Law enforcement students in this area see a film titled "Fire Power" I have viewed it several times and replayed many segments over and over. One was all about what this thread is about.
The shooter with a 308Win.
The shootiee, is protected with a plated vest designed to withstand a 458 win Mag. and is standing 8-10 feet in front of the rifle.
he is shot in the center of mass and there is no discernible reaction as the flinch could be caused by many things, but the recipient stood his ground.
The next shot the recipient was standing one legged and again he stood his ground. Everything that was discussed in conjunction to this exercise was supported in the previous post by Frankenmauser.
