- Fight takes place in an old warehouse.
- Opponents start on different ends.
- Everyone is wearing street clothes. No other tech or gear.
- Everyone has a pair of pistols, and they are all running Hershel's infinite ammo mod, so assume that won't be an issue.

And for those who might not remember, Clint has used a gun onscreen before, at the beginning of The Avengers when Loki arrives. IIRC, he might even actually be the one who shoots Loki in the face.

So, who wins?

Dead shot has the most impressive feat, especially with a gun. This fight is with a gun remember.

h1a8
Deadshot with absolute ease. Spite

TheVaultDweller
The warehouse this is taking place has a relative amount of clutter, cover etc. So, this isn't a pure shootout. Things like stealth (seeing as they start in different positions), agility, tactics etc. also play a factor. Because, quite frankly, given how accurate all three are, I doubt any of them would have an actual problem landing a critical hit if they got a clean shot on any of the others.

this comes down to floyd or dex..

I don't think it would be a lot of clutter in an old unused warehouse. Also, neither Bullseye or Hawkeye has the gun feats of shooting objects from warehouse type of distances.

While that was impressive, it's still not as impressive as bouncing your bullets off the building across the street to hit a guy (actively moving and dodging) a few stories above you. Then doing it multiple times.

yea rewatched a lot of Dex's feats and he takes this really, really easy

What you think doesn't really matter. My thread, my OP. I get to set and specify/clarify the terms, as long as the thread is still within the first page/few posts, as it still is, as per MvF rules. The area I had in mind was similar to the front factory/warehouse of the building out of which the Fraternity operate in Wanted, but not quite as big. Maybe 2/3 the size, but similarly filled with old machinery and junk.

And the others most certainly have feats to suggest they could hit someone at that distance with a gun. But I remember the ridiculous lengths you tend to go to to lowball anyone matched against Deadshot, whether it's Bullseye, Hawkeye, Tilda, Wesley Gibson etc. so, not going to waste any more time here than I already have. I learned my lesson from the past, and I know there is nothing to gain from it. You are just going to push the same, tired arguments, despite the fact that numerous people, including myself, Frothbyte, Robtard and others have already debunked them.

To be fair, Dex hit with the first shot, but once Matt used his senses to figure out where Dex was shooting from, he was able to further use them to keep him and Nadeem out of the way of the other shots, by using things like the mirror to trick Dex into shooting at a reflection to waste bullets. Though the scene also makes it clear that Nadeem was clueless and would not have made it out of there alive without Matt, who was able to hear things like the gun cocking.

Matt avoided getting shot because, though he did use his senses, they also had furniture to hide behind. Had there been no furniture in that room I doubt they could have avoided Dexter's shots, enhanced senses or no.

It's more than a billion times more impressive. The probability of sending two back to back bullets through the same hole is less than 1 in a billion. The probability of sending 3 rounds is less than 1 billionth times 1 billionth. Keep going to you get all the rounds shot by DS.

DS had to be accurate to less than the nearest millimeter. That means the angle he shot the bullet has to have an error no less than basically an infinitesimal.

The other two never showed this type of accuracy. There is plenty of error to still achieve their feats. For example, if the goal is to hit someone's head (by ricochet) then you can be off a slight angle and still achieve the result. Think of the game of pool. The pocket is wide enough where the difference from the minimum to maximum angle that you can bank a shot and still make the pocket is significant. And ricochet objects is based off physics and geometry (can be learned). Shooting all those bullets through the same hole is impossible (no matter how accurate someone is).

So you're saying a feat where one is shooting at close range with no obstacles, at stationary targets that are clearly visible in a straight line, in a calm and controlled environment in clear lighting...

... is somehow more impressive than a feat where one is shooting at long range with multiple obstacles in the way, at moving targets who are actively trying to avoid getting hit and are not visible other than through a reflection in a window across the alley, in a chaotic and stressful environment in dim lighting?

Now that's retarded.

Lol what? I was a range coach for the U.S. Marines and at a few hundred yards i could hit a dime with a M16 A4 at least 7 out of ten times. A dime is the same size roughly as your eye. Granted thats a stationary target but still..

There are people out there so much better than me its not even funny. Some trick shooters out there are absolutely insane with what they can pull off. So not sure where your getting this billions and billions stuff from.

When it comes to marksmanship almost anything is possible with the enpugh practice.

To Squall, of course it is. But to say billions and billions is stretching a lot. Go watch some trick shooters, they can and have done some pretty crazy stuff.

I thought that was Daredevil.

Im still going with Deadshot but lets chill on the hyperbole.

Bullseye was pretending to be Daredevil under Fisk's orders in S3, in order to destroy Daredevil's reputation.

This incarnation of the character was actually pretty interesting IMO. They went the opposite of the movie/tv stereotype where the grizzled army vet goes crazy from seeing too much violence. Bullseye showed psychotic tendencies as a child, and he and his therapist knew there was something seriously wrong, so he joined the military and later the FBI, actually using the strict system, rules, discipline etc. to try and keep himself on the straight and narrow, which he actually managed to do until Kingpin entered his life.

