http:\/\/www.liveleak.com\/view?i=347_1333565286<\/a><\/p>\nSome things to Note: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n(Since there is no audio, I am guessing from body language on some parts)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- As soon as cop sees the gun, he gets off the X (line of attack)\u00a0and at same time\u00a0starts accessing weapon on his strong side (The cop is a southpaw, so he draws with left hand).\u00a0Stepping back while drawing\u00a0gains a key component in a gunfight: DISTANCE<\/strong>..keeping the\u00a0perp at\u00a0arms reach distance ensures retention of weapon and give\u00a0cop time to react<\/li>\n
- Since perps attention is elsewhere, the Cop\u00a0WAITS until he has a good shot (sight picture)\u00a0which includes making sure the bystander in the green shirt is clear..This tell’s me this cop has been in a scrap or two!\u00a0It was not until the perp squared up to the cop that he made the shot…this explemifies DISCRETIONARY SHOOTING. <\/strong><\/li>\n
- <\/strong>Using the “What If he had done this…”<\/em> If the perp had been paying more attention to the cop\u00a0and centered in on the cop’s\u00a0gun, we would have seen a much different scenario unfold, the cop would not have had the luxury of time in\u00a0waiting for the perp to turn and be able to access his gun\u00a0sights..the cop\u00a0would have been moving and shooting, not seeing his sights the same as he did in the vid…the Gun Sight “Continuum”<\/strong> in action. When do we use our pistol sights? When we have too (distance)\u00a0and when we can (time).<\/li>\n
- Cop fires one time, center of mass and closes distance to disarm.\n
The\u00a0Cop followed the perp with his pistol to the ground, and kept the pistol body indexed and ready for a follow up shot..this is
FOLLOW THRU. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n- I did not see an exit wound, which I can only guess is because\u00a0perp was shot with hollow point ammunition..we will go deep into this subject next month.<\/li>\n
- At the end of the vid, you can see the perp’s chest rise and fall rapidly as his lungs fill with blood..he dies a short time later. This is the reality of combat. People just dont die from\u00a0“a gunshot wound” they die when you pierce an organ or artery with a bullet\u00a0and they bleed out or their lungs fill with blood and they drown first.<\/li>\n
- The distance of this shoot was around 6-7 feet..that is FEET<\/strong> guys, not YARDS<\/strong>. This goes right along statistically with the distance most handgun engagements happen. The devastating power of a handgun round at this distance is clearly seen.<\/li>\n

The cop\u00a0
SCANS<\/strong> left when new person approaches…which is so key. \u00a0Scan on new movement and be\u00a0AWARE<\/strong> of surroundings!<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n
I think these types of vids put the caliber debates to rest..when somebody shoots you in the chest at 6 ft with good defense ammo..you are as good as done.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

So, using logic,\u00a0
Shot placement<\/strong> and Distance<\/strong> are often the two determining factors\u00a0to surviving a gunfight. If you can move off the line of attack (gain distance) and move\u00a0quickly to cover (Cover is something that will STOP a bullet), your chances of getting hit decrease dramatically.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThere is alot we can learn from this one minute of video..some things we have already discussed and some things we are yet to discuss. Learn from them..Question them..Ask yourself, “Would I be ready to do the same thing if this happened to me??” <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nIn\u00a0 upcoming articles, we will be reverse engineering everyday\u00a0shooting scenario vids\u00a0(like these) and break them down to the molecule, so we can learn as much as humanly possible from the mistakes made and the wisdom shown.<\/p>\n
