So, how do they do it? Well, mainly through some seriously good aim, but Sarabro also doesn’t reload either of his pistols once, and rarely fires more than one bullet at a target, saving precious ammunition and thus cutting down his record time even further.
It’s also worth mentioning that they’re playing with a mouse and keyboard on PC, which naturally offers a better experience for precision-based challenges such as this one. That said, a user in the comments beneath Sarabro’s footage has claimed that the best console players are also hitting around 10 seconds using a controller, so the disparity isn’t too large.
