Re your post 108, that was some very interesting and useful information.
Thanks for sharing.
I am looking more and more to “common sense mathematics” in such encounters these days, that is, calculating feet and fractions of seconds.
What is really needed is for a group of fighting oriented individuals to imagine several drills that they video specifically to record distance, time and actions. Think of it as “intermediate Tueller drill”, for civilians.
I’ve tried to do this with a hypothetical armed robbery mugging and reached some startling conclusions, namely that if you have concealed carry when you are mugged-robbed, you have enormous advantages over the armed robber, even if their weapon in brandished at you and cocked.
This really needs to be documented and understood by experts, because it completely changes the tactics used. And that is just in a simple, one-on-one encounter. An individual against a group has all sorts of dynamics beyond that, and strongly overlaps into martial arts as well.