FrothByte
Deadshot doesn't have feats of actually going up against trained, skilled opponents. Actually he does against Batman and he got his ass handed to him

Bullseye wins by default due to having better feats.

TheVaultDweller
Just to play Devil's Advocate, what about Clint? No one even thinks about him, even though he arguably has the best stealth (his whole Endgame ninja shtick), reflex (multiple feats of dodging things like energy bolts, even from behind, reacted to Scarlet Witch trying to jump him when she successfully got the drop on BW, Thor, Tony and Hulk, though she had help from her brother with Steve) and combat speed feats (kept up with a super soldier tier opponent in melee for a lot longer than most, in BP) out of all three.

And you don't need to be able to ricochet bullets or have millimeter accuracy with a gun in order to drop an unarmored opponent in these conditions. And he has tons of field experience, against a greater variety of enemies than Deadshot and Bullseye combined at this point.

Adam Grimes
Hawkeye wins.

Yes, and more than a billion times more difficult.
It's impossible (not improbable) to do what DS did.
It's not impossible to do what the others did.


No entity (even God) can send all those bullets through the same hole and with different guns at that distance.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

And here is Bullseye in action with a gun, seeing as you don't seem too familiar with him, based on an earlier comment. This is one of my favourite comic book character introduction scenes to date:

6yEpMGBC3Kc

I love the little details they added, like the double ricochet at 1:02 to hit the guy's knee, and then headshoting him when he drops out of cover. And yes, he kills two guys by throwing pieces of the gun lol.

And here is the pistol sniping feat:

Gp5Kqic6hIc

You'll notice the throws at the end of the vid are also accurate, but Daredevil either dodges or blocks the projectiles with other objects.

h1a8
DS will not miss. The others can. DS can richocet bullets too. Cover won't help.
Clint isn't very accurate with a gun (lack of feats).

Bruh, didn't you read? Deadshot is so awesomesauce that the celestial being who created him and gave him his accuracy is completely incapable of replicating it or ever bestowing that ability to any other creation ever again. God basically used up all his accuracy juice on Floyd. big grin

Yep, I feel the same, hence why I added some other elements, like cover, and started them in different positions. So, marksmanship still plays a big role, but other parts of their skill set will also factor into it. Because I feel like Deadshot and Bullseye are probably better with a gun than Clint, but Clint is better than them in other areas that could factor in.

Adam Grimes
Clint has actual stealth skills and his accuracy is top notch.

And if it ever got physical Floyd and Pointdexter would be ****ed too.

He takes this.

TheVaultDweller
To be fair to Dex, while he doesn't really have much in the way of stealth feats himself, he has been shown to be very good at keeping track of stealthy characters, like Daredevil.

https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11129/111297011/6659222-3219022523-Verif.gif

And Matt is a guy who is routinely able to use a combination of his speed, agility, training and senses to sneak in and out of most places nearly at will, even with several people around.

None of them will miss straight shots, that's why we need to look at their skills beyond that.

Dex is the only one who has feats of using guns against a decent opponent. In a warehouse setting with lots of obstacles you want to back someone who's proven to be able to shoot around obstacles with no prep involved. Again that's Dex.

Clint has the best pure h2h feat but since there will be lots of stuff lying around, Dex still has the very impressive feat of actually defeating DD in CQC. Neither Clint nor Floyd have any feat of actually defeating a high end fighter in cqc.

The source is common sense.
No one has ever reported doing it (two back to back bullets through the same bullet hole). And humans have shot bullets at still targets significantly more than trillions of times. If the average groupings from the top handgun shooters are an inch apart the mathematically it can shown.

Note: We are talking about 2 bullets, not the amount DS actually shot. Considering the amount DS shot then the number is beyond your imagination.

I guess you like to ignore the important part of shooting through the same hole. Let's ignore that and concentrate only on distance and obstacles.

It's impossible to do. The feats from the others are improbable, not impossible.
Again it's more than a billion times more difficult.

Use some common sense. In more than a quintillion tries, the best shooter in the world couldn't do what DS did.


And remember, DS can ricochet bullets too.

Both of what DS and Dex did are impossible to replicate by humans. The difference is that DS did his feat in a controlled, non-stressful environment where he had a clear shot at the target whereas Dex did his feat against a moving target at a longer distance with multiple obstacles in the way.

Guess which one would be more applicable to the scenario at hand.

From an accuracy standpoint what Dex did wasn't impossible. It's just improbable. It can be replicated if the best humans were given under 1 million tries.

If the movie physics allows the ricochet (instead of absorbing the bullet or shattering it upon impact) then many humans can achieve the feat in under a million tries. Simple geometry and trial and error.

The point is that the margin of error is much larger in Dex feat than DS. Think of a bank shot in pool. There are many different angles to still make the pocket. Or the margin of error (angle differential) is significantly large enough to still make the pocket.

So you're saying that a human given a million tries can CONSECUTIVELY hit a moving target via ricocheting off an opposite building towards an upper floor?

First, do you disagree that there is at least one human that can pull of the accuracy of the ricochet feat in under a million tries?

In other words, if the bullets behaves as it did in the show (bounces off) and one only needs accuracy then it can be achieved in under a million tries?
