While I don't consider "Half Shot Shooters" to be a classic it was one of the shorts that flowed very well and had some funny scenes that I've overlooked on previous viewings, I enjoyed Vernon Dent's short role in his debut and him setting the boys up to be in the army was hilarious, I thought Larry's reaction to the Sergeant firing the cannon at the stooges was hilarious!

I give "Half Shot Shooters" an 8/10.

You know, I just rewatched this one.  While I’m not going to call it a classic, I like it better than my original review now.  Yes, it is still sadistic in parts, but the boys still are in fine prime form here, the budget looks good as far as these shorts go - and even the death scene at the end…the boys may have killed countless people themselves.  Sometimes when trying to review these things, I tend to get too serious and not see them for the slice of absurdity they are.  Well, this may be “sometimes.”
