Gentlemen,
Here is a recreation of Mersa's masterpiece. Not quite as well put together of a video, but I was able to at least complete the shot.
https://youtu.be/3m1IsVCD3cYSo, I actually ended up doing this shot 2 times. The first time was actually an "accident" as I was aiming at the left side of the bottlecap instead of the right (and hit it 2 times!, just tightening the lid, not realizing it was my hit that did it) and hit the right. I didn't think it counted, since the aiming point wasn't intentional (even though the end result was intentional). So this is video of the time it actually counted! It took 2 days to complete, probably 200-250 shots total to get it. I destroyed 3 bottle lids, they just burst when I would hit the bottle on accident.
Also, using a 160g rusty ball is WAY easier than using a small 30g rubber ball. Kudos to Mersa. I would have been at this for a few more days, I think, using his ammo.
