In real life.. It does matter. In a scenario like that how are you going to fire back? Tell people to stop running because I have a gun?
If you can't get a shot off, then you can't get a shot off. You just have to wait. But at least a have a chance. try a little deception, you have the element of surprise as they don't expect anyone to be armed. You have a brain. Its how people have fought against the odds for millennia.
Is more detail really necessary?
What chance? You probably run over by people in panic. Sure you are going to stay there and wait for a clear shot.
If the people were running they would have run over the shooters in the theatre stupid. The normal response for people is to drop to the ground. Before you open your trap I suggest you actually research the subject just a little bit. You have no clue what the hell you're talking about. None.
No dumb shit. They will be running away from the shooter. Not towards the shooter stupid. How many mass shooting you know that they drop to the ground? Cause you are such a tough stupid shit you are going towards the shooter. People did not drop to the ground they ran. The situation was they we're all caught by surprised. The concert situation was standing ovation only 89 people died.
If you want to bring your gun with you go ahead but if you are in front or next to me I will disable with my hand. How am I supposed to know you are a good guy or the bad guy?
Wrong again Tojo. Like I said instead of making a complete ass of yourself....too late, you might want to read up on the subject. If there is a place to run, people will do so. The only place where that is usually possible is OUTSIDE. Inside a building the most common response is to drop to the floor, then look for a place to hide.
Now who's playing the tough guy? If something like this went down, and a person next to you produced a weapon, you would shit yourself and cry for your momma. That's the typical progressive response.
You have not even the slightest concept of psychology, or tactics, so you are merely blowing smoke up your own ass because WE DO!
