Whoa. It can take one to three seconds to draw and fire your weapon. And to do that when your opponent already has their weapon pointed at you is either suicidal or really gutsy.

Actually there are plenty of people who can draw and fire under a second. It was proved by demonstration back in the 1960s that some people could draw and fire, while facing an armed perp with hammer cocked and gun pointed, before the perp could fire his/her weapon. Saw it done more than once back in the day.
