You might get lucky and get the BG, or you might get dead. It's not going to reliably put little lead/steel balls in a bad guy by pulling the trigger while it is pointed in the general direction. As we all know, you still have to aim a shotgun. Intimidation works don't knock it.Ģ) If you cannot shoulder your boomstick for whatever reason (confined space, injury, need to remain behind cover) a laser will help you aim that thing when you cannot line up the sights. He's still alive today because of that laser. (It was dark, so he probably only saw the light on the carbine and may not have known it was a firearm.) When the man turned on his little laser, the perp stopped dead in his tracks and wimpered "don't shoot me" (or it might have been "don't tase me," I read this some time ago) until Police arrived. The perpetrator continued to try to work his way inside and eventually turned towards the man with the carbine. Two months ago, a private citizen (from another forum) reported confronting a person attempting to "gain access" to a neighbor's home (and daughter) and trained his carbine on him. Most of the insurgents turned tail and ran, and a half-dozen or so received pointed "thank you's" for sticking around. In Iraq, 2003 or 2004 I think, an outnumbered and cut off British platoon low on ammunition fixed bayonets and charged their numerically-superior Iraqi/insurgent enemies. We continue to issue and train with bayonets for intimidation. We still teach and utilize a "war cry" in the US Marine Corps for intimidation. The "Rebel Yell" had an effect on Union soldiers during the Civil war many turned tail and ran when confronted with a mass of screaming Rebel bodies. Two points on the usefulness of lasers (or lacktherof, if you're so inclinded to believe):ġ) Don't knock intimidation. Some folks don't want a laser, that's fine.
