Warriors Face Elimination from Competition on Grueling Military Reality Show
By: Gabrielle Sierra Nov. 07, 2011
Maximum Warrior is a one-of-a-kind competition that tests 20 contestants in 15 action-packed, adrenaline-filled challenges. Presented by MAXIM, in partnership with the Jeep® Brand, Maximum Warrior just released its sixth webisode: Combat Pistol. In this challenge, each of the six remaining military warriors had to shoot and hit multiple targets with his GLOCK model 17 pistol within one minute. Episode six, however, is not just about having good aim and getting bulls-eyes. With flash bangs, smoke grenades and other distractions, warriors were forced to duck and cover, while still engaging targets from various firing positions around a Jeep Wrangler. The warrior with the least amount of points at the end of the Combat Pistol challenge six was eliminated from the competition. The Combat Pistol challenge was won by U.S. Air Force Pararescue Luke D. who hit 27 targets in one minute, five more targets than the second place contender.
Combat Pistol Challenge:
The Combat Pistol challenge proved nerve wracking for the Warriors as they only had 60 seconds to complete the entire challenge. Their chances of hitting targets with their GLOCK model 17 pistols were hampered by countless smoke grenades detonating, flash bangs sounding and having to take cover at various points of the challenge. In addition to the warriors' marksmanship-under-duress skills, the challenge also put their quick thinking abilities to the test.
