Before you read this understand that it is from a dream and being as such the iphone somehow had some magic teleportation ability.
In the dream, I misjudged where I wanted to go and the iphone teleported me directly next to a car with three shady looking guys. As soon as they spotted I was carrying an iphone they were interested in me. The first thing I thought of was my CCW only to realize I wasn't carrying at the time. As a result I started trying to use the phone to get me out of there only to have it start acting up (damn Apple). The driver got out of the car and approached me. He asked me what I was doing there and wanted to know if I could help. Then (I know... I shouldn't have been standing so close to the car) the passenger got out, hitting me with the door as he exited and knocking me down. He had some sort of stick in his hand. He asked to see my iPhone. A third person was in the car but he did not exit. I did not know if any of them had a gun. Basically the first two guys continued to badger me until I could get the iphone running again and get me out of there. I know it's silly, mainly considering that the iPhone has no teleportation ability. But I think it raised a valid question. If I'm in a situation where I am outnumbered and I have no immediate exit, is my only choice to draw and hope for the best if I do have my CCW? What if I don't? |

First of all...never dream while not carrying.
Second if you are...Mag dump |

Wipe your ass with the iphone, then start flingin' poo.
Either they kick your ass and take the phone, or they write you off as a 5150. |

You're going to be hit.
Try to keep one guy between you and the others. Move, a lot. Play for keeps. Your only hope is to remove one of them from the fight quickly. This means Eyes, throat, groin, bladder are fair targets. The fight will probably last about 3 seconds. you will either be dead, severely beaten, or will prevail. If any of then are armed and you are not, you will more than likely be in serious doo doo. If any of them has a knife, you will be cut.

Toss the iPhone at then, while at the same time drawing your CCW. Any sudden movements after that, take your chances. Fuck an iPhone, I would rather live.

Something I learned in Karate (second degree blackbelt)....
Most people are sized and shaped such that the maximum number of people who can attack you from one direction, and actually have enough room to get close enough to hit you, is 4. Number on priority in a situation like this (if not armed) is to make sure you keep all of them in front of you. You will have to be light on your feet to accomplish this, but even a slow semi-fatty like me can do it so I'm sure you can. Now, fighting four guys at once is tough, but it's not impossible either. You'll have to really be on top of your game and make sure you don't get to grappling with them. And if you can find a stick or trash can lid, or some other object to wail the crap out of one of them with, do it. Thugs usually are after an easy market. Bust one up a bit and they'll probably look for less dangerous targets. |

Immediately drop trou and begin jacking off screaming, "Who wants some! WHO WANTS SOME!?" while waving your unit around wildly.

In my dreams my iPhone can change itself into a terminator. Maybe that would work for your situation.

This is silly. Anyone who has ever watched a Kung Fu movie knows that bad guys only attack one at a time while the others patiently wait their turn.
One kick will send the bad guys spinning through the air and you're done. |

Something between this...
...and this... ...would work out well. |
|
Pick one out and fubar him. Hopefully the others will take off.
If not, your fucked. |

I always summon a Dragon or Godzilla.... thats how I always beat my nightmares... But then sometimes... Godzilla is my nightmare and I cant even nuke em from orbit.

Martyrdom perk might be cheap, but it always works. |

What to do when you're outnumbered in close proximity?
Yell: "He's got a gun!!!" Then watch everyone scatter. |
|
if unarmed either get out of there or go on the offensive and pre-empt their attack. eye gouge, fish hook, kick in the shins and balls, break noses, rip off ears there is no "fair fight"

Re-enact the "I need guns, lots of guns" scene from the Matrix.

When surrounded my multiple opponents, identify the weakest one and devote all attack in the most ruthless fashion towards that one... if possible, break through any ring they have created in doing so.
Trying to dodge around and look for an opportunity takes time, time is on their side, as 3 against one gives better general odds to your enemy... the longer it goes, the more chance they have to overcome your skill and get in a lucky shot. Do not allow them to be comfortable. Absolutely brutalize the weakest one in an attempt to both break the circle and discourage any of the other opponents from approaching you. Do not wait, do not hesitate, let them see the lack of fear in your eyes and let them question whether they really have the advantage or not. If you wait, the strongest will likely come forth, or the one with the most to prove. By choosing your opponent, you have already taken away their ability to act against you with the strongest. If you can not escape in any way, after terrorizing the first, go on to the next weakest, or closest, and so on. This has been a public service announcement paid for by angry paranoid people. |

if you don't have a CCW and no way of escape, you can try to say something that severely disrupts their train of thought. people generally run scripts through their minds and try to predict how a conversation is going to go. we are creatures that operate off of patterns. stray from the victim pattern and some people will get very confused.

Go chimpy on them.
Jump, cling, bite face off. Repeat as needed. |

I always get put in shitty sitautions in my dreams.
But in real life, if it was just hand to hand vs 3 guys, I would try to avoid going to the ground. If you feel you cant escape, then your best bet is to close the distance and use the clinch to your advantage. It would be harder for all of them to hit you at once in the clinch and hopefully you can take the first one out as fast as possible, thru elbows,knees, or uppercuts. Learn how to use the plum clinch effectively and any normal non-trainer person will have problems getting out, and they would put their head in a position for vicious knees, and if you have to pop them up you can throw a elbow. You just have to be relentless in that situation. |

Raise your arms up high so the nuts and bolts in your explosive vest won't be obstructed on their way out. |
|
Hold Down Block and Hit Down Down Left A B B B A UP DOWN and yell "FINISH HIM" at the end.
|

You carry a second gun and dual wield.
Would someone please post a picture of that cop dual wielding? |

Fuck an iPhone, I would rather live. you are forgetting that this iphone has a teleportation system haha, this thread has potential to turn into a 1911/glock or beans or no beans thread, hell i think we have proven we can argue about anything. |
