Bob Munden

The Guinness Book of World Records listed Bob Munden in the 1980 and previous editions as the “Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived",[6] but they discontinued publishing Munden records in later editions so that the book could be approved as a reference source for school libraries.[4] This led to controversy over the records that Munden claimed to hold and held in the past. Munden's critics have argued that his records are not sufficiently well-documented to be valid and that he currently holds no official Fast Draw world record. Fast Draw includes multiple events, each with its own world record. The record with the shortest time is single-shot open freestyle (using a light-weight gun) held by Ernie Hill, of Litchfield Park, Ariz., with a recorded time of .208 seconds.[7] Munden has received skepticism mostly due to the absence of both written evidence of his records and for the absence of his supposed 3,500 trophies.[3]

At age 68 Bob Munden appeared in Stan Lee's Superhumans. In it, it was found out that his hand is withstanding 10 Gs of force when his weapon is drawn. In a demo, using a Colt .45 single-action revolver, he shot two balloons six feet apart in less than a tenth of a second.

According to his wife Becky, Bob started suffering chest pains while driving home to Butte from a Missoula hospital after receiving treatment for a mild heart attack. Miles from a hospital, he told his wife to keep driving before dying shortly afterward.[8]
