run from a knife: getting cut sucks, and you WILL get cut up-close, so give yourself room. nobody really throws knives, but if they do? now it's YOUR knife!
crowd a gun: you might get shot? but they won't be able to aim, so HOLD. adding more people to that crowd reduces your risk, so bring friends!
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social):
you could use a gun to deal with both of those threats.
momo (theythem) (@cosmomomo.bsky.social):
bringing more guns to a fight does not help anyone if the person holding it is not actively drilling to use it in those very specific situations.
like it isn't close, paper targets don't shoot back.
anyone pulling out a gun in a crowd is gonna be a major threat tbh and should be handled like one.
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social):
lotta words from someone who clearly doesnt shoot but ok lol.
momo (theythem) (@cosmomomo.bsky.social):
not to out myself but i grew up on ranges and shoot well enough to know better so idk
i've talked to /several/ cops who lost partners because they locked up and died squeezing a safety'd trigger. folks get mixed up. shit happens. not everyone can do it, and even fewer can do it in a crowd.
momo (theythem) (@cosmomomo.bsky.social):
like im not saying guns bad, im saying guns bad when the vibe is not shooting bystanders. like cops use hollow points to compensate for shit accuracy, it's a known variable.
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social):
my guy, thats not how fricking hollow points work, hollow points allow you to shoot someone without the round going through them into a bystander or wall behind them like FMJ does. I carry HP ammo in my carry gun because I worry about the safety of other people if I need to shoot.
momo (theythem) (@cosmomomo.bsky.social):
lmao that's what i said stop trying to be mad at me
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social):
you said hollowpoints compensate for shit accuracy, like they are magically more accurate than FMJ, my brother in christ FMJ simply pokes holes in people and will go into people behind your target.
momo (theythem) (@cosmomomo.bsky.social):
NO. so WHEN THEY MISS. to REDUCE HARM.
this is exhausting call me fat or something we both can understand if you're not gonna read me having fun with some bullshit

you shouldn't miss, if you do that's a failing of training and a skill issue.

you've never shot under duress, have you? amped up and terrified because someone is shooting at you? andrenaline pumping, your breath ragged, heart pounding in your ears and shaking hands? expecting anyone to be accurate with lots of screaming and running people all around is ludicrous

thats why we use shot timers baybee,10 rounds, 10 yards, 10 seconds for a benchmark drill called the test, I did this one a bit fast but got all 10 shots onto the target. if you time yourself you can shoot under duress just fine, especially if you run shooting drills.

none of that handles the chaos of a shooting event. being able to shoot at a paper target on an empty range doesn't simulate people literally running in front of you while you are trying to shoot someone else. shooting in a crowded area should always be the last choice
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social): blocked by replier
there are drills and classes for such things. there are no shoot and no flag targets on IPSC and IDPA stages too.
Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net): blocked by replier
none of which properly simulate shit. i've done them all and been in combat. you can not simulate what it's like being shot at. no matter how hard you try.
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social): blocked by replier
civilian combat shooting is different than being in a combined arms force with 30 other people going room to room, the gun is your get you outta dodge card. plus most soldiers only know the bare minimum so they can be cannon fodder.
Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net): blocked by replier
you have a lot of wrong ideas about guns. you're almost as damgerous to bystanders as the active shooter.
Lum with the CAR15 (@lumcar15.bsky.social): blocked by replier
lemme guess you qualled expert too? lmao
Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):
nope, pizza box. but i knew and respected the weapon enough to understand that it's always dangerous to fire into a crowd. even for the experts.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Someone blocked someone. You are 100% right. The best laid plans and combat training of mice and men, etc. the best tactic is to have an earthen berm between you and the baddies
