He's the new Capt. Kirk and won the affection of Diana Prince as the World War I airman and superspy Maj. Steve Trevor in the latest "Wonder Woman" blockbuster. He's pretty funny and the ladies sure dig him.


And turns out he's also a hell of a shot.

Chris Pine is the child of a Hollywood family of actors and filmmakers who really broke out onto the silver screen as the young James T. Kirk in 2009's "Star Trek" prequel. His career has gone ballistic since then, with two more Star Trek movies and a stint as the Tom Clancy hero Jack Ryan.

But in what looks like a part of his preparation for "Wonder Woman," Pine spent some time on the range with legendary 3-gun competitor and tactical trainer to the stars Taran Butler, plinking steel and punching paper like he'd just come off the stealth helo from Abbottabad.

With some ninja help from "Warrior" champ Jessie Graff, Pine double taps his race Glock like he was born to it. We're particularly impressed with his prowess on the dueling tree with his AR — not an easy feat when you're calculating sight over bore under time.

We all loved Keanu Reeves' gunslinging for "John Wick," and likewise here we're prepared to dole out some respect to Capt. Kirk for his display of ballistic badassery.
