- Support. Eyecatching and interesting; made me click through to the article. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:34, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
- Question - Why are they shooting down? The article doesn't make that clear. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:59, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
- I had the same question. But looking at some YouTube videos it appears that direction of fire isn't a strict requirement, and there are many variants. Perhaps the article shouldn't explicitly say that firing has to be into the sky? --Paul_012 (talk) 22:01, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- Support What an action moment. In the article it is said that only one person shoot at a time but here two guns are having flames, a perfect action shot. The background is also catchy and appropriate. Godhulii 1985 (talk) 13:12, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- Actually the article says they're trying to shoot simultaneously, so this image likely shows an imperfect performance. I think it's good enough, though. At least it somewhat shows the difficulty of achieving perfect synchronisation. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:01, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- Support - So long as the downwards shot is acceptable in this type of performance. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:11, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
