Knife vs Handgun - A Reality Check

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The ultimate question: what distance should you keep when dealing with an attacker armed with a knife? We tested this with two spec ops veterans, a REX Zero 1 FX handgun and a dummy knife. See the results for yourself.

This is interesting but in some of the “attack evaded” scenarios it is likely/possible that the attacker wouldn’t immediately succumb to their wounds and could still attack with lethal force.
True but it's a lot easier to shoot multiple times than stab multiple times. Even if he isn't shocked but getting two bullets in his chest. How many times can you shoot him in one stab? Thee, four times? And that's the importance of the Mozambique drill. Chest chest head.
@@megawolfr1986 should be noted, the first knife attack wasn’t a stab but a slash to your jugular, also while its common practice to present your firearm with two hands, center forward- the knife attacker (if equally practiced) still has a non occupied hand.
In reality, the only true takeaway from this demonstration is if you’re only carrying a gun then keep a safe distance in accordance to draw and present with enough time.
Might as well carry both, knife for CQC. A concealed carry for other situations.
@@megawolfr1986 if you wouldnt headshot and close the lights for the attacker he can keep attacking and stabbing until his general body blood levels goes under %50 so if you shoot maybe 14 times and when your magazine is empty he can still breathe and still can attack yeah maybe hes gonna dead after attack but he still do bad things for you
@@maxillwexo9594 people don't tend to keep going when there are 9mm holes in their heart, and generally don't feel so good when their lungs collapse.
Besides a meth-uped junkie you are better off hitting the chest first. But sure, hit that noggin if you can.
@@maxillwexo9594 bro, Blood pressure goes down fast when the hit is on the chest, 4 or 3 bullets will blackout the guy
Pro tip from my boxing coach, LATERAL movement. Side stepping and pivots will beat backing up in a straight line. 👍🏻 stay safe.
Yep! You never see a crab run backwards.
100% true
Not really, as a backward still will give you distance from any punch or grab and if your attacker keeps coming forward he will then walk straight into your punch or elbow
You need to have a super knock out punch and speed to survive. 3 punch vs 1 stab, you die or knock him out early.
@@ianmaddocks3551 No you’re right. What would a professional boxer and coach know about controlling distance or landing punches?
The last part also demonstrates how panic causes your handgun draw to be more clumsy. And that part is realistic because when you see death coming at you and your hands are shaking, something as simple as drawing a handgun can become difficult to do correctly.
Keep in mind that the defenders reaction time was faster cuz he was expecting the stab.
And keep in mind that it was up to 2 seconds slower due to him having to chamber a round every time
@@dearjohn8789 And his jacket was getting in the way as he was reaching for his gun.
Well irl if a dude is going to stab you realize that the dude is really sketchy and be on your guard and he'll probably yell/insult you before hand
This situation is extremely unrealistic unless your going into a situation in which the person is already planning to kill you with the knife. Which in almost never the case in everyday situations such as robberies and other violent crimes. Almost everyone who carries a knife carries some type of knife that is not an open blade knife like the one used in the simulation so it would take a lot longer for the person to pull out the knife if they had it stowed away. OR more likely have it counselled in a jacket sleeve and will only branish it when they are close enough to you to be threatening and they will give a demand not just stab you. The only situation I can see this being valuable is your in a gang or something where you messed with the wrong person and now you have a hit out on you but even then you should be aware someone is coming after you. Also the defender did not once lift up his arm to defend himself from the knife attack he held his arm close to his head and let the knife slip in and cut him in the throat every time.
@@marclucido5721 also you don't have to fully extend your a gun in this situation shooting from the hip like a cowboy would work wonders
Good video showing how dangerous melee weapons can be, even in a gun environment. Imagine the following factors;
1. Having to rack the slide!
2. Not being prepared for an attack.
3. The pressure of a real-life scenario.
4. Not dropping an attacker with one shot, because of, for example, adrenaline or drugs.
Very nice video!
You should be carrying your pistol with one in the chamber. Racking the slide shouldn't even be a factor, or is that your point?
Not carrying one in the chamber is a death sentence. That's why you have guns with multiple safety mechanisms
You should never have to rack the slide.
#4: Drugs? Why are drugs even mentioned here? What drugs and why? If you are using any drugs that would effect motor reflexes, cognitive thought processes or anything else along such lines you shouldn't even have a gun on your person. That's just plain stupid.
@@christopherjakel1049 They meant the knife attacker on drugs that would make them not drop in one shot. You see it in police shooting all the time.
