it was Neil Armstrong; how come I can't walk on the moon like him?
there's no reason you can't walk on the moon, if you've got the money to pay for the ride.
No idea how many billions NASA spent getting there, but they did it, so could you. Probably even a bit cheaper (adjusted for inflation) as NASA did all the basic R&D at taxpayer cost. Modern tech will, of course change things, but some basics don't change.
Although I don't know why you'd want to go to the moon. Since we went, and discovered its not made of cheese, we haven't gone back.....
Do image searches on the following folks and look at their forearms.
Ok, so Popeye should be a really good fast competitive pistol shot then???
Not sure, maybe, if he could actually SEE the targets...
Anyway, before we get completely invested in the belief that you need (Or develop) a tremendous physique to be a "master class" shooter, take a look at Ed McGivern.
And, his equipment, and loads....and ONE of his records...that even Miculek couldn't beat. TO date, I don' t think anyone has....
His "Special equipment" was S&W revolvers, and while I'm sure the actions were as slick as could be, there were no brakes, no ports, no comps. Nowhere in anything I've ever seen written about him is there any mention of light or reduced recoil loads. I will admit I have not read his book (its on my "hope to someday" list, still,) as far as I know, (so far) he shot those record times with regular .38 Special ammo.
For us "mere mortals" Generally speaking, the shooter matters most, the gun matters a lot, and the load matters "some".
The shooter supplies their physical ability, the technique used, and their skill in doing it. The gun matters, not so much when you're talking about small differences between very similar guns, but a lot when the guns are radically different. (extreme example, I believe even I could beat a master's time for 5 shots if I'm shooting my Govt Model .45 and the master is shooting my T/C Contender .45-70
Less extreme example; Me using a S&W M28 and the master shooing a Chief Special both shooting standard 158@850fps ammo. The master would probably still smoke my time but the heavy gun's lower recoil would probably let me beat someone of my approximate skill level)
The load generally matters least, compared to the other two, but it still matters. But, in some cases IS the dominant factor in recovery time.
(example, .38 wadcutters vs. full house .357 Mag. Same shooter, same gun, different times due to ammo recoil levels)
Its always a combination. All factors matter. Which one matters most depends on the exact mix at the time.
