After watching a video of some of the swarming attacks on lone individuals by multiple attackers closing quickly and repeatedly punching and clubbing, my first thought was a gun would not be my first choice of weapon. A very sharp knife or pepper spray might be better to deal with multiple contact distance attackers. ( A Wakizashi or big bowie would be #1 but probably not legal anywhere.) No need to worry about bystanders, anybody within arms reach is a combatant, and slashing anybody within reach would dissuade them from closing , perhaps long enough to draw a firearm. The last thing they are expecting is a berzerker running amok with a blade.
Of course ,ideally, ones situational awareness would preclude being there in the first place , but these attacks seem to be initiated by one person sort of wandering up and striking without warning, and then the rest of the thugs converging to reinforce the attack.
Any thoughts?
