Be honest /k/, how many shots would you need?

Even with adrenaline and chaos all around you that is not terribly far unless you have a weak purse gun.

Go shoot a moving torso target at 40 yards with a pistol and get back to.me.
>>
>>64645295
One, I spent years dinging 12 inch plates with a colt 1851 at 50 yards. It's quite easy when you get into it and that's a cap and ball. With one of my centrefire revolvers in 44 it would be like shooting at an elephant..

>Australian police forces primarily use the Glock semi-automatic pistol (most often the Model 22 or Model 17) or the Smith & Wesson M&P .40 S&W semi-automatic pistol as standard issue firearms.

Don't be shy now, no one is gonna laugh at you.

>>64645301

Any halfway passable pistol shooter should be able to hit a torso sized target out to 50m the majority of the time. Decent shooters can hit that target almost every time.

What makes the shot more challenging is that it was in an actual firefight i.e. the shooter's adrenaline is fucking with their aim, and the target might not be holding still and/or is shooting back. But in terms of raw marksmanship, hitting a man shaped target at 40 meters isn't anything amazing.

Look, I know guys who shoot pistol silhouette and can hit the small ones set up at 50M every time. I don't give a shit about whatever shitty range you magdump at. I'm not even a particularly good pistol shot, if you don;t now that it's actually not difficult to hit 12 inch plates at 50 yards repeatedly even with a cap and ball with a (very small) bit of practise you need to sit down and rethink your shooting because there are people way better than me, I'd say I'm very average. With a five inch barrel 44 its an easy easy shot on a man sized target. I don;t shoot wonder 9s or even own a glock.

You're fucking high, goofball. Go shoot a moving torso at 40 yards and come back here and tell me it's easy. People on this board CONSTANTLY overstate their fuckign marksmanship abilities because NONE OF YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING SHOOT

We've gone from "it's not that hard" to "I know a guy who can do it".
You're fucking lying. At 50 yards you front sight post is going to cover the entire torso. It is a hard shot even for seasoned shooters.
>>
>>64645304
Yeah dude I could hit playing cards at 100 yards with a flintlock pistol back in the day. Like shooting fish in a barrel!
>>
People ITT think because they can get a dinnerplate sized group in a target at 7 yards they can shoot a man sized target at 40. Next time you're at the pistol range put your target ALL THE WAY back at the 25 yard line and see how good your groups are. I dare you.
>>
>>64645360
Can you not read. I said I spent years ringing 12 inch steel plates with a cap and ball colt 1851 at 50 yards and would find hitting a man at 50 yards with a five inch barrel 44 mag EASY. What I also said is there are people who shoot FAR better than me competitively at 50 yards. I don't know what the fuck your problem is but again, I'm not a particularly good pistol shoot, its not my main shooting interest, I'm very average. The fact you find what I'm telling you unbelievable really means you can't shoot at all. You're one of those mag dumping spastics with a glawk who'd only ever used it at an indoor range are you? Not my fucking problem.
>>
>>64645372
Lying faggot. You're not going to be able to SEE a 12 inch plate at 50 yards with pistol iron sights. The post will literally be bigger than the target. I'm sure you could get hits slowfiring off a bag rest or something but if you noticed in the OP we're talking about offhand shooting on a moving target. You're an egotistical liar who doesn't shoot.
>>
I notice a lot of shooters vastly overestimate distance on unmarked ranges. They'll put a target out at "20 yards" and it will be like 15 feet from the firing line. Might be the cause of some of the hubris in this thred.

I actually shoot my guns so i know what shooting at a moving mansized target at 25 yards looks and feels like. At 40 hitting the target is going to be more luck than skill. Anyone claiming otherwise is overestimating themselves or underestimating distance. If you continue to claim otherwise you are confirmed noguns LARPer.

Most people overestimate themselves. Firearms enthusiasts doubly so. 90% of shooters would have a hard time.hiting a moving man sized target past 20 yards but I guarantee 90 percent would also say they could make this shot. The truth is a 40 yard shot is hard as fuck to make offhand with a pistol.

I probably wouldn't, because my eyesight is dogshit, but people make those kinds of shots in competition all the time, and I'm not even talking about the pros and the guys who have been doing it for 30 years, I mean guys who have practiced for just a couple of years and shoot somewhat often.

You sound like my fudd dad refusing to recognize the idea of pistol marksmanship actually being a thing at all.

>How many could make a shot with a 9mm pistol off-hand on a moving target behind concrete cover, only exposing it's head and shoulders, a target that is also actively returning rifle with a large caliber hunting rifle?

