    God Forbid I ever have to face this situation but I'll do what's necessary.
    I'd take the best shots available to me. Preferrably lower chest/upper abdomen. IF they make any aggresive movements after that... then finish it off as I see fit

    depends on what they were doing and the escalation of force.. shoot til they stop drop and flop!!
    2 in the chest and 1 in the head usually does it well

    First, I would jump in my car and run them down along with their friends and steal their money and guns. Then I would hijack a truck, and drive down the sidewalk for a while and run over a bunch of pedestrians. Then I'd drive into the slums and steal a motorcycle, and jump it on to the top of a building downtown. From there, I would use my M-16 and my rocket launcher to defend myself from the police, and eventually the military. I would kill thousands. Then I'd jump off the roof, steal another car and go get a quick paint job, thereby giving them all the slip.



    Damn you, Vice City.

    Wow, You Da Man.

    As for me, I would just shoot for center of mass. Whatever is presented to me.

    You guys do know that most folks don't just just stand there like a paper target? You probably won't get a perfect sight picture? People move, and move FAST....

    Of course you don't realize it, this is the internet where everything is possible.

    Don't worry about it now, you are all prepared and ready because you have a ______ 40 caliber with lots of high cap mags.

    Personally I'm just going to shoot to hit, don't really care where... If I hit a critical, great, otherwise, I'll just keep shooting till I'm out of ammo, or the threat is neutralized.

    Well, what I would do is shoot the bad guy's weapon out of his hand, then shoot it again so it skitters across the ground away from him so he cant reach it!

    Center mass. Shoot to stop, not kill. Do not shoot to wound. If it is OBVIOUS that the person is dead, do not kick the bad guy's weapon away like you see in the movies. Keep it in proximity of where it was dropped. Better for your story. If he is alive give aid (call an ambulance) keep your distance.

    Good

    2 in the chest 2 in the head

    Just had to be better?

    shoot til they stop drop and flop!!
    2 in the chest and 1 in the head usually does it well

    No I think 2 to the chest and 2 to the head trumps that!

    right in the ****ing face

    Darn right. Skip all that shooting them in the chest stuff. Go right for the head.

    :dunno: Why be all sensible and ruin a perfectly good necro-thread.
