Shoot n’ Scoot

Posted on 13 April 20233 September 2025 by The Tactical Hermit

Lessons:

Windows and Doors “Frame” you as a target, AVOID standing in them.
If you must shoot out of a window or door, lower your profile.
OODA Loop 101: Never Stay in one place too long in a gunfight; ‘Shoot and Scoot’ or ‘Get off the X’ and force your enemy to re-calibrate.
Success in a gunfight is measured in 1/8 of an inch and 3/10’s of a second. Learn to be fast and COMBAT accurate.
Urban Combat is a nasty game of geometry, Always be aware of angles.
The two most important rules in a gunfight are: Always cheat and Always win.
If you’re not shootin’, you should be loadin’. If you’re not loadin, you should be movin’, if you’re not movin’, someone’s gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick.
