Question
As related to image two my very first thought was a wonder of what ie the relationship as between the human and the target.
I do not mean spatial relationship.
I am talking who is the target as to the human?
Is the human a GG or a BG?
Is the human a civilian or a LEO?
Is the target assumed to be right handed as are the majority of humans and thus BG/GG persons?
Reason why I ask these things...Lets look at the image again, with detail.
The first target is ignored as that was nothing more than an action initiator.
Meanwhile the human chooses to engage and run toward the target. He places his shoulders and thus centerline nearly square to that of the targets shoulders and centerline.
Why would a person do this as toward a threat that is able enough as a threat to warrant reaction toward lethal force?
Also the human is moving as in spatial relation to the target toward it's left and crossing to its center.
As most human are right handed if the target is armed and has a handgun in specific then the human has aligned himself directly in front of the target and made it functionally easier for the target to snap/point shoot him as unsighted. If the target were instead drawn and at some degree of extension mid or high still the human has placed himself well within the natural and bio-mechanical sweet spot for the target to make a coarse kill shot.
Why did he choose to move as n that direction and why is he aggressing/engaging?
A LEO would not be closing distance, or shouldn't. He would be regressing and dropping away under these conditions to gain distance/space and seek cover and buy time to draw and fire all as at one.
Equally one should be doing this at extreme angles as related to the target and not moving as within the targets direct plane or rather cone of inherent accuracy. For a left handed person it is more difficult to move the arm as in fine motor control toward shooting the direction of left. Opposite applies to a right handed person.
Optimally in this case the the target would be left handed and the human placed himself to his left and remain as to his left....while moving, away.
But is the target is a right handed person and the human as shown is standing on the left then he the human is at a strong disadvantage. By bio-mechanics alone. What to do? Get away ASAP which means buying distance and retreating away while drawing and firing if at all possible.
The relative spatial distance between the human and the target are too far away for the human to seriously entertain closing distance and making contact with a pre-emptive/defenseless strike as prior to firing.
This is shown by the shadow of the target as related to the humans feet. His feet do not yet touch the top of the shadows head. That target is likely near 6' tall per training target norms. The shadow as based on it's positioning relative to the target is close to if not just over/taller than that of the target.
Good luck drawing, moving and preliminarily striking all at once as across that large of a gap...Without being shot as the target has sensed your presence and is aware of the humans movement.
Last item, if the human is a GG and he is a civilian rather than LEO...Then he may find himself in hot water logistically, as after the fact.
Reason being as a civilian he is not allowed to in many states to use lethal force as for anything but being i fear of ones own life and by that as means to reduce if not escape danger.
One does not reduce nor escape danger by attacking it and closing distance to it.
This is a side item thought but not everyone lives in TX where such items may not even be thought of by a jury nor discussed in a combat course such as this.
Just my own take and $0.02 street.
Same as others not intended to be a criticism to the negative as more a commentary related to observation and sharing of view & knowledge.
I am not a Super human nor do I play one on TV.
