But, in trying to figure out where he was carrying it, I think it might've been in a shoulder rig in his left armpit?
I was trying to sort that out, too. Frankly, it seems like it is more of a training issue. He had time to rack (at least 2x). He just didn't get it done.
Either way, he was almost toast from the get-go, since it looks like he didn't realize he was in trouble until he was shot the first time.
He was in full panic mode after being surprised. I've read stories of Civil War soldiers panicking in battle to the point that they kept loading their muskets without firing. Rifles were found with mini balls loaded all the way to the muzzle.Yeah, I don't think there was any indication trouble was at hand until the first shot was fired. Completely blindsided.
I disagree that training would have done anything to help though. All the training in the world can't stack the cards that have already been dealt.
I'm not so sure he carried in condition 3 either. I'm wondering if he forgot to disengage the safety and thought the resulting FTF was a malfunction, after which he cycled the slide to clear the malf and resumed shooting.
And he keeps "shooting" right before his face is introduced to the boot. If it's not firing, why doesn't he go back to trying to clear it? what would make him repeatedly pull the trigger with results? Sometimes I swear he actually gets a round or two off. The gun jerks just a little too much in a recoil-like manner or the graininess of the video makes it look like a puff of smoke. But when I watch it again I don't see it.
Oh, well. Just Monday morning quarterbacking. Interesting to consider though.
It also appeared that even with all that jewelry in the cases the only thing they took was his gun.
