Need stats

[Lupinus]

I tried looking but can't find it, the right search stuff probably just isn't coming to mind.

I am looking for two things

first is the stats on your likelihood to survive an encounter while being armed and not being armed

And also if I remember correctly a few months back a poster posted a video link to a defense against gun technique, basically the one with the gun pointed at your chest and demonstrating how to defend against it.

Any help would be most appreciated

Try this Guncite page for the first.

Also, keep in mind many encounters are survived by armed good guys and never reported, therefore no part of the stats. E.G.: story here re GG gassing up, 3 or 4 BG's closing when his jacket blew back exposing handgun. BG's suddenly found something more interesting to do.

Stay safe.

I haven't seen any stats on survival, but there are some stats that show your likelihood of being injured based on how you respond.
