I've studied gunfighting for 50 years now, and nobody's ever proven that they could do better than reliably hit the chest at 25 yds, while being shot-at. they either got a single shot luck hit, or the missed multiple other times, PROVING that the hit that they did get was a random accident, or at least, nothing to be relied-upon. When you aint got your ear protection, you miss a lot. Whether or not you consciously notice the blasts is irrelevant. It STILL hurts your ears, your body DOES flinch away from pain and flinching is a subconscious reaction to pain. Now, IF all you have is a pistol and you've got to take on guys at longer distances, put in your ear plugs, fire from ambush and a solidly braced position. THEN you might get a halfway decent hit to 50m, but man, it's a shaky proposition. The pistol is FAR more effective at 5m and less. REAL speed at such ranges can overwhelm several enemies, especially if you have cover and surprise them. Being able to hit 4-5 men in less than one second, especially if you catch them with their rifles slung over their shoulders, yes, that works, as long as you have truly effective ammo and get good hits. Such stuff is the basis of legends, however. FAR more often, it's 1 on 1 and the attacker does not have a gun, so the range is 5-10 ft, and you dont even have to fire, most often, or one hit suffices, If the start is beyond 15 ft, you've got some time to be the usual fumble-fingers in-decisive cop. I recommend that you want a lot of the videos at active self-protection.
