One of the scouts who had 105 on his gun took the batteries out and rebooted...and got 105 again.

I'm not saying its impossible, just that I have an incredibly hard time believing it.  The amount of force that is required for the arm to generate those types of speeds on a pitch is just too much for the body to handle (it would have to be in excess of 80 Newton-Meters which is the limit for the normal human arm).  Hell, I'm willing to admit he could be a freak of nature and he may somehow be an exception to the rule, but label me a skeptic at this point.
