not sure what the scenario is here - 2 or 3 guys standing shoulder to shoulder, and all facing me down with guns pointed at me? in that case i really have no idea what i would do. die, probably.

but - if faced by multiple assailants (and i seem to remember posting this same thing a couple years ago), first move is to run, because:

1) all assailants will move at a different speed, making it easier to deal with whichever one reaches you first, or is closest, instead of all at once

2) if one or more is armed i'd rather be a moving target

3) if the one armed (or most heavily armed) is the slower runner, then the effectiveness of his firepower would be diminished by having a couple of his accomplices between you and him.

4) more-or-less single file assailants would, for obvious reasons, be more desirable than facing a wall of them (shoulder to shoulder)

5) they can't surround you. and they'll all be within your range of sight.

so you sprint for 20 yards, then turn and face them. if they don't follow, all the better. those of you who are arnold schwarzenegger will disagree, but i ain't him.
