Are gun disarms bullshit? |
I have spent the better part of the last week and a half watching every gun disarm that I could find. Whether it's in instructional videos or online. What's fucking funny is that everyone who does a disarm is being attacked in a static manner. Guy stands there like a dolt holding the gun and then reacts after the individual doing the technique takes the gun from him.
Now call me fucking crazy but who attacks in just a static manner? Shit is going to be happening. He will likely be agitated to some degree. Exhibiting violence. The gun will be moving. The attacker may be pushing the gun into you or grabbing at you with his other hand reaching at your pockets. The number one focus is clear the weapon. I will always agree with that. But other instructors never show what happens when you strike the attacker. Once the fight starts the gun is no longer static. There isn't going to be a fucking simple disarm. The attacker is off balance when you strike. Tripping over shit. Trying to defend them self as well.
I really think that the attack the man concept is the way to go. Start driving forward striking someone in the head. See how they react. Kind of hard to shoot when you are busy covering up. Plus you hit someone hard enough who doesn't have a real grip on the gun and you could possibly get an impact disarm.
Just what I have been noticing lately.
