Buenos Aires, Nov 29 (NA) – A video shared on social media shows Santiago Caputo at a shooting range, which generated significant visual and technical impact, although his times are notably slower than those of a U.S. Navy SEAL operator. In the footage, Caputo fires 16 shots in 98.57 seconds in a climate-controlled shooting range, under ideal conditions: no movement, no prior physical fatigue, and with a static target. His best recorded split (interval between shots) is 0.09 seconds. According to technical records from actual Navy SEAL training, they achieve these times after running 10 kilometers with full gear, shooting on the move or from a retreating position, under physical stress, at night, and with multiple reactive targets. In comparison, Caputo's performance is two to three times slower than that of an average SEAL or DEVGRU operator, even on a regular training day. Additionally, commandos achieve 100% hits in critical areas such as the center of mass or the head. According to sources like the NSW Pistol Training Continuum and public records from instructors who work with special forces, such as Kyle Defoor, Travis Haley, and Pat McNamara, operational shooting standards far exceed what Caputo demonstrated. However, according to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out, Caputo exhibits a level well above the average Argentine civilian, placing him in the top 1% of recreational or competitive shooters, despite limited access to shooting ranges and ammunition.
