean, the Olympic version of traditional marksmanship is using a lightweight pellet gun that can't be holstered with a $5,000 customized hand grip and little eyeglass oculars.

You make the competition with a glock 22 and allow 5 seconds to empty the clip and it's a different competition.
