    'He's not an assassin!'. That's exactly what an assassin's accomplice would say.
  • Everyone else looks like they've been training for months, locked in, and this dude looks like he was at a PTA meeting for his daughter's school when the Turkish government asked him to get on a plane and compete.

    Had a compulsory marksmanship test with a rifle a few decades ago. Pretty much was borderline fail at 50 percent rate. Before the test, someone told me that the test wasn't all that important. I was completely relaxed and scored 90 percent. Same thing happened with another sport. Someone else completely tricked me into relaxing and I did better. This guy is onto something. You want to have the desire to do well, but not be so nervous it gets in your way.
  • @patricial.6758
    I heard he is ex-military. Just a really cool, calm person.
  • @jerseyneil1
    If James Bond was real, this would be him. Cool, calculated and looks like the average guy.
  • @roland1912
    He shot an air pistol. There's no combustion, it's not very loud, not much recoil, there wasn't a need for ear or eye protection.
  • @TheRadFactor
    Special forces assassin taking holidays and going to Paris. 😂
  • @slowbro1337
    That man is the kind of guy that beats a free to play gatcha game without spending anything😅
  • @DiaperDon
    They don't wear ear protection because its not required when shooting air pistol🔫
  • @TheWorldsStage
    I'm not saying he's a hitman but I am saying he has a barcode on his head and has a habit of tossing coins as a distraction
  • @kinghenryxl1747
    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂EVERYBODY was waiting for Cenk and Hasan to comment on that guy.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • @StarChild.no1
    That’s the duel stance. He added the cool factor putting his hand in his pocket.
  • @the_morf
    I believe Tom Cruise played him in a movie called Collateral.
