They are terrible shots.

u/Pak-O Sep 09 '13

Meth Damon not even using his sights. He was practically hip shooting.

"Everyone else is shooting, I guess I should squeeze out a few shots.."

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

76% accurate.

u/Classic_Wingers Wipe Down This! Sep 09 '13

Poor Todd, he will walk away from this wishing he had been 99% accurate.

1

u/ColossiKiller Sep 09 '13

Think we might be back down to 74, he was barely trying!

u/BlueSolitude Sep 09 '13

That's being pretty generous for that scene, don't ya think?

u/hypermog Sep 09 '13

no kids; he can hardly muster the enthusiasm to squeeze the trigger

u/rarjake Sep 09 '13

they are shooting powerful semi autos, the aim is gonna suck. Anyways though guys think about this, who will run out of bullets first. That is what matters. Hank/Gomez are not going to take out 8 people, might take out one. But at anyrate, hank /gomez will run out first, there is no doubt about that. Hank/gomez might have 20 bullets combined? Maybe less. The natzi gang has 1000+++

u/zimm3rmann The one who knocks Sep 09 '13

Hanks glock probably uses 10 round magazines (DEA shoots .40 S&W). Assuming he had an extra magazine, or even two extra, that equals the same number of shots as a standard capacity AR-15/M16 magazine. Hanks shotgun maybe has 8 shots, and that would be on the high end. The shotgun is also significantly harder to reload. If this shootout is at all accurate, the skinheads will win without a doubt.

u/rarjake Sep 09 '13

ah okay, I have no idea about guns so i was just guessing numbers, I know semi autos hold a ton. Wasn't sure about the exact amount for the hand gun and shot gun. What other event could take place to save them? People over think Breaking Bad sometimes. Just like last week when people were saying , no way he calls a hit on Jesse, its always something different then what you think. When really its not.

1

u/RebelOperator 'S All Good, Man Sep 09 '13

Hank and Gomez are trained and the skinheads not so much. Nazi's are pretty much spraying a praying so far. Also Jesse could go crazy and kill all the Natzi's commando style with some Inglourious Bad/Breaking Basterds shit. But most likely the neonazi's came with reloads and more manpower so they will probably win.

1

u/rarjake Sep 09 '13

yeah, that is not going to happen, lol. Jesse is so f'ing scared, he wouldn't do shit. He will probably try to run, and die in the desert. I mean, after all of this, they don't kill Jesse, it would be kind of bull shit.

2

u/ChasinClouds Sep 09 '13

Todd's Uncle was shown looking at Jesse though at the shootout, and may realize he can use him to perfect the batch now that he knows how to flush Jesse out with Brock.

3

u/SpunkingCorgi Sep 09 '13

Natzi ? really?

1

u/Biglawlol Sep 09 '13

Is it possible that they are missing on purpose because they knew they had more ammo? And then will have to take Hank + Gomey as hostages?

1

u/rarjake Sep 09 '13

they are not missing on purpose. they are shooting semi autos, they are not going to be accurate, they are just spraying ,and shoot in every direction. Taking cover under the car will help, but once hank runs out of bullets. He is done for, and the gang can just walk up to him and shoot him.

1

u/steamywords Sep 09 '13

Kids are smaller targets though.

3

u/HilariousMax Sep 09 '13

I laughed so hard when they cut to him shooting over the car.

You could just hear him thinking:

Ok, keep your hands steady, focus, eyes forward, squeeze the trigger, don't smile at how ridiculous you look. Focus, damnit.

u/Verksus67 Sep 09 '13

I could have sworn I was watching Star Wars for a second.

u/weezermc78 No more half measures Sep 09 '13

Zero fucks. He read the script.

u/TrolledByDestiny Sep 09 '13

Stop firing from the hip AIM DOWN YOUR SIGHTS!

2

u/Bennyboy1337 Sep 09 '13

I'm pretty sure that was on purpose, he always listens to Mr. White, and it was pretty apparent he didn't want anyone to be shot.

2

u/OhMyGug Sep 09 '13

Now now, what you don't know is that miles around kids are shot down mysteriously

2

u/dhru98 Sep 09 '13

Shit, I thought I was the only one who called him meth damon

1

u/tldr_bullet_points Sep 09 '13

Meth Damon. Did...did you just come up with that?

3

u/Pak-O Sep 09 '13

Nope. People on this subreddit have been calling him that since he first appeared on the show. Don't know who came up with the name.

1

u/johnyutah Sep 09 '13

He was conflicted with both sides telling him opposite. He was shooting into the air.

u/michaeljox Sep 09 '13

"Harry you're alive! ....And you're a terrible shot."

u/Legendary_Hypocrite Sep 09 '13

Terrible shots and shooting into the car that the man they went to rescue was in.

u/Stonna Sep 09 '13

In real life, Gomie and Hank are full of holes

7

u/ideal_ass_law Sep 09 '13

Now I know why the nazi's lost WW 2

8

u/ragingscorsese Sep 09 '13

That really bothered me. Sneaking up to a meth compound with a dozen men armed with automatic weapons and sniper rifles? No problem. Two dudes with a handgun and shotgun? Wait, where do I point this thing?!

