It takes serious cojones to have a gunfight. You need nerves of steel, eyes of an eagle and a trigger finger down for anything. Check out the best gunslingers and learn a thing or two about shooting.


Gunfights: never bring a knife to one. The master marksmen in this feature will teach you that and many other rules. These fictional firearms masters are so skilled in the way of the gun that it almost seems superhuman. Capable of making bullets go wherever they want, whenever they want (usually inside people's bodies), these gunslingers are the stuff of legends.

John Marston

No video game has captured the essential nature of the gunfighter as well as Red Dead Redemption. John Marston, the game's protagonist, is an absolutely flawless shot, able to pick off foes from cover, even when firing blind. And don't even get me started on the game's "Dead Eye" system, which lets you slow down time to carefully line up your bullets. If you want to feel what the other people on this list feel when they pump hot lead into a chump, this is the best way to do it.
