was that what US soldiers tried to do in vietnam ?
I will waste my time giving you the real answer. One of the first things you are taught in Basic Combat Training after your are issued your rifle is the proper way to stand guard on a post. This includes challenging the identity of those who approach for the purpose of entry. You are taught to say "Halt. Who goes there?" The challenged individual must verbal identify themselves if they are a legitimate entity. After they announce their name and rank you are trained to instruct them to place the ID on the ground and take six paces backwards. With you rifle aimed at them with one arm you approach their ID, kneel in front of on one knee, keeping your weapon trained on them while maintaining eye contact, pick up the ID with your free hand, bring up to eye level in line with their face, and confirm their previously stated identity.
The key thing here is six paces backwards. The reason for this is even with your weapon drawn, locked, and loaded if your assailant is closer than six paces they can move to grab and gain control of your weapon before your brain can tell you finger to pull the trigger and for your finger to respond to this command. There are literally thousands of videos from LEO, martial artists, and combat veterans covering this fact.
A knife vs a gun within a 18 foot range or less will win more often than not if the training and conditioning between both parties is in a state of parity. These are proven facts demonstrated by people who know way more than me. You on the other hand have no training and zero actual martial experience. It is also a concept that was proven to me in the late 80's in real life when I was held at gunpoint in a small room with no weapon of my own. Long story short the bad guy with the gun got too close and got shot in his off weapon hand by his own gun with my assistance.
I await your meaningless troll response.
