LONG GUN FROM THE FRONT—DEAD

SIDE (DISARMING UNDER GUNMAN’S

ARM)

Shotgun/Assault Rifle/Submachine Gun Defenses

STARTING POSITION: Passive stance.

1. As the attacker presents the rifle, send your right hand to the weapon in a

straight line, keeping your hand open and your fingers pointing towards the
ground at a 45º angle. Keeping your right arm stiff, put the palm of your hand at
the barrel of the weapon and push in a straight line to your left. This has the
added benefit of putting your motion and weight toward the gunman even
though your feet have not yet moved. Your right hand should move first, but

after it begins, bring your left hand to the crook of your right elbow to keep it out
of the line of fire.
