>>1850Ok the polcel was outfitted with body armor and helmet and a pretty beefy rifle. Since we cant open carry in my state a handgun would just get you killed against that. So it would be better to just run. But to what degree can cover even help against a rifle with that caliber, would ducking behind a counter or wall even help or would the bullets go right through?
No.1854
>>1853Yeah based on what I've seen its always better to run first. I think a great majority of people cant sprint fast either. That way u get shot in the leg or so but you might make it out alive. Also running behind some cover out of the line of sight of the shooter.

>>1852>Since we cant open carry in my state a handgun would just get you killed against that.Can always get a "better" pistol, like an FN Five-Seven or if you can't afford something so fancy something in 7.62 Tokarev. I imagine some revolvers are good for it too if you want to go Dirty Harold on them but I don't know much about those, and the disadvantages are obvious.
The security guard hit the polcel in his armor, these guns would have put a bullet through it. If there's anything a security guard with a gun should do it's get one of these instead of his Glock.
Another tip is to avoid the trigger happy and nervous cops showing up and blasting you, if you kill a shooter, don't do a securing the area LARP, holster your gun and GTFO.

>>1857you could have a rifle, but in a non open carry state you wont have a rifle with you when you need it most. Then a polcel who doesnt care about going to jail for life will get the drop on you. Its better to run then if you have a handgun vs a rifle situation

Don't fall for the normalcy bias meme, if you see a guy decked in body armor and carrying a weapon, don't assume he's a cosplayer or larper, especially if the potential shooter seems anxious or excited.
Most shootings happen in schools or commercial buildings, and I hate going shopping so personally I've got that covered at least.
Almost all of them are "lone wolves" so you don't have to worry that there might be a second shooter working with them, so focus on getting away as soon as possible. This also helps if you want to build a squad (>>1869).
Most of them also last 3-5 minutes so whatever you're going to do you're going to need to do it fast.
Only 4% of the time will an active shooter get stopped by cops or an armed civilian. The rest of the time they leave, surrender or kill themselves.
So basically you should hope you aren't one of the first people shot, get as far away from the shooter as possible and then hide and take cover by putting as many obstructions as possible. Fighting should be a last resort and there's a high chance cops or even other civilians will mistake you for the active shooter.

>>1863The round does the vast majority of the lifting, although barrel length does affect muzzle velocity, and to some extent so does the mechanism but most pistols are straight blowback. There are graphs with the optimum barrel length around the internet you can find easily and you'll be surprised at some stuff that's suboptimal like the FGC-9. Pistols have a suboptimal barrel length in order to keep them compact so you can always squeeze a little bit more out with more length on the barrel, although check the legality with that stuff if you do mess with it.
I don't know much about armor but I know that these two rounds (7.62 and 5.7) are the exception to the rule for armor rated for pistol rounds. I've seen people say that the reason the Tokarev does so well is because the Russians loved steel core ammunition, and Russian ammo will probably not be coming to America soon so make sure you're careful selecting your ammo. Also these calibres may not be meant to fuck with plates, but you'll have a better chance defeating those plates with something that can defeat lesser armor.
tl;dr: It's pretty much all about the ammo, pick a gun based on the right calibre and make sure to buy quality ammunition

I think a good general rule is if you cant see them they cant see you. The only thing is movies make you think bullets are instantly stopped by walls and shit, but they punch right through in real life. You'd need a lot of stuff between you to be safe.

>>1911>The only thing is movies make you think bullets are instantly stopped by walls and shit, but they punch right through in real life. Depends what bullets. most 5.56 rounds, probably the most common cartridge used in mass shootings nowadays, will be stopped very quickly by barriers, some will even fragment in a couple inchs of drywall. Still it's a good rule of thumb to put as much of a barrier as possible between you and the shooter.
No.1918
>>1913Most ballistic helmets offer little protection beyond low power pistol rounds at best. Probably main issue is that the guy was attacked off guard and only had a pistol. I heard that the kid was hit by the security guard in the chest but that the armour stopped it, I would love to know what armour that was and what gun the security guard had. He went above and beyond his calling to shoot this kid though, he was outmatched even if he was a better shot or had more experience in a firefight. To stop the shooter safely you would want to have at least 2 guys with rifles or smgs.

>>1919Carry one gun. You won't be able to use 2 at the same time. Idk if it's even possible for a civilian to get a license to carry a full auto weapon on their person. If you could then I would suggest a short barreled ar-15 pattern rifle or perhaps even an aks74u or similar gun could be ideal. Both have access to good armour piercing ammunition. You are gonna wanna stick a good can on it so you don't go deaf immediately firing full auto indoors with presumably no ear protection. Subsonics could be even better if they penetrate the body armour and expand or fragment properly at the speeds they are reaching. So maybe something like .300 blackout or hand loaded subsonic 7.62x39. Another concern is overpenetration of barriers. You don't want to kill random bystanders so whatever round you use should also be able to fragment into a safer projectile after hitting a barrier. If you really need your weapon to be light and compact for carrying around on your person for qcb only, and you want more than a pistol, then go for a personal defense weapon. Something like a mp7 or vepyr or the iconic Škorpion vz. 61 machine pistol. However you should be able to penetrate the body armour an active shooter may have. I am not sure what kind of armour most mass shooters used recently. I have heard plates a few times and they are quite common in America now, so most likely these would be level 3 or 3+ plates which would be rated to stop a few rounds of a specific load for 5.56x45 NATO. This armour would pose a difficulty for many small caliber smgs or pdws. However I would imagine if you can get the drop on him then you could incapicitate and kill him with a burst of decently aimed fire even if his torso was shielded sufficiently by his armour. If you have a bit more room like a backpack and this is assuming you are expecting an active shooter for whatever reason, like due to america, then you could bring a short barreled automatic rifle chambered with armour piercing 5.56x45 or 5.45x39 ammunition that you know will fragment disintegrate safely after colliding with obstacles.
