Those thing are terrible in an actual gunfight. "Let me just add 5 pounds to this pistol, also it's nearly guaranteed to jam up".... It's only goona take one 7.62x39 to put you down chest/stomach/legs it doesn't even really matter

If im pointing a 9mm at someone and they got a fucking ak (?) pointed at me im not doing shit either.

Also with how perfectly they were lined up and considering its mich easier to aim a rifle, she would have 100% hit at least one of those goobers while im not confident the same can be said for them

I mean, ok, but there's 2 feet between them, and it's not like you can just facetank 9mm either

If that abomination is full auto converted, one awkward squeeze of the trigger at this distance and it's probably RIP for you and the neighbor's dog too

The only reason this isn't a bloodbath is because thankfully for them both parties were too scared to shoot

It's insane to me how you guys downplay the situation

edit - And damn the balls on that woman to just get out and face these dipshits

Nah im not saying that i would take that risk, if someone points a gun at my head im soing whatever tf they want. A 9mm can kill just as instantly as a 7.62

WHATEVER they want? Huh...

I dunno I'm old I might just be like shoot me I'm not sucking BOTH your dicks.

I'm only taking one to the dome, they can figure out who's getting it.

Surprisingly reaosnable take all things considered

Gotta remember if your head game is strong enough you might knock him out making it far easier for your ak wielding gf to defend you

It’s always hilarious coming on Reddit and seeing people be like “this gun is bigger and shoots a bigger round so it wins” like do we not realize all these guns shoot lethal projectiles? lol

u/Cautious-Bet-9707 5d ago

this is correct, the 9mm is just as lethal, but if you watch the video they had a really bad angle for a gun fight, they would have to peak around the corner while she could just swing right

99% of violent encounters where a lawful citizen defends themselves with a firearm ends this way. Criminals are smart, it's way better to leave the encounter than try their luck

In those close quarters, it's more about who's got better aim than anything. They way that lady was holding her rifle, I don't think the bad guys were in much danger.

Everyone in this situation is super lucky that nobody else decided to fire a first shot. It would have been all 4 people dead, without question.

u/AdequatlyAdequate 5d ago

Yeah but i suspect the 2 guys wouöd have died first so thats a win in my book

u/dieselgeek 4d ago

No stock on that draco, I imagine the first shot would have almost hit the bf and the other shots in the sky lol

u/claytonprue 5d ago

How do we know it’s 7.62?

u/Fit_War_1670 3d ago

Could be any caliber I suppose. It's probably a rifle caliber at the least though. People don't survive chest shots from rifles all that often. That pistol essentially just pokes a hole in you, rifle pokes a hole with passion(expanding gasses). The pistol gotta hit something vital, the rifle just has to hit near something vital.
