It's Soldier vs. Gamer in Real Life Modern Warfare

What would happen if you pitted a real life soldier vs. a pro gamer in a Modern Warfare 2 challenge? Well, I thought that this exercise would have both playing the game, to see if real world shooting skills transferred to an Xbox, but no, The Gadget Show went all out.

Their man, Jason Bradbury was playing the game, trying to get the best time possible on The Pit, the training level where the player shoots at moving targets. But they enlisted a SAS soldier to run a real-life version of the course that they built from scratch, using a real gun and running on real legs. Now THAT'S a competition I can get behind.

If you can ignore Jason Bradbury being an absolute tool throughout the course of the video, it's pretty awesome to watch, and the soldier's final performance is pretty damn impressive no matter the final rankings.

Now, I think they should make Bradbury run through with an MP5 and see how HE does.
