In Top Shot season 5, episode 9, titled "Big Boom," the remaining contestants are faced with one of the most explosive challenges of the season. The episode begins with the eight contestants gathered on the range, where they are informed that they will be participating in a team competition involving high-powered explosives.

The teams are divided up into two groups of four, with each team being assigned a specific challenge. The first team must build a series of dynamite bombs and use them to hit a series of targets, while the second team must use C4 explosives to blast their way through a wall and rescue a hostage.

Before the teams can start building their explosives, they must first undergo a safety briefing with explosives expert and guest judge Joey Dillon. Dillon walks them through the basics of handling and setting explosives, emphasizing the importance of safety and caution at all times.

Once the safety briefing is complete, the teams set to work building their explosives. The first team quickly gets to work on their dynamite bombs, with each member taking on a specific role. One member is responsible for mixing the dynamite, while another is responsible for shaping it into the right size and shape. Another member is designated as the trigger man, tasked with setting off the bombs at just the right moment to hit the targets.

The second team faces a different set of challenges, as they must carefully plan and execute a controlled explosion to get through the wall and access the hostage. They spend a great deal of time strategizing and experimenting with different placements of the explosives, trying to find the right combination to secure a successful blast.

After a day of building and strategizing, it's finally time for the teams to put their skills to the test. They gather on the range, with the first team taking aim at their targets while the second team prepares to blast through the wall.

The tension is high as the trigger man sets off the first dynamite bomb, sending it hurdling towards the distant target. There's a deafening blast as the bomb hits its mark, and the judges quickly move on to the next target. The team works quickly and efficiently, using their experience and skill to hit each target with precision.

Meanwhile, the second team is having a bit more trouble with their explosives. Their initial blast doesn't go quite as planned, leaving them scrambling to adjust their strategy and figure out where to place the next set of explosives. The hostage is still trapped behind the wall, and time is running out.

Despite the setbacks, the second team rallies and makes a breakthrough. They're able to find the right placement for the explosives, and the resulting blast is enough to breach the wall and rescue the hostage. There's a sense of relief and jubilation as they successfully complete their mission.

In the end, the judges tally up the scores and declare a winner. It's a close race, with both teams showing impressive skill and determination, but one team ultimately comes out on top. The episode ends with the remaining contestants congratulating each other on a job well done, and looking ahead to the next challenge in the competition.

Overall, "Big Boom" is a thrilling and explosive episode of Top Shot, showcasing the contestants' talent and skill in handling high-powered explosives. It's a true test of their abilities, pushing them to their limits and highlighting the dangers and excitement of working with dynamite and C4.
