Never watched Quincey, huh? Dead men tell all kinds of tales, but few lies.

I would suggest anyone with questions about shooting people in the back should do some research. The Force Science Institute in Minneapolis has done some very interesting time-motion studies on things like this. One study showed that a person can be facing you and start to turn as you decide to shoot. Before you could recognize the change and decide to not shoot, the person would have their back to you and you would be shooting them in the back. They have some other studies on what a person can do in a shooting that are also very thought provoking.