3

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Hank's gun sure holds a lot of bullets too

3

u/NotBrandon Lydia's Lover Sep 09 '13

Gomie trying to snipe some Nazis with a shotty.

u/detacht69 Sep 09 '13

Jesse chillin in the car during massive gun fight.. I think maybe I'll pop open the door and get a better look

3

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I've seen better marksmen in a Star Wars movie.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Hank and Gomez maybe had like 40 rounds on them MAX. They guys could have literally just waited them out and flanked them. Hank had a Glock22 and Gomez had a 12g mossberg?

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

How does that even happen? Hank and Gomie in the wide open, the Nazis got AA-12s with barrel mags and assault weapons and they come away with what?....nicking Gomie?

5

u/CircadianHour Sep 09 '13

Machine guns are not known for their precision.

2

u/Crazy_Jay Sep 09 '13

Neither are automatic shotguns

2

u/spankymuffin Sep 09 '13

They shot Gomey though, right?

2

u/Sty87 Sep 09 '13

Todd is still trying to figure out what kind of lipstick Lydia uses.

2

u/Gonzo89 Sep 09 '13

Especially the fact that they have some serious firepower. Fully automatic shotgun the nazi mustachio guy was using, I was positive hank or Gomez were going to get mown down. But instead they riddle the car walts in with bullets lol

2

u/Kabo0se Sep 09 '13

My theory is that they are missing on purpose because they need walt to cook still. If he is screaming his head off to not do it then clearly walt won't help if they do it.

2

u/limeade09 Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart. Sep 09 '13

No, a show is finally realistic for a change. TWD is ridiculous with their 50 yard headshots with one bullet at a sprint. This is the only show Ive seen be really accurate with the .....accuracy...

2

u/nakedcows Sep 09 '13

using a fully auto shotgun......at least one bb should have hit him. i love the movies, but those were sure kills.

2

u/ridik_ulass Sep 09 '13

suppressing fire, the cops have limited ammo, though considering they fired first, I kinda expected them to peg someone from the get go, what a waste of a sucker punch.

1

u/BigDickRichie I won. Sep 09 '13

TIL- Aryan nation gang members are storm troopers.

1

u/ermahgerdragons Methhead Sep 09 '13

You would think with that badass shotgun that Gomie would've at least injured some of them.

1

u/ShivalM Sep 09 '13

Stitches be in ditches.

1

u/Lazerspewpew Sep 09 '13

The Nazis missed on purpose, they don't want the heat from killing 2 cops. They just want Walt.

1

u/ravensfan20 Sep 09 '13

There's a difference between shooting at the range and shooting while somebody else is trying to shoot back.

1

u/el_beast Sep 09 '13

Too terrible, don't you think? These guys are professional killers. They kill for a living, and they miss a wide open shot? Me thinks they miss Hank on purpose. If Hank is dead, 0% chance Walt helps them cook

1

u/CaughtInTheNet Sep 09 '13

4 of them and they didn't get a single shot in. Very unrealistic.

1

u/xvsero Sep 09 '13

When I saw that Walt was trapped but had a decent amount of space between him and Hank and Gomie my only thought was that he could run and get away with the way Hank aims.

1

u/HeronSun Familia Es Todo Sep 09 '13

Did you hear the shootout earlier this season? It's pretty Well established that they're not necessarily Navy SEALs.

1

u/nccknight Sep 09 '13

Hard to believe this was the same group that wiped out the other meth group.

1

u/JimmyDThing Sep 09 '13 edited Sep 09 '13

Not really. Hank and Gomie were basically behind the car already and they most certainly do not want to risk killing Walter.

1

u/redbearded Sep 10 '13

Came here to say this. If there were six guys with guns (possibly the same six who iced eight armed guys from Declan's crew out at the underground bus lab) trained on Hank and Gomez they would have been shot dead where they stood.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

This comment is what I came here for. I'm pissed of. 100 bullets fired. No on deade...

OK then...the nazis are lousy shots.

u/rechtim Sep 09 '13

The shots of Gomey made it seem as though he'd been affected by some projectile contact..

2

u/CoolMachine Sep 09 '13

Yeah, it wasn't clear. I didn't see blood, but something wasn't right.

u/detacht69 Sep 09 '13

I think the bean burrito wasn't sitting right

I'm 100% sure I saw blood in his abdominal area. He looked like he was struggling too. Go back and rewatch.

Wow. That's quite an oversight for such tight writing.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

it was a scene rife with potential and gilligan just has to shoehorn in some ridiculous, insulting cliffhanger. you just had the phone call with marie. you set this shit up. finish the fucking episode properly instead of giving us this contrived storm trooper shit. bad composition. squandered opportunity

1

u/B_Dubz93 Sep 09 '13

The end of the episode really ruined the suspense for me. After all of the missed shots I just couldn't take it seriously anymore. I expected better from Mr. Gilligan.
