Important note, he had ear protection. Deeply seated ear plugs (as they should be) visible in photos looking from the side.

solrize ,

The event is air pistols, which are way less loud than bang bangs. So regarding hearing protection, who knows.

brophy ,

who knows

We know. Everyone knows. The ear plugs are visible in many photos/video clips

Legit, the guy reminds me of my grandfather teaching us punk kids to shoot. Just utterly casual, but with decades of competition and practical shooting experience behind being able to be casual and smooth with whatever gear he had on hand.

We went camping the first time me and my next oldest cousin were expressing an interest. It was air rifles and air pistols that first time. My grandfather sets things up, takes the air pistol, assumes the same stance as this guy on the pic and drops a group so tight it was one small hole. No prep, no thinking, just a lifetime of practice.

I’m all enthusiastic, get my turn, and miss the entire target lol. Not a single pellet hit. But boy, was I imitating my grandfather. I thought so anyway lol.

Furbag ,

He’s got that casual action movie hero stance.

I want them to be in a buddy cop movie together. The young tech assassin and old no nonsense cop.

This is cool but no ear protection is not. Guns make you deaf, just like motorcycles.

elvith ,

Are those “real” pistols, or air pistols? Because the latter should make you deaf. So.eone else commented, they’d not use it for protection but to focus and reduce distractions from the audience and other sounds

eee ,

These are air pistols which shoot pellets propelled by compressed air, not your usual guns. They make a moderately loud pop, but nothing like gunpowder - you can stand behind someone firing and have a normal conversation.

That said the guy is wearing earplugs - more for concentration and to block out crowd noise than anything

Lets_Eat_Grandma ,

Ah earplugs are cool and that totally counts as ear protection. It’s what I use anyway when I go to the shooting range or ride my ninja 650.

Couldn’t make out that it was an air gun from just the photo.

thedirtyknapkin ,

yeah, they just meant no “specialized” ear protection. I’m guessing korea had some equally crazy ear gear to match the 90s hacker assassin glasses.

EddoWagt ,

Compressed air is surprisingly loud, even if it doesn’t sound loud, it can still damage your hearing

sudneo ,

No, these guns are not. They make very little noise. It’s louder the sound of the target being hit. Source: I have practiced this sport.

EddoWagt ,

Fair enough!

Motorcycles are deaf?

Only the ones that play with guns

Dude looking like he rolled out of bed, on that daily grind, going to win a medal and then grab some coffee, kiss the wife, and mow the yard.
