Strange but true!
I know a lot of Internet stories aren't fully truthful, but the following anecdote is so improbable that I've scarcely bothered to brag about it (even to my tangible friends).
The silliest trick-shot-like feat I've ever actually pulled off was with a HiPoint .40 carbine (I know the OP was about 9mm, but hardly a difference really). Anyway, I suspended a pill bottle by a string from the 100m rail at my rifle club. As light faded, I severed the string using my BSA 4x scope on said carbine. It was a steady shot that hit right on the crosshairs, and I just wish someone else had been there to corroborate.
That, and my Yugo M59 Simonov is stupid-accurate. So I'm not sure what I've been able to add to the discussion (except isolated, anecdotal evidence for both sides).
Bon appetit!
