	When Taylor was wounded in the final shootout when the round hit his hand adrenaline would be going, but does the police teach officers how to shoot 1 handed and could you shoot a .40 cal glock that accurately with 1 hand?--[[User:MarineCorps1\|SeoulMan123]] ([[User talk:MarineCorps1\|talk]]) 08:23, 12 October 2013 (EDT)		When Taylor was wounded in the final shootout when the round hit his hand adrenaline would be going, but does the police teach officers how to shoot 1 handed and could you shoot a .40 cal glock that accurately with 1 hand?--[[User:MarineCorps1\|SeoulMan123]] ([[User talk:MarineCorps1\|talk]]) 08:23, 12 October 2013 (EDT)

			:Most, if not all law enforcement officers are trained in how to fight under duress. This includes how to use weapons with one arm/hand disabled or how to fire with your off-hand in the event that your dominant hand is incapacitated. Secondly, it's not uncommon for police officers to attend shooting schools of various types on their own dime or as department budgets permit. Third, Taylor is mentioned as having served with the Marines. Considering the vast number of military veterans that serve as police officers in their home towns, it's not unusual to see this technique. As far as accuracy goes, it's going to depend on the training of the user, physical conditioning, responses to stress, etc. In a full-sized pistol like the G22, the recoil of the .40S&W round will not be that much, if at all heavier than a 9mm round. I've fired a number of full-sized pistols chambered in .40 with one hand and my accuracy didn't suffer that much compared to a two-handed stance. Granted I had ideal conditions, ie - in a shooting range, time to set up my stance, etc... [[User:DeltaOne\|DeltaOne]] ([[User talk:DeltaOne\|talk]])

	The vests that police usually wears won't stop AK rounds but most likely once a round grows through someone, it might have been stopped. If hit on the right spot, you might survive. People have survived being shot with AKs before. It isn't pretty.

Realism behind AKMS not penetrating Kevlar?

	This question really spooks me. In the last shootout scene where Zavala blocked Taylor from the AK spree at point-blank range, is it really possible? I mean, Kevlar is made only to fend off small arms caliber like the 9mm and it far compared with military metal hard body armor plate so if the scene were to happen in reality, most probably Taylor can't survive right... So here's the question, will AK's 7.62x39mm penetrate 2 Kevlars? (Considering 1 for each officer, takes 3 layers to hit Taylor)--[[User:S9771773G\|S9771773G]] ([[User talk:S9771773G\|talk]]) 11:08, 29 August 2013 (EDT)		This question really spooks me.
