My guess is 99.99% of them.

I was at the range the other day. There was some guy a few lanes over that had at least 1 cannon maybe 2. I don't know what he was shooting, but it made my 9mm sound like a pop gun.

5 yards and his groups were easily 12". The crazy thing is that he'd shoot 1 or 2 shots nice and slow and actually hit decently, then he'd shoot a few rounds a bit faster and they'd be all over the place. Then he'd fire off a volley of rounds at light speed. I kept thinking, "he's a lousy shot, but really good at spending money on ammo."

He must have had 2 guns because at one point I looked over and saw him shooting a revolver that was some huge stainless beast that had what was either a 6" or more likely an 8" barrel. It was enormous.

I'm not a great shot, but I'm trying to work on it, and I'm getting better. Pretty much every time I'm at the range I see folks that are shooting 8" and 12" groups at 5-7yards. I've seen guys with lasers shooting 6" groups at 5 yards.

Honestly, I love it when those folks are there. They make me feel like a sharp shooter.