>If the question is how common would it be, in the real world, for someone to successfully do that under the conditions you describe, the honest answer is:
>Vanishingly few—effectively almost none.
>At a high, non-tactical level, here’s why:

>Off-hand pistol accuracy is already limited, even for skilled shooters, compared to supported or two-handed, controlled conditions.
>A moving, partially exposed target (head and shoulders only) dramatically reduces hit probability.
>Concrete cover removes most of the target and introduces visual and timing constraints.

>Being actively fired upon by a high-power rifle imposes extreme stress, physiological effects (adrenaline, tunnel vision, loss of fine motor control), and a powerful incentive to prioritize survival over precision.
>Real-world combat is not a shooting range: visibility, unpredictability, fear, and chaos degrade performance far beyond what even elite training can fully overcome.

>Even among:

>>64645316
distance at the pistol range is like weight on the barbell. That number goes up frequently as the recounting is morphed into a story. Like me, personally? I ring the gong at 75m with my ppk easily and bench 315 for reps on an empty stomache, really anyone should be able to do this idk why so many struggle
>>
Did he hit though? I dont think I'd land any. Not because the distance itself is impossible but because of adrenaline, moving targets who are only partially exposed AND returning fire. And because I'd be knowing that any wasted seconds or shots would likely cost lives.

>>64645295
No idea. I've never shot a pistol at a moving target. I'm consistently able to land hits on a B27 target at 75 yards off hand (and by that I mean somewhere in the black, no "group" to speak of) with a browning hi power. I usually only shoot my carry pistol (glock 23) out to 25 yards. I figure I could probably get a hit if I used a tree or something for support. Hopefully the first few shots will make the shooter freeze and give me a chance to draw a bead, otherwise I'm going to try to suppress and maneuver closer for a better shot if I think he's going to hurt my family or blast a few rounds to suppress and run away if my family is not in danger.

40 yards, what's that in human distances? 36 meters?

Well. It has been a long ass time since I've been taught any tactics. Call me rusty, call me stupid. BUT. It seems like the obvious solution to move closer to your target for a sure shot. At a distance you can't guarantee your shots wont go hitting, say a civilian in the background. And by missing you're potentially causing the terrorist in question to return fire, completely negating the advantage you had. You wouldn't be stopping the attack, it would simply continue with the only armed guy(you) in the area being pinned down. Or worse, your sorry ass becoming a casualty instead of the hero you so desperately wish to be. And even if that wouldn't happen you don't have the luxury of plinking until you succeed, because people are, you know, being shot to death. And your assumed purpose is to stop that from happening, not take potshots. Not to mention it's not a long distance even for a fat ass, you will get there in no time, unless your mode of travel is by a tactical mobility scooter.

But what do I know. I'm just an asshole.

Shut the fuck up no guns.
There is no such thing as a stock Glock that has the mechanical accuracy to print a 2 inch group at 50 yards.
The Glock 34, the most mechanically accurate stock Glock, prints a 1 1/2 to 2 inch group at 25 yards. The absolute physical best a stock Glock could do at 50 yards is a three inch group; using match or hand loaded ammo fired from a bench vice without any wind.
Add a human shooter using factory ammo and your claim of a 2 inch group at 50 yards isn’t even a pipe dream. It’s the claim of a goddamn idiot that needs to keep their mouth shut when the adults are talking.

With a pistol, when I'm done checking the zero and doing a few mags of practice I usually spend a few mags taking potshots at whatever the hell I want.
20-30yds is nothing. 40-50 takes a few tries to rip a solid hit into a drink can.

Very few. Probably less than 10 percent of hasguns on /k/ could make that shot. At 40m you are going to have difficulties distiguishing your sight from the target, especially with police duty sights. Couple that with shooting standing unsupported and the stress of bullets going in both directions and I would say a single digit percentage of hasguns on /k/ could successfully make that shot.

Do you enjoy going full retard?
I’m the one that posted>>64646035
Which if you can’t be asked to read what I wrote in the corner of the target is 30/30 shots on target with a bog standard 92fs at 50 yards. Group is a little high and right because I was aiming for the heart. Here’s a second pic to back myself up.
I know it isn’t your fault that you’re a retard but with enough effort any disability can be overcome. I believe in you Anon. No matter what your mother says about you.

>>40m with a pistol
>Be honest /k/, how many shots would you need?

