After undergoing professional training, a gunman could confirm a target, aim, and pull the trigger in roughly 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.
If they fired repeatedly, they could skip confirming the target and making a large aiming motion, relying solely on their muscles' conditioned responses to complete the firing action. Their shooting time was approximately under 0.2 seconds.
A small number of exceptionally professional gunmen could reduce the entire process of confirming a target, aiming, and firing to under 0.15 seconds!
It was truly astonishing. Human reactions could be that fast, far beyond what most people imagined!
But when people were on the receiving end of an attack, their reactions became much slower!
From hearing a gunshot to beginning to dodge took approximately half a second to one second.
The human brain had to process where the sound came from before choosing which direction to dodge, and this was often when the casualties first began to mount.
Once people could determine the source of the bullets, their dodging time would drop to under 0.5 seconds.
The data above all came from records of professional gunmen and bodyguards between the ages of fourteen and thirty. In fact, after the age of twenty-two, a person's overall abilities would already begin to decline.
The peak of human physical ability and various reflexes was actually very brief!
After the age of twenty-six, these figures would become extremely ugly, but professional gunmen could barely maintain them through continuous repetitive training and muscle memory.
Once they passed thirty, they could only bow their heads to the passage of time!
The five old men in the restaurant had clearly passed thirty by a great many years!
Only after the bullets struck their bodies did they react and try to dodge, but by then, whether they dodged or not
