Many times in Swamp People, I have seen them take aim with one gun and then they shoot with a totally different gun. Obviously splice two different incidents together.
Also once they were stranded until they could fix the boat motor. No one mentioned why they didn’t just ride in the boat with the camera.
Be sure to notice the left hand actioned 10-22s and Marlin semiautos when they reverse the film to make the shot look better.
I watched those magical rifle changes since the first season. Did you notice they have never shown an alligator actually getting shot by the boats? The guy aims, shuts his eyes, and water splashes. Every time. A hit to that bony head wouldn't make a splash at all.
I love swamppeople but LOL at your observation, it never occured to me..
