Dude gets robbed and pistol whipped.

Dude's friend gets to the seen with a samurai sword and closes fast. All guys get injured; unclear if the intruders shot anyone; one of the intruders gets cut up really badly.

whoever had the gun sucked ass.

Knives

The guy had a samaria sword and 10 inch knives (plural)
with only 2 hands, he must have gone crazy on the suspects. To think that he lived through that is amazing. I guess that's one way to teach burglars to pick better targets.

I read somewhere else that a blade wielding person can close andl strike a gun wielding one from a distance of 20 feet in about a second. Its allmost Kamikaze like odds, but I guess this shows it.

They've done thousands upon thousands of tests, the military FBI CIA etc. that a person with a knife can reach and lethally stab a person with a gun from 21 feet, although now I believe it's 30 feet.

That test is usually accounting for the time it takes the officer to unholster his weapon.

[NYCMonkey]

Of course.

Still, getting a shot off even in that range is not the easiest thing under the a-dump. Added to the fact that police, FBI etc. are trained for this, the average civilian won't even have his firearm ready.

It was just plain surprise and luck.

Luck favors the prepared.

"Better lucky than good."
