This may sound a little far fetched maybe not. I was watching this newest bad ass cop show Wanted, and right before they went into a shootem up, one cop says to the lady cop, "Point and shoot" she says, 'What?' to which he replies, "Don't try and aim, just point your weapon at them and shoot".
Now we're talking about handguns here. So in my military mind, pointing and shooting is not an effective tactic. Of course, I was never professionally trained to clear a room with a handgun or arrest bad guys. Any thoughts on this? The more I think about it, the more it intrigues me. First in a firefight at close range, how would you have much time to aim your weapon. On the otherhand, Wild Bill Hickok was not effective for being the fastest draw, but keeping his head during a shoot out and aiming at his target. He also said, 'you can out shoot me all day on paper, but in real fight, I won't lose' (or something to that effect).
All opinions are welcome.
