Holy shit, can you imagine getting into a duel with Yul Brynner out of Westworld with that kind of reaction speed?


> Yul Brynner out of Westworld

Dude, I saw that as little kid and it freaked me the hell out. Relentless bald man chased my nightmares for years.

Also, dude! I thought that movie too old / HN too young to remember that sci-fi golden age classic. Thanks for making my day. Although, I worry about bald bad ass chasing me tonight.


According to BBC's QI, a guy who used to teach actors how to shoot said that there were only two people who wouldn't blink when they fired a gun...

Clint Eastwood && Yul Brynner.


considering that we now already have rifle attached directional sound detection of a source of [enemy] shot and experimental helmet mounted phase array radars that are realtime tracking individual flying bullets, the end of people's participation in any kind of duel/battlefield seems to be visible on the horizon.


It will not be end of people's participation, it will just mean that all losses will be civilian.
