TEN RULES OF A GUNFIGHT
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.
3. Only hits count.
4. If your shooting stance is good you 're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
5. Keep shooting until the threat no longer exists; then stay sharp until somebody with a badge tells you to freeze.
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gun fight, bring a long gun and a friend.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of calibre, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting you should be reloading or running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependant on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty
Yep - Put 'em on the gound and don't stop to admire your work.....stay on 'em, until they stop bleedin'.
ALWAYS REMAIN IN THE SHADOWS!!!! LET THE ENEMY COME TO YOU!!!!
12. Remember the Three 'S' Rule; shoot, shovel, and shut up.
one story he like to tell was one time he was at a relatives farm and one day as he was hanging around doin' nothin' as he said, is relative came chargin' out of the barn where he had his milk cows with a beat up old milk pail
"what gives???" dad wonderrred??? well shortly there after out came this HUMONGOUS Wharf rat!!!! his relative had been apparantly trying to beat the rat to death with the PAIL!!! since it wasn't goin' all that good , it seems, he high tailed it to the house to get his .22 rifle!!! :-))))
If you mean Counter Strike, there's a one in a thousand chance you've seen me, usually I'm in the been-killed "ghost mode", so my handle there is blood_smear.
Street fighting was a popular pass time when I was a kid, no after school activities, life in the city.
Don't concentrate to much on the guy who is down, just enough, you may loose track of the action.
The only proper use of the words 'fair' and 'fight' in the same sentence goes something like this:
"There was a fist fight at the county fair..."
"Never corner a coward"
Just because he is a coward doesn't mean he can't fight. Always leave him an escape route.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of calibre, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
The bold part pretty well sums up the entire thing IMO.