Before: Never bring a knife to a gunfight
After: Never bring a knife to a tueller-range gunfight
what about a ninja star?
@@gameman2936 or maybe a throwing knife to close the distance
Yeah.. there is a difference when you already have a gun in your hand :D
@@gameman2936 ninja stars are really terrible weapons unless they hit just right. But you’re probably joking.
@@senormonke4579 nope coat them with assorted spider venoms since you can make almost all of them lethal with just what you find in the garden, tag run and wait. You want it not to stick so you can pick it up while he's going through dimentia and horrible hallucinations a few stumbled blocks out incoherently searching for you cuz he ran with it in his system EDIT: it's something police will not tell you, but if you die to an envenomed ninja star cut and they can't find the star cuz dude just kept and washed it, he will not be arrested whether or not they close that case it'll be whoever dude beefed with last they grill over it. Also no cutesy designs, normal shuriken quad stars harder to figure out who bought some where if you're serious. #wayoftheninja
There is one thing to keep in mind: None of the knife attacks are instantly incapacitating. There is a good chance both parties will be badly injured in the close range knife attacks. The types of hits the knife wielder landed at all but the closest distance were flesh wounds, no artery hits.
Gunshots that do not directly hit his central nervous system or upper spinal cord also wont be instantly incapacitating if the knife wielder was full of adrenaline knowing he may get shot.
@@Frenchfrys17 100% agreed. Also the gunman is at a big disadvantage mechanically because the muzzle can easily be deflected and not do any harm after that point, or for automatics the firearm can jam up on clothing and only be good for a shot or two. The thing going for the gunman is increased chances of incapacitation, as basically any common firearm has a chance to harm the central nervous system, while it is surprisingly difficult to do so with a knife.
Try this with a sword, it’s a stopper.
If. A dude thats. A skilled killer with a knife gets close enough to a guy with a gun. The knife guy wins.
You still got pull the trigger
A knife hits you or slashes you just fast enough to feel it while MOST bullets hit so fast that your body's slow response system and amped up adrenaline make it feel like a surreal thing that's just happening to your body. MEANWHILE, a knife jab or slash is much slower than a speeding bullet and hurts like hell bc your response system can actually register the pain in real time😒
3:57 We call this evasive maneuver the *prancing sissy foot technique*
It probably hurts to get shot with that. I would flinch too.
Lol if that's like the training guns that they use in the military that would really hurt. It's like a paint ball but with gun powder. They leave nasty welts. Though I bet he has a vest on underneath so it doesn't hurt as much
@@natea5318 he padded under his cloths
Do you want to get shot by that?
Anyone who gives law enforcement a hard time for using deadly force needs to see this. You never know what the suspect is thinking and this shows how quickly things can go bad.
the majority of "law enforcement" escalate situations by being assholes. Even Memphis Tennessee Police Departments have changed the way they interact with the community because of the negative policing.
ua-cam.com/video/y99kODtyVhk/v-deo.html
Anyone who gives PEOPLE a hard time about self defense needs to see this. More innocent people get locked up for defending themselves than cops get injured. Let's focus on the real issues please.
“bit of advice try using knifes next time. Works better for close encounters”
Leon Scott Kennedy
Resident Evil 4, best game.
That is why there is a 21 foot rule. Always keep a person with a knife or any other object 21 feet away from you because they can reach you before you can take them down due to adrenaline.
Alex. The 21 foot rule doesn't exist it was a bastardization of the original study of Leo draw time on a suspect with a knife it was never intended to be a default rule
ghost solider never knew that. But I would assume that this would still have some merit considering the assailant in the video got pretty close to the gunman at 21 feet.
ghost solider a rule... of thumb 😬
jsquared1013. Yes I forgot to add "of thumb " part
Alex. It all depends on skill level of the individual
Interesting. Good to know. Just shows that rigorous testing eliminates estimation errors. Great work.
I'd like to see the up close test with the gun being drawn first. Seems like up close, who ever acts first will win. At a distance, gun wins if you can draw it quickly.
Awesome video! Keep training guys! Shooters get faster on that draw, Escrima/knife fighters get faster, be more bold! Pro-tip: Don't be afraid of trying to smack that gun away with your knife if you can. That way you might disable his hand, dodge a bullet and give yourself another opportunity for a strike. Shooters: Don't be afraid to shoot right from the hip after a draw if the knife fighter is approaching too fast. At such a close distance you can be just as accurate especially with practice.
