Who are these people?
The dude is an ex officer and a former world record holder, a 4 time world champion in shooting, has been top 3 in 27 european and world championship competitions, and has been competing for over 2 decades now. He won silver at the last Olympics
The woman recently won Gold at the Olympics.
The joke in the original meme is that she needed all that equipment and perfect form to beat a guy who literally walked on with a pack of ciggies and a tshirt and shot with both eyes open. It is very likely he is a much better shot than her in any real world scenario given he is also former special military. He probably wasn’t trying that hard at all.
Much like the guy, Torvalds invented Linux and Git may be one of the most influential minds in software in our lifetimes and he doesn’t have a desk full of blinking lights and $15000 desk setups. He doesn’t need a bunch of try hard poser shit to be great.
I highly doubt that's true.
His shooting style is just more traditional while hers is more contemporary.
Both are amazing shooters and among the best in the world.
DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN!
My favorite part of this is how he subconsciously wiped the fingerprints off his gun when he was done
That's be amazing if he also took it apart while walking away and dropped the pieces in different trash cans
Shooting with both eyes open is actually easier, your whole face is relaxed, and relaxation is key to accurate shooting. At least that's what I was taught in the military
Thank you for the explanation! I never really watched the Olympics enough to see them firing guns. I would think all that high tech equipment counts as performance enhancement stuff which goes against the spirit of peak human based skill but maybe sports people who actually watch and run the Olympics think differently about external augmentations in some cases.
Its really funny with the context of some dude just chilling and vibing while casually firing off world record level shots
He is the odd one out. Most have special gear.
