I'm not sure if it's the muzzle blast which bursts the balloons, not the bullet, but the speed,especially with a single action gun is still remarkable!

They are special ammo made to look like real ammo, but the bullet bursts after exiting the barrel, usually coal dust or sumat similar.
have you never tried real rapid fire in a comp,
5 targets which rotate, first round is 5 in 8 secs, then 5 in 6 secs & 5 in 4 secs,
Got 4 silver cups & a bronze medal for rapid fire.
There was a bloke named Ed McGivern who held the world record for a good number of years 5 bullets into a 1" circle at 15 feet in 4/10th of a sec, it happened so fast that the witnesses couldn't believe it, so he put a new target up and did it again.
He could also put a bullet thro a washer thrown up in the air, to prove it he stuck postage stamps over the hole in the washer.
I wonder how much ammo he used in practice.
Retlaw.
