Speaking from experience, we also tend to underestimate the adrenaline dump and it's affect when one takes sight on another human being and takes up the slack in the trigger. I'm talking shaky for the next 6-8 hours. Holding steady, even at point blank range becomes far more difficult than most would imagine.Ruark wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 12:50 pm This supports what I've always presumed, as well. I've never been in a gunfight, so I'm not speaking from experience, but it is clear, very clear, than most armchair combatants severely underestimate the level of stress they'll experience when they see an attacker's muzzle pointed at them and a finger starting to squeeze the trigger.
I thank God every day that my attacker found something far more interesting before I broke that shot.
