Airman kills shooter the "wrong way" but wins the day

So, dude does just about everything he should not have, but wins the day. One handed, no cover, etc. So, good on him. It could have ended badly, glad t worked out for him:

His firing technique, he admitted, was not perfect.

“I did not use any sort of tactical training in the slightest,” Friar said. “I fired one-handed across the street at him and managed to hit him both times somehow. So, I will admit that was not proper shooting form in any way, but it did work out for me somehow. I feel like the adrenaline did the opposite of making me nervous. It just calmed me down and locked me in at that moment.”

If the names were not the same, I’d think they were unrelated stories.

Well, I gotta say, kid sure did stay gangsta calm. I would not recommend that vid to people as to best approaches to such a threat, but he won, other guy lost, all good.

I thought he stuck his offhand in his pocket for a second.
