Top Shot: Behold, His Englishness!

[TiminMishawaka]

BTW - there has to be respect to Ian for his service in the SAS and his skills as a shooter. That doesn't automatically transfer to ever limey though .

So the British won the American Revolution and the War of 1812 too?

Wasn't it General Patton who said his Third army could "drive the British back into the sea for another Dunkirk"? Nothing like a little Patton for some good perspective.

Shhhh. Ixnay on the War of 1812nay. That one was more like a barroom brawl that ended up with everyone bloody.

Guys, be nice to Kirk, let him have his moment. It's not often he'll get to gloat about an Englishman winning something!

 

[quicksdraw]

+1 for the greatest limey export of all time (even better than Pink Floyd)!!

Well, we could win some sort of dental award . . . no, wait.

War of 1812? Why is the White House white again?

The point being: an Englishman won!

 

[Fastmover]

I'm an Englishman and I approve of this message.

Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every now and then .

 

[hip shot]

I guess it just shows even an Englishman can learn to shoot if he spends enough time in America and out of England.

Ian did earn his win, can't take away from that. But on the whole the average American civilian shooter is going to beat the average British.....oh....wait....they aren't allowed to own many of the guns used in Top Shot...guess they don't get top practice much with the AR or M1A1, or with handguns. Well they might be better at shooting pheasant I suppose. As for the British military...I suspect their average soldier is no better than the average American soldier.

Tttthhhhppppfffftttt!!!! Only because no Irishmen wanted to muck about with it!

No, current events just disproved that.

An Englishman beat 300 million Americans including representatives from the United States Army, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

BTW, I know English names are very complicated as the choices for males are usually Ian or Nigel.

But Iain's names is spelled I-a-i-n.

What events are those?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Top Shot, it was this show on the History Channel in which an Englishman bested 300 million Americans, including memebers of the United States Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

As an insurance adjuster, my only logical conclusion is Brit arson jobs are so weak that a coat of paint fixes them.

Plus they build crappy little frigates; weak kneed and under gunned.

Lol - they do alright by setting them on fire and putting them into battle that way though...lol

Seriously Iain proves the point that was made when this country was founded. The best of England know to get the hell out of there and become Americans.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Frigates?

Right then, this wasn't a game of Wooden Ships and Iron Men.

There was real shooting involved.

Frigates. We had eight of them! Until Philip Broke took one away.
