      Advice from a military veteran, you can run in a straight line to safety and be fine. Real life guns are not as accurate at video game guns. Ran as fast to safety as you can.

      You don’t have to be faster than the bullet, you just have to be faster than your friends.

      So don’t hang out with the track team. Hang out with the AV Club.

      A moving target drops your chances of being hit by 90%.

      1 in 10 shots hit a moving target, in general.

        I’d love to see the data under the hood on that.

        Does that apply to military scenarios? Does it distinguish indoors vs outdoors? Pistol vs. Rifle vs. Magazine size?

          As someone who is not afraid of guns and owns and uses guns a moving target is just literally harder to hit.

          Analogy would be a car it’s easier to drive a car while stationary it’s hard to drive a car on the freeway with other moving cars.

          “According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), there were 216,366 traffic accidents in the state in 2022, which resulted in 3,854 fatalities and 165,978 injuries”

          And people in cars are not trying to hurt anyone. 🤣
