Timed results that someone did with sword and handgun.

Think there is one problem with his test. He attacked stationary targets. Would be curious to see how it would play out in force on force with Shini [sp?] vs Simunitions gun.

I don't think it is a simple problem. IIRC Iaido includes techniques for checking opponents strong hand while drawing one handed.

All kinds of ninjitsu type evasions the handgun person could use to gain distance.
