Austin Butler proved himself to be a true bad guy by showing off his firearms skills in a video shared to social media that went viral.
Taran Tactical Innovations posted the video clip on Instagram on Sunday. Butler changed magazines so quickly that if he had blinked he would have really missed it. This famous actor showed impressive fire placement and completely amazed with the speed with which he drew and reloaded his weapon. He demonstrated rapid-fire pistols, as well as amazing demonstrations of unloading and reloading handguns and rifles. His level of accuracy is amazing, and the video was just a practice day and a sample of what fans can expect in his upcoming film, City on Fire.
There was nothing forced or manufactured about his firearms skills.
Butler removed it from the holster with lightning speed and casually clicked the gun, hitting the target like a master marksman. The sniper's eyes were steady, fixed on his target, and he loaded each weapon without the slightest hesitation. Despite clearly moving as fast as he could, he seemed completely at ease.

Butler's Dune: Part 2 co-star Tetiana Gaidar, who also honed her firearms skills, was visibly impressed by what she saw.

Butler was a total natural. His insane gun skills will be put to good use on the set of City on Fire. The film is currently in pre-production, and if this video is any indication, fans are in for a thrill ride.
The actor's final project, Dune: Part 2, was released in theaters on Friday.
