You've no doubt seen a Captain America movie by now, and if Marvel's latest promotional campaign has been successful you'll probably be planning to see Civil War.

In the movies Cap can use his shield to do just about anything, but Jerry Miculek, a.k.a. "The Greatest Shooter of All Time," tested real ammo on a near-perfect replica of Captain America's iconic shield.

Since Vibranium is a fictional metal in the Marvel universe, the shield was made out of solid titanium, Comic Book reported. Aside from that, the shield is properly sized and was made to the proper weight of 12 pounds.

Captain America: Civil War lands in cinemas on April 29th.
