That was under a controlled test, where the targets were around 20 feet away from the expert shooting the weapon, and he was smart enough to wait before the two targets lined up before he shot. In a battlefield where the flash of gunpowder fills the field with smoke, and bullets are flying back and forth and defeaning cannon fire pounds the earth up five feet from your position, you're not going to be accurate. Deadliest Warrior's tests need to be taken with a grain of salt because anyone can decapitate a gel torso with no arms or legs - it's a challenge to do so when the target is fighting back.
