Default WARNING POSSIBLE REPOST: Top Gear Shooting Cars

Looks old, but I've never seen this clip...but that doesn't mean anything:

http://media.putfile.com/Top-Gear---Car-Shooting

Something in me doubts Clarkson is that good a shot with the rocket and machine gun..especially when he wasn't even directly behind it.

HOT METAL, Clarkson does not put everything on top gear. I think he uses a few different unique features to sell his dvd and not make it exactly top gear.

you can clearly see that the rocket shot is completely fake ... there is absolutely no smoke trail also if you look closely you can even see that it was edited in afterwards rather sloppily

i have already seen this video long ago but not posted here

Mythbusters did something about the exploding car, if a car really blows up when you shoot it and it turns out that when you shoot a car with a gun, even the gas tank, that it does not explode. So yes, it is fake.

Yeah, you're right... One would have to be insanely skilled to hit that car with the carl gustav(and standing :roll: ), and what he said about the grenade looking for the fuel tank, just isn't true...

Believe me, I've fired this weapon enough times to say that he would have to be some kind of god to manage this shot.. I could make it maybe 1 in a 100.. And they say you shouldn't fire more than 100 of these grenades in your life.. Damn, it's so powerful..!!

Usually isn't that much of a smoke trail though, silentm...
