It's recited as a Rule of thumb, Rule of 3.. You can see just how much interest I have in the details of it as I can't remember yards or feet.
I always just took the "gist" of it to mean most shootings happen at very close distance.. contact distance you might call it.
But quibble if you want I was just trying to clear up what he was likely talking about.
But I suppose in hindsight I just should have let them answer and clear it up for you.. assuming they post again on this thread.
How far would the attacker move? hard to say im sure everyone reacts to differently to being shot.
I suppose if you shoot them in the face they move about 2 yards.. backwards as they fall, If you measure from the top of their head to the ground and then latterly to where their head comes to a rest, or perhaps no movement at all if measured from their feet.
If they walk thru your bullets like they ain't there I guess I'd say in 3 seconds they'd move 15 yards.. 5 yards x 3 seconds.. 5x3 = 15. ya I think that checks out.
If they run and flee who knows maybe 30 yards?
I hear people are capable of great feats when fearing for their life.
If it's Usain Bolt, According to this story his top speed is 27.8mph
So it's hard to say as it will take him a second to get to top speed..
But Google says that comes out to 13.5 yards per second or 40.77 total yards

If it's Stephen Hawking, Well I couldn't find the exact stat on his chairs top speed (believe me I tried) but hoverround says most powered chairs max out around 5mph
A quick stop at google mph - yards/persecond says that's 2.44, so 7.32 yards

Hope that helps.

But then again I gotta think Hawkings chair is probably pretty dope, So he probably has one of the 10mph models hover round talks about.. so double that to 2.88yards per second, 14.64 total yards.Most power wheelchairs average a top speed of approximately 5 mph. However, some power chair models can achieve maximum speeds of 10 mph and more.1
Hope that helps.
