US shooters are used to moving targets in schools or seated targets in movie theaters.

The need the screaming in the background.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

I wonder if anyone has edited screaming back in.

Made it into some academic discourse:

to be fair, americans aren't known for their sharpshooting.

Took the invention of the repeating rifle to win the west.

Which movie was it (maybe naked gun?) where it's a 5 minute hallway shootout and none of the cops could hit anything.

[-] SirDerpy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Star Wars. They were part of the rebel alliance and traitors to the empire. But, the cops couldn't hit anything until one of them broke out a shotgun loaded with heat-seeking shot and fired it point blank. Don't judge too harshly. They can't see a thing in those helmets.

Yeah, and blasters are pretty clumsy weapons

To be fair, the utter ruins of our public education system we traded for capitalist tax cuts ensures Americans aren't known for our sharp anything.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

They would have won the drive by and the Pray and spray events. Or if you had an event where the targets were school kids

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Or Las Vegas crowds. It's pretty wild how the Vegas lobby has completely suppressed the memory of the worst mass shooting in US history.

Mongolians are mainly known for their horsemanship rather than their marksmanship. They are probably the best marksman on horseback that have ever lived, but as far as historically being known for their archery.....that's the Koreans, and they're still pretty dominant in the Olympics.

I propose a new sport: horsery

That may be too confusing, you're just going to end up with a bunch of magic casters on horseback.

Just get the Mongolians on a horse

India with less medals than north korea

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago

Only if “tech tutorials” were a thing in the Olympics. I swear the gold medal would never go somewhere else.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Having worked for Comcast, I can also say they'd win gold in the "most coders jammed into a one-person office" competition.

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 6 points 3 months ago

What the hell is north Korea doing in the Olympics anyway?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 47 points 3 months ago

Competing like any other country.

Taking selfies together with South Korean sportspeople. Bet the other North Koreans never get to see them though.

Except that in men's skeet shooting qualifiers right now the US's 2 shooters are leading with spots 1 and 2 with a perfect score and a 124/125.

Sagen Maddalena ruined this meme about 5 hours ago

[-] SorryforSmelling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

thank you. i dont understand how people meme stuff they obv dont even consume

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

At least the Turks got one. The Koreans are preparing their S class rankers for when the gate opens or some shit.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

The men's skeet shooting finals ended up in a shoot-off to determine gold and silver - both Americans.

Most US poular shooting sports (IDPA, 5-gun, etc) aren't represented in the Olympics, with the exception of skeet shooting.

The US has taken home a gold medal in skeet shooting for 5 Olympics in a row.

[-] DeanFogg@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I think US got medals in archery tho