I love the way he sprints - he´s getting really good traction.
This was very educational !
Key point: KEEP A DISTANCE! ;)
Me: (Walks into a gun store)
Clerk: how can I help you?
Me: I'd like to trade in my Sig p226 for the most tactical knife you got and maybe get some cash Back?
Clerk: sure but Why?
Me: because I saw a video of a guy get defeated by a knife when he had a gun... lol
😂
I'd like to see the first test done again with variances on hand to hand combat. 6 for someone unknowledgeable, 6 for someone with minor knowledge (maybe a boxing class or a few months of karate), and then 6 with a black belt of any martial art (told to use pistol to see their reaction, not to actually react using their martial art).
Another variance for testing would be direction of movement away from X.
Moving laterally may show better results as it doesn't allow the attacker to lunge forward directly, gives the defender an element of surprise, and in total may chance results of even the 1m, though I doubt it
7m test: attacker should be instructed to follow through, meaning not to slow down because he doesn't want to tackle the defender. Set up mats for it for safety, you'll see a lot more failures.
There are several key factors to this most of the time someone armed with a gun would win. There are key factors in which someone with a knife would in a fight which are distance, speed, length of blade, and the instant fatality of a stab or a slash which that case sharpness and penetration would to be considered. Just because someone is stabbed or slashed doesn't mean they die instantly rather they may bleed out, so a duel may very well end in a draw.
My thing is, if a dude pulls out a knife that close. Im not just gonna go for my gun. In gonna protect myself from the initial attack, get moving in a lateral movement while going for my pistol.
or just run away
Problem with some the later video clips is a knife fighter has to remember that his weapon should NEVER be brandished.
The knife fighter has to get in contact range with their target.
The rule is a “knife should be felt not seen!”
All rules you won't see a regular crackhead mugger use.
Needs bonus scenario for "Tueller" range where the attacker will zig-zag towards the defender.
At very close range the best way to avoid a knife attack is fall to your back while drawing your sidearm. You’ve immediately created enough distance to incapacitate your attacker.
and use legs to kick bro...one good kick could send the unsuspecting knife weilder to his back buying you more than enough to run away or finish off
“Evaded” is a strong word.
Dudes still getting stabbed at that point, but the other gut is also getting shot.
the only issue with the added range is if you don't hit a vital and/or the guy is hopped up on drugs and doesn't feel the shot. BUT this is extremely good education to keep in mind when dealing with such attacks. while you shouldn't be paranoid it's a good idea to have a cut resistant vest to buy a few extra precious moments in the unlikely event it does occur!
Very cool demonstration! I am not a expert, buti think, gunfighter stands in short distance maybe he can try to dodge, or kick or something and then starts shooting. I watch that trick in some another channel. I don' t will it work in real situation but it sounds and look reasonable. Thank you for great content!
Excellent demonstration of the Tueller 21 foot rule. My only improvement would be to use your free hand to grab and jam the shooters draw as you land a fatal neck slash a straight stab to the upper face or a heart stab if clear. A Bondo Blackbelt friend of mine came back from Tennessee and showed me how lethal and fast a knife can be. Hacked me to shreds [with a training knife] attempting disarm techniques. Also killed using a ballbat or short stick. Also went knife to knife and whoever made the first mistake usually died, Also if you know you are not going to get there, throw the knife at the face. It will buy you a second to engage and try and get control of the gun. I carry both but at close range 18ft or less the coldsteel 6 in folder will always be deployed first followed by the gun.
Good evidence for training in open-handed fighting even when we carry.
UF Pro true combatants know no matter what firearm, cold weapon, or bare handed we are not going to just stand there and wait for the attack.
Once an aggression is initiated at the smallest movement we the defender would step back and to the side to give more reaction room to defend or counter attack.
This being said I love your vids especially the combat medic and K9 scenarios. Thank you and I'm a fan of tour tacticle apparel. Top shelf items.
I'm being honest, if you practice martial arts you can fight off an unarmed person, but if they have a knife, it's more likely you will die trying to defend yourself. That's why if you want defense agains't someone with a weapon, it's better if you bring a weapon.
The one movement that TOTALLY changes this variable is to side step. NEVER run backwards under duress, you will trip and fall. Side step out of the path of the attack. I learned this in real life as a police officer in Atlanta. It saved my life may save yours.
what if he stepped back?
most of the time you don't even know it is coming, if you are suprised by a knife being pulled out panic might kick in and you may drop your gun
Many times a knife attacker will continue even after multiple shots are fired.
