Close Range Disarming Tips
If you’re held at gunpoint at a close range, with no way to get a firearm or defensive weapon out quickly enough, your initial reactive might have to be to disarm the assailant. When doing this, here are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind.
- All your movements must be quick! < Continual practice leads to muscle memory.
- Always keep the assailant’s muzzle pointed away from you.
- Keep a hold of the firearm at all times during the disarm.
- You might have to deploy a blade into the assailant’s chest to get him more worried on running away than continuing to fight for the gun.
- When able to safely, and if you’re still in life-threatening danger, draw your own firearm and engage the assailant.
- Don’t stop until there is no threat present any more.