In this scenario:
1) 2 armed targets shooting anyone moving
2) Both are moving but staying in the same general location
3) Have a multi-trunked large tree in-between us and I haven't yet been seen as an active lethal threat
4) Notice both targets movement tendencies
5) Take out first target with one shot (from Barraza'a angle that would be a head/neck chest shot and doable)
6) Do best to not move one inch since the other target is going to be looking in your direction
7) Remaining target is not moving and ducking erratically, but notice they are popping up, firing, then ducking
8) Guess at the pop-ups
9) Take another 2-3 shots to neutralize 2nd target.

Answer: 4, unless the second one got me first.

Local club did a Dicken Drill as the last stage of one of their 'IDPA style' matches a few years back. Course for the stage was push your No Shoot gf out of the way, draw, shoot ten rounds at IDPA standard torso at 40y. Time limit was 20 seconds and par was 8 hits.

The result, among a sample of ~16 shooters who showed up to a local club match in New England was a very bimodal distribution. Most of the shooters got 7+ hits and a handful got 0; none in between. My conclusion is that anyone who practices even a few times at 50+ with their pistol can do it easily.

Tell me you don’t shoot without telling me you don’t shoot. It takes a lot more than a little practice to get good. It also requires continuing practice because shooting is not a learn it and then ignore it skill and you can just pick up where you left off. If you aren’t using it you are losing it. You will get rusty without practice and it will take time to get back into your stride. There is a lot of muscle memory you can lose. There is a lot of technique you can forget. Something as small as losing your instinct to correctly place the pad of your finger on the trigger can ruin not just your shot but your whole day if it has been long enough that you just don’t remember. You need to remember to pull your 1911 trigger differently than your 92fs trigger. I could go on and on. But the point is it takes more than a little practice and you need to keep the skill sharp.
>>
>>64648194
That’s okay anon. Practice practice practice. Get some snap caps and dry fire. The only person on the range you need to be better than is yourself from the last time you were on the range.

Why is that guy so mad that some people practice with their guns? Here in the US we saw an armed citizen stop a shooter at similar distances with just a compact handgun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwood_Park_Mall_shooting

>There are no competitions at 50 yard you fucking idiot.
There are service pistol competitions all over the country where people fire their handgun at 25 yards and 50 yards. Furthermore, if you've ever seen an ISSF competition, there will be people all over the world shooting targets 50 meters away with a .22 LR and some iron sights.

Interestingly enough braced long range pistol shooting has very practical applications but nobody teaches and trains it. "Cheating".
>>
>>64645466
This. Some random dude made a 100+ yard shot with 357 magnum on another guy shooting at a cop years ago. Lots of people shoot pistols long range, especially in the western states.

40yd would be fucking nothing for my carry gun (Five-seveN). I wouldn't even need a higher hold. Plus it most definitely would NOT cover the torso. Primarily because it's set up for a 6oclock hold. I'd just aim at the dudes beltline like always. I regularly shoot this gun at 25yds of 4" headbox targets and it's not really hard at all. Plus it's my bobcat/coyote gun.

OP is some urban retard that's never shot ANYTHING running away from him after realizing he's human and not a rabbit in distress nor has he ever attempted to adjust his sights for long range shooting since he's probably got some dumb shit fixed setup on his "premium" glawk.

I've seen all of the videos. The terrorists were going from wall to wall on the bridge, basically pop up targets. Predictable locations, unpredictable timing. Supported on a tree like that guy in the pic, I most likely one shot them with my carry gun. I shoot pop up targets out to 50 yards without support and do LARP run and gun faggotry. Adding support makes it almost trivial even with adrenaline flowing.

Anon I just grew up plinking with airpistol gats at corks and then spent a while going club air pistol and 22/32. The I got really into cap and balls and flintlocks and percussion duelling pistols. I used like to fire a chamber out of a 1851 every few days to zen out in my back field range at 50M and it was rare when I did not ring steel and and I'm a VERY average pistol shot, the only defensive handgun I have ever had is a pair of old model 29s with five inch barrels (cut backs) that were gifted to me to carry by a colleague and I don't even carry them anymore. I've NEVER been a very good pistol shot (I'm competitive sheet and fclass) but you don't have to be to put an aimed shot on a torso at 50M. I don't need red dots on a handgun (or a shotgun) and I have little use for them on rifles either, I prefer a decent 10x scope on pass through scope mounts that leave irons useable on practical rifles and on long range rifles I use a custom shop 40x.

The worst thing about OP is not that he knows nothing about shooting with handguns and never even done competitive 22 pistol, it's that he's a pig headed fool who thinks everyone MUST be as shit stained as he is.

