dayanx 1 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 what's the source on that 1911? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Various articles cherry picked on the web. I believe them to be accurate but that may just be my naivety. Did something seem amiss, or are you just doing your due diligence? 1911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayanx 1 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 well one of your stats had FBI as a source, I was just being anal. I tend to play the skeptic until I see something cold. Not that I don't believe you- just curious Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccumber1916 1 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 false cover should include car doors... as we learned from box of truth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsen 86 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 false cover should include car doors...as we learned from box of truth Anybody that has ever worked on a car and fired a gun knows that almost nothing in a car is going to stop a bullet. The engine bay has a bunch of stuff that will, and brake and suspension parts will, but that's pretty much it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hkusp45 8 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 These were given to me by a PD shooting instructor, it's funny but true. Rules for Gunfighting: 1. Bring a gun. Preferably at least two guns. Bring all your friends who have guns. 2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive. 3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly. 5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (lateral and diagonal movement are preferred) 6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun, and a friend with a long gun. 7. In 10 years nobody will remember the details of the caliber, stance or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 8. If you are not shooting, you should be communication, reloading, and running. 9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on the "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. 9 .5. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." 10. Someday someone may kill you with your gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty. 11. Always cheat: Always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. 12. Have a plan. 13. Have a back up plan because the first one won't work. 14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be in FRONT on your gun. 15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours. 16. Don't drop your guard. 17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. 18. Watch their hands. Hands kill (in God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them) 19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. 20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get. 21. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill ever yone you meet. 22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 23. Your number one option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. 24. Do not atend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
