    I think stepping off cover is a good idea as well since if you’re engaged and being shot at on a corner, spall is still a dangerous threat the closer you are to your cover. Anything like brick or sheet metal can splinter and be a secondary injury where the guy doesn’t even have to hit you to injure you. I think KagWerks talked about it in a video. But as you stated, now you’re further from that cover so if your target is getting aggressive and closing the gap you’re going to get caught in a sticky situation.

      Totally agree I saw a Marshfield, WI Police officer use a 8ft by 6ft pannel of glass as cover without eye pro. Aginst an armed subject. I told him it was not a good idea. Ninjas where said to be invisible because they threw obsidian into the eyes of their enemy. The officer comes back at me saying are you some tactical expert did you go to school for this. Marshfield PD requires 1 semester of criminal justice or law thats it no police academy. I am a MA graduate I know the history of tactics when and why they where deployed and how to effectivly use them. My dad served 1965 to 2013 all but 1 year was with army SF retired a full bird. He was sitting next to me. But yes very good point you made. That officer also had 2 friendlies and a whole dairy queen full of people in his line of fire.

    in this one it's all about exposure, and making sure the enemy requires more "steps" in order to get line of sight on you and engage you.

    I suprised that those obvious shadows never entered into the conversation. Tells everyone where you are and that you are here to fight. Start that battle clock a few seconds early.

    I feel like when you're sucking cover, it's also much faster to roll around the corner to swap sides need it be if you hear or see something off to the left after you've established the right side is clear

      How comes ? I am not good at tactical fireing but it sounds interesting. Can you explain to me how this would have saved the officer's life ? And which wideo should I search for in order to see the event ?

      @@alexpirvuloiu742 he was referring to the Houston(?) Shooting in which the terrorists had military training. One officer was behind cover (a large column) and the bad guy about 20 feet on the other side on another column.
      Bad guy knows officer is there, shoots rounds to one side then runs immediately to the other side and kills the officer in close proximity. Had the officer stepped back to look at both angles instead of only worrying about the one side, maybe he would have had a chance.
      The video is probably on LiveLeak or the like.

      @@thejhonnie correct. The officer was rightly terrified and did what most would do and tried to get as close to cover as possible. It's just natural to want that protection during a fire fight but it'll get you killed.

    Problem with getting closer to the cover is that its way more likely the threat sees you first.

      @@ryean1_aus Bit of a necro answer, but the further back you are from the apex the smaller pie you slice at a time. The closer you are the bigger slice you do. So if you're far back, you can focus on centimeters/inches at a time instead of large swaths of ground. While the possible opposition will have to cover the whole front/area at a time you only have to worry about inches and by definition you'll be able to get the first shot probability pretty high the smaller pie you can slice. Obviously theres limitations in physical space on how far back you can slice, and pros and cons as mentioned above depending on a lot of factors.

      @@ryean1_aus For one because what Arctic Warfaighter said: If your close small movements result in fast exposure around the corner and second because you are broader than your eyes. If you are closer to a corner than your enemy with roughly the same broad than he will start to see your shoulder before your eyes can see him. Maybe counter intuitive but simple geometry.
