How fast can you process information under stress?
Pretty quick, but when your running .2-.3 splits on transitions, things happen quickly. Being a competitive pistol shooter myself, maybe I am seeing different things than others.
At 1:20 in he has already shot both bad guys once. Starting with the top (further away) bad guy but we can’t see everything he can to understand why.
Taken a couple at this point but still clearly has his gun.
Then fall to his knees. I figured at this point he wants a little more of the closer target, the first guy he shot.
And he transitions back to top bad guy, doesn’t look to me like he took a shot though, not sure why (A pillar in sight picture?) but that should give you an idea of how fast
he can make a decision under stress, because that transition and lack of a shot was two and if you blinked, you miss them both.
and he comes back to our sidewalk guy, firing and closing distance.
That’s a lot going on in 2 seconds (mostly 1 second) of video and he made several shoot/no shoot decisions.
Perhaps he was thinking even further ahead and decided that finishing off the sidewalk guy and getting back to cover was a better decision than spending the extra time in the open to recover the dropped firearm.?
Would be neat to know how many of his shots impacted and what percentage of them were in the front vs back.
Current doctrine is to fire until the threat has ended.
Ok, how do we know when that is? It’s obviously subjective. I am not seeing an aggressive move from the guy after he falls to the sidewalk like a sack of potato’s.
