In this scenario are we to assume that he is a master swordsman and you are a expert marksman with a pistol? lol
No we assume I am a man with a gun and we assume he is a man with a sword.
Yes but thats where people make stupid assumptions.
While guns SEEM very "point and shoot" simple, hitting what you are aiming at, especially under a stressful situation is most certainly not.
Any expert will tell you this, no need to check your friend's anime sources lol.
I'm not saying a guy with a sword can beat a guy with a gun, but it wouldn't be the first time. Where as all a swordsman might need to combat you is balls the size of Jupiter, YOU will need a little more luck and skill, unless you plan on waiting until he's less than 10 feet away to take your first shot. Hopefully you remember to remove the safety.
Again, hitting a target if you aren't proficient with a gun isn't easy mode simple... a moving target is even WORSE. Especially one rushing toward you with the intent on ending you as quickly as possible.
Then of course the calibre of gun you use also matters... just 'hitting him' with anything less than say a .356 is a crap shoot whether you will have the stopping power enough to keep him from riding his adrenaline rush those last few steps and take you with him to hell. It's not like in the movies where you shoot someone and they fall over instantly dead from a torso shot... And if he has sufficient amounts of adrenaline pumping through him, you'd better pull off a headshot because he might just get close enough to get one good chop at you with his sword, which interestingly enough requires a considerable amount of less skill in order to vanquish a foe, even less if the foe is standing there dumbstruck that his bullets didn't kill his attacker and is now facing his own impending doom..
The stuff about deflecting bullets is nonsense. In truth, I'd just let my own momentum carry me through, take the shots, pray that you're a shitting marksman and miss something vital, and chop at an angle down towards your neck, so that no matter how you try to duck, i'm bound to connect with SOME part of your body, shoulder, arm, or neck.
And heaven help you if I slip myself some PCP first... people high on that stuff don't even know they are dead until it's worked its way out of their system, which should be enough time for me to remove some sort of useful body part from your body..
This is all theoretical of course, only a fool would bring a sword to a gunfight, unless demons are involved, then all bets are off.
