3gun: you're right about the slow motion effect really being your brain running faster than it ordinarily does. It's from adrenaline.
So you have a lot of thinking time you wouldn't imagine you'd have in a second or two.
That's why training, knowing the law, deciding the whether-to-shoot issues are so important. This super processing power should be used to make tactical decisions, not strategic ones.
That's one of the reasons I like the scenarios that get posted, often by Doug.38. Sometimes they make me think through things I hadn't before, and probably should have settled before the shooting starts.
