How many shots?

Awesome post guys , it’s probably helping out a lot of people.
Some of then are waaaay to hard even to get the 3 stars.
Maybe you should add to the list the “Recommended” weapon to get gold on each section.

Pesky Popups is 7.5

What I know:

The Split is either 1.25 or 1.3

RELOADED
Russian Dolls is 3.5
Not Just the Bullseye is either 4 or 4.5
Arch Enemies is LESS than 5.64, don’t know anybody that has it.
Dyna-Foe is either 17, 18, or 19 based on my friends list.

LIGHTS OUT
Chaser is ridiculous. I’m first on my list with 13.54 and it’s not even 3 stars.

Also, Revolver Evolved — Under Cover has to be 5. I have 5.13 and no gold star.

Arch Enemies is probably < 5s, possibly with just 5 shots. A 4.83s/5shot got gold.
Yeah, only gold I see for Revolver Evolved is 5.0s

For you to know:

IT’S NOT 1:30

Must be 1.25 then on the Split.

Also 5s Arch Enemies sounds right, I just got gold with 4.87s / 5 shots.

Sorry I keep posting, but I just killed Under Cover. 4.56 :O

That gives me 100/100 on both Rookie and Expert.

The split is way to hard , i can’t do less than 1.40 no matter what.

I gold starred The Split with 1.17.

It is more than doable but it just requires you to pretty much have the sight lined up on 1 pin in the first half second then you have to swing your gun and just take a wild shot. I am surprised I got it. I also used the benelli M3 super 90, NOT the kel-tec(which I don’t have anyway) I don’t know what the recoil on the kel-tec is like but the benelli m3 super 90 has almost no recoil.

Tordana, why don’t you help us out with Under Cover? It seems impossible that quickly lol. Any tips?

Tass, I’ll give you some extra numbers where you’re not so certain:
Whack-a-Mole – 35.05 gives gold
Behind Bars – 1.34 gives gold
Pin Plugger – 4.51 gives gold
Six-Pack – 6.55 gives gold
Long Shot – 1.93 gives gold
Pesky Popups – 6/6 in 7.51 does NOT give gold
Hangman – 4.14 gives gold
Dyna-Foe – 14.16 gives gold, perfect accuracy is not needed

Under Cover — I start with the one furthest away. Gives me slightly more time to line it up before you can start shooting. That one takes the longest time to aim both shots, then I move to the next nearest, then the closest last. The closest one you can pretty much just double tap as fast as it’ll shoot because the target is so huge.

for dyna foe- it is somewhere between 20 and 16

updated, accurately, with everything except Euro Open.

Great Work Tassel and everyone helping.

Btw Longer Shots – Distant Defenses must be less than 1.00.
I’ve done exactly 1.00 and didn’t unlocked gold stars for me.
After a few more tries i was able to do in in 0.91 and then the gold stars unlocked.

I haven’t quite figured out the “exact” times… everything listed is exact. but i’ve had multiple instances of situations where 1 person has the exact req (say 5s), and has 5.00 and gold and then another has 5.00 and 3-stars. So I really am not sure what determines it. But yeah, assume you actually need .01 under the req.

Number of shots is as important as time

Having some troubles with Pistol Primer’s Contestant Challenge. Anyone knows how to one-shot it?
