May is the excellent soldier here. In the Winter Olympics episode he scored more points than Clarkson using a air rifle. His throwing skills are excellent, stones and dildos speaking. In the Jordan episode, he's an good sniper. And in Hammond's bug out zombie vehicle portion, May's superb sniping skills are at play. This comes not as an surprise since he won the Victoria Cross alongside the Duke of Hammond for successfully defeating Reichsmarschall von Clarkson during the North Africa campaign.
And in the Africa special he chose an itchy blanket to sleep on and an explorer's cabin. He's capable of enduring great hardship and will always find his target.
*in an alternate timeline* "After finishing 2nd in the driver standings 7 times losing the title on the last race every time, Nigel Mansell comes around the final corners too become the 1997 World Champion!" but, then 0:49 happens, while he is on his way too the finish line and Villeneuve drives past him too take the checkered flag
