Bare in mind that I've never claimed that my personal capabilities with guns or situations like this are highly efficient.

Which is all that matters. There's a book I read. Called "On killing", written by an US army shrink. It was recommended to me when I asked for some material on how people deal with taking another's life. He really did his reasearch and, among other incidents, came up with soldiers from the civil war. They were killed in action but when they examined their guns, they noticed they had loaded over and over without firing a single shot. The barrels were virtually full to the brim with bullets. This was the time of front loaders, of course, but they underwent combat training nonetheless. Even they panicked, but resorted to their training without really making use of it. They just kept loading without firing.

As I said, I can relate. Not in being targetted, but in your body and mind developing a life of it's own when feeling threatened. So, going by that experience, I'm very careful in what I think about anyone's capabilities when being in a chaotic life and death situation.
