I have to say, this was quite a post.
These folks you question have all had many hundreds, if not thousands of hours of training to clear rooms, hunt for threats, and identify bad guys in split seconds. They are the ones who went into the life or death situations.
Their level of situational awareness is pretty high considering you live it for many years, it just becomes a part of your world. Could they get sucker punched? Yes…but not nearly as easily as most folks…and chances are they already identified the person as a
potential threat before any action took place.
They are also way more skilled in weapons handling, manipulation, and marksmanship than 95% of the planet. They have been “on the two way range”
and lived to tell the tales, so they have real world experience. They have also participated in many after action briefs where shooting and missions were debriefed to identify mistakes made and lessons to learn from.
these guys train the folks who go carry guns to protect us, as well as the citizens who participate in their own protection.
You act as if they are 20 something air soft internet warriors…
You are showing much ignorance in your post.
