Gun Fu

"Gunfighting" the American martial art!

[BB Wolf]

I have been practicing gun-fu since childhood. Hojutsu is a specialty but my skill is limited to close range. 1 meter out to about three hundred meters... For long range expertise talk to Mr. B.

Many professionals fail to train in the art and statistics of documented shootings prove that cops usually miss more than they hit. Only about one in five actually find the mark. This is especially sad when you consider that most encounters are closer than five meters.

So you see, "good" is relative...

Contary to popular belief, being a cop does not automatically make you a "gun guy". There are a whole lot of cops out there who's only time shooting is when they are required to, or to periodically qualify. Some may fire no more than 100 rounds a year or less in a year. That would be the equivilant of hitting a class once or twice a year, to show you still know the basic techniques.

I agree! Not only are far too many Law enforcement officers not well trained (although many departments do a good job) shooters, they have very little training in gunfighting.

Let's not confuse the two. It's one thing to qual’ on a square range on stationary cardboard cutouts and quite a bit different to shoot that same qual' while in the adrenal state with dynamic movement and the targets shooting back.

My Marine friends call them "Spray and Pray" LOL

No joke. We even invented something called a "SAW Grenade". (Last resort only, of course). You stick a Squad Automatic Weapon (light machinegun) in a room full of baddies and wiggle it around in [nearly] all directions.

Luckily, I've never seen it used in real life.

I really should quote myself and note that Marines are highly trained marksmen, and we do put high regard in marskmanship on the battlefield- for reasons to include ammo conservation.

It's just that... well.. Murphy's first rule of combat states that, "If it's stupid, but it works- it isn't stupid." :/

I like this.

It is amazing what ingenuity is born of desperation.
