ah yeah, but in fairness them airsoft guns only bring up a bit of a welt when they hit you. Last time he went on a rampage the gards brought him home by the scruff of his neck and his Ma gave him a clip around the ear hole. I doubt he will do it again.

Fight, Flee, Freeze

Seriously folks when did Freeze become a valid response to mortal danger?

theres an old quote that I'm trying to remember

if you corner a creature and it dosent attack you or try to run away from you, Its Lunch

RobbingBandit · 04-06-2012 11:31PM

OP I don't know about you but if it were me shooting the cnuts I went to school with I would put 10 rounds in each of the basterds dead or not. Damn sometimes I wish I had grown up if the land of the free.:)

Lots of people play dead in these situations. In all wars or massacres. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't? It's a lottery. The survivors think it's because they were clever. Really it's just that the were lucky.

My attitude is to run like hell. They can't kill everyone and it's all random anyway.

In America, many people believe that everyone should carry a gun and that would prevent it. But experience proves otherwise. There was a situation where a hunter attacked and killed various people. It gave the lie to the idea that having a gun will prevent you being killed because everyone he murdered had a gun and were running away. Because of course 99% of us are not killers.

It's all random.

I genuinely find it worrying that there are people out there who think these kind of things and then post them as if they've come up with some miraculous and intelligent solution. Worrying.

05-06-2012 12:26AM

Let's be realistic here. If I'm in a situation where there is some guy shooting people I know and the whole place is going to hell, there's no way in heck I'm going to think rationally.

Yeah I see this post getting a lot of stick but fair enough, I've thought it myself when watching a film with some guy shooting at anyone who moves. It's like watching people running down the middle of a road in a straight line (usually a road through a forest) or across a field or something when a a bloke in a car is trying to run them over. I mean ffs, run to somewhere the car can't go.

southcentralts · 05-06-2012 01:07AM

OP you should go teach the antelope on the Serengeti to play dead so the lions will leave them alone, you could be a hero.

AngeGal · 05-06-2012 01:08AM

I would like to think my reaction would be to try and tackle the guy, obviously from behind if possible, I could get killed either way, might as well go down swinging and maybe save a few others.

In reality, I would probably run like hell.

In a columbine style incident I always imagine myself dodging the bullets while charging at him, taking him down and then gently stroking his face, then I get up but as I do he tries to grab the gun and with my back to him I just stomp on his wrist, breaking it in half. I kneel down, stare him in the eyes and just knee him in the balls. His face is contorted in anguish. I grab him and perform multiple suplex manoeuvres on him. Then I cry out "Boy, its getting hot in here!", so I rip of my shirt revealing a smooth toned torso. I start running my hands threw my hair real quick and frenetically. I pick up the gun, chuck in the air and kick it at him with enough force to crack open his skull. I turn to the other students who are quivering in pitiful coward and say "Boy, anyone interested in a BITE!" back flipping down the corridor.

These would be the outro credits.

I believe the key is to leave your mouth open and slow your breathing down to as slow as you can get without raising your chest. The same as if yr trying to sleep. (Actor friend told me this once)

Ah I see...in my defence I am an amateur and have only been involved in two of these situations.

When people go on these kind of shooting sprees, they don't really aim all too well and just spray bullets all over the place. Chances are higher they'll point their gun towards a bunch of people to increase their chances of hitting someone.

If you want to survive, break free and run faster then the rest of the herd.

Or find a really good hiding spot.

Right, because people have the presence of mind to do this when a lunatic is chasing them with a gun.

Your instincts will tell you to run, you'd have adrenalin pumping through you, making it physically difficult to remain still.

the soldiers on both sides fighting in WWI, WWII, and Vietnam/Korea wars often shot the ones lying on the ground too just to make sure they were dead.

if your gonna do mass genocide ya may as well be thorough about it

OldGoat · 05-06-2012 11:33AM

Oh ooh, here comes a guy with a gun shooting indiscriminately. What to do what to do? Oh wait, remember that film!

Zombies know when people are pretending.

After a month on my last job, I dreamt that my colleagues were all zombies. I had gone into canteen and the zombies were feasting on the only other living person at the company. I was afraid they'd catch me. To blend in, I walked over to the colleague and picked a bit of his brain out and tasted it. In the dream, I had perceived the flavor the be vilest thing my palette had ever experienced. Inside my mind raced and I was overcome with panic because I knew I would be sick and the zombies would know I was not one of them.

In the event of zombie apocalypse, I hope I don't have to prove myself as I am certain I will fail and become zombie food. I am also hopeful that the Z.A. will be contained within the US.

sweeney1971 · 06-06-2012 12:23PM

You need to watch the training films to protect yourself from Zombies, such as the 'Walkind Dead series' do not make their mistakes and learn from them.

Besides, the Zombies would 'smell' your fresh blood' and know yu are not one of them.

Ormus · 06-06-2012 01:00PM

A much more common one in movies is where a cop or other person has a gun aimed at someone who isn't armed and that person tries to run away and the cop shoots them straight in the head, when a shot to the leg would have diffused the situation and kept the person alive.

The cops always say "he left me with no choice" and people console him and say "you were just doin your job man". Fools.

Play dead you idiot
