These videos suggest that most people are extremely unlikely to be able to protect themselves in a shootout situation, even when equipped with a handgun.

Something about these videos bug me, starting with the insinuative title. They didn't say specifically, but it appeared as if none of the people tested actually had a CCW license, aside from perhaps Jason. 5 people were tested, with only 1 person with a notable amount of experience shooting a gun. 3 had little-to-no experience with a *real gun*, 1 having "some experience" (whatever that means). Already this experiment was set up to encourage failure.

Secondly, notice how all the shootouts conveniently occur when the test subjects had helmets on...dafuq?? Or, how about the gunman being *a firearms instructor* of all people...er. How about the test subjects being placed in THE most susceptible part of the room (front row, center...literally). No, this isn't biased at all.

Thirdly, take a close look at the gun-cam footage of the shooter. Despite being in a room full of running people, notice his suspicious inclination to gravitate toward and quickly acquire the specific person being tested. After all, the gunman knew who the test subject was before hand, as well as where he/she was sitting -- I can't help but feel as if those two things somewhat skewed the results, even if unintentionally. A more accurate test would have been keep the shooter in the dark as to who had the pistol, and where that person would be sitting...seeing as a real shooter wouldn't have that information either.

Finally, 2 of the 5 people tested had multiple shooters involved, one even being "hidden in the crowd" not more than a couple seats away from the test subject...a fellow gunman who, without hesitation, aimed and fired directly at the test subject. O..k..., I suppose that could happen, but seems like maybe they are stacking the odds just a tad in their favor?

Never the less, I suppose it just encourages that gun owners should be taking training classes, and keeping their skills sharp with regular practice. But COME ON, what a load of shit!

Однако удивляет, что на 3 метра промахиваются и не пытаются спрятаться от ответного огня.
