"However it is not possible to bring any weapons into play in the usual civilian or police close quarter attack situation without risk of severe injury for yourself if you don't use some techniques before."
For sure but is there any alternative, than trying it ?
For me it was a astonishing result, that a "Schreckschusswaffe" which was defined in my youth (70s and 80s) as a toy for adults really can stop a knife attack. And yes, it was a unatural situation, but very interesting.
I red now some information about the Tueller test, which I have never heard before, thanks for this Tiju. At the moment I think, that this test in less showing abilities of a gun fighter because individuals are totally different (and if you see the abilities of Instructor Zero on youtube fighting against a knife attacker - this is not normal for me or other civilians). The test is more to give legal safety to the cops, having a defined range within it is necessary to shoot and to avoid a later court decision, in which the cop was charged.
I know that this forum is more on the sport side of shooting but is there any forum in which we can discusse also self defence conten open ?