Of course, I struggle a bit at those ranges with a handgun only because of my astigmatism (It messes with my depth perception), but plenty of people who don't have my condition can do a 40-yard shot with a pistol easily. Hell, the Army, USMC, and Navy (I'm not sure about the Air Force) won't let you become a tier one operator unless you can do a shot like that.

On top of all if this.
They banned firearms

You have another leftist slime killing a Republican white woman and they conveniently find the guy killed himself.
After successfully escaping a man hunt after a mass shooting in a university that supposedly has hundreds of cameras...
The fact that they hired a FUCKING IMMIGRANT to be chef of police in Rhode Island...
England has arrested thousands of people over Facebook posts and you expect me to believe for a fucking second the neo-USSR is a bunch of lying bolshevik peices of shit?
40 yard shot is doable but very difficult.
So haw did this man practice in a country that has banned the very thing you need to practice with?

Australia took their hatred out of firearms and fucking X posters cracking down on "racism" over foreigners shooting foreigners in AUSTRALIA.

I carry a bodyguard 2.0. I'll be honest if I mag dumped I'd give it a 2/3 chance I hit him. But during that time he'd also be firing back at me with an actual rifle so odds are I'd get hit before hitting him. I'd put my odds at 1 out of 5 of outshooting the gunman who has a bolt action at that distance.

I keep seeing people blame this on religion, but as a reminder, there are many almost 2 million aussies of the Islamic faith. The overwhelmingly majority do not commit crimes.
The bigger picture here is white, western Zionist influence, who has pushed many people to the edge. If you guys want less Muslim attacks in your country, just stop supporting Israel. We could literally all live in peace. Until then, enjoy a sporadic attack which matches 0.01% the death toll that Israel inflicts on Palestine daily. Peace.

If you give in on Israel then the jyhadis will demand something else, probably to let them enforce sharia on Muslims.

It's just the one guy steaming.
When that guy got the spree shooter at the mall back then, everyone was complimentary because the hero was still relatively green (just got his carry license even), and it was legit a non-trivial shot. He did damn good.

OP, however, seemingly thinks that a moderately difficult shot like this is inconceivable, and that anyone who claims that they could probably do it, or anyone suggesting they might be able to do it, is an absolute lying larper, and he comes up with all these ridiculous mental gymnastics (you're lying if you say you have a pistol range longer than 25yd, nobody shoots competitively with pistols at 50yds, etc), where he insist only a certified pistolero god could have a chance in hell to pull it off.

OP probably is some sort of bitter narcissist with a bruised ego, who's extremely self-conscious of his own skills with a handgun, and refuses to accept that there in fact a fair amount of people who genuinely can make somewhat difficult shots like these.

Popper targets, swingers, stars, are all moving faster than a fat ass at 40 yards and are arguably more difficult to hit. They've been range staples for over 50 years now. Metallic silhouette shooters shoot extreme long range with handguns all the time.

You're just completely ignorant of what's available to shooters. Primarily because you're an urban dude who's primary exposure to shooting is at a static range. That's why you think it's soooo different in competition when it's literally the same, if you've got a range set up that way.

People shoot this way every weekend. It isn't some special event like it is for you.

Partially very true, but they do that because they know that racial tensions have undeniably grown in the west, and that stirring up shit and catering to partisans in divisive (enough) hotbutton issues is an easy way towards payout.
Since they get caught doing this, they are trying to wield it defensively.

The combination of:
>1. Too many normalfags (especially minors).
>2. Indians getting wider internet access.
>3. Social media paying for engagement.
>4. Controversy and trolling giving most engagement.
>5. AI
... has really made the internet SIGNIFICANTLY worse than it already was in the past few years, and it stokes a lot of needless flames in society as a whole.
There's so much incentive and so many tools to aggressively drive discourse towards the bottom at every turn, no matter what, and it makes the web less fun.

No one is competing and shooting swingers at 40 yards you are a fat retard who spends too much time in VR and you think it makes you a good shooting. Typical online over confidence.

At the outdoor range where I work for free and get free range time in return (and by work I spend maybe 2 hours a week cleaning things up) they have LEO certifications on a regular basis. I'm willing to bet that MAYBE 10% of the officers can shoot good enough, and have enough moxy, to make this scenario plausible. Conversely, I'd say that most of the regulars could make the shots, but only a few would have what it takes to stand there when someones shooting back.

And if you watch the videos most of the officers clearly did not have any balls at all and spent most of the time hiding. If I would have had the same cover I know for a fact I could have taken out one for sure and quite likely more if I timed it so the ones who were still alive didn't know where the shot came from; just like shooting the rear turkey first.
