Jerry is a freaking beast

Despite likely a couple million rounds down range, the thing about Jerry is that he still seams to have so much fun shooting.

It's hard to believe how good he is. And, it's across all platforms including all long guns. Pick your poison and he will beat you at it!

I bet it is even more fun if you are that good!

What a job!
 
I wonder why the 2 bullets didn't come out at the same time if they were using one common hammer??? Did anyone else notice one bullet being in front of the other??

He is a freak. Those targets are less than 4MOA wide. Offhand, 3 different targets in 4.37 from the table. He is a freak.

If he is at all consistent in that, he could probably shoot appleseed rifleman all offhand in under 60 sec. He is a freak.
 
I imagine tolerance stacking has something to do with it. One hammer might be different slightly, etc.
Ammo slightly different. One primer may be a hair deeper, for example.

I'd be more surprised if they came out at the same time. We're talking milliseconds here.

In the shots of the gun they seem to only have one hammer for both barrels and one trigger to release said hammer. He said at the beginning what ammo he was using so I would assume consistence throughout from the ammo standpoint. Baffles me...

Right. Its a matter of a few fps difference.

Two triggers on each gun.

ETA: after watching again, it appears you only use one of the two triggers? Depending on right/left hand? But...at about the 0:50 mark he says the trigger works both hammers.

(Or it could be the ammo as mentioned)
 
The hammers are one piece together.
 
I love watching that man shoot! He is a beast! I have been watching him sense I was younger. I hope to one day meet him. His speed, accuracy, and shear skill is one of a kind IMO.

I recalled him saying that the triggers AND hammers were tied together AND that he was shooting the same ammo. That's why I can't reason with the bullets being behind each other... I even took camera angle into account..... Strange..

Well, just the standard deviation in ammo would allow for that. Then, consider primer SD, then consider that a firing pin might be a thousanths diff, etc. etc.

I would think it would next to impossible to get them coming out perfectly together.
 
Variations in primer ignition, powder ignition, charges of both, one firing pin is a hair shorter than the other, variation in brass case length or primer seating depth, bullet outside diameter, barrel inside diameter and cleanness etc...

I suspect that while they are nicely made, they aren't as tightly fitted as possible either, to improve reliability of what is way outside the 1911 design parameters. So there is a little variation between them due to mechanical tolerances.

At a rough 1000 fps that's one millisecond per foot. An inch difference would be 80 microseconds. It's a miracle they are that close.
