So how much faster would a human have to be to win every time?

>From Wikipedia, the average human reaction time is around 0.2 to 0.25
seconds, which is too slow for it not to be noticed that you were
reacting to your opponent.

Reading about the fast draw competitors, the reaction times of the
best fast draw shooters is 0.145 seconds and they regularly draw and
fire  in less than half a second.
Watching the video of the world champion, you can't even see what he
does! He seems to just stand there, then a puff of smoke appears
beside the holstered gun.
