This video demonstrates an advanced revolver trick shot technique, a variation of the 'Annie Oakley' shot, using the reflection off the side plate of a second revolver to aim. The instructor successfully executes this challenging maneuver with various Smith & Wesson revolvers, including .22 LR and .38 Special calibers, and even attempts it with his non-dominant hand. The demonstration highlights the difficulty of mirrored aiming and the precision required to hit a steel plate at 25 yards under these conditions.
