A
practical system of fighting
The system is based on the
following premises:
-
Multiple
weapons - Reliance on one weapon is not adequate given different
variables of an encounter. Several weapon options are required
to be effective.
-
Weapon
selection - An instantaneous, real-time method of weapon
selection is needed based on varying situational variables.
Situational variables include operator goals, number and
characteristics of opponents, distance, time, light,
need for stealth, locality of associates/general public, and
environmental elements.
-
Weapon
availability - Procurement of the weapon options is easily
possible and can be readily available in most settings. There
are no high-tech and esoteric weapon options presumed.
-
Equipment
effectiveness - Correct equipment and correct configuration of
the equipment is crucial. This includes the weapons,
harnesses, accessories and containers. Where necessary,
concealment is a consideration in effectiveness.
-
Seamless
weapon transition - Transitional phasing from one weapon to another needs to
be integrated, seamless and fast. Transitions can occur
multiple times instantaneously in a time period.
-
Portability
- The operator needs to securely and safely carry the weapons.
In addition, the weapons need to be easily accessible to the
operator while at the same time ensuring retention capability.
-
Environment
- Objects of an environment are utilized. The operator
needs to be skilled in real-time identification of environmental
options. Objectives of utilization include:
-

-
Reduction
(diminish the opponent's ability for offense, setting up opponent
for destruction)
-
Distraction
