My fear is that there are actually gun nuts out there that will take this seriously and try teaching Gun kata as an actual martial art. *sigh*
I'm just having trouble getting my mind around someone taking firearms, the distance weapon par excellance, and using them as the basis of what looks like a substitute for a stick art.
Gun Kata = Arnis, except with Tec-9s insead of sticks...
Nope. Doesn't compute...even as fiction... :erg:
Meh. The phrase "pistol-whip" has been in the lexicon for about as long as there have been pistols

It's one of the first things I was taught but it should be common sense( why DO they keep caling it "common sense" any damn way) to begin with: If you are deploying a firearm, even a sidearm, distance is your friend.
Yes, exactly. It's sort of the inverse case of two 18th century guys getting together to have a duel with rapiers, except that instead of dueling, they get on opposite sides of a ravine, and each one throws his rapier at the barely visible other....
... can we get a name for this equally odd method of combat? `Rapier barrage', maybe?....
Perhaps the Broadsword Boogie......no. No that was bad.
But yeah, I see people do this and to my eyes it's as though I'd given them a chainsaw and now must watch them try to bang nails in with it.
