In movies, and even real life, why do people run directly away from a person with a gun? It's not like you can outrun a bullet, amirite?

I'm sure as hell gonna try

Why try when I can just take a bullet to the eye and still walk away like a boss?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

@phillipsgurrl so you cant run diagnol or sideways? Are u seriously that stupid?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

unless you are the Flash or Superman or the likes. Then again if you were Superman you could just deflect the bullets.

actually running away from the gunman makes you a more difficult target. also, it gives you an oppurtunity to hide.

It's instinct.

There's technique to running away from someone with a gun, you zig zag, they have less of a chance of hitting you.

Isn't there a movie coming out next year? So yes, until after that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You mean "Until then, no?"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think I meant something like, he would be able to kill you even if you serpentined all the way up through the movie. Then, after the movie, there really would be no more Jack Bauer. I'm only guessing at what I meant, I was half asleep when I wrote that comment.

That's the same exact thing I first thought when I read this post.

You can't run sideways because the could just curve the bullet. Like in that movie wanted. You all saw that, right? Just me? Nevermind then.

Yup if the shooter is like those people in Wanted, you're totally fucked.

Or they could move their hand. Either way.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Move their hand?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As in they could simply change their aim.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh ok, I thought he was saying if the runners were to move their hand they would some how be saved from the shooter.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This is also true if you are god. God may move god's hand and god is saved. I say god many times because I am not sure of the gender of god and I see that god is right there. I do not want to offend god by calling god by the wrong gender.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It seems I did offend god.

This is what I was trying to say this morning. -_- ( fail on my part, no one agreed) bad phrasing I guess

by Anonymous 13 years ago

you posted this this morning?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well it wasn't exactly like this but that's what I was trying to say.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That is why you run in zig-zag patterns, not a straight line.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's harder for them to hit you if you're runnign away, especially if you run in a certain way.