Looks like the best solution it's disarm enemy using both hands before it takes the
gun, and when just after dominates him (on the ground or not).
video: two spec ops veteran
s
veteran: can't even pull out his gun. lmao
Situational awareness. Psychological sensitivity. It's really a chess game that plays out before either side fully knows it or, more often, you know it. Your ability to read someone's character, in any scenario, violent confrontation or simply workplace, will decide your advantage in being able to handle the situation. Self defense is preliminary as much as active. The more information you can take in, the better. The more quickly you can process that information, the better. Observe. Orientate. Decide. Act. Over and over. A confrontation this close can be decided by paying attention before it has taken place. Training. Training. Training.
Just my thoughts.
Why would the threatened person be sitting there with their arms crossed? They should have their hand close to their gun. Not in a draw stance, but close to the gun itself. Maybe resting on the belt or something.
Your fighting your jacket to unholster the gun, bring your jacket up over the top of the gun to the other side of the holster and will help in unholstering the firearm a little quicker
I think the defender's flaw was that he was too focused in drawing the gun instead of blocking the knife
thats why its best practice that you always hold your gun in your holster while apprehending suspicious person, sorry for my english
CIA said at close range , knife has odds of winning..... 15 ft..... might have acouple new holes.... But hopefully with adrenaline pumping you could have some company in the morgue....
i have to say while this is right. It's only showing the shooter attempting to go for his gun. while the best action would be to get hands on the knife guy either by grabing his arm he's reaching for the knife or straight up fighting him for then knife then work towards your pistol
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
Don't bring a gun to a knife fight.
So many of these I can see the dude with the gun still getting off a round point blank at the attacker. As long as you put your hand up and the knife is not able to hit any vital areas, I don't see how 90% of the time the guy with the knife won't be pumped full of a few holes. Even though he was able to get a strike in.
It doesn't always matter who reacts first it matters who delivers the strike that will kill first.
This is why I appendix carry my pistol (faster draw and easier to retain) and carry two knives and OC spray as my EDC. I also carry a tourniquet on me and two more in my vehicle, in case myself or someone else gets shot, stabbed or injured another way. Be prepared and you will survive. But you've got to be a quicker draw and faster shot than this. It has taken practice, but I can get a shot off in .7 of a second, from the time I make the decision to shoot to the time the first shot fires. That is how you beat a knife or another gun. Just like the old west, the gunslingers with the fastest, most accurate draw live.
Would’ve never thought a knife would beat a gun in any scenario but it does actually make sense to me now why at close range a knife is better. Interesting
That's assuming that first shot makes the suspect unable to attack
And the defender was waiting for the attack
Imo there should be a part 2
Where defender is in the crowd of 5-10 people all around him. He would be the only one who doesn't know which one will charge at him
And let's say 2 hit as 100% succses
Best weapon is a heavy blunt object, if you get clobbered over the head, you're probably out for a few minutes, if not, you're concussed and have impaired motor function.
Also blunt force incapacitated almost immediately, you can get shot in the heart and run nearly 2 city blocks before you die, adrenaline is pretty op.
Moral of the story, quarterstaff supremacy
THE ONES THAT WERE EVADED SOME WOULD STILL BE STRIKES AS EVEN AFTER BEEN SHOT ATTACKER WILL STILL HAVE MOMENTUM COMING FORWARD, OR MAY NOT BE INCAPACITATED IMMEDIATELY. SO EVEN AFTER BEEN SHOT SOME OF THE ATTACKS IF REAL MAY HAVE STILL CONTINUED THROUGH.
SO I THINK EVEN IF YOU GET A SHOT OFF STILL NEED TO MOVE OUT OF THE PATH OF THE BLADE, THOUGH THIS ADDS A PROBLEM THAT SHOOTING WHILE MOVING WILL REDUCE ACCURACY SO FIRST ROUND MAY NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE.
ALSO AT CLOSE RANGE STOPPED COVERING NECK WITH LEFT ARM WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A REALLY GOOD IDEA TO GET A BARRIER IN THE WAY OF NECK.
In first scenario what would have happened if the guy with gun went towards target instead of away. By closing the gab the guy with knife loses all momentum and the knife attack could be deflected with a block giving time to raise gun and fire. Sometimes the greatest way to avoid danger is to run towards it!
So 7 meters appears to the minimum distance to successfully draw against a knife, assuming your draw is smooth.
