@Defendu

The disarm sequences for rifles and pistols I've seen to be effective. There's only so many ways someone can point a gun at you, and in any case the techniques will be effective.

@TheLoonwolf

It depends on what "training" you are talking about. Many techniques were taught not because they were realistic but because they help to instill fighting confidence, or hope, into the soldier.

[TheLoonwolf]

@Whammer79 So you're saying that army training is going to get you killed, and is "unrealistic"?

[MidnighWolf]

Thats Fairbairn talk alright!

A true legend of close combat!
