Ah the good 'ole days, when you trick shot a cigar out of your buddies mouth, lol. Pretty cool video, I really enjoyed it and makes me miss a simpler time in our history.

Does anybody know if they were using wax bullets or the real stuff for these exhibitions?

Found the answer:

"If you look at the paper back stop when they are shooting the clay pigeon and chalk sticks, they show a pretty clean circular hole. I wouldn't expect a wax bullet to hold up that well on those hard objects."

I watched that vid from a link on another forum earlier today. Things certainly were "different" back then. Can you imagine the huge investigation and firings that would be taking place if something like that went on today? You shot what out of your co-workers mouth and ears?
