Folks,
I'm just wondering how many of you have actually been in shootouts.
I ask not to offend, but rather because the answers I see to some of these scenarios border on the unrealistic.
While the answers seem cool calm and logical, gunfights never are. It seems a lot of the answers given in the scenarios presuppose more time than one would actually have.
On the positive side, I see very few "Rambo" answers to the scenarios I've read. They are mostly well thought out; they just assume more time than reality allows for.
I'm going to make this a poll, simply because most times those who have been in shootouts preferred not to talk about it.
I'm just looking to see where the experience base is at, and no offense is intended to anyone at all.

ETA: To clarify some confusion, YES, it DOES COUNT if you pulled it but didn't fire. The decision NOT to fire must be made just as quickly as the decision TO fire, after all. J.S.
