W.E. Fairbairn On His Method of Combat Shooting And The Reasons Behind It Based On his Experiences in the Shanghai Municipal Police



Note: My apologies for the formatting, I'm having issues with my WordPerfect program for some reason and can't get it to work right.


W.E. Fairbairn on the "Fairbairn Method of Shooting"

Background:
"Prior to my association with the armed forces of Great Britain and the United
States I served as Assistant Commissioner in Command of the Riot Squads of
the Shanghai Municipal Police Command from 1925 to 1940. During this
period, our force handled over 2000 riot calls of all types and descriptions,
including shooting affrays, many of which were against armed robbers and
kndnappers. In addition, the squads were responsible for the investigation and
tracking down of vice-rings and narcotics smugglers."..........

".......The art of close contact fighting includes fighting with and without
knives; firing of a pistol under every conceivable condition and at every
possible position likely to be met in actual combat during day or night.........."


Mystery Ranges:

"In order to create simulated combat conditions for training purposes, I planned
and supervised the erection of indoor mystery ranges at Areas B-2, A-3, E and
F. These ranges were originally developed by me in connection with police
work in China and were first used in military training in the courses given to
the British Commandos and the British Army. In the mystery ranges a
simulation was affected of actual battle noises, conditions under which
shooting affrays occur, especially in house to house combat. The training
included methods of entering closed and locked doors, methods of bursting
open such doors, methods of using trap doors, methods of roof top fighting and
firing on moving and possibly concealed targets. Under varying degrees of
light, darkness, and shadows, plus the introduction of sound effects, moving
objects, and various alarming surprises, an opportunity is afforded to test the
moral fiber of the student and to develop his courage and capacity for self
control."

"The course consists of practical war methods of shooting with the one-hand
gun, in which any man of average intelligence can be taught to draw, load fire
and hit his opponent within a second."

"This is not a new-fangled idea, but a proven method which has been in use in
the far-east since 1919, against some of the most desperate criminals in the
world - men who were, (in most cases), known killers, who preferred always to
shoot it out, rather than being captured and finishing up in front of a firing
squad, etc....."

"All affrays were on the run - up and down stairways, over roofs, down cobbled
alleyways, or in very crowded streets. Ninety percent of the shooting was in the
dark and the majority of hits were within four yards. Some of the police were
killed by being shot in the back at a matter of inches distance only."

"Students should be informed that the average shooting with the one-hand gun is
over, so far as they will be concerned, in a very few seconds. There will no
time to reload. If there first shot takes longer than a third of a second to fire,
they will not be the one to tell the newspaper about it. It is literally a matter of
the quick and the dead - so they can take their choice."

Comparing U.S. Government Response -Swine Flu 2009 vs Coronavirus 2020

The Democratic Party Leaders are complaining about The Trump Administration response to the Coronavirus.

Can we all say politically motivated?

Let's look at a comparison shall we?

Swine Flu (H1N1) 2009, Obama Administration response;

Failure to declare an Emergency for six months after first cases are reported

Border with Mexico (origination point for Flu) not sealed, no Travel ban enforced

- 60,000,000  (Million)   Infected
-      274,000                    Hospitalized
-        12,000                    Deaths

Source Data CDC website



Coronavirus (Covid 19) 2020, Trump Administration response;

7 weeks in, and Current administration has yet to declare an emergency

First Travel Ban (China, India) implemented Feb 2, 2020

CNBC News Source Data


Further Travel Bans (Italy, Iran, South Korea) implemented Feb 29, 2020

 Univ. of Minn. Center For Infectious Disease Research and Policy

As of 3-11-2020;

- 1,016   Infected
-             (No Current Data Available) Hospitalized
-      32   Dead

Source Data CBS News Current Number of Infections

Source Data ABC News Current Number Of Deaths


Current Trump Administrations biggest deficiency, insufficient number of testing kits, failure of allowing the States to institute their own testing by getting the FDA  approve use of testing kits currently under review. Of course if it turns out that the the kits were faulty, everybody will be up in arms that the Trump Administrations FDA approved a bad product and he and the FDA will get blamed for that.

There is still a ways to go until this all plays out, but at this point, the current Administrations policies have not been the disaster that the Current Democratic leadership keeps screaming about. The final decision won't be known until months down the road when this current "plague to end all plagues" is finally resolved.

Hey, Mike Bloomberg, The Farmers Of America Have A Message For You


Mike Bloomberg Quote From 2016
"First, while describing the pre-industrial agrarian economy, he said he could “teach anybody” to farm. “It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, you add water, up comes corn. You can learn that,” he said. Then he said working in the modern information economy requires “a lot more gray matter.”


"FUCK YOU MIKE"
