10 feet is too close to run.....
At ten feet the attacker is too close for you to run from, some kind of defensive response will be required even if it only slows his attack long enough for you to turn and run.
The Guardsman on duty on the platform is most likely carrying his sidearm in condition 3; if he even has a magazine in it all. Any response you make, either shooting your assailant or a physical altercation will be long overwith before he can remove his M9 from the flapped M12 holster, charge his weapon (from whatever state of readiness he has it in) and either assist you or shoot you both in a wild series of gunshots.
