When faced with any sort of violence, those are your best options, in order.
RUN, if you can.
HIDE, if you can.
FIGHT, if you have to.
Guns aren't magic aim-botted kill machines. Plus, these assholes are scared and shaking, not exactly Navy SEALs. So yeah, running is indeed an option, especially if you jack rabbit. Engaging a moving target is far harder than punching holes in paper.
Advice from a military veteran, you can run in a straight line to safety and be fine. Real life guns are not as accurate at video game guns. Ran as fast to safety as you can.
I have to disagree. At reasonable distances, guns feel even more accurate in real life than video games for me.
It's almost unnatural how effective they are at hitting their targets. I was hitting things without even realizing it until I went to check the damage.
Range targets are not moving people.
Life is not a gun range.
Yeah, but that applies to video games as well as the real world.
Exactly, range practice has more in common with video games than real life.
But you think plinking at a range gives you insight to actual running and gunning.
No, you're just making up things because... well I don't know why lol. Prolly reddit-brained or something.
I'm talking about the accuracy of the machines themselves. They are very accurate, or at least the ones I've used.
Maybe he's born with it
Maybe it's Maybelline
You don’t have to be faster than the bullet, you just have to be faster than your friends.
So don’t hang out with the track team. Hang out with the AV Club.
My friends think I'm so generous with the lavish feasts all the time. Little do they know.
Rule #1: Cardio.
A moving target drops your chances of being hit by 90%.
1 in 10 shots hit a moving target, in general.
So that's why the cops don't like it when we run
I'd love to see the data under the hood on that.
Does that apply to military scenarios? Does it distinguish indoors vs outdoors? Pistol vs. Rifle vs. Magazine size?
As someone who is not afraid of guns and owns and uses guns a moving target is just literally harder to hit.
Analogy would be a car it's easier to drive a car while stationary it's hard to drive a car on the freeway with other moving cars.
"According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), there were 216,366 traffic accidents in the state in 2022, which resulted in 3,854 fatalities and 165,978 injuries"
And people in cars are not trying to hurt anyone. 🤣
