Not so...

With the average person's reaction time being about 2 seconds, you have at least 3/4's of a second to draw and fire before the BG even thinks of what to do.

3/4 second is a long time... use all of it!
Sure, go with what Pointer is saying, but you will be counting on the bad guy being on morphine or quaaludes if it takes his 2 seconds to form a reaction to your draw.

I am sure we have all seen the ATM videos where the two bad guys try to rob the good guy at the ATM. He turns to confront the bad guys, each with a drawn gun pointed at him and then realizing that he has about two seconds before the bad guys will react, he draws and fires on both, neither having even flinched because it takes about 2 seconds for bad guys to react.

Holy crap, Pointer, where did you come up with 2.0 seconds? You are off only by a factor of 10. It is 0.2 seconds, not 2.0
