The two indiviuals we are discussing were trained by AQAP in yemen they knew how to shoot . Al-Qaeda fighters are very very good , classes above the taliban and you know for sure when you’re facing Al-Qaeda . they can shoot straight and they stand their ground .

Theres plenty of videos of people hitting running animals feel free to look them up. When people grow up hunting and shooting they get to be pretty damn good shoots by the time they’re old enough to conceal carry.
By the way the most ive ever hunted is a rabbit but i can tell you it gives you an adrenaline rush and can make you shot poorly. So imagine hunting a big game animal that could charge and kill you if you missed. Im sure it would be stressful and you would be pretty pumped yet hunters still manage to hit their targets.
[/quote] you’re spltting hairs here to salvage some sort of argument .
so i will ad my final peice and end it before we go any more into " well this one time at band camp jimmy hit a moving deer at 300 yards with a glock "
in the situation present in the video i would advise not engaging the two gunmen for the following reasons .
to have any chance of being effective , your first round would have to hit its target after that one of two things will happen .
you will then follow up with a burst of shots that empty your weapon in under 3 seconds , in that short amount of time we can safely say that apart from your first round your following ones will be all over the place and most likely hit fuck all , during this time you would of had to expose yourself out of the window .
they would of returned fire and possibly hit you but certainly suppressed you in which time they will move on .
from the footage we see , the people at the window/roof have limited vision of the street and can only clearly see half of the road and the pavement on which the officer was shot , which is why i believe they’re on a roof with a wall going around the parameter .
however they may be crouching in a window .
now the time frame of the two gunmen being in shot and still is very small the rest they’re running in between cars and trees . making you frame for a clear first shot very small and no real time to take a calm aimed shot . therefore the action of attempting to kill them with a pistol is out of the question simply wouldnt happen unless your first round struck them in the head .
what i would personally do if i was armed with a pistol is gather as many people as possible into a single room , lock all the doors and keep away from the windows and block the door as well and use my weapon to guard the people in the room .
i would love to be the hero that runs out and stops it all but in the real world taking on two men who have automatic rifles which are extremely powerful and short-medium range with a pistol is simply stupid and hollywood .
so its a lovely idea but one thats simply out of the question .
Another reason is ., the training i received in room to room clearing when civilians are involved was that we are to engage ALL armed individuals . as their is simply not enough time to pick out the terrorist and the civilians therefore the respectable guess is taken that if they’re armed they are the bad guy and engage them therefore running around shooting or shooting from a building in such situation will likely cause confusion and you to be mistaken for a terrorist