I want to put my thoughts on this matter. I think that the gun would loose in the 0-10 meter range.
To preface this scenario will presume that the attcker(knife guy) will catch the gun guy of guard but the attcker starts from these ranges and gun guy has full view of the attacker at all times.
In the 0-3 range the gun guys just dead no doubt in my mind he might have time to touch his gun thats about it
3-6 the gun man will get shots off most of the time but his momentum and the fact that you dont go down straight away from being shot you would still have to be cearful
6 and onwards the gun will win 100% but that does not mean that this is the knife guys limit.
From know on we will get into the realm of momentum and surprise attacks. In these ranges the gun man will have there back to the attacker and the attacker will be moving at there max speed when the gun man notices he is being attacked.
0-6 gun man is dead in my mind
6-10 is where it would be 50/50
10 onwards attackers dead
I think knives are more lethal and painful to a cirtain extent hears why. Thanks to humanitarian laws pullets are required cause as little suffering as possible aka trying to make bullets go straight through enemies in stead of get stuck and cause less damage because of there comparatively small area, knives on the other hand have the hole length of the blade (bullets have only the diameter). Knives I believe cause more pain (with exptions), a slice cuts through multiple nerve groups which can cause gashes at least a foot long doing mager damage and causing multiple hemorrhages, a stab causes a wound the size of 3 to 6 inch blade witch can be twsted moved about to cause secondary damage and if taken out can cause major blood loss. Speed is also a focactor because a knife is going slower its the body enough time to register the pain but a bullet would be going so fast the body wouldn't register the pain as quick possibly delaying the pain by a few hundred micro seconds wich makes all the differance in this scenario and the bullet would cause the damage the size of a penny
That my point of view if you are either hate what I just said or you agree with me either way you wouldn't run at someone with a knife from across street and wouldn't pull out your gun standing next to someone holding a machete, guns and knives have their place, its all about variety.
PS I just looked back at this comment after finishing and thought "why did I just spend half an our witing this"
Have a nice day btw ignore the spelling mistakes I dont care enough to fix them
“A bit of advice: Try using knives next time, works better for close encounters.”
This is why no matter who you are, what you do, what you carry always practice the Teep kick. Always.
Got it. So if I don't attempt to defend against the knife strike, am killed by one knife strike, am in an encounter in which the opposition already has their weapon drawn, and the attacker has no fear of my firearm, then I would be better off using a knife. Oh, forgot to mention, i'm also screwed if i'm not allowed to move, and have to hip draw with a jacket in the way.
Litterally change any one of these things and this test is skewed completely in favor of the gun.
I’ve watched a guy cruise up on a bicycle to a guy who thought he was facing a friend. Mr bicycle had a folder open in his hand ready to rip mr friend from Adam’s apple to asshole. I was standing 10 ft away at my office door with a 9 iron and a cellphone and raised my voice when I could tell the conversation was intense. They were on different sides of a fence but my dude was a dead man and never knew it. I was set to drop bike boy but wouldn’t have been near in time to save my bud, and I could move faster than a cat at that time. And these weren’t soldiers or vets,,just street punks. I called my wife and started taking on my phone and bike boy took off. I walked over to bud and asked you never seen it didja? He said @dudes just a punk@ I said dude had a four inch blade ready to rip you as soon as you leaned on the gate. Whatever you owe him, you better pay that man cuz he’s real
Any demonstration from hands/knife or hands/gun scenario could work here.
They should do a video with the gun already drawn and see who wins
Yeah good videos real scenarios
Not classic badass martial arts guy who defeats everyone
Would love to see the knife guy try this against instructor zero
when its gun vs. knife if the knife is the one attacking it usually will win because its either by surprise attack or close enough they can get to you before you can properly use a firearm . And even if you do manage to get a shot off chances are pretty high you will still be stabbed several times before the attacker goes down . But if its at a distance and your being shot at then your better off having a firearm so its nice to carry both with easy access .
Oh as for going against a weapon your usually better off not backing up and evading but rather come at them from one side or the other and jam the weapon arm attacking you as you attack . They only get one chance to attack and since you came in its usually a unexpected reaction and your chances of success is much higher . Personally though instead of going for my gun id probably have jammed it while hitting the throat or stomping the knee then pull the gun as they start to drop from the damage dealt . Damage they arent simply going to be able to shake off . Knives are handy tools but once their legs broke or they cant breath their ability to use it drops by alot.
