Experts - how fast can you shoot accurate follow-up shots?

Who was the guy in the TV show back in the 80's, who is a real shooter?

There is a youtube clip of him drawing and shooting multiple shots, and then placing the weapon on the dead man's chest and walks away.

That might help out to visually show what these guys can do.

It was a Miami Vice episode, the shooter was Jim Zubiena (I think he was an "A" class at the time.)

There were no tricks in the filming, that's him doing it (with blanks). He said it required several takes because his latex gloves kept catching on the gun during the draw.

Then there is the briefcase scene from Collateral Damage. Briefcase Scene. Looks smoking fast, but when taken into the context of a "square range", it's nothing special.

Yes, it looks good, but looking closer, you see Cruise misses his initial firing grip a little bit.

It also becomes apparent that the two guys shown weren't actually present when Cruise fired the full flash blanks. They were layered in afterwards.
