High drama today in the Oscar Pistorius murder-trial courtroom as Gerrie Nel has submitted a video showing Pistorius at a shooting range where he says “It’s not as soft as brains but fuck it is a zombie stopper.”

Barry Roux initially freaked out and after a short adjournment he conceded and said the video could be watched.

According to SKYnews:

Pictures have emerged of Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius demonstrating his prowess at a gun range, months before he shot dead his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home.

The athlete will appear in court on Monday accused of her murder in a case which will make South African history as the first to be broadcast live for millions around the world to follow.

A series of still photographs show the double amputee runner firing the same silver 9mm pistol he used when he shot Ms Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year.

The athlete is accused of deliberately targeting his girlfriend after a jealous row. But the runner says he shot her after mistaking her for a burglar.

Pistorius is a well-known gun enthusiast. He went to gun ranges regularly and the pictures illustrate not only his familiarity with weapons but also how much of a marksman he is.

He is seen firing at a water melon which explodes as the athlete hits it right in the centre.

A voice which sounds very much like Pistorius’ is heard remarking afterwards “It’s not as soft as brains but fuck it is a zombie stopper”, as his friends shriek in delight.
