How to survive a shooting

The biggest feeling this movie gave me was, how should I survive a similar shooting incident?

Especially recently there has been such a thing on the streets of Vienna.

The first thing to do is to understand the weapon used by the suspect.

According to online news: the suspects appear to be using a Mini 14 rifle from the American company Luger and a Glock pistol.

1. The Mini-14 light rifle was originally developed as a civilian rifle. It was launched on the market in 1974. Use NATO 5.56mm standard bullets; effective range is 300M (it is also lethal outside the effective range); it can be single or continuous; there are three types of magazines: 5 rounds, 20 rounds, and 30 rounds.

2. The Glock 17 9mm pistol is the most common pistol in the world. It was first developed by the Austrian Glock Company in 1983. A variety of models have been developed and equipped with military and police forces in more than 40 countries around the world. It has 17 rounds of ammunition and a range of 50 meters (it is also lethal beyond the range.)

Second, the technique of shooting at moving targets:

Since the position, running direction, distance and speed of the target change frequently, in order to hit the target, the advance must be taken. Moving targets will greatly increase the difficulty of shooting. It can be seen from the figure below:

  • For laterally moving targets, move the line of sight to the front of the target.
  • For longitudinally moving targets, move the line of sight below and above the target.

Third, coping strategies

I strongly recommend you to watch the documentary "Survival of Cataclysm".

It is human instinct to stay there rigidly when in extreme fear.

This time on the streets of Vienna, the man hid in the corner because of fear. It was too late by the time the gunman appeared. In the event of a similar shooting, you must overcome your instincts and don't stay there - take cover and act quickly.

You can run a long distance while waiting for a magazine change.
