This is a video of Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear shooting cars as they fly off a cliff with a shotgun, machine gun, and finally -- a rocket launcher with some sort of seeking munition that ricochets around and explodes fuel tanks. Awe to the some! This officially makes Top Gear is the awesomest show since I made my little brother try to jump over a kiddy pool filled with burning gasoline on a modified Big Wheels. Whoa bro, don't get mad at me -- I said hit the ramp at FULL SPEED. It's not my fault if you don't know how to follow directions. Seriously though, get well soon.

faaaake this video is so fake it makes heidi montag's tits look real. when he shoots the rocket launcher you can almost hear him going "Psshow! Boom!" with his mouth.

For never firing a rocket launcher before, he's got an awful good aim.

I call shenanigans.

That was pretty cool though...

It was fake... Top Gear still is the best show on earth, though.

Jeremy is awesome. I love Top gear. Some of the best comedy ever. Here's another video where he's destroying cars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILpZnGvglo

Now I am not sure how good his aim is, but he's been around so I wouldn't be surprised if he was a good shot.

Shame the video stopped before they got to something bigger.

This footage is only about a year old....

fake? not sure, don't care. entertaining? absolutely. the gents at top gear know how to make a show that appeals to pretty much everyone who sees it. this is one of their more extreme segments, but even their "normal" car reviews are entertaining and incredibly well shot. love this show.

Jeremy Clarkson is God & Top Gear = the best show on TV in the UK.

I love Top Gear is one of the BEST shows on T.V. Who cares if it's fake? I don't!

wow.. that was the worst description of how a High Explosive Anti-Tank round works that i could have imagined.

11. Mr V - March 26, 2008 1:25 PM

wtf? Even if some of it was faked, how the frick did Top Gear get permission to handle anti-vehicle rocket hardware? That's insane.

12. dan - March 28, 2008 6:29 PM

um.. even though the carl gustav can use rocket assisted projectiles, it's a recoiless gun rather than a rocket launcher...

which also means that the projectiles would travel much quicker than the video shows.
