+2,263 People in movies are unrealistically calm when they have guns pointed at their face. You would be way too freaked out to have a levelheaded conversation with the gun holder, amirite?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Staying calm is always the key to increasing your chances of survival. If you want to live you have to think about your situation. If you freeze up, then you're as good as screwed. IF you think your way out you raise your chance of surviving. Don't freak out, just think it out.

I should probably role play hypothetical situations just in case

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Most certainly you should. I know exactly what I would do in a hypothetical situation in which I encounter a polar bear on the streets...

care to elaborate?

Because if someone pointed a gun at your head and would be inclined to kill you, you'd calmly chat.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Well if you've had military training and the police probably get this same training too, but the first rule of survival you are taught, when in a dangerous situation is maintaining your cool.... And I mean in all the films, the people are probably cops, ninjas, assassins, spies, or all four. So these people's character has already had this training....

not all people turn into dithering idiots in the face of danger. some people are trained to stay calm in situations like that

I would be calm if a gun was pointed, would freak out for knives.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

yeah knives are painful and could lead to torture, a gun is a quick and painless death, my adrenaline would be pumping but i don't think i would completely lose it

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Gee, I never thought of it like that. I'm just terrified for death.

I'm not so sure about that, my friends been shot before when I was 6, because I used to live in an undeveloped country where armed military ran rampant in the country alongside militias and he didn't die after getting shot and lived for a long while actually.... It's just where you get shot, a gun can be just as painful as a knife, if not more

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Exactly what I thought.....I mean...it would REALLY hurt to have a bullet go through your calf from your kneecap to your heel....but you probably wouldn't die very quickly...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm not saying you can't inflict lots of pain with a gun i'm just saying a knife will hurt more. Shoot some one in the head and they won't feel any pain but stabbing anywhere will cause lots of pain. Someone I know has been stabbed and shot (he lived in a troubled neighborhood) he says the gun shot barely hurt compared to the knifing, we was shot in the arm and stabbed in the thigh.

I know! People in the movies are so badass. I mean they wake up mysteriously in the hospital alone and beaten up. And they just rip out their IVs and slip past the nurses. I would at least want to see my chart first, and maybe get some juice.

Until you're in a situation like that, you really have no idea what you'd do/say. Personally, I stayed calm. Freaking out and being hysterical just didn't fit with a gun to my temple. And as far as I know, I'm not a zombie. So yee.

If you freak out, the gunman is more likely to shoot.
