It doesn't take much to pop a balloon, and he actually says that it was fragments that did the job (see comment below the video).

There's many ways to "prove" impossible things in a video. For example: The split screen videos could just as well be one of him at the 1000 yard line, combined with a target video of a 10 yard shot. He's a damn good shot though, and I don't think that he would stoop that low.
