As soon as you cross the big cap where the asteroids are coming at you, have the door close and save right before you get on the gun. If you don't save and go below 50% shield strength on the gun you will not get the achievement. I got this achievement with 77 shield remaming. What you need to do is focus on the big rocks and the really fast ones. Fire both guns at the same time - it will kill the big rocks a lot faster. Remember that the sequence isn't scripted so it will be different every time. It took me about 3-4 times and I finally got an easy sequence. If it goes to 49, quit out and load again and you will be right next to the gun for another try. Happy rock shooting!
From: Sgt Dex Grif: "This is the segment on chapter 4 where you have to shoot down the asteroids before they hit the ship and it's pretty difficult. Remember you have two guns, and you can hold down both triggers, but the guns will overheat. Try to only concentrate on the ones headed straight for you and the huge ones that split. I noticed that some of the asteroids will fly off screen and won't damage you. Keep an eye out for them."

Missable! This is one of the harder trophies in the game. On Chapter 4 you must take the seat of the ADS canon and project the Ishimura from damage. You have two cannons you can shoot, left cannon and right cannon . Just try to be as quick as possible shooting each asteroid, don’t worry about the asteroids that are on near the edge of the screen as those won’t hit the ship. There is a save station right before you enter the ADS Canon so if you fall below 50% Shield, reload that save and try again.
Tips:
Some people do better when they only use one cannon.
Always shoot the big asteroids first.
Alternate between cannons when faced with many asteroids.
Ignore asteroids that are far off towards the edge of the screen as those won't hit the ship.
Turn the brightness up a LOT as this will help you spot asteroids quickly.
Try to keep the cannons in the center of the screen as much as possible.

I don’t agree that the trophy is easy to get at the easy level. Since the trophy is one of the most difficult in the game, many people have problems getting it on easy. Here are a couple of tips. Start playing, losing, do not load the save immediately, your task will be to get used to the movement of the gun and fire. Use only 1 cannon on the right, since firing one at a time will only knock you down and you will quickly overheat the weapon. Next, I would sit as close to the TV as possible, this will help to see the meteorites at the very beginning of their appearance and, accordingly, shoot them down from afar. It’s true that you should shoot mainly at the center, but you shouldn’t forget about the side meteorites either. By ignoring them, you will pass the test, only the shield level will be clearly below 50. And lastly, do not forget that after the meteorite disappears from the screen, it does not immediately enter the body and the cannon can reach it. A few of these interceptions and you can get the hang of it. The main thing is to sit down and get used to the weapon. On the 7th attempt I unlocked the trophy, and on the 9th attempt I repeated this achievement with more than 70%, so everything is in your hands.

Using two guns simultaneously to destroy large and fast-moving objects is mandatory! (the main thing is to shoot in bursts, this way the car does not overheat), all other objects can be shot with one gun (it’s actually more convenient with the right gun - ).
at the average level it met exactly 50%, despite the fact that a female voice said, “attention! the protection level is below 50% percent!”
I was also greatly helped by the tips from forum participants in discussing this trophy.
To be honest, the trophy is not that difficult. I passed the fifth time on easy. As they wrote, sit closer and try to miss less meteorites, and also use one cannon.

The hint above is good, but in fact, do not touch meteorites that fly very sideways at all. They remove a micron and distract from meteorites, which actually remove a decent amount of the shield. Hit the center. As soon as I did this I passed 54 the first time.

Shoot mostly with one gun (right or left), and only use two in sweaty situations with huge rocks. Sit closer to the TV. Concentrate, I personally turned off all the music and voice in the game, and turned on the music from Hotline Miami (it helps me), and on the 6th attempt I passed 71% (before that it was 49% max).

Got it the first time using the mouse. Before this, I doubled on the joypad for 3 days, but it didn’t work.

I’ll add one more thing, because... I didn’t see this anywhere, if anyone is interested in time, it’s 2 minutes, that is, you need to hold out for exactly 2 minutes. The tips above helped me, namely: 1. Yes, you really need to sit as close to the TV as possible, since the stones will be better visible.
2. Like me, you can turn on the stopwatch and keep track of the time
3. It’s true that you may not succeed on the first try, you need to practice several times, once you get used to it it will be easier, I passed on the 5th or 6th attempt, personally I have 63% health left

In addition to all the tips above, I’ll add one more, which concerns the very start of shooting: As soon as Isaac sits down at the guns, fire a couple of shots in the center of the screen. The fact is that when flying near asteroids, shots lighten them up slightly (you will see a bluish flicker of the meteorite). This way, you can immediately see in which part of the screen the meteorites are coming and shoot them in advance. This kind of “illumination” should be used at any moment of calm and then you can calmly shoot most of the meteorites in advance, with minimal movements of the stick. And of course, the brightness is higher, closer to the screen)

The trophy is the same on any difficulty (it’s very difficult to get), so don’t bother - get it on the difficulty you’re playing on and reached this point, you won’t get any benefits by playing on easy or hard. Be sure to sign up (fortunately, the sign-up location is right there in the room). And so, now about how fragments behave and how to shoot. You need to shoot with one gun (left or right, as you prefer, usually the right one is more convenient). Shoot with a cutoff (you will get a burst of 4-6 shots), this way you will avoid overheating. The most important thing is to prevent passage in the center and slightly to the sides (such hits take up a lot), so concentrate on the center and clusters of steroids, do not linger on one fragment and under no circumstances deviate the gun too much to the sides. The fragments are divided into three types based on damage (I could be wrong and these are approximate observations). The first ones are the most powerful, going in the center at the top or bottom of the screen. the latter deviate slightly to the right and left, removing from a couple of percent to ten (depending on the size). And the third ones do not cause damage, or at most a percentage, go very far to the side and mainly distract from the really dangerous ones. The first two categories include high-speed and multiple (of which the most dangerous is multiple, but not the big one, but the smaller one - it looks almost like an ordinary one, a little triangular, though).

1. I agree with everyone who said that it is easier to get this trophy on the Unreal difficulty level (on Easy 48 attempts in 2 days - to no avail, 4 attempts on Unreal - my trophy )
2. The advice to sit close to the TV really helped a lot .
3. My personal advice is to adjust the TV image to get this particular trophy . (my settings: brightness 75%, contrast - 80%, saturation - 85%, sharpness - maximum. Although each TV has its own characteristics).
ps there are 8 chapters left to complete on Unreal.

The most difficult trophy so far. I managed to knock him out on the highest difficulty level. It didn’t work at all on the easy one. Even approximately. I suffered many times. On the unreal, about 4 times. Turned off the console. Then I turned it on and it passed the first time. The percentage of shield protection is also very distracting. Try not to pay attention to him , but simply knock down the stones. I also used tips to sit closer to the TV and shoot them down when they were far away. The result was 53%.
