Which is better tactically better shoot and get off the "X" or get off the "X" and then shoot and get off the "X" again? I don't claim to know the answer; but, a mortally wounded attacker is less likely to re-engage if he can't find the target. The expression "Get off the "X" is attributed to John Farnam. It helps break the VCA's OODA loop.
Best,
Rob
