That shows another phenomenon. Untrained people will often not shoot thru objects that are only cover, trying instead to shoot around the object or only shooting at the visible portion of the target.Paladin wrote:Looking at how it went down, the BG never really had a clear shot. The clerk moved behind cover quickly. There was always stuff in his way... plus for a while he was climbing on his hands and knees on top of the counter... and couldn't get a shot off.
At first I was thinking that the counter/stuff on the counter wouldn't be much cover, but as it is a liquor store, the booze does offer some protection
His reaction when meet with immediate and severe resistance to his attempted use of force is pretty typical too. These criminals expect people to be scared and comply. One thing I love about Krav Maga is the immediate and devestating response to being assaulted.
Great thread.
