Despite the "friendly" training nature of it your hands shake, weapons jam, and you see just how much EVERYBODY can miss when they are shaken up. One in the head, one in the chest, all works good if you can keep your brains together long enough to do it. Afterwards you can fall apart. Fall apart before or during and you are in trouble.

Kinda what I was trying to say GOB without maybe causing hard feelings. Seriously the only double taps and head shots I ever saw were in VN..and as I said those dudes were scary. Not many people even with all the training can keep their wits about 'em when them little lead things are flying around. Scared the snot outta me I can tell ya. I woulda been lookin for a place to hide but usually in an airplane...which wasn't too scary till you could hear the little lead thingies makin holes in your Big Aluminum thingie...and the only thing you could do was put distance tween you and the BGs. From all the shootings I have seen most of the hits by either side seemed to be by chance..till the training kicked in with some of the LEOs and don't take it wrong but in at least 2 observed fights the BGs side seemed to not be shootin back..Takes a lot off'n yer mind...but those scary dudes in VN...They were either crazy or trained to not fear...well... the fear of death
