http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Munden_(shooter)
While Munden's abilities appear remarkable, there are a few tricks to the trade [...] For one, Munden does not use period correct firearms, holsters, or other hardware when demonstrating action shooting. [...]
Furthermore, the use of blanks creates the illusion of accuracy while fast drawing, when in fact just aiming a gun loaded with a blank cartridge in the general direction of a balloon (one of Munden's choice targets) at close range will destroy the target where a live round would likely miss. Firing blanks also means a very low recoil which in turn provides for a rapid succession of rounds to be fired, yet in real life applications would be pointless.

Shortly after Bob's other world record for the most Smug look on Earth - 2:00, I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted Osama Binladen sporting the crappiest Abe Linkin disguise ever on the left of that group of onlookers.
Still, it's the last place you'd look for him.

Real gun, fake bullets. Fast draw, slow personality.

Humans muscle can react in 1/1000 of a second so he says he does it in 2/100 what gives him enough time to accomplish what he does.

You people have obviously never seen a real fast-draw competition or record revolver shooting. All fast draw artists must react to a signal, draw, cock and shoot from the hip - targeting just takes practice. As far as the ability to shoot fast with a revolver, the current record is 5 shots in 45/100 second by Ed McGivern in 1932. He was 58 at the time. The closest time to appoach McGivern's record is by current fast-shot revolver artist Jerry Miculek, endorsed by Smith & Wesson and current record holder for many world shooting records with revolvers, including 8 shots (from an 8 shot revolver) in 1 second. His 5 shot attempt was recorded at .57 seconds (57/100th). His shooting isn't just speed - he's shooting at targets for accuracy as well. His grouping and speed have to be seen to be believed.
Note that there are different types of drawn weapon competitions. Quick-Draw, Cowboy Action and Fast-Draw all are different competitions. Fast-Draw competitions use both blanks and wax bullets, but regardless of what they're using, rules state that the shooter must start with a holstered weapon, hand not touching the gun. The match begins with an audible or visual cue - the time is recorded by a wax bullet hitting a metal plate or a ballon popping for blanks. World-class shooters can draw and fire under a 1/2 second. The current record for open-style, standing, with blanks is .206, which includes the reaction time. Reaction times for the best fast draw shooters is 0.145 seconds, which means that the gun is cocked, drawn, aimed (from the hip), and fired in just over 0.06 seconds.
Fast-draw competitors typically are required to take on an "alter-ego" and name. Period clothing and hardware is also required.

Its real, I saw a thing on the history channel about the worlds fastest shooters and a guy shot 6 rounds reloaded and shot 6 shots again, on target, in 2.99 seconds; and 8 shots on 1 target in 1 second. Just remember that a bullet travels faster than the speed of sound so its faster than what you hear. You can search it on Google.
