vlog archive: Man claims he's the fastest gunslinger who ever lived
bob Blendon says he's the fastest gun who ever lived. No one has yet proved him wrong any time you feel lucky make the first move. London is *** modern day gunslinger traveling from town to town proving just how fast *** draw. He really is *** page right out of the Old West. Maybe an old West movie. London is the first to tell you that the high noon shootout on Main Street only happen in Hollywood, never real life. There's not one incident recorded in history with two men premeditated faced off and drew guns at each other. That is the creation of the movie business for our entertainment. It never really happened, But he's built on that Hollywood fallacy and the Western television series of his childhood to become *** fast draw expert. He's been doing this for more than 30 years. Just how fast. Thanks to slow motion. We're able to time his draws to less than 2/10 of *** second fast maybe. But could he hit anything or anyone drawing that fast? He didn't have any trouble hitting this cup before it hit the ground and this balloon didn't have *** prayer, but watch this. Now watch again carefully in slow motion. In 1/10 of *** second, he fires off. Not one but two shots hitting both balloons dead on. Not too many young gunslingers offered to take monday on, but even as fast as he is, he says he would never have been *** gunslinger in the old West would have been *** bartender. That's where the money was. You can bet there wouldn't have been too many fights in his saloon, dana carton with an eye on Iowa at living history farms.

Bob Munden said he's the fastest gunslinger who ever lived — and had proof to back it up.Munden was named "Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived" by the Guinness World Records, with which he had at least 18 records at the time of his death in 2012.The Missouri man put on a show for the vlog cameras in 1992 when he was in Des Moines for a shooting demonstration. We clocked his quick-draw skills at less than two-tenths of a second as he hit a styrofoam cup at close range. Another show of speed and accuracy saw Munden draw and fire two shots at balloons set about 10 feet apart in under one second. Munden, who surely could've held his own in an Old West-style gunfight, said those shootouts are more fiction than reality. "There's not one incident recorded in history with two men, premeditated, faced off and drew guns at each other," he said. "That is the creation of the movie business for our entertainment. It never really happened."Even if it did, Munden said you wouldn't have found him fighting in the streets."I would've been a bartender," he said.

Munden, who surely could've held his own in an Old West-style gunfight, said those shootouts are more fiction than reality.

"There's not one incident recorded in history with two men, premeditated, faced off and drew guns at each other," he said. "That is the creation of the movie business for our entertainment. It never really happened."

Even if it did, Munden said you wouldn't have found him fighting in the streets.

"I would've been a bartender," he said. "That's where the money was."