In reality, both would have quite a big chance of getting pretty fucked up, since knife wounds don't usually kill instantly, and neither do handgun wounds. My bet would be that the one with the better training would have the best chance of survival.
This is important right now.
Unless you already have your gun pointed at them or they are far away like 30ft, don’t bother trying to fight the guy with the knife
The moral of the story is don't bring a gun to a knife fight. Or a knife to a gun fight. Actually, just stop going to fights, you'll put your eye out
Why on earth would you not have your gun already out when someone even hints at having a knife?
The lesson is never bring a gun or a knife to a dubstep fight.
Why is the attacker stopping before being shot on the 21ft demonstration?
Well, it's pretty unrealistic considering that the knife guy just immediately stops after being hit once. People keep going for more than a few seconds even after being shot multiple times.
Also consider, the knife guy is the assailant in most of these
Isn't this the kind of discussion about who gets neutralized first? I mean, the third demonstration would be fatal for the knife man, he stabbed the oponent's left hand whilst had a pistol directed towards his chest...
incredible video guys
I like how the guy with the knife almost always dies but the guy with the gun loses.
Awesome video will be sharing
Two years ago and I was in Colombia I was attacked by two guys that were bigger than me in the woods that had knives and ambushed me surprisingly never been in the situation before I did get stabbed in the face and leg, I guarantee if I would’ve had a gun that would’ve resolved the situation pretty quickly but whenever I’m in Colombia now I carry a push dagger.
Very cool to see this demonstration. thanks!!
Not because the attacker get shot once it's all over. Some get shots multiple times (10 times) and still stab you many times. Watch my channel you will see real life attack and shooting.
Critical tips: Never put white text on bright background.
Do the initiation of knife attacks ever take place further than 1 meter away?
This does not mean much. First Move Advantage. Always throw the first punch in a fight you need to win. Period.
No follow through he can be still be shot as long as the gunner have the strength to pull the trigger. The gunner at least push the knifer in the throat while firing in the body. At a distance knifer less change unless the gun jams.
Unfortunately one shot from a pistol isn't effective. In fact even a whole magazine may not stop an attacker. Attacks last much longer and even if you do end up stopping the knife welder you might still lose your life due to the initial damage done and the continued aggression. Make sure you have your affairs in order and tell people you love them. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
If 7m is the safe distance for an expert with a pistol - Just think how far you need to be if you are not an expert or are without a weapon !
If this were Call of Duty, he would have shot the dude five times from thirty feet away, and the guy with the knife would have been fine, and one-shotted him with his knife, by slicing his hand once.
Great vid, I like how ya'll get right to it.
Knife techniques self defense with hand that own tools
I think in most situations they would both die. You cut someone's throat or stab them they are still going to want to hurt you so the guy with the knife would still get shot. Now there are examples on both sides about this some have survived being stabbed or cut and some have survived being shot.....but both got badly injured. A real fight is a scary situation and the human body is a fragile thing in the context of arms and combat. If you are both hellbent on killing eachother there will probably be no survivor.
I think less focus on getting to the pistol and more focus on defending the knife then get to pistol
Gibbs' Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife.
You're supposed the other hand to stop/block the knife...
thats why is important to learn martial arts so that you can learn how to defened yourself againsta knife to block the arm so that you know how to kick him away from yourself with a front kick or kick the knife out of he.s hand unless it is a huge knife then there.s not much to do
Against someone who is training in the use of the knife and avoiding disarms it does not work
Maybe he should do a push kick to keep his distance
might i suggest gunman dropping down backwards while drawing pistol?
Gun wins every time if they’re the good guy and no sneak attack
Hey, huge fan of ninjas! still in Covid here, was wondering when the malls were going to open back up, and if you all are going back to patrolling them?
So.. uh.. grab the weapon hand? All of these scenarios could’ve been stopped and would’ve become grappling cases as soon as the weapon hand is momentarily restrained
What people dont realize. Is. A gun can jam. A knife. Wont. A. Knife is a up and personal weapon a. Gun is a. Long range weapon a. Skilled person will a kombat knife is gonna win up close. Why? You have to pull the trigger. With a firearm by the time you do your stabbed up. If the guy with the combat knife can get close
Keep in mind the knife attacker doesn't care what happens to him after he attacks you. Meanwhile you, the law abiding gun owner, are making the mistake of "over thinking" the situation.
so if anyone tries to walk anywhere inside your 7m radius, you better have your pistol ready
high block with off hand. like youre holding a phone with elbow high and tight and mag dump
